List of issues: iOS8

1. Miserable battery life.

2. No option to choose 2G network.

3. Excessive heating problem. Becomes very hot with a little use.

4. Display(flickering and color gradient) issue if the brightness is increased to the highest level.

E is Edge - essentially 2g.

With the 3G thing I notice on my 4S when I turn off the 3G the signal drops to one dot and an E appears next to the carrier name (in my case Telstra) I thinks this means Emergency only I also…

To my understanding "E" in the place of 3G refers the attachment/registry with 2G network of your operator which is EDGE/GPRS.

Try restarting your phone pressing power and home button simultaneously. Have you tried connecting with iTunes through PC/MAC?

I upgraded my phone yesterday to iOS 8. Right before doing so, I had it on the charger and it was charging fine. After installing the new iOS 8 it will not charge. It's the originally iphone charger that came with my phone, I've tried the wall outlet, my car outlet and my phone. I've restarted the phone then rebooted it to no avail. Have anyone had this issue and if so, how did you fix it? My phone is about to die and not sure what I can do once it does.

After upgrading my iPhone 5 to iOS8 I noticed a sluggish Wifi connection and a lower than normal battery life. Is anyone else experiencing these issues?

Add my name to this list for poor ios8 battery life on my iPhone 5s

Definitely seeing battery issues as well as sluggish wifi connection. Also noticed it being hot with little use. Need to remember to not update to new IOS just because there is one.

Hi,

Any one experiencing issues with the following (on a iPhone 5, "new" replacement as of 09/18):

1. Text messages- Cannot send message if in landscape view, must switch to portrait view to send.

2. Touch sensitivity is too high/too low. i.e.- aforementioned issue, as well as in other native apps: I press on the screen and nothing happens. In other cases (Safari tabs), I barely touch the screen and a tab is created.

3. iOS keeps telling me apps (that may or may not be running) are wanting to access location services. In iOS7, I turned the majority of these off except for: Maps, Facebook, travel apps, calendar, Safari. Not sure why it is asking about these. I loaded from backup, saved just before the update.
