iOS 8 problems? (5s)

    Installed iOS8 when it came out (48hrs ago?) and since it seems my iPhone 5s has 2 problems;
    It seems to "eat" data; 65mb since this morning with only light browsing (no video) and some news apps (with "load images" set to off while on cellular). No new apps installed. 65mb doesn't seem much, but I'm roaming on a 100mb daily limit (which I normally never reach).
    2nd problem is the battery is down to 4% (from full this morning @5am) phone has been on flightmode for at least 4hrs as well....
    Reset done (twice) background app refresh off. Can't restore as not near pc.
    Anyone? Did any settings change automatically with iOS 8?

    It does sound like you need to do a restore. You could try the reset all content and settings options and don't bother with an iCloud restore if you're short on data.

    Was thinking that too, probably will do restore when I get back home.
    May have found reason for the data usage, seems icloud drive has "use mobile data" set on by default (fairly sure I had that off before) so documents and data were being transferred on 3G (may account for some battery usage too).

    Today I've been having a strange problem...I can't make calls! As In, I'm going into contacts...into the person...pressing the number...then nothing happens. Restored phone and it fixes itself...but it's VERY buggy

    I was having a few issues with iOS 8 on my 64GB 5S and just decided to downgrade back to 7.1.2 for the time being. It's still possible but may not be for much longer.
