Naah.

To all whiners, complainers, gripers:  You have succeeded in polluting this technical forum with the sheer volume of your unhelpful and inappropriate posts, making this area unusable for those looking for solutions, and there have been very effective solutions.  It has been explained to you where they might do some good and why they don't belong here.  Please accept these facts and reconsider what you are doing.

Yes, the 3G dropping must be fixed by Apple and I'm confident it will.  Btw, I do not work for Apple.

I do not consider legitimate complaints to be a gripefest. I have an ipad2 which operated perfectly well before upgrading to ios8 and ios8.0.2. My device is slow. Lost the ability to use GSM service with AT&T since upgrading. The copy and paste can only be used by rebooting after each use. Apparently the clip board only clears after powering off and rebooting. I get an occasional error within safari also. It is standard practice in software upgrades to be able to go back to a previous version of software if something doesn't go right after installing a new version. I bought this Apple product because I believed their claims of being a superior company and product. Hardware is no better than the software it runs.

What have you done to resolve the issues?

Considering the damage this upgrade did to folks across a wide spectrum of otherwise content users, the concerns and complaints posted here are a completely natural and understandable consequence. This forum offers many upset users an opportunity to lay this 'upgrade' fiasco as near the company's doorstep as possible.

Your upset at having your pristine forum set upon by whiners & complainers is a rare event. It will go away and you'll eventually be here alone...contented to restructure your domain inviolate.

It just disconnects you from wifi routers and bluetooth devices, long as you know your wifi password you should be fine, no data will be lost.

Fyi, I sent in feedback to the link you guys keep saying to go to for the feedback to  all you apple defenders and I have yet to have a reply. its been 2 days,Great customer service...

In my view, your frustration is not unreasonable, but I don't think Apple looks here to hear of that.  I recommend all - and I do mean "all"! - concerned complain at http://www.apple.com/feedback/.  I have reason to believe they do listen there, because they have implemented some suggestions I (and probably others) submitted there.

I myself have never gotten a reply from feedback, but I have seen some of my suggestions implemented.  You might get to talk to an actual live person via AppleCare, though.

Do you mean the feedback link that displays this message?

"We read all feedback carefully, but please note that we cannot respond to the comments you submit."

They do not reply to feedback, they just acknowledge it and forward it to the engineers, we are not "apple defenders" we are normal people with half a brain, who understand that nobody is perfect, like I have stated before we offered you solutions to fix this, if you choose not to try to fix it that is nobody but your problem. So please, if you are not here to try and fix your issue just go away. If you want to talk to someone at apple that can help you, contact Apple Care, they deal with technical support.

Reposting for people who missed it before:

I found a fix! Okay, so try clearing Safari History in Settings>Safari>Clear History and Website Data then go into Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings, please let me know if this works, I had a friend try this and it worked.

Seems to workEd for me so far. Not as leggy as before. But only played around with it for 5 min so keeping my fingers crossed

People are reporting the same issues with IOS 8 on their brand new devices.  This is why the update was pulled. Brand new iPhone 6s with similar issues, right out of the box.

Let me guess.  You saw that on the Internet so it must be true, right?

Actually, that one is true, apple released iOS 8.0.1 and almost right away pulled it off cause it was screwing with data usage, they fixed all that in 8.0.2 and pulled it almost soon as it was released, but still, they fixed it, so what makes them think apple won't fix this? It just may be more complicated then we realize. I'd like to see any of you people complaining try to code software to work with 12 different device and not make any mistakes.
