If by, "this issue", you mean the audio playback widget appearing on the Lock Screen, and indicating that it's in Play mode, but not actually playing anything, and not responding to taps to Pause, then: yes, I've had this since iOS 7 with at least two apps, though it usually (always?) has the name of the app above it.

exactly that, except i don't even get the name of the app it's supposedly playing from
 
iMessage isn't working for me anymore. It's just stuck in the "Waiting for activation..." state. I tried resetting the phone, the network settings, I turned it on and off like a hundred times, still nothing.

Is there any fix or I should wait for Apple to come up with one?

How did it stop working if it was working before?
 
The "waiting for activation" message appeared as soon as I upgraded to 8.2. It was working prior to upgrading.
 
So it doesn't look "safe" yet to upgrade to 8.2...?

Will they go straight to 8.3, I wonder?
