Yea, the update is fine. I agree about the scrubbing, it's not working really good and seems more coarse than in ios7, same with the music app.


I haven't messed with the music yet. But the video is acting funny in just about any app.

Also noticed this morning that some of the descriptions and options in settings still say IOS 7.

My text are also coming in 3-5 minutes late, and if I respond through notifications quick reply, the message app badge doesn't update to reflect it.
 
After installing iOS 8 on an IPad Air Mini Retina and latest gen iPod, both worked fine until I performed a reboot (Home & Power buttons) on both. Now, neither will start up. The Apple logo appears on screen, eventually fades and then turns off. I have repeated the reboot process several times now but I am unable to get either device to start. Accordingly, I'm not going to upgrade my 5S or other Apple iOS devices.

Any ideas what to do? HELP?

Getting blurry wallpaper when zooming in

When I try to set any photo as a wallpaper (any other than the official stills)
And try to zoom in to set a part of the photo as the wallpaper (with or without parallax) the photo becomes blurred as soon as I start zooming in.

(this happens also from inside any apps extra setting option 'use as wallpaper')

These photo's are either made with 5s, or from my Mac (in very high-res, much higher then retina screen from iPhone.)

Also when opening those same photos in the 'Photo's' app, they zoom in perfectly pixel-sharp.


And neither on iOS 7 did I ever encounter these problems, (there the zooming even stopped just before the resolution of those pics became blurry.. to keep them sharp)

Anyone else also experiencing this?
 
Cannot get any keyboard to work on my Retina iPad Mini, despite removing and re-adding in the keyboard preferences, uninstalling and reinstalling, and rebooting my device several times. They are invisible or show a blank outline of the keyboard area on the screen, and tapping on that does nothing or selects stuff under the keyboard area.
 
Also, found another bug we found is that even having a restriction turned on where users can't create mail accounts they can still open up the mail application and add an account if no account is setup on the device. If you try to add an account via the settings application it is grayed out but the user can use the mail application to get around this. On iOS 7 if you opened the mail application it would tell the end user that it is restricted.
 
If I open the camera from lock screen. Then lock via power button. Then open/unlock phone as usual using home button and Touch ID It doesn't go to home screen. It goes to camera. And yep also tried waiting for a while.


Also why have I got a keyboard data chinese japenese keyboard iCloud backup in my iCloud backups? Don't have an app called that.
 
5c:
- Battery Life is draining a lot quicker. No active apps and just on the phone with a friend, I went from 98% down to 29% within 45 minutes. Have never seen so much consumption before.
- Speaking of the phone, getting no notifications somebody called. Checked every possible settings and all seem fine. Only way I knew a friend called was because I'd been expecting the call and saw in the Recent list they'd called 3 minutes before.
- In iOS 7, if you were listening to music, then checked out a video which also had sound, the music would pause until you were done with the video. Now, they both play simultaneously...
- When in another app like somebody previous stated, the time/battery life/wifi bar at the top of the screen overlaps the apps. Same thing happens when on a phone call, the bar at the top overlaps whatever I'm doing. And it prevents proper viewing of things, sometimes pushing the screen downward and sometimes simply cropping it altogether.
- In Safari, when going to a new page and back it keeps reloading... WHY?! sigh
- Probably related to the 5c and my bad battery somehow, but man since updating my phone is HOT to touch. Thankfully have a case but the heat even with the case is a tad much. Dunno what that's about.
- In the Song list, songs are being assigned random album cover art from other albums.

IOS 8, Control Center & Lock Screen

Since I updated to IOS 8 yesterday in my iPhone 5, I can't access Control Center from Lock Screen, it goes black and doesn't work.
This doesn't happen in my iPad Air, which I also updated yesterday.
Can't figure it out.
 
So many features missing on iPhone 5 that was promised for iOS 8 what a LOAD of crap Apple has turned out without Steve Jobs God only help us do we really need U2 helping out with music selling and Beats also which you have to pay $14.99 when it is part of Apple now.
 
Photo disappears on iPhone 5 when trying to edit photo. Photo returns when you hit cancel. Wow this sucks. Doesn't happen on iPad Air.
 
Since I updated I can't get any notifications.I have notifications on for all the apps I want and banner selected but I don't get anything.
 
iPhone 5s doesn't goto home screen after unlocking. Goes back to settings where I left it.

And this was beta tested for how long?
 
Minor cosmetic issue:

On an iPad Air with cellular, if cell data is turned off, the usual "iPad" indicator in the status bar will be missing, until cell data is toggled on/off to force the status display to update.

As usual, updating turned Bluetooth on, but this time, also lowered screen brightness to about a third.

And unlike a typical update that I'm used to, it didn't just reboot the device and have it return to the lock screen. This required user intervention on the device to complete a kind of mini-setup process. At first I thought it had wiped it and was doing a clean install.

Same on iPad 4
 
Just found this one. I am very shocked and disappointed that they could let this one slip past them. Not sure if it is youtube's fault or iOS.

This happens all the time to me. I would say it is YouTube since most other applications don't have this issue.
 
Settings doesn't default to the top when going back in. It remains where you left it. Is this the beta program. Did I time slip backwards?


Highlighting to edit in this box doesn't allow me to move the cursor to highlight everything. Jumps back to cover only one word.
 
My keyboard choice doesn't seem to be sticking (so to speak).

Added swift key, selected the keyboard in various apps (Facebook, mailbox, drafts spring to mind), then at some point (presumably when the app is closed down in terms of memory?) the keyboard swaps back to the stock Apple one.
