Undocumented 2.1 Features

[JFSikora]

Figured I would start a thread that we all can post to for undocumented features of the 2.1 firmware only.

Here is what I have found so far.

~You can pause the installation of apps by simply clicking on the icon.

~While listening to music via your headphones you can click the mic 3 times to go back a track.

~You can now take away the camera in the parental settings.

~You are now able to see APPS in iTunes to see how much space they are
taking up.

If I find more I will post asap.

I'll try to remember what i read in other forums as itunes was restoring:

1. Half circle next to partially watched tv or movies
2. Different icons for 3g but rather obvious
3. genius has to be done in itunes and is basically synced to phone
4. icons stay where they were (second hand info tho)

It can be done on the phone. iPod>Playlists>Genius. Pick a song and the Genius playlist is created. It starts to play and you get options to refresh, save, or make a new play list.

I thought Genius would be meh but it turns out to be great!

Really? Nice.. Yes, i have to say i like the genius feature. The top 100 lists, etc seldom give me what i want.

woo hoo. lyrics show up in a transparent pane over the album art in the song control screen (the same screen that the genius button is on). or at least they do for NIN - The Slip. comment from engadget. This a new feature or something i missed along the way?

Pass code exploit is now fixed. Double tapping the home button does nothing until you enter in your pass code.

Still going through update process due to backup at the moment. I'm so pleased to see that "previous song" thing - it really annoyed me that I could go forwards but not backwards - fantastic!! Now if only this update process would finish.....

If anyone figures out exactly how this extra text message alerts work... please update us... I know they announced it as a feature but I have yet to find a answer of how... I've let incoming texts sit and no other alerts happen. No way to toggle it on or off in the settings either... hmmm
