Like others, my iPad 2 (16 Gb, wi-fi only) is just not the same as it was under iOS 7. I am running iOS 8.0.2
Here's a list of steps that I've taken that have improved matters, though I still have trouble clicking through to hyperlinks on Safari.
Yep, I have done every step, and others, and attempted to revert back, but still slow, on multiple iPads. Today I was having this discussion with a client who has over 50 iPads and iPhones. Ranging from 4s iPhone to the latest, and iPad 2 to the latest. Without talking to me, they decided everything should be updated. After doing so, they have had zero good experiences, and all bad experiences. You ever try talking to a client who has dozens of devices and telling them that what once worked great, will no longer work well? You think that *I* am unhappy? You think that *you* are unhappy. Oh my, they are livid.
Their IT director decided that he would take a set number of them back to iOS 7x, and did so this afternoon, and viola, they work perfectly again. Tomorrow his day is going to be spent reverting them ALL back as having differing levels of non-functioning or malfunctioning devices is too much for their limited IT staff to handle. It's just easier to lose everything and go back in time.
Yes, he reports that many of the test bed of devices failed to restore backups. So, just like me, they are starting over, downloading all apps, and reconfiguring them as if it were a new device.
Fortunately for them, they only use the built-in apps, and one other 3rd party app for their business. Every other app was loaded by employees, and is unimportant in the grand scheme of things.
