8.0.2 has prevented me from taking a screenshot, it just locks the phone as if i only pressed the sleep/wake button. I have found a temporary fix in using the assistive touch but that is pretty freaking annoying considering everything else on the phone works fine
Annoying bugs I've encountered:
Touch ID when making purchases or installs requires you to press down on the button instead of just holding your finger on the button like the old days. Pretty sure this change wasn't intentional since it used to work just fine.
Launching a link into Safari from outside of Safari results in the page not responding to presses until you scroll down and back up for some weird reason.
Just two of the most annoying bugs among many others that hopefully will get ironed out.

App Download Issue in iOS 8
I had an issue syncing music to my iPhone 6. I used this fix:https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/1786762/
Since then, iTunes syncing works fine, but I have not been able to download apps from the App Store on my phone. If I click the price or the download button for those apps I've already purchased, the icon just spins, and it does not start downloading. I've changed wi-fi networks, turned wi-fi on and off, and restarted my phone. Apps do sync when I do it through it Tunes.
Any thoughts?

iOS 8.0 crashed my iPad and I had to restore and rebuild. It lost all my music and all my movies. After restoration, I installed 8.0.2, which let me keep my music, and my files in Pages and Numbers, but wiped out all movies (again) but one. Funny thing, with 8.0.2 I tried to view my movies, and got an error message telling me I could not view downloaded movies without a WiFi connection. That's when it wiped them out. I was able to keep one movie. Apple, you need to go back to the drawing board on this one. It's as bad as Windows 8. Or you need to make provisions to let us revert back to what we had before iOS 8.
Autocorrect in Safari with the bar is a pita also. Doesn't correct when you press or corrects the wrong word altogether.
And if you try posting a reply on the apple communities on iOS 8 safari on the iPad it goes from pretty awful say on these forums to laughably completely and utterly useless. Adds an extra capital letter at the start of a sentence and the spelling goes completely bonkers on apple's very own support forum - how ironically amusing!

My keyboard (3rd party and stock) will often disappear in Messages (both in the app and quick reply).
Sounds like you were viewing movies in the cloud not yet downloaded to your device.
It's always been that way with movies. They are too big a files to download over cellulR. Apple does it to save people huge costs from network providers. They're looking out for users.
Mine are working, but a forced reboot isn't a good thing to do unless you are experiencing a serious issue.
You are right. I saw thread like this one shortly after every major release, iOS 7 included (how many "my iDevice was fine with iOS 7..." I'm reading here?
).
Without the use of apps like Squaready, one way of making regular photos square without cropping content was the take a screenshot and crop that, like taking a screenshot of a portrait photo in landscape mode.
However, I ran into an issue on the iPhone 6 running iOS 8.0.2
Try this:
- Take a portrait photo and open it in the Photos app
- Turn your phone sideways to view it in landscape with black borders on the side (without menu options showing) and take a screenshot
- Turn your phone right side up and view the screenshot you just took
- Tap Edit, tap the Crop icon, then the aspect ratio icon, then choose Square
- Tap done
*You will notice that the edit didn't work, the screenshot will be back the way it was before the crop
- Now tap Edit again
Yep, the picture goes haywire and glitches out. If you do the same steps for a photo taken in landscape orientation everything works fine. Something goes wrong when you do it with a portrait photo.

...I can confirm that I get the same exact result as you, on my iPhone 6 on iOS 8.0.2.
After tapping 'Done' the edit does indeed, not work, and then when you tap 'Edit' again - the picture does indeed go a little weird and glitches out (I get the original image, with black lines at the sides and a white blank bar along the bottom?!?!?).
Hello, I have an iPad 2 and I have recently updated to the new iOS 8. What's happening now it's that on the top left corner where it shows the bar and the att signal it shows as no service at all. This is my second update that I have done on the iPad. I know people were having this issues with the iPhone 6 and now I'm having it with my iPad.
Has anyone seen this bug at all:
On my wife's iPhone 5 (not the 5S), when she first turns it on in the morning and BEFORE she enters her passcode for the very first time for the day, if there is a text waiting for her on her lockscreen, it will only display the number from where the text originated from, even though the number is stored as a named contact on her phone?
If she then unlocks her phone (by entering the passcode), if the same number then texts her during the day, it then displays correctly (the named contact) on her lockscreen.
Haven't seen this myself on my iPhone 6 but wondered if this issue is specific to the iPhone 5?

Using iPad Air... This is happening to me as well. If a YouTube video is embedded in the browser, it does not play no matter how many times I try to tap the play button. Doesn't seem to matter if it's a mobile version or desktop version of the page, neither one works. It's also happening in BOTH Safari and Chrome.
I'm also having issue in Safari with it not fully loading pages (mobile and desktop versions). It LOOKS like it's finished, but you can see the little gear in the top left still spinning like its trying to load. Happens on wifi and LTE network. And because it's not fully loading, if I do say a google search for something, and it pulls up several pages of links, Safari won't let me click any of the page links. It just sits there like the links don't work. However, if I stop Safari and reload the page, then the links work. *sigh*

My guess is that this is because all data, including contacts are now encrypted on the phone. Contacts can't be read after the phone is restarted until the PIN is entered, similar to how the phone can't join Wifi after a restart until it is unlocked once.

...ok, that kinda makes sense then. So my next question is, is this a feature or a bug as I don't recall the iPhone 5 doing this in iOS7?!
Blue line on sending emails in Mail on 5S. Even when sent the blue sending line at bottom still there even when says 'updated just now' which usually means all mails sent and downloaded. Wasn't a problem on 7. Every day I find something else that's not right on 8.
Just like people were finding things in iOS 7 in the first few months after it was released (and even versions before that as well).
