iOS5 and Quich Launch Camera

Nguyen35 · Nov 14, 2011

Hello everyone,

iOS5 is supposed to permit a quick launch of the built-in camera by tapping once on an icon, next to the bar "slide to unlock".
My iPhone 4 is updated to iOS 5.0.1 but that icon is missing, there is only the regular bar "slide to unlock".
So what happens? Does anyone have an idea about it?
Thanks
Here is what I found on Apple site.

Camera

Capture the moment at a moments notice.

Since your iPhone is always with you, its often the best way to capture those unexpected moments. Thats why youll love the new camera features in iOS 5. You can open the Camera app right from the Lock screen. Use grid lines, pinch-to-zoom gestures, and single-tap focus and exposure locks to compose a picture on the fly. Then press the volume-up button to snap your photo in the nick of time. If you have Photo Stream enabled in iCloud, your photos automatically download to all your other devices.

Double click the home button to wake the phone up and it shows both the MP3 player controls and Camera icon. Single click is the old behavior.

It was one of the most talked about. Lol. It was also the most forgotten.

It's the little things like this that make me wonder why it took so long to switch over.

Must've been a die hard bb fan converted over to android and now a iPhone fan. There's so much to learn about the iPhone.

It's cool, Thanks.
There is also another feature that shows up since the update: Whenever there is a sound emitted from my iPhone (Ringtone, reminder, alarm clock...) the light at the back flashes.
Whine I like it I would like to know how to switch the feature on / off.
Have an idea?
