ios 8.2 problems for iphone 4s

having 2 major problems with my iphone 4s since installing ios8. firstly, my wifi randomly stopped working and the option to turn it on or off was greyed out, i called apple in america twice and followed their instructions to try and resolve the problem but it didnt, it was like that up until 2 hours ago when i plugged my phone into my laptop and itunes said there was an 8.2 update, since installing this i am now able to turn my wifi on and off, and sometimes it just comes up with the searching symbol and then other times it would pick up my wifi, id put the password in but said i couldnt connect, i then left it, twice so far its connected to my wifi but only for a min then loses connection. when i go on to the wifi setting it will either freeze or again not pick up and wifi connections. i have done 4 master resets, and cleared my whole phone to which leads on to my next problem, my music app. normally it will have the albums,songs,artists option at the bottom and since resetting my phone neither of those come up at the bottom, regardless whether i have music on it it still should come up. this is like deja vu all over again when i had a blackberry and blackberry f***ed up for days and now these guys are doing the same, i can safely say its put me off having another iphone. when i took it into my local store not one of those people took the time to explain what may of caused it but where quick to tell me i needed to buy a new handset for £150 or pay £88 to cancel my current contract to then get a new iphone. well i wish i could say sorry for saying this but i'm not this will be the first and LAST time i use an apple product. so hurry the f**k up and sort it out!!!!!!!!!User uploaded fileUser uploaded file

I am also having problems with IOS 8.2 upgrade to Iphone 4S. After doing factory reset to phone via ITUNES (as per apple support) it seemed better. But WIFI cannot find my home network now. If I do a network factory reset on my phone sometimes it lets my home WIFI appear and then I have to key in the password and it works on and off. Sometimes the WIFI button is greyed out and unusable. Also randomly have some of the issues Xtremest has noted above. Have spent two days on the phone with APPLE and AT&T. Phone froze in loop and charged $345 over my 10GB cellular max for the month on the 6th day of the month before I did reset.Total frustration!! I am also being told that my phone, which worked fine before 8.02 install, now has a hardware malfunction and I need to buy a new phone because I am out of warranty. Three other IPHONE 4S users in my family have no WIFI issues - they DID NOT upgrade to IOS 8.02. I had absolutely no issues before this upgrade. Very disappointed that APPLE will not admit to the problem and work on a fix, they just want to throw away the phones that prior to update worked perfectly fine and sell you another phone. If you are having similar issues please post here so we can get a fix for our phones. Thanks.

Really disappointed here! my 4s and once my baby is now horribly frustrating to use. It keeps freezing while I'm trying to type messages, gets stuck in portrait and landscape and exits out of apps all the time. It's also very slow now. Apple I understand you want everyone upgrading but this is ridiculous. Will definitely be rethinking an iphone purchase if these issues aren't addressed very quickly.

My daughter has had the iphone 4s since November of 2012, she is now 12, she has taken great care of this phone, no scratches, dents or broken screens. She updated to the 8.2 and now it doesn't connect to any wifi, doesn't even show that there are wifi networks available. I called Apple for support and all they can really say is you have an upgrade available. I think they owe us a new phone, it was perfect until she updated, I don't believe this is in anyway my responsibility. Yes, she has an upgrade, I believe she will be going with an Android. Done with Apple.

Same here, my iphone 4s is now useless and VERY frustrating!! I have spent hours on the phone and email to apple, I have done every restore reset blah blah blah that they have asked me to do. I have spent hours and hours on the computer...I am soooo CRANKY Apple!!!! This phone was perfectly fine prior to IOS 8. Basically they have went me on a wild goose chase for the last 4 weeks and the phone is getting progressively worse. Exactly the same problems that each of you have shared. The guy told me on the phone today that they haven't been receiving complaints about the 4 S and his personal 4S is working perfectly with IOS8...Apple needs to do something about these phones!! I put my trust in Apple when installing the suggested IOS update.

Apple has put out update 8.1, If you go online and read about what is addressed it seems to be our problems with WIFI and Bluetooth. I have since moved to another phone, lost some things, but I am hesitant to go back to my Iphone 4s with 8.0.2 installed and update to 8.1. I will give it some time. This was a huge hassle and now I have to deal with the time and hassle of moving back to my Iphone that Apple said was a 'hardware issue'. And I will probably lose more along the way. If this update truly addresses the WIFI and Bluetooth issues then I feel it was very insincere for Apple to say, 'buy a new phone, you have a hardware issue' when they were probably working on the fix as they said this.
