I'm downloading a software update (8.1.2) on my phone at it's been at 12 hours for a while now and just wondering if I can speed it up?

You should be able to reboot your device by simultaneously pressing both the power and home buttons until you see the Apple logo. The update *should* continue where it left off.

It did but now it's downloading but there is no status bar nor time remaining showing. I have never seen a update do this. Is this normal?

Not in my experience. If you're updating OTA (over the air), it could take a while depending on your internet connection and the same applies via iTunes. You might consider downloading the .ipsw file for the latest iOS version and install it manually via iTunes.

I'm exactly having the same situation here right now! What to do???? It's been an entire night! I'm awake now in the morning and myphone's still showing me the white screen with black apple in the center, then it switches to blue screen and die for 2 secs and repeat. What's wrong with my phone?? Why it's taking it so long to update??? Help please!!
