IOS 8.0.2 wifi issues

Hi, I have issues with my new iPhone 6 on IOS 8.0.2


Sometimes I lose wifi connectivity and disable / enable the wifi on Settings is not enough... only chance is to reboot the phone.

Same here, the last few days I've been coming back home and iPhone 6 (64GB 8.0.2, Turkey) hasn't been connecting to my home Wi-Fi I tried turning Wi-Fi on and off and even turning aeroplane mode on and off but the only way it fixes itself is if I just leave the iPhone and eventually it connects its not a huge problem for me since I just end up using my mobile data which is the same speed as home wifi if not faster.


Hope Apple fixes this along with a lot of other bugs that I have submitted to the Apple bug reporter (I'm a developer)

Same deal. I'm not even convinced it's iOS 8.0.2. wifi just hangs. The signal is good and shows full bars. I'm 10 feet away from my access point. It works, and then it just doesn't. If you turn off wifi and turn it back in every few minutes, lol, it comes back.


Meanwhile an iPad air on 8.0.2 sitting right beside the iPhone 6, connects to the exact same sites and has no problems.


FIX THIS APPLE!!

I think that DNS fix may help people who are connecting to their WiFi but can't get to the Internet. I don't think it will help those of us whose phones are not connecting to WiFi at all and then get a message of "Cannot Scan For Wireless Networks" when trying to connect.


I may give it a shot if the problems persist. Can't hurt. Might help through some kind of magic.


I reset my phone completely and restored from backup and the problem appears to be happening with less frequency now at least. I no longer want to hurl my phone out the window. I just give it angry glares now.
