    Finger Gestures not working

    Have been seeing you have to enable the new finger gestures in Settings> General. I don't see it in my settings. Seems like it would be default though. I have tried it five fingers, four fingers and six toes and still can't get it to work. And I can't seem to find a guide to help me. Anybody know of one?

    The gestures are not part of the official iOS 4.3, so you won't be able to activate it under Settings.

    There is a workaround and that is by using XCode on a Mac, details can be found here:

    It should be noted, that no account is needed, hitting cancel at that step is enough to enable the gestures.

    Wow, I have been hearing about this near constant for 4.3 and was certain it would be in it. Was really stoked about it too. And I'm still saving up for a Mac. But thanks for the info.

    Does this have to be done on a Mac? I've been looking at this be hesitant to venture out and try it. But the finger gestures seem much more convenient. Has anyone on the forum tried this yet?

    As far as I know does this process require XCode, which only works on Mac. Which is also, why I have not been able to test it.
