iOS 8.1 released. Feedback/Bugs Thread

[austriak]

In many ways 8.1 feels like a great update but there is one thing that is bothering me. Battery life is not as good. I noticed it yesterday but thought that it could be due to checking out all the new things. I have had my 6 since launch and every night I charged it to 100%, would go to bed, and then wake up with it at 100%. I did the same thing last night and I woke up with it at 98%. The battery usage also said that somehow it was used for 8 minutes while I was asleep. I know 2% is not that big of a deal but I noticed a diminished in battery life yesterday.

I gained about 300 MB after doing the update though iTunes... But mine hasn't gone up since then.

I've found battery life to be WAY better. I've said it before, I rarely find battery issues legit, but on my 4S, with iOS8, my batter life was horrible. But 8.1 has brought it back in line. It's been off charger since 6am, and it's 8:30 and I'm still on 100% with some light use. Before, I'd probably already have been around 85%...

Am I the only one who can't download Facebook anymore?

You mean to app? Or is it not showing in the app? If your account is not working properly in the app, go to your phone's Settings >Facebook >delete account. Then add your account back in with your email and password. Then try the app again.

Under Settings > Messages, go to the Send & Receive options. I had to enable both my phone number and email address on both devices before the Text Message Forwarding option appeared.

Thank you, I got it worked out this morning. I had to turn on iMessage to get both prompts. I was under the impression they were separate things but I guess not. Won't be able to test it out until much later today when my sister wakes up since she's the only person I know that doesn't have an iPhone, lol.

Anyone still having WiFi issues? My iPhone 6 is working fine however my partners iPhone 5s keeps dropping WiFi she never seems to be able to get the same connection as me, even when in the same room.

I have tried resetting the network settings, and this works for a bit.

We started having this issue night before last. Started working again and then about mid day yesterday we could not get any WiFi connection at all on any iDevices (3 iPads, 3 iPhones). Updated to 8.1 and they will work on our guest account but will not stick on our regular account. When starting the device it will try, bounce around and then log us on to the guest account. We've forgotten the network, reset network settings, rebooted the router, just about everything we can think of. Someone up thread said that the update got rid of this bug but that doesn't seem to be the case for us.

I guess it's just managing storage space better.

Could it have anything to do with photo stream? Photos removed from the stream would add more space. Gotta be something! LOL

I almost never do it over the air due to the fact that there always seems to be minor glitches. However, I am out of town and did it OTA and everything is great so far. I will almost certainly restore as new when I get back due to my OCD. Btw, using iPhone 6.

Btw you can AirPlay to an Apple TV 3 (model A1469) without being connected to the same wifi network or not connect to wifi at all

That is fantastic! Do you know if it will work on Apple TV 2 or is it specific to the 3?

Looks like my airplay issues within apps are fixed, and I don't need Bluetooth to airplay anymore while connected to the same WiFi network as my apple TV

Question, 8.1 brings support for iCloud photo library. Why have I had that option from 8.0? I've been using iCloud photo library from my iPhone 5 64GB since 8.0.

I couldn't download the app (I'm a new user) and now I've deleted my account and I can download it... I love you! Thanks.

Updated my 5S via iTunes, mine is draining at about 1% per hour so far.

What did you use it for? Storage? Were the photos synced or shared between devices?
