Ios 5.1 build 9b176 broke camera icon

I just upgraded to 5.1 build 9B176 apparently released today.   It broke my camera icon on the "slide to unlock" screen.   While the icon appears all the time (instead of as before where I had to double press the home button) if I tap the icon the screen bounces for a second but no camera.  What's up with that?  After entering my passcode I can launch the camera from the app just not on the unlock screen.

After searching around I found this thread. I too couldn't get the "button" to work. There are a lot of words I'd like to use right now, but they would probably get my repsonse deleted from this thread. For the most part Apple applications are reasonably intuative, but not this time. They changed the way an existing function works without any mention of it. The release notes for 5.1 mention that the camera icon is now always on the unlock screen. That was good. It is a nice change. But why the heck couldn't they have also included the sentence "To use the new camera icon slide it upwards."? Grrrrrr!
I hadn't even noticed the small lines above the icon. I gues that comes from being over 50 and not having my readers on while trying to use my iPhone.
Change happens, and frequently the end result is better. But if you change how an exitsting function works without letting your users know, they will be frustrated.

    The camera icon appears so that you can take a picture quickly without having to enter your password.  It is not responsible for the shutter sound.  The Touch always made that sound when manually closing or going to sleep even with older iOS that did not have the camera icon.

  • No Camera icon on Lock Screen?

    So the new iOS is suppose to have a camera icon on the lock screen. There isn't one, makes me think this isn't a lock screen at all....

    Try this:
    1)  Start with your phone off (not powered off) >> Press the home button twice >> You should have a small camera icon on the right hand side of the unlock slide >> Press the camera >> Presto >> your camera is up and running.
    2) Start with your phone off (not powered off) >> Press the home button once >> You should have the unlock slide >> From this screen >>Press the home button twice >> You should have a small camera icon on the right hand side of the unlock slide >> Press the camera >> Presto >> your camera is up and running.

  • I updated my iPod tough 4G to iOS 5 and can no longer access my camera. When I tap the camera icon it goes to a black screen. HELP?

    Camera no longer working in iOS 5 on my iPod touch 4G. I have a black screen when I tap the camera icon. I still have all my photos, but no camara. Any suggestions before I head to the Apple Genius Bar??

    Im having the same problem. I just got the itouch 4g this past sunday and everything was working great. Yesterday and today the camera went black out of nowhere and its black right now. After i turned it on and off it went back on but its doing it again. So i assume its just an iOS 5 bug thats doing this. But is there any talk about fixing this?

  • Camera icon on lockscreen not working in ios 5.1

    After updating to ios 5.1 yesterday I noticed that the camera icon on the lockscreen doesn't work correctly.  If you touch it, the bottom portion of the screen jumps up for a second, and you can see the camera app behind it. Any ideas?  I am using iphone4.

    Never mind - found it.

  • IOS 5 no camera icon EVEN after double click of home button

    Hi All,
    I updated to iOS 5 and everything is great except where's my camera gone?  know I know everyone asks where the camera icon is on the lock screen and the answer is to double click the home button on the lock screen. Yes I did that but there is still no camera icon! Only my music controls come on....
    Help please? Else I have no more camera functon for my phone and that is competely sad!
    BTW I'm on 3gs...have restored, have reset, have done everything else!
    Thxs

    You can already forget my first message, I finally found the solution :
    You need to go in Genereal - Settings - Restrictions,
    and authorize the camera (and others as well, like youtube which disappeared for me too)
    Hope it works for you too !

  • Can one remove the lock screen camera icon and function in iOS 5.1.1

    I recently updated my iPod touch to 5.1.1 to see what the later iOS was like, and I really dislike the camera icon on the lock screen. I can't seem to find a way of removing it, and using restrictions as was suggested elsewhere disables the camera all-together. I'm not liking the 5.1.1 experience and am considering going back to 4.1.2.

    It cannot be removed as you have discovered. Sorry.

  • Camera icon missing after updating to ios 5

    After updating to ios 5, the quick access camera icon is missing on the lock screen, I cannot access the camera unless I unlock phone. Has anyone else had this issue? I thought this was supposed to be one of the upgrade features?

    Yes. Mine too. Infact, along with Quick Access Camera Icon, my phone is also missing FaceTime and Imessage and Icloud (if there is any) icons. The settings, however, for facetime and imessage looks "Activated" because it doesn't say "waiting for activation" anymore when I eneter my password. it reads "Your phone number and email address will be shared……"

  • How do you remove camera icon on lock screen on iPhone 5 running iOS 7

    How do you remove camera icon on iPhone 5 running iOS 7

    I was on a long call. I locked the phone and slipped it in my pocket. Apparently the lock screen camera had activated though it had not taken any shots . The result was post my 40 odd minute call when I pulled the phone out to disconnect I discovered the camera was active and phone was hot and battery had reduced for 92% to around 50%. This seems a serious flaw in design...
