Why does iOS 8.0.2 not resolve the issue of WiFi connectivity with iOS 8 and the new iPhone 6?

Please apple fix it. Wifi is very slow on iPhone 5, I have tried many solutions. Clean install ios 8.02, no luck. Help!

i am also having some wifi connectivity problems, both my iphone and ipad have been updated to 8.02, the iphone 6 connects fine to internet and stays connected, the ipad has problems connecting, when it connects its very slow and constantly freezes and crashes, other problem is calls get sent straight to answerphone even when it says i have signal, is this an apple problem or o2

What I found out on my new iPhone 6: It does not get any WLAN connection automatically. It sees the WLAN but will not get an IP address when "talking" to the DHCP server. This applies to 8.0 as well as to 8.0.2. Only if I use static IP settings the WLAN connections works well.

So it seems that the WLAN module basically works and reception is OK as well. But it cannot manage to get an IP address once in DHCP mode.

I have tried on 5 different WLANs/routers where iPhone 3GS, 5 and 5S will all get IP addresses w/o. any problems.

The "straight to voicemail" issue is a carrier issue, I've seen it happen with every new phone I get - just call the carrier form your phone... they will probably ask for your IMEI number (find it in Settings->General->About) so you might want to write it down before you call..

TTry to reset the network. Go to general, reset, reset network settings. You will need to put wireless password again.

IPhone 6 plus 128

I tried that last night... this morning i had to restart my iphone 6plus because the wifi icon disappeared again.... still having the same problem!!

I have a brand new 6 Plus, gonna wait and just keep 8.0 noticed that 8.0.2 downloaded and sits there, how can you remove it? Other than the health apps wich needed this update I am good and my new iphone does well in all situations.

**** i cannot believe i've just log in to the apple discussion,but its very frustrating that i can't connect through internet with wifi even the connection from wifi itself is very strong,get a grip apple!or i will change my loyalty to another brand

mmy iPhone 5s and mini iPad really slow now. Am really frustrated. Anyway to solve this ?

This probably has been the best thread to demonstrate it is not just an Australian problem. I got a question booted because I was asking how may iphone 6 people had issues with original 8 and then with only 8.0.2. (it is in the rules for this community). My problem is all the news sources of apple things have forgotten about this issue with 8.0.2 and apple is busy moving on to selling in new countries and the things of next month (new imac, yosemite release, and such). They may not read this but they sure pounced on my question polling who had this issue.

The only way it can be fixed is when Apple send out a fix. Hopefully they will send out an update soon, one that preferably works.

Yes I may wait til we get to 8.1 or something. It seems often that the 0.x releases still contain the issues of the orginal OS and OS version X.1 or X.2 finally clean things up. This of course is the big beta test of 8.0 and while I have no problem with 8.0 on my 6 Plus I am wary of these 0.0.x releases so far.

go to general, usage, manage store. Form there you can delete whatever you want like the iOS update

Thanks will do that til I see problems resolved.

Wife and I each had an iPhone 5 and we had the wife problem after updating. We upgraded to the 6 last week and still having the problem, even after the most recent update. All of you people that keep telling others to change their wifi setting from WPE to WPA...please stop giving out bad info. That is not the problem and will to fix the problem. If it does for you, then it is just pure coincidence, as that is obviously not fixing the problem for everybody. I have a Netgear dual band router and my 2.4 band is set to WPE and my 5 GHz band to WPA and both bands are having the wifi dropping out. It doesn't matter if I disable one band, switch all to WPA or WPE, or whatever troubleshooting being suggested, the problem still exists. The problem is with iOS 8 so please stop telling others to change their wifi encryption settings. Besides, logic dictates that should not be the resolution to the problem because when you go to a public wifi spot, you can't change those settings. Type of router encryption did not matter with previous iPhones and iPods, so why would encryption matter now in the most advance iPhones yet? It doesn't. I've never had problems connecting to wifi like I have with iOS 8. You can play around with settings all you want, but this is going to be a problem with the software until Apple gets it fixed, which hopefully will be soon.
