no. When you upgraded, an auto backup would have taken place. Just go to restore from backup and chose the time stamped backup that corresponds to the same time you upgraded iOS.

How the heck is someone supposed to know to do this to get a feature working. Woeful from Apple.

Ive had iOS now for 2 days, i'll have to backup and restore again.

If you're on iPhone 4S, iPad 2, iPod touch 5th gen, or iPad mini; do not update to iOS 8 yet, opening apps is slower compared to iOS 7.1. I'd say wait a couple of months first, unless there are iOS 8 specific features which you absolutely want to use. It's not as bad as iPhone 4 on iOS 7, but there is a noticeable difference after updating to iOS 8 on those A5 devices.

This is simply not true. The 4 and 4S in our office are working absolutely fine.

You are not supposed to know to do this. It's a bug. Wait for it to be fixed in an future update.

And on mine. But people are reporting it so it must be issue with some devices. There's probably an easier way of getting it to work again without restoring that no one has figured out yet. If it was me I'd have exhausted every possibility but restoring is often the simplest solution.

Working fine doesn't mean they're working as efficiently as before. A quick Google search with 'iPhone 4S iOS 8' and you'll find several websites listing the issues. Of course, if you only use your devices for phone calls, web browsing or checking emails, it doesn't really make a difference what iOS version you're using.

I know it's a bug. Hence the woeful comment.

The 'Battery Usage' thing is kind of useless don't you think. Surprisingly the apps I use the most are the ones that have used up the most battery.

I don't buy this. We use the phones for every conceivable use and I've seen them perform as well as they did before the upgrade.
When you search the web you find claims of problems for every possible issue. People have problems with 5s with 4s and soon it'll be 6s. It means nothing much.

I know several other people who experienced severe slowdowns with iOS 7 on the iPhone 4. iOS 7.1 improved things to some extent, one of my friends said that she "doesn't hate her phone anymore" since she installed 7.1, and it was even mentioned in the changelog for 7.1.

It also points out apps that are running in the background or using location services. It's a handy picture of your overall app usage. Although I think it would be more useful if the app usage was from the last full charge rather than the last 24 hours.

Is there a way of turning off 3G ? I managed to get an hour out of my iPhone 5 on the way home from work, would be great to get more than this.

Worth remembring that Apple's servers will be taking a hammering over the next few days as people set up their new phones and do iCloud restores, etc.

I downloaded the IPSW for iOS 8 and did a shift+restore. Took several attempts to get the file and had to pause and resume it on several occasions to keep it moving. Got there in the end.

Upgraded today.

All messaging apps like whatsapp, Viber etc are now borked for sending any photos or videos that aren't recent. Bit pissed off with that as it takes away a lot of the good that was in the upgrade.

That's not normal. Try doing a restore.
