A 64 bit OS is a bit more than that to be fair

It's the least they could do after 7 iterations of an OS.

Not happy with my 5 since updating to this. Phone crapped itself in the middle of the update the other night so had to do a restore, got iOS8 onto it but the phone has been running like a pig since. Battery randomly dropping a good few percentage, Safari randomly slowing down, phone just a bit laggy in general. Multiple hard resets haven't helped.
What's the best plan of action? Back up the phone then Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings and then just do a restore from my latest back up?

I was only really referring to the UI.

To do it properly, erase everything and set up as a new phone, making sure you've backed up photos, contacts, notes etc all on gmail or iCloud.

The easier option is wipe it all and restore from latest iCloud backup.

This thread highlights why you should never be the early adopter of an operating system, especially from Apple. Always wait for X.0.1!

My update is perfect, as are millions of others. With every update of any software, from every company there will always be a tiny number of glitches. Same for 0.1.

Turn off 5ghz network if you can.

From what I can see, the router is currently running at 2.4 ghz.

OS X has changed very little over the years. 10.10 will probably be the most radical overhaul of the look and feel of the OS since it first came out.

Does anyone else have an issue since updating to iOS 8 where the button of a bluetooth headset won't answer calls? The audio comes through fine. I've tried a hard reset, forgetting the device and re-pairing.

Apple have withdrawn the update as its causing more problems than its fixing.

Same here. Cellular gone haywire. Dropping all the time and switching to edge. Wifi not working. Apps slow to load. In general ios8 appears v laggy. Seriously thinking about jumping from apple. Sick of bad iOS releases.

I have an iPhone 5 and last night I had problems with the Bluetooth not working.

I could connect to the car radio but the call didn't play through the speaker and they couldn't hear me until I switched off Bluetooth. Anybody else have this problem?

Did you check the audio button when in a call? There is an option to select Bluetooth, iPhone or speaker. It's only an option when connected to Bluetooth.

Well on the other side of the glass, at least they will work on it and fix it.

I remember IOS 7 had many issues before and 7.1 fixed majority and now the latest version doesn't seem to have any issues that were unexpected.

End of the day, we are the real testers, anyone who upgrades immediacy should expect this now, with millions over 100 million running iSO 8 it is clear issues then appear and will be fixed. This is why IOS x.1 is released within the month.

Remember also Android had issues like this and it took them, oh 2 years to fix?

Android cannot create fixed patches that quick as each one has to be deigned for each device before release.

Windows I have no current experience. Samsung s4 here running latest Android system and is still buggy as hell, prefer my iPhone 5 on iOS 7. iOs 8 will get there I have no doubt.

I updated my iPad to 8.0.1. It didn't fix the buggy wifi

Thats the one real annoyance I have with 8. My iPad Air keeps losing the wifi connection. Shows as having a full signal but wont connect. Have to turn off Wifi and back on for it to reconnect.

Hopefully the newer release of 8.0.1 will have a fix when its released.

I'm convinced Apple only decide to ship new software as soon as they find a wifi bug. Is it really that hard?

UPDATE: restoration from last backup ( that was done automatically before upgrade on itunes ) has solved the issue.

Spotlight now functioning again on all pre-update messages

This is pissing me off now. Spotlight refuses to function on messages older that today. WTF is going on here ?????

Did you update to 8.0.1? Buggy bluetooth is one of the problems associated with the update released yesterday.

No it's on iOS 8.

Also I had Bluetooth selected as my output method.

You say you can access all photos in viber. Any chance you would take a screenshot and upload it?

Seems to be sorted now with 8.0.2 update. Now when I click + to add & then choose from gallery I get 'photos' which gives the full screen of photos & video thumbnails as before.

Anybody else having an issue with screen brightness, it just randomly goes to max from time to time happening now with my iPhone 6 and it's been happening since release day of iOS 8 on my iPad Air.

Is auto-brightness enabled?
