I've not long had this pre-2.0 update and some of it just seems backwards. . . . . . wtf's happened to the top pulley menu? It works when you first unlock the phone, then it disappears once you've moved to another screen/app, and you can't get it back unless you lock the phone and unlock it again, how backwards is that? Who's bright idea was that...... smh

What is the point of putting shortcuts to stuff there to not be able to use it after moving once from the home screen?

And why is there a full breakdown of every ambiance now at the top of the screen? who the f* changes them THAT frequently that you need - at- your-fingertips-at-all-times access to ambiances? Which now incidentally, are a waste of time as one flip of the screen and it all goes black! I'm sick of hearing 'great things are coming to ambiances', seriously, just leave it in settings, cos you can't do anything in the top menu with it but change it or delete it, you can't edit it so why not just leave the fff thing in settings and do it all from there ? this is sending the gestures backwards IMO and swipe down from top to close doesn't close it cos now that's up from the bottom. . . . . .

Then when you unlock you have to pull in from the right to get to the icons that used to be on the home screen where you could keep your most frequently used icons before or use a simple upwards swipe to get to the grid that now takes tow or three steps more to do . . . . . .

It's trying to be all things to all people and it's messy, going from unlike to 'just like'
Oh yeah, the question. . . . . . why? Just why ?

yours sincerely
