iOS 8.0.1 has just killed my cellular connectivity

[BlueJ85]

Verizon iPhone 6 no Touch ID or service. Man why did I update so quickly!

Out of total curiosity, as I wait for my only chat person to scramble to find out what's going on, does anyone know if Apple's chat support people are US based like their phone support? Or are they outsources somewhere?

I thought they were US based

iPhone 6 or lower>?

Yes. 5S.

 

[antiprotest]

This is Apple punishing people for talking about the iPhone bending.

 

[gabo864]

is this happening only with the iPhone 6 or also with iPhone 5 and 5s?

 

[batting1000]

Apparently mostly 6 and 6 Plus users

Wondering if I should try this on my 5S on Verizon. I'm on 7.1.2 now and don't wanna update in case they stop signing it. Most people don't know how to roll back n

No problem here with 5S

Great, now I have a 4.7" iPod Touch.

Ok, calm down people. It happened to me too, but obviously something got messed up that they weren't planning on. You know they'll fix it soon as they can.

 

[gabo864]

has anybody tried calling verizon or ATT? I wonder if there is a way they can fix this! I'm talking to Applecare support, but he's checking on it right now!

 

[marlman]

Just stopped mine on install later!

Is this just a US thing or is it safe here in the UK?

 

[Trebuin]

I can understand the cell not working if the serial is no longer broadcasting, but not the touch. Hopefully Apple fixes this soon. I've learned that Apple does not have a decent beta tester group to check these things out beforehand. We are the beta testers. In all honesty, this would be an alpha release as it is clearly not functional.

OMG you just made my day with your comment! bahahahah

This issue started happening to me yesterday, without an update. iPhone 5S. Was losing cellular connectivity left and right. Wonder if there was an existing problem that the 8.0.1 update aggravated

 

[FatPuppy]

Bros, don't worry, "iOS 8 is still in beta"

 

[Rhyst21]

What can be done about this now guys? Can we revert back to 8.0 somehow or just have to wait for apple to fix?

Well I have a 5.5" iPad Touch.
This sucks!

 

[bobright]

Will OTA updates update automatically? If so do I need to turn it off somewhere? I don't think mine updated yet.

Apple is still signing iOS 8.0 so if this problem has impacted you, you can restore the firmware to 8.0 and then restore your data from a recent backup.

Download the 8.0 firmware from here, then option-click on the Restore button in iTunes and select the ipsw that you downloaded.

 

[SidBoggle]

iphone 6+ in the UK on O2 - service and touchid dead. Unbelievable cock up.

I rushed to do this update hoping it would fix my safari performance problems and icloud keychain issues (on the up side, both these issues seem fixed).

Holy Mother Of God ....
Apple has just bricked thier flagship product ....

No 4G service=No communication.
No TouchID=You can't even use it, period, because you can't access it.
It's, quite literally, bricked.

Biggest f-up in mobile computer history, FFS.
Thank God I just happened to click on this topic by accident.
My iPaf Air is staying a mile away from iOS 8.0.1

I truly & honestly feel for you guys, I swear.
What if an incident happens & someone can't connect with emergency services?
Mega class action lawsuit coming.
Thanks, Tim.

Well done Apple. Well done.

Same here, using a Vodafone iPhone 6 (Spain).

 

[WhartoX]

iPhone 6 Plus on AT&T updated to 8.0.1 and no Cell Service. Come on Apple
