Keyboard won't react when in landscape mode on SMS?

Hi There.

I updated my 5S to the IOS8.

After that, I had problems when writing an SMS. Sometimes (almost every time) the keyboard doesn’t react to anything when turning to landscape mode. I then have to turn the phone upright, and the down to landscape again. The screen then goes black, and I can press the home-button to see the screen again.

I actually thought this was a bug in IOS8 since it appeared after the update.

Now I bought the IPhone 6. And I set that up with the complete backup from my 5S. I then updated to IOS 8.0.2, and the problem is also on my IP6

I can’t find anyone else with this problem, so what can I do now?

Is the only solution to reset the IP6 to factory default, and install sms, and contacts via iCloud?

But then I have to install all the apps manually?

I have a lot of apps with personal settings, and different mail accounts. I really don’t want to do all this.

Anyone have a solution?

Kind regards.
