iOS 8 : Problems & Issues

My phone won't play mpeg-1 layer 3 files anymore or any mp3 downloaded from s CD. I restarted the phone several times and re-synced the songs back onto my phone after it forced deleted them by itself!! No problems before iOS 8. Please help before I break this **** phone out of frustration.

I have the 5c. Since updating, I have several issues. One is that when I'm playing a music album, I'm unable to return to the list of albums. I can go under playlists or artists, but I always prefer to go to albums. It won't let me and I'm stuck on this one album.

Since I installed iOS 8, the camera on the lock screen isn't working properly anymore on my (and my wife's) iPhone 5. When I swipe up, the camera starts but the screen turns black within less than a second.

On the iPad 2 and the iPad Air (both upgraded to iOS 8) I don't have this problem. It seems to be iPhone 5 specific

I am having issues as well.

• Battery draining very quickly. In 3 hours, I've gone from 100% to 28% with almost no use.
• When swiping up on the main screen to access the flashlight, etc, there appears to be some glitch with the music section. The volume is toggling back and forth on its own. I'm wondering if that is the reason for the battery drain since that is constantly running in the background.
• The bluetooth connection in my car was just repeating "call ended" or some variation over and over even though there was no call connected at all this morning. I turned off my bluetooth to get it to stop.
• My phone is running very warm to the touch even when it's not in use.

Add me and my wife to the battery issue.

The drain is incredibly fast and I do not have the option of keeping my phone plugged in during my work day. I, like many other users, have done everything suggested to try and combat the issue to no avail. Unfortunately, this is the kind of issue that has me considering a new phone from a different manufacturer. Consistent issues like this for every update (and lets face it, there are many updates) are maddening at best. I need my phone to work, and to do so for a reasonable duration under minimal to moderate use. Four hours is not long enough considering the eleven hours I was getting with ios7. Not a fan and not happy that I am unable to revert back to ios7.

Maybe apple will give us a fancy iphone case with an extra battery in it.

You can revert back. I did it on all my devices.

Here you go. I rolled my Air, Mini and iPhone 5 back to 7.1.2 and all are back normal.

Follow directions carefully and note that this is only available for a while. Apple will stop signing the file eventually. Hopefully this will get you back to work until ios 8 is fixed.

I have exactly the same issue updating my iPhone 4s to iOS8.0.1 including new bugs introduced in ios8 (copied text forgotten) of course the app switching refresh bug from IOS7 remains an as intended feature....

Productivity could not be lower

it partially fixes the offline reading list. It now works when in airplane mode, but if the connection status is "searching" or "no service" then you get the message "Safari needs connection to the Internet"

Hello,

I have upgraded to iOS 8 on my 5s and have problem with Reminders - frequently use location based reminder for incoming calls: Decline - Remind me - When I leave. Location based Reminder was correctly set up automatically. Now with iOS 8 the new Reminder si set but without any location. I checked setting for Setting - Privacy - Location Services - Raminders. Now there is options Never or While Using the App (my option). Other apps has option Always but this option is not available for location services. iOS 7 had only toggle on-off for every app.

Can you help me, please?

Thanks

Vaclav

I have been a loyal customer for a very long time and am thinking about returning my device for a galaxy. I have battery drainage and several other issues. Set up took a really long time with major issues even with hours of phone time with support. Nothing was resolved. I hung up and started from scratch. What is the point of all of the new, great stuff if you can't use it due to glitches or having to turn it off to save battery life. They are getting it wrong!

I am tired of having to spend hours on work arounds when I just purchased a new product. Why should I have to fix something that I bought? It seems like I have to disable half of the features that I bought the phone for on the first place just so it will have the basics. Thinking about switching to Android.
