Please fix this

Question

Hey. So I recently just upgraded from my iPhone 5 to an iPhone 6 Plus.    I am very impressed with how smoothly it is working. The graphic enhancements are amazing, too! However, I noted a few bugs that are still there since iOS 8's debut and they are kinda annoying and I want apple to get rid of them. First of all -- this one is EXTREMELY annoying -- is the multitasking feature. I love the way it works, but, um, it shows content that no longer exists. For example, say that you were about to close ten tabs from the multitask bar. But before you did that, you were on safari and you finally closed a web page. Once you click on the home button and you double press it, say you scroll to the safari app, you see the content you were recently viewing even though it's not really there. I'm sorry this is kinda hard to understand, I'm only 14. Another noted bug also involves the home button. Say you are on the weather application. You go to the multitasking bar and you close the tab. Just as you are about to, you repeatedly press the home button before it fully closes the application. Once its closed, you get stuck on a blank home screen, or in some cases, your left without your status bar (carrier, time, battery, etc.). One final thing I want to jot down is a new feature. I love iOS 8's capabilities, but it needs something. A few software update(s) ago, I remember apple added a feature to switch between 2G, 3G, and 4G along w/ LTE. I already know that it varies upon your carrier if they released 4G or not. But I want to be able to use 2G for battery saving and data consuming purposes. I only have 300 MB on my plan (AT&T), and I'm pretty sure phablets use a whole lot of data. I want to be able to switch between 2G, 3G, and 4G LTE, and I'm pretty sure other people do too. That's all I have to say. Please fix this apple, or are there any solutions to prevent these errors? Thanks.

My first question is why are you going in the recents and removing items at all? Unless an app is actively misbehaving, there's no reason to do this. You might want to review this article:

I've never experienced the error you're attempting to describe. But then, I can't figure out why you're throwing in that extra tap on the Home button.
The presence or absence of the ability to switch to 3G or 2G is carrier dependent. The carrier, not Apple determines if that setting is made available. In the U.S., carriers are in the process of deprecating their older, slower networks. They don't want you using them unless absolutely necessary because the newer networks are unavailable. The older networks don't have nearly the capacity of the newer ones.
