Apple Releases iOS 8.0.2 With Fix for Cellular Issues, Broken Touch ID

No issues thus far. It looks like Apple really did fix some of the keyboard issues. (And I mean the default keyboard issues)

And I think that my iPad 3 may be running slightly better.

Of course it was a trouble for the 40000 and my deepest sympathies for the issues they faced. But cmon give the company a break. I work in s/w development. **** Happens and I can bet quite a few developers did not go home yesterday and they fixed it today.

All I am saying is it does not warrant this:

Its like iPhone bending gone haywire. Its metal and if you apply enough force it will bend. Will it bend on normal use - probably not unless u sit ur ass on it or try to do something ridiculous. Basically things get overblown but if you put it in perspective AAPL ytday screwed up and it affected ~.004% owners. That %age is way less than the number of people who would go without food today. One day without phone would not have killed anybody. Hope those 40000 did better things like spend more time with friends and family in the past 24 hours :)

OMG...really. You work in software programming? Then you know about QA and you know about testing. You know about testing in a Dev environment not Prod!
Then Apple is not exactly some fly by night start up software company......
No matter how you try to rationalize it.........for a company that PRIDES itself on the user experience........it should not have happened. But they rushed out a fix for bugs in their initial release of IOS8.

Weren't 8.0.1 and 8.0.2 supposed to make it so that third party keyboards can be used when entering the passcode or when quick replying from the lock screen? It's still not letting me do that

Since when?

And things like passcodes and passwords are specifically designed to be entered by Apple's native keyboard for added security.

So I dig out a Time Machine backup thinking I may still have the .ipa files - and low and behold there they are (thanks Time Machine!) I restore them over my network (2 hours....) after 2 hours is up I restore to 8.0 for the 4th time today, do my touch ID for the forth time today, enter my e-mail passwords, my iCloud passwords, my iTunes passwords, my keychain code, my Facebook password, my twitter password zzzz (I wish it remembered all these from the restore just by entering one password to load them all back up!)

Not that this is any help to you now, but if you had previously taken an encrypted backup in iTunes to restore from, it would have also saved and restored all your passwords.

I understand not entering the passcode with it but it'd be nice to quick reply with Swype from the lock screen. I probably send half my texts that way
 
iPhone 6 128G update from 8.0 to 8.0.2 OTA. All good on Australian Optus network.
 
UPDATE: iP6+ works again after restore thru iMac

FYI, my iPhone 6 plus works again after restoring via iMac directly
The carrier update window popup on the iMac screen shortly after iPhone restarted

OTA didn't work but all is fine now
 
Whew! Success on and iPhone 4s.
I was going to try to download the 60mb update via iTunes using hotspot in my remote location but it wanted to download a 1.6GB file!
And the OTA update wanted wifi so I connected my computer to the hotspot and shared that connection to airport then on my phone connected to my computer's wireless network and then I could download a 60 mb update.
This is way to complicated for the average joe. The OTA updates needs to be simplified for folks like me in remote areas.

I'm wondering how it performs on iPad 3. Does closing apps still has choppy animation? How about animation for switching between apps by using app switcher? Also, in-app performances?

Hope someone can let us know about the three questions above. Thanks.
 
Had some issues with wifi, a few resets and it's all good. Still getting lots of Facebook crashes, but that's been going on for ages and I use it as a sign to log off.
 
iPhone 6 Plus and iPad Air working after iOS 8.0.2 update!

Just wanted to report that I never updated to iOS 8.0.1 so I went from iOS 8 straight to iOS 8.0.2. I updated an iPhone 6 Plus (AT&T) and an iPad Air (Wi-Fi only) to iOS 8.0.2 and am happy to report that Touch ID and cellular service still work on the iPhone 6 Plus and Wi-Fi works on both the iPhone 6 Plus and the iPad Air.

Great. You are the third person to say it worked after retrying from iTunes. This is starting to sound like the issues(the legimate ones,not fake ones posted by apple haters, samsung shills, etc) are installation gone wrong somehow, and not a 8.0.2 problem specifically.
 
Update from 8.0->8.0.2 Good through iTunes for iPhone6, iPhone5S and iPod 5Gen.

Unfortunately I am see that any individual app updates on ALL three of these devices are installing but remain showing under "Available Updates" with Open rather than Update and don't seem to be going away and also keeps badge count the same.

I heard reports of this previously and they usually clear themselves up but wanted to know if anyone else is seeing the same behavior.
 
No updates for me for a month or so. I was one of yesterday's iPhone 6 casualties. #. What an ordeal. I want those 4 hours back Apple. Hmmm, I just realized how very often I've said those words over the last decade. I must be a masichist for buying this 6. Swore time and again I was done with Apple then ran right out and bought it. What's up with that? Just too lazy to learn another device I guess.
My WiFi has been speedy and steady here at home but won't find WiFi networks at all when out and about. ## Battery life is definitely much worse than my old 4S, however, with Safari being the big hog at 51%. Probably from reading all these posts because I've certainly turned off every feature. I'm quite unimpressed with this A8 chip. It's noticeably quite sluggish comparatively on many levels.
