This happened to me when initially setting up my iPhone 6 with a previous backup stored on my computer. I had to manually pull the plug and plug it back in multiple times until it finally transferred everything.
Is 7.1.2 still being signed by Apple? I am looking to buy a 5s off eBay and it looks like most sellers have updated to 8.0 but i'd prefer to run 7.1.2
Idiotic fanboy comments like this make my head hurt. Apple is no better than anyone else in this regard, they've been known to take MONTHS to even awknowledge they have an issue. This is actually one of the few times they admitted to issues right away and issued a fast update.
I agree
I've been using iOS Betas since 2010 and iOS 8 since its first Beta release.
I've had no major issues, and any little glitches were fixed each time with the following beta updates.
That's the great thing with Apple, they do update when needed to fix issues, they aren't like Android. Nor does Apple have to try to update tons of different manufacturer's fragmented systems.
From what have seen is, Apple always trying to better user experience. There is frequent updates after a new iOS release, it's part of the process to perfect it in world wide use.
IMO no one does it better then Apple with their commitment to getting it just right! I have seen this with Apple for many years, especially since the first iPhone!
I'm sure an update will be here ASAP to address any widespread issue!

really hope they are swift in releasing this first update. iOS 8 definitely could use some polishing
MAJOR problems with keyboard...
Sometimes it disappears. Sometimes adding back the standard one works; sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes Swype will not show on quick reply; sometimes it does. Sometimes there's just a blank place where a keyboard SHOULD pop up. Sometimes you're typing and it's not going anywhere... Sometimes hiding the keyboard & then popping it back up again works; sometimes you have to close out of messaging, then reopen it.
I'd like to see this addressed. Probably a joint issue with Apple & Swype.

What's your solution? They should stop at 8.0 around Aug 31, and then not work on iOS until Oct 1 after receiving bug reports?
Your comment doesn't make much sense. Software has bugs. Companies generally try to fix them. It's a continuous process. You can call this an excuse if you want, but it's the reality of software.
So far, I'm a lot happier with iOS 8.0 than I was with 6.0 or 7.0. There was a disaster for my wife's iPad2 with 6.0 wifi (I think it was 6), and 7.0 was ssssllllllooooooooooowwwwwwww. I'm sure other people have different experiences, though.
I don't even know what people are talking about with wifi. My 5 was just fine on 8.0, and my new 6 seems faster here at work than any other devices have been. I just got the 6, though, maybe I'll see some of the reported problems.
I'm running 8 on my 5S. No problems at all on there actually, very sleek and smooth...on my iPad 4 however I have experienced a Safari crash or two. I echo the third-party keyboard issues though; both QuickType and Swype are poor so far and make me rush back to the stock keyboard... don't know whether they are running into inherent bugs in 8 or what, but for me that integration is not at all polished, whether it's more the fault of 8 or those keyboard developers.
No fix for bluetooth gamepads ?

According to this chart I always refer to, it is:

But you'd better act fast. They don't usually leave two major versions open for very long.
Messages is the worst for me. Every single time I rotate into landscape the screen flickers to black and then the keyboard vanishes for a second.
Yes. I've seen that a couple of times. It's all over pretty quickly but... I've got a sneaky suspicion that the white glitch is your finger, and the phone's camera is briefly getting involved with the display!
