Apple Releases iOS 8.0.1 With Fixes for HealthKit, Keyboards, and More [WARNING: iOS 8.0.1 Causing Issues With Cell Service, Touch ID]

[Cougarcat]

Well, looks like it's a good thing my iPhone couldn't connect to the update servers...

 

[C DM]

Does anyone an AT&T or Verizon actually have working service after the update?

Yeah, my signal is there just as it was before. iPhone 5 on Verizon.

 

[Bahroo]

AT&T 6. No Service!

Hard reset if you are having issues

I guess I'm a bit more cynical...shouldn't these things have been in the original 8.0 release? Why did the process break down so badly that made it necessary to release an update so soon after a major release?

The iOS 8 release is tied to the iPhone 6 release (they cannot release the iPhone 6 without iOS 8, it requires it). And hardware launches have a much more fixed time schedule. In this case it was even tied to the iPhone 6 event (Apple normally presents a new iPhone on a Tuesday, then gives out review units with an embargo for the following Wednesday and then launch the phone on the Friday after that, ie, 10 days after its public reveal). And that event itself needed advanced planning, from inviting people, scheduling U2, reserving the venue etc. The iOS 8 release date was probably decided upon at least one month in advance.

Don't update. No service after install. Verizon iP6.

 

[snowcrash]

Also no service and broken Touch ID.
iPhone 6 Plus AT&T

 

[jbachandouris]

Anyone having TouchID issues after the update? I can only unlock with the passcode.

Almost everyone!

 

[wlossw]

i just came here to moan that I lost my signal... stuck on searching and touch id is not working... iphone 6 on rogers..

 

[troop231]

No service on Verizon.

 

[JAT]

Great! This should also fix the bending problem too, right?

Nope. As usual, the only solution to that is to take phones away from morons.

 

[xlost6]

I can't even "Check for update". It's not letting me get past that screen.

 

[GSF]

Yeah same thing here "No Service" hopefully they fix it. It scared the **** out of me!

 

[Ludatyk]

With all these issues.. Apple needs to push 8.0.2 in seconds!

 

[torturegarden]

If you download the 'My Roll' app you can pretty much replicate it.

That said, I doubt Apple will bring it back. The functionality really is duplicated in other areas.

I might try it in the future but I shouldn't have to download an app to provide basic functionality that has always been there. I filled out the online bug report form and emailed Tim Cook and Craig Federighi.

 

[mshwoodley]

Good signal here in Bermuda -- DIGICEL!!!!! Baby!

 

[iParis]

Soooo glad I didn't update yet! D: I guess they'll either be releasing an 8.0.2 in a few hours rereleasing 8.0.1 with a different build.

 

[bigandtasty]

Nice Job Apple, thanks for busting out a much needed update so quickly.

Just the little things like Cell service we need now. Thanks!

 

[Am3r1ca16]

whoa! good thing i came here before updating.

thanks guinea pigs.

 

[Cyberius11]

Well this is fantastic. My phone has no service now.

 

[sniffies]

"No service" ......

Same here. WTH??

 

[Dany M]

This is hysterical

 

[penajmz]

You have got to be **********g kidding me!!!!

 

[iolinux333]

Even Apple may not be able to solve the problem of a 200 pound butt pressing down on a piece of thin metal.

You are seriously underestimating American girthity. Maybe that's one if the core reasons for buttgate. Most people in Silicon Valley are pretty healthy and slim. It wouldn't surprise me if the Average Apple Cupertino Employee has no idea what the Average American looks like these days.

 

[tyasjs]

This year around, it seems like the iOS updates take longer to download and install! I seemed like it use to be quicker than this.

*waits patiently*

 

[Roygen]

apple come on!!! no cell service too lol
