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

My experience thus far...

I did not install 8.0.1 on my iPhone 6 or iPad Mini Retina. I tethered my iPad and ran the update to 8.0.2 So far, no issues. I ran the OTA update on my iPhone 6. I have turned it off and on a few times. I have no connectivity issues at this time. I am currently using my iPhone 6 as a hotspot for my MBP. My service provider is T-Mobile. Bandwidth tests show 15 Mbps up and 2 Mbps down. I do not know if all this information will help anyone, but there it is.
 
Well I finally bit the bullet and it's updating right now. Fingers and toes crossed.. Please let this work, don't have another day for screwing around with this!!
 
Scrolling in certain apps can be finicky on my 6+ 8.0.2. Noticed this so far in Facebook and Clock (setting a timer) app. I haven't tested it with any other apps but Safari scrolling appears to work fine.

I'm still on 8.0 and scared to update any further; not trusting it.

I'm with you, have a 6 and am sitting tight with 8.0.0...it runs fine...unless I run into a deal-breaking issue, I'm going to wait a while - and let Apple get their patch quality control process in line.

As one of Apples victims yesterday, we've been patiently giving the company a break for decades. In what decade will they put function over form I ask? It's always another workaround or another prayer for a fix with this company.

Well you can always switch to alternative platforms out there.
 
updating now... I feel like Carl Spackler in Caddyshack.. ;) "It's in the hole! It's in the hole! It's in the hole!"

______________

Warning, This release contains improvements and bug fixes, and more bugs..
 
Whew, done deal and all went well. My 6 took this one with no issues and is running smoothly. 6 - 64gb with AT&T.. TouchID, calls, texts, etc are all fine and the phone is running this update smoothly!!

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 :mad:

Same here! WTF Apple.

iPhone 6 64GB ATT.
 
I plan to sit tight and just wait this out. My phone is working fine right now and I have no reason to update until I know all of these issues are ironed out.

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.

Of course they screwed up. No denying that. It should probably have been more thoroughly tested as beta before GA. And yes the brand, quality and reliability is wht customers pay for. In fact lately there have been quite a few non apple standard moves from Apple. May be it's because they are trying to do more things at once. All I wanted to highlight is apart from QA Apple PR could also do a better job at communicating than saying only 9 bent phones or 40000 bricked devices. Trolls just love that kind of news #

Jezus... Go buy that Z3. And never receive an update. I've had lots of Sony stuff in earlier years, like several VAIO's and the early phones, and they never received an update. Well, if Apple would stick to the same firmware/iOS as the device came with, nobody would have any bugs either. That would be easy?! And nobody is forcing you to update. Stay on iOS7 or 6 or whatever, and you would never experience an issue. It's like comparing apple's and oranges....

But because Apple is still providing iOS updates to devices which are already 4 years old (4S), there are likely to be bugs. Accept it. They are always resolved. And the ones which aren't, is likely because everybody is complaining on forums like this, and not reporting it to Apple (www.apple.com/feedback).

If you are an early adopter, accept the possible consequence. If you had wait a week (who-oo-oooo), and then updated, no bugs would have been yours...

I love the these comments about how Apple support 4 year old products,

I should think they can, it is basically the same product as the one available today!
 
To those with data missing in Health: mine just miraculously re-appeared after showing zeroes for past activity since the update. Not sure what caused it, but here's what I did in the last hour or so:

a) Went into individual data points, deleted one of the earlier ones that weren't displaying

b) updated RunKeeper and ran it, giving it access to my health data

After this, my steps data did not display at all until I changed the view a few times, and then - voila - I got my past days' data back, and it is displaying inside Health app correctly. This is quite odd.
 
My iphone 4S was stuck at apple logo at updating to 802, tried some tools to kick it out of recovery but nothing worked.

So finally just restored it to 802 iOS downloaded from web, which eventually blanked out my iphone and installed a fresh OS. Will be restoring the data from iCloud once i get on to my home wifi.

So for whole day i had nice gadget that only displayed :apple:
 
Applied to an iPhone 6 that was zapped by 8.0.1, "updated" back to 8.0 and restored. No issues with 8.0.2 update.

I will probably do a full wipe and restore when 8.0.3 is released, just to clean up this whole mess.

And also Health data.

I've been working with Apple since Monday on this,

HEALTH DATA IS NOT CURRENTLY STORED ON ICLOUD, IF YOU RESTORE BACK FROM THAT YOU WILL LOOSE ALL YOUR HEALTH DATA.

Working with a senior iOS engineer, waiting on a update from their team on this matter.

There's actually a rule that third party developers can't store HealthKit data on iCloud either. I am guessing apple doesn't want someone starting a *****torm by claiming apple can access all your private health data. Of course encrypting it with a key unknown to Apple would solve this, but the paranoid idiots who post here would still accuse Apple of secretly having the key (see other threads).

I wrote my own app to backup and restore HealthKit data I care about, but Apple would never permit it in the App Store.
