8.0.2 murdered iPhone plus

[zyr123]

Wifi is now epicly slow and Touch ID doesn't work. And iMessage is not registering my number.

Reset network settings and see if it helps.

This is why I'm waiting for 8.1. Had 8.0 since launch day, and apart from some minor bugs, the actual OS is quite stable. It seems the 8.0.2 problems only affect a relatively small number of people, but I'd rather not take my chances.

 

[zyr123]

Tried everything. This was just a for warning for other iPhone plus owners

Even a restore of a clean phone? Seems that should fix anything software wise.

Absolutely nothing wrong with my Plus. The next software upgrade includes Apple Pay. I do not need the update for performance purposes.

 

[wargamer6]

Works fine for me.

I tried multiple restores.

I tried multiple restores.

Restore and used your old backup?

 

[zyr123]

Yeah. Every kind of restore possible.

 

[MassiveAttack]

Mine is working fine.

8.0.2 works fine on my 6 plus.
Touch ID works and no problems with imessages at all.

Is take it back then. If a completely clean restore didn't work it could be hardware related. I have not seen this commonly reported with 8.0.2.

 

[famoussasjohn]

Did it work previously?

 

[zyr123]

When on 8.0.0 it was perfect

Same here. 8.0 is working for what I need so I'm sticking with it till the major 8.1 comes along..

It almost certainly wasn't the update itself that caused the issue. You should take the phone to Apple and see about getting it replaced.

If this was a widespread issue, there'd be an 8.0.2-gate thread dozens of pages long. Perhaps the update merely exposed a defect in your phone.

One last thought: Have you tried restoring it as new from iTunes, rather than through the phone? iPhone 6/6 Plus users who updated to 8.0.1 via iTunes didn't encounter the same issues that OTA updaters did.

When stuff like this s happens it's usually the phone communicating with the router. Software related on the phone for your router. Try different bands in you wifi too. I get the same wifi throughput on my 6 plus as my Galaxy S4.

 

[zyr123]

Tried through lte and wifi. No difference

Maybe try DFU right store.
I am seeing a wifi glitch on 8.0.2, it loses wifi every couple of days. Turning phone off then on sorts it out. My wifi AP is the latest extrem and the plus the is on ac.

8.0.2 seems more stable than 8.0, and it enables Healthkit apps to work. Overall, it seems pretty stable to me.
