Camera lock screen iPhone 5 not working properly after upgrade to iOS 8

After I installed iOS 8 on the iPhones 5 of my and my wife's the camera on the lock screen isn't working properly anymore. When I swipe up, the camera starts but the screen turns black within less then 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.


Has anyone else experienced this problem?

iPhone 5, iOS 8

I've got an iPhone6 running IOS 8.1.3 and have has this problem ever since I got the phone, none of the options suggested make any difference.

There have been a number of niggling little problems with V8, come on Apple get your act together this is not the quality we expect from you.


When are you going to have a fix for this problem ?

The problem presists on 5S 8.1 in two ways:


After reboot eveything works fine till I use voice control to dial people. Since I use it two things happens:


1. Camera and Alarm Clock stops working from lock screen

2. Call and Anserwes SLOWS DOWN rapidly... it slows that much that after pressing someone to dial to it takes few seconds to see caller id (no way to hang up in case of mistake call-out before it connect to.)


Anyone knows how to fix it?

This problem is related to voice dialing. If you use voice dialing from the locked screen the problem appears. After a soft reset it works fine again, but if you use voice dialing from the locked screen it appears again.

Apple does nothing alongside with the keyboard lag problem. Both seem to be icloud related since even after a full reset, after inserting icloud account both appear again, despite the device you use.

I have had the same problem since I updated my iPhone 5S to iOS 8 (that's on sept 2014) and it hasn't been solved with any of the iOS updates. Does anybody know if 8.3 update has fixed this??? It's really annoying since I use the camera a lot of times and, as another user said, I miss a lot of things because of having to unlock the iphone first to start the camera app...
