The silence from Apple on these obvious issues is deafening.

Apple is not here on this forum ... for one thing. This is a "users helping other users" forum in that one user posts a problem, and another user posts a solution to the problem that the first user can implement himself. Apple does not comment or participate in this "users helping other users" forum.

As for the MEDIA, Apple never discusses future revisions, like any bug fixes that they may be working on. When Apple delivers solutions, they don't "talk about it" they simply DELIVER a fix in a revision.

You seem to be looking for Apple to do something (namely a press conference of some sort) which is something they never do. You're going to be waiting FOREVER if you're waiting for a news conference ... :-) ... but you won't have long of a wait if you're taking about upcoming revisions.

The question no one seems to be asking is, "why should I waste hours of my time troubleshooting and trying to repair a problem that everyone seems to have out of the box?"

Well, for one thing everyone doesn't have a problem right out of the box. And even in this forum, with long-term users they don't all exhibit problems. There are many here who have no problem at all with iOS 8.1, and others who had initial problems, but not now, after they applied one or more of the solutions here.

AND ... for the second thing, one doesn't know ahead of time if something is easily solved and requires no fix from Apple -OR- if somethong does need a bug fix on a particular problem. You may wait and wait to only find out after weeks of waiting, that it was something easily solved by you in the first place.

Follow this procedure for a Troubleshooting Methodology ... basically reset to factory default condition -BUT- be sure to do the following methodically and also to follow the part with Apple Support!

First you want to make sure you have several backups of your data and done with a couple of "different" sources. Be sure to understand what data is backed up and what is NOT on iCloud Backup and iTunes Backup. Use a variety of methods for backup ... you might check into Dropbox, in addition to your Apple options.

Then turn off your desktop anti-virus software when using iTunes for this reset to factory default. After you do that reset, then leave your iPad in its factory default state and see how it operates then. If you encounter any problems in that factory default state, then take it to Apple Support, and let them know that you have just reset it to that state with iTunes and have not put any of your data back on and it is operating in this fashion (whatever the problem is) in that pristine state. Make sure you keep that trouble ticket number, because if it has to be escalated through Apple Support, you're going to find all communications tied in with that number. If the lower level help isn't able to help you, then escalate it to a higher level to examine the problem. Keep at it with that trouble ticket number until Apple Support arrives at a solution to that problem. Be methodical and keep at it.

On the other hand, if everything is okay with the factory default condition, then restore your backup. Some people have discovered that the problem resides in the apps or something in the restored backup. If that's the case, then it's going to be trying and difficult to find out which developer's app is causing you the problem. And ... it's true ... that a developer not following Apple's instructions and guidelines for his app can CAUSE YOU TROUBLE. This kind of thing does happen from developers, especially when a new system upgrade comes out, because some developers ignore what Apple tells them about changes coming, and what they do BREAKS SOMETHING.

This is a troubleshooting methodology that you are going through. See it through to the end.

Thanks Bob, I haven't been able to get back until now, and I see I even missed iOS 8.1.1. As it turned out ... I had every symptom of Ebola, except one, and if I had come over from Africa, they would have quarantined me. It turns out it was the flu. Good thing I didn't have the final symptom of Ebola ... :-) ...

So, while while I'm still recovering, I'll see about getting iOS 8.1.1. Now, I don't really expect to see any improvement on my part, since I'm running just fine on iOS 8.1 but I'll report anyway, just like I did in its own thread for iOS 8.0.2.

I would say, though, that the vast and overwhelming majority of iOS users are not going to see anything one way or the other with iOS 8.1.1 because they are running normally anyway. The only group that is going to be interested in this ... is the very small group that is currently having some problems. And for that group, I would advise this troubleshooting methodology ... when doing the iOS 8.1.1 revision ...

Since I can get no support ...

I don't know who told you that you can't get support, because you can. Now, in my case I actually "paid for support" ahead of time, without knowing whether I would really need it or not, and that was with a brand new purchase! In your case you can pay for support KNOWING that you need that particular support and Apple will assign you a trouble ticket number that you use to follow up on it until it is solved!

I'll add in what I've posted before, along with some Apple Support documentation on how to do some of that, along with the documents on backups, which is very important to understand.
