iOS 8 Users Seeing Issues With Battery Drain, Slow Wi-Fi

^LOL

I would recommend changing your wireless router from WEP to WPA2. I have seen this recommended a couple times and this is what finally solved the slow wifi on my 6 Plus. My MacBook Pro and iPad Air running iOS 8 had no wireless issues, only the phone.

Reset Network Settings - FAIL
Disable Location Services Wifi - FAIL
Router setting WEP to WPA2 - SUCCESS

Now pull over 20Mbps!

sorry for such a late reply

everything else works fine and I believe I haven't used WEP since the late 90's or early 2000 but thanks for your help and suggestion

I'm sorry.

I was actually referring to your grammar, syntax and ridiculous conclusions.

Hows that update working. Lol

Just fine. Thanks for asking.

Things aren't bad, a few users are affected. Other manufacturers have exactly the same complaints. No amount of beta testing can cover every single situation and combination of factors. When 20million+ people update it's inevitable that some will experience issues. The issues will be tracked down and fixed and in the meantime those affected can quickly restore their devices and wait for the fix. No issue here, it's really not that important. First. World. Problems.

And then iOS 8.0.1 happened.

Anyone else notice Safari on the new 6 is a battery hog? Just reading articles and the phone starts to heat and battery's gone in just a few hours. Yesterday my safari battery usage was 74% compared to everything else only in the single digits. On WiFi, no streaming, just reading with only a few screens running. I lost three battery percentage points just typing this. At that rate, I'm cooked in about 50 minutes.
