That's why I virtually never post here anymore. I lurk only to see when the proles have or fix problems. The forum members are nothing more than test mules to me.

I might find distaste at your lack of sympathy...but after reading this in an "evil guy that just revealed their plans to the audience" voice I just can't take it seriously. 😀

Well, and if I did I'd probably be somewhat of a hypocrit, so I better not do that.

Who's going first? I'm still restoring back to 8.0!!! What a day... 😡

Since I made the mistake of grabbing 8.01 as soon as it came out i've had the following missions...

Downloading the 2gb iPSW 8.0 restore file from Apple's battered servers for 18 hours, which kept timing out. Eventually find a link to a different Apple server on iClarified and grabbed it at full speed (which still took 2 hours to download on my connection)

And finally, finally, its spending 2 hours copying all the apps back off the computer (over lightning's USB2...sigh) and in the middle of that a tweet pops up "iOS 8.02 is released now" - FML

Should have just waited bro. Lolz!
 
Can't say I'm happy with my 3G reception. I lose 3G in places I used to have good reception while on iOS 7.
 
iOS 8.0.2

this update totally sucks it screwed up my phone it has Siri saying I don't understand. Then the the connect to iTunes screen pops up and iPhone must go into recovery mode. I've done this three times and it still saying connect to iTunes

FFS I've already installed the update now. Somebody should get a rocket up their arse for this fiasco.

Oh yes. Great. Don't complain about a company, their products and their services, because nobody forced you to buy anything from them.

You are the perfect customer!

"Service hotline here, how can I help you?"
"Well, I have this product here that doesn't work anymore even though I paid $1000 for it."
"That is too bad. You know, nobody forced you to buy our products, right?"
"Oh yes. Sorry"

How do the people whose phone got messed up benefit from the fact that some other company has similar problems?

Apple products are not cheap. The reason why I am usually happy with paying a premium for these products is that I expect premium quality for premium prices. So pointing to a company that does not ask premium prices for their products and saying "Look, it happens to the cheap manufacturers too. They are just like Apple and Apple is just like them!" actually does the opposite of what you are trying to achieve.

A free stab? I am sure his iPhone was not free.

I think the point is, %#&! happens sometimes, on every platform, with every category of purchase, at every price point.

Are you trying to advocate some kind of compensation is required? Do you think the 40,000 affected users should all file an international class action lawsuit? On what basis of damages?

I really don't get what you want or expect? You got a fix in one day, and you got detailed instructions on how to fix the issue temporarily so you could use your phone within a couple of hours. You also got an apology directly from the company.

Should really be end of story, right?

PS - Update working fine in Sweden on 2 iPad 2's, 1 iPad rMini, 1 iPad Air, 1 iPhone 5, and 1 iPhone 4S. No problems, iPad 2's noticeably smoother.

lost access to my camera

With 8.0, it seems that I lost access to the camera in my iPhone 5, and I was hoping that 802 was going to fix that, but it does not. Has anyone else lost access to their camera with iOS8?
 
The rumor that 8.0.2 screwed up Australia users is bunk. There is only 1 or 2 news story links if you Google it, and 8.0.2 has been out for 12 hours now. And I was reading that it was user error.

Some haters & fandroid people around here will say anything to stir things up; keep note of them:

Kind of a disaster for Apple, especially with it hammering their new iPhones.

Am I to believe that the 5's and older did not have any issues with 801? My iPod seems to be liking 8.

What about the iPads? Any issues with them and 8/801? I haven't heard any, and def don't want any.

Still think waiting it out is the best. Maybe until 804 comes out... 🙄😀😱:apple:
 
All good

Updated iOS 8.0.2 on iPad Air (Telstra), iPad mini with Regina display (Optus), iPhone 5s (Optus) and iPhone 6 (Telstra). No issue found

... I think I read the problems have mainly been with people on EE.

Not for me. My 6+ is on EE and I went from 8.0 to 8.0.2 via the OTA update about two hours ago. All worked perfectly right from the start. No voice or data issues whatsoever. 😎

Given the quality issues with 8 and 801, I'm wondering if someone currently working at Apple will be looking for a job with Goggle/Android developers soon.

You really have to wonder... Really? The update kills the new phones? Was it even tested... On the new phones...

I mean, the old adage about nothing testing like shipping a product is true, but this is a 'Wow, it's that bad, and it survived 'testing' and QA? Did they test it on a brick?'
 
Stated file size to download: 72MB

Required free space to install: 1.5GB

WTF...! That's over twenty times more for chrissakes. 🙄 Apple's patching process is completely screwed-up and very bothersome for people with smaller capacity devices. They're shooting themselves in the foot here, they will want people to upgrade, for the security fixes if not for the additional functionality and bug fixes, but by making it difficult for people they ensure fewer people will actually do it.

That's stupid. There's literally no reason they need so much free space just to patch the OS.
 
My iP6 was suddenly super buggy yesterday: couldn't edit photos; photos took over an hour after taking them to show up; photos I deleted from the cloud days ago were suddenly back; major lag when typing; apps crashing constantly.

I was still on 8.0 and all of those things had previously worked perfectly.

Just installed 8.0.2, hope everything goes back to working!
 
Just installed 8.0.2 OTA on to an iPhone 6 64GB, now its stuck with no mobile service and touch id doesn't work.

So much for 8.0.2 fixing 8.0.1 issues!

Done a reset network settings with no change.

Looking as to how to restore it to operation now 😡

No it's not stupid whatsoever

It's compressed into a package so it uses less of your data to download.

If you are worried about the size, just plug your iOS device into iTunes and it uses no storage whatsoever as the file is stored on iTunes/Mac or PC
 
I ju t do nlOa ed it and it in5tal1ed wit out a hitCh. N0t notic3d a y errors 5o far.

I th1nk t#is one !s 5afe to us3 guys. Go uck!

Except thats not the reason for it needing 20x the space - the package is not 1.5 GB compressed to 72 MB.
