2. This is an option controlled by your carrier.
3. Not seeing this.
4. Not seeing this (but I don't turn my brightness all the way up.
5. Not seeing it.
6. My major battery drain is caused by the Moves App.
- If you performed the upgrade over the air, you may consider backing up your device and restoring to factory settings using iTunes in case there was a problem with the ota update.

Done the following to resolve the issues I faced:
- Restore with iTunes for 4 times.
- Checked battery usage as mentioned in the previous post: 6. Safari gets the maximum usage of battery though I closed/terminated it from multitasking menu.
- My iPhone 5S is a factory unlocked phone. Did not receive any carrier update which removed the option of toggling 2G/3G. It was fine with iOS 7.1.2 two days back and I found other people are also facing the same issue with iOS8.
- Did not perform OTA update. Updated through iTunes and later restored several times.

Sep 20, 2014 1:25 AMby MyBlueSky,To clarify the toggling option of 2G/3G:
Previously on iOS 7.1.2, we had an option to enable cellular data without enabling 3G which consumed less battery power as it worked in 2G(GPRS/EDGE) network. Now on iOS 8 enabling cellular data enables 3G by default which consumes a huge battery power.
People facing the same issue:

- Can not take screenshot of messages while dragging them to left to show date and time of Messages thread with AssistiveTouch button on your screen
FYI you can take screenshots with AssistiveTouch from Device -> More -> Screenshot

Sep 20, 2014 6:09 AMby Lincdunn ,I recently updated my iPhone 5S to ios8 and not I seem to be having trouble with my iMessaging. When I am in a group chat my iMessage will work but after awhile it switches to SMS even though my iMessage is activated and I can't switch it back. I have tried turning it off and on again and it doesn't work. Also sometimes when I just send one person a text over iMessage it changes it to SMS and I can't change it back. I would really like this update if my iMessage would just work! Also it seems that since I sent one person an SMS instead of an iMessage that it is no longer allowing me to send the message as an iMessage.

However, do you use any other apple devices? Have you updated your icloud settings while updating to iOS 8? If so accept the settings change on your other apple devices. You can also try reset all settings of your phone.
On the other hand, you can give a try by restoring your phone with iTunes. Hope your problem resolves soon

Sep 20, 2014 6:48 AMby raghuseeth1,My battery drains very fast (100% to zero in about 4 hours with minimal usage), started happening right after I upgraded to iOS 8. Issue started happening both on my iPhone 5S and on my iPad Air after iOS 8 upgrade.
I am also having bluetooth issues on my iPhone 5S, the bluetooth sync in my car behaves very weirdly after I link it up with my phone. It tries to call one of my contacts and then hangs up. It goes in this loop for ever.
Also just regular music playback on the phone does not work. Tried playing music several times, the music keeps cutting in and out (seems to jump between iPhone and iPhone speakers)...
Find my iPhone app does not save my login credentials... have to enter my password every time I open the app....
Is anyone at Apple even looking at these issues ??
