iPad 2 with iOS 8.0.2 - still no service

I agree totally. I just wish I could return to ioS 7. Please Apple, give us a way to go back to the working ioS 7 system. You gave us no warning that ioS 8 was not suitable for Ipad 2. Now the Ipad system that I sang praises about to all my friends as the best thing I ever bought, has faded away... All because of a dysfunctional software update (grrrr). Is Apple even listening? Do they hear our pain?

AT&T iPad 2 upgraded to iOS 8.0.2 and my device needs to be repeatedly power cycled to get cellular connection.

SAme problems here, too!

no service after a while of inactivity on my ipad2 and also touchid issues!

from my point of view the patch is as unusefull as the ios8!

any way to get back to ios 7 without losing data from my ipad?

Same exact issue. Extremely frustrating.

The same 😟 with iPad mini retina. I can't use my iPad from 2 weeks !!!!

I may have stumbled across a fix which has worked for my iPad 2 suffering the same issue. Go to settings>icloud, the tap on your account name. As soon as you do you will find the missing carrier cellular setting comes back and the service status changes from no service to your provider. You will find you have been logged out of your Apple account, log back in and cellular data is restored. I have a 2011 iPad 2 with an Australain carrier. This has worked for me the last few times, as I too was having to reboot to restore connection.

Oh I totally agree that this bug needs to be fixed, but it saves time and effort from rebooting. Ios 7 only became enjoyable for iPad2 when 7.1 was released many months later. Let's hope we do not have to wait so long for 8.1 and it is designed for greater efficiency on older devices. I am most dissappointed that a major software release could be so half baked.

Thanks, thishelped!

I am from Belgium (Proximus cellular network) and I have (I had?) the same difficulties.

24h ago, I have disabled the "iCloud Drive" function on my iPad 2 (in Settings --> iCloud) and, didn't experience any "No Service" until now...

Could someone else test this workaround to see if it is "the final one" ?

Thanks a lot.

IIt's still working for me, and I discovered you don't even need to log back in to your apple account. When it calls up for a password, just let it sit till the status changes to 'searching'. Once network shows up, hit cancel and your logged in with cellular active agaIn.

I had this issue with my Iphone 5S running IOS 8.0.2 this morning... So frustrating....

I'm not sure why but this does not work for me and I am also in Australia with 2011 Ipad 2... ??? Has anyone seen any reply from Apple about this bug In 8.0.2?

Disaster !

Tried everything that was suggested! Good for a while then loses service. Uploaded to 8.02 yesterday and still shows no service. My daily newspapers are impossible to get unless I download them wirelessly before I leave my house. Apple are you aware of THIS!

Since we are all complaining about the IPAD 2's, is this the "planned obsolesence" built into (or planted for us by upgrading to 8.02) by Tim Cook?
