IOS 8 copy paste problem + slowdown

IOS 8.2 did NOT solve the problems for me. I did the 8.2 upgrade and restore. Nada!

Same here, "upgrading" to ios8 was the worst decision I've made with Apple. My ipad2 is a stuttering mess.

I will NEVERMORE upgrade to their latest software update until at LEAST 3-6 mos after release in the future. What a complete schemozzle.

Abysmal quality assurance on Apple's part. Their entire ios8 QA management team must be sacked for this titanic screw up. Using their customers as beta testers is ridiculous, but increasingly Apple's approach.

That's exactly why I went and bought an Android today and specifically avoided another stuttering, expensive Apple brick.

II've been checking my RAM all along. The IOS is eating it big time. All apps completely shutdown and while its designed with 512 RAM I am lucky to have 100+ avail with all apps completely turned off. The list of running processes in the same scenario is unbelievable.

Having the same problem even after ios8 upgrade.

Only thing I found to work is the single letter old fix; copy 1 letter, than paste, then do your intended copy

and hope for the best. Just went through total **** moving back and forth between Amz. & EB and had to keep

popping into my notebook to drop copy then check paste...no fun.

Running iOS8.02 on iPad 2 32k/3G

I have updated to ios 8.02, but the problem is not fixed at all.

When I monitoring clipboard with applcation, sometime not copied, sometime text in clipboard changed to old text, and sometimes text chaged to old text when user go to Spotlight search.

I this a fix also for iOS 8.0.2? BTW, I never installed an iOS 8 beta on my iPad2. I installed iOS 8 on release and have installed iOS 8.0.2 but the copy-paste bug persists.

Same problem, running 8.0.2 and my select + copy/paste doesn't work at all. It's constantly pasting old links and I have to highlight text multiple times to even get it to copy in the first place. A nightmare.

Im using an iPad 2.

the copy+paste bug is driving me nuts.

😠 Incredibly so! I agree 1 gazillion%!

I am an iPAD2 user and I think it's important we are aware the problem not specific to a particular model of iPAD. Rather, it appears across the product line. As a result of IOS 8+ the OS is eating RAM like its a **** Pacman game!! My RAM is consistently in double digits and I only have one app installed which is Smart Memory Pro to monitor my RAM and Processes. I have all background settings turned off, notifications turned off and multitude of other services turned off. Does not improve free RAM.

I've now tested, with success thus far, that I have to free up RAM every time to clear out old data in clipboard to be able to effectively copy paste new data. Obviously not a solution, a PITA workaround. It also requires having to install an app capable of free'g up RAM. Having to revert to an addtl app takes up storage and creates more RAM consumption. It, too, is PITA, in that it does not automatically scan and constantly free up RAM. Freeing up RAM is a manual, user invoked task. An Apple bug fix should include auto free up RAM code built-in. We should not have to constantly take these extra steps to perform a simple process that is already part of the features nor have to download free or purchased apps to monitor and perform steps to compensate for IOS shortfall.

I was all set to upgrade to a IPhone 6 or 6+. Glad I did not. Also thought about upgrading iPad, but will not knowing these issues are across product lines.

On the crash information. I noticed in the Smart Memory Pro app some text info that indicates the app will refresh open apps (I assume means close) to avoid a crash of the iPad. I've also looked in my diagnostic data and can see references to various errors or crash. I assume the diagnostic data is correlated to my apps sporadically shutting down, which may very well be tied to RAM.

I would recommend if you do not have a free RAM app, download and monitor your RAM and see if you, too, are in double or low digits in comparison to your overall installed RAM regardless of iPAD model. I personally like Smart Memory Pro, but there is Free RAM and System Monitor App. (Think those are the names).

TThe copy paste problem on my iPad2 has been driving me crazy for days. Found a free app iClear which allows you to see what's on the clipboard and clear it off. I've had 90% success with copy paste after I've cleared the clipboard. A pain for sure, but better than 0% which I was having before. Hope the bug fix will be out SOON.
