Not sure if it's just me, but recently, when I buy apps on my iPhone, I am occasionally prompted to type in my password. This also happened once when I wanted to unlock my phone via touch-ID. The message says that my iPhone was recently restarted (though I am aware of any such occurrence). 
Update: And my iPhone just spontaneously rebooted itself even though it was in sleep mode. Right on the table in front of me. Caught in the act! Guess I know why now.

It does sometimes .. On my phone#.. But it reloads again so it changes back to normal portrait..
You might want to get it replaced, especially if you see blue screens. My 5s started rebooting periodically when I was charging it about a month after I got it. I had it replaced and never had the problem again.
No blue screens yet. Just the white apple logo showing on the screen.
I am not sure I can get it replaced even if I wanted to. There is no Apple Store in my country, though each Telco has their own service centre, and when I brought it for checking last month, the staff there told me that they could only send it back to Apple for servicing for battery problems. Random reboots like what I just experienced would be very hard to prove and replicate at the scene.
Thanks for the advice though, I will be sure to keep it in mind if I do see any blue screens.
Privacy data still in Spotlight on iOS 8.1.1
When I use spotlight for various searches, it shows email messages which I have already deleted. Although when you select them it takes you to the folder the message was originally stored in, but the message is not there.
The messages are not in any trash folder or deleted messages folder either on the iPhone (iPad) itself or on the server (using iCloud mail).
There are also a number of messages which can be read (indicated by a blue dot) - these seem to be ones that I have written or started to write, but not actually sent (could have been saved as a draft - but again nothing in the draft folders). You get taken to and can read the full email from being selected in spotlight, but is not stored anywhere in my mail folders.
I'm running the latest version of iOS 8.1.1.
Devices are fully restored (DFU) without any apps or data. No old copies are used. But when I start using devices, new deleted emails starting to appear in Spotlight search (forwarding emails are 100% saving and can be opened with text and pictures attached).
Problem persist in iOS from 2009. Turning of search for mail and sms is not the fix of such security bug.
Is there anyway to either reset the spotlight cache, or delete the cache to remove all these "deleted" emails from spotlight, without restoring each time. I have searched many forums, but to no avail. I need to buy cleaning app for PC?

It depends on what causes them. In my case there were kernel panic errors in the diagnostic screen, which is now under the Privacy settings. Without an Apple Store nearby, that might not be useful, though if you can call Apple they can run a remote diagnostic of the phone.

My understanding of spotlight search is that it periodically goes through all your data and caches it so searches can be done in real time. I don't know how often it does so, but the deleted emails should be removed within a day or two I would think.
My iPhone 5s running 8.1.1 is playing the wrong email notification most of the time. I have different email notification sounds for my personal account, work account and VIP account and many times the wrong sound plays.
It plays the notification sound based on the previously received email and not the current one. For example if the last email I received was to my work email address and I then receive an email on my personal email from a VIP contact, it plays my work email notification sound.
Edit: Rebooted my iphone and it's working correctly again, but this problem crops up periodically.

Several of my stored contacts have quit displaying their name in the "Recents" section and "Messages". Instead they show the phone number as if they aren't stored. It's the weirdest thing. Some show a phone number while other's show the name as they are supposed to. I wasn't sure where exactly to post this as I don't know if this an iPhone 6 Plus issue or iOS 8. I currently have the the most recent iOS update. Maybe someone else can chime in? Thanks.

How come nobody tests this stuff? Are there any iOS engineers at Cupertino? Do the execs use Android phones?? At launch, Tim Cook said that he'd owned an iPhone 6 and 6+ "for months" - did he not use them?? I've found a TON of bugs in iOS8 after owning my 6+ for 72 hours.
Unhappy !! On my Ipad 2.
Now with new and " improved" ios8.1.1,
my emails load okay but take quite a bit longer to display.
Is this a plot to get me to spring for a newer version? I think not!!
I sometimes get some sort of magnifier which I don't need, thank God. It compresses the display making it hard to read
On FaceBook, when I 'comment' on another's post, I have to scroll down to the comment box in order to edit my comment; Because part way through every comment my cursor jumps to the front end, often mid-word and suddenly I'm about to post gobbledegook!
On FaceBook, I also have difficulty getting the edit function to respond. If I do wish to, it often takes several attempts, as in 4, 5, 6 or more to finally be allowed to begin editting my comment.
Sometimes it's just easier to give up 'edit' and post a correction.
Almost forgot to add, the bookmark/reading list function is balky. It seems to require several pokes of the appropriate button to generate the desired effect!

New iphone 6 setup did NOT restore correctly the first time, only partially restored. Then the upgrade to 8.1.1 completely wiped out the few photos that had been restored from icloud.
Had to completely wipe the phone and do another restore before phone was back to perfect shape. This happened with 2 of my phones.
No issues with the ipad Air 2 setup.

iOS 8 has been a clusterf**k of bugs and errors.
Just what are Federighi and Ive doing when undertaking this so-called "amazing collaboration". The software is a joke.

Does 8.1.2 fix the problem that the keyboard is not showing in spotlight search (when a 3rd party keyboard is installed)?
when you haven't played a podcast for a while it stops refreshing. Even if you have it in My Stations. You have to go into My Podcasts, into the podcast and tap the resume button. Surely because I have it in My Stations when I refresh from there it should reload the new ones.
Message Freezing
Running into this daily since the 8.1.2 upgrade.
I will be replying to or viewing various message threads when it will lock the message thread I am in. I can exit most of them back to the "Messages" screen but the symptom will not go away until I kill the app from the task bar. This seems to happen more frequently for threads that have pictures and occurs whether I have iMessage on or off.
Device is iPhone 6Plus 64GB on AT&T

This has now happened to me several times. I would download an entire playlist and it would work fine for some time. Then randomly one day it just scrolls through all the songs and they now show to no longer be on the device.
Also, at one point all of my music showed up 3x....2 of which were missing album art and seemed incomplete.
In my experience, iTunes Match has been completely borked since the release of iOS 8. Before 8.1.1 I couldn't even get most of the song downloads to complete.
I've been noticing some things:
Several crashes in iTunes with 8.1.2 (same as 8.1.1.)
with 8.1.1 and 8.1.2 I've had to factory restore my phone in order for Yahoo mail to push new mail to me several times. After the restore, Yahoo still will not load folders full of mail whether I am on WiFi, Celluar or Lite. Yesterday was the most recent time I had do a complete erase because the home / power button reboot did nothing.
Also the SD movies purchased in iTunes sound very low on half volume.
If the crashes and email business keep happening, I am taking this phone to a genius.
