Since updating to iOS 8, my 5S has been "buggy". Did 8.0.2 update and it's still an issue. Apps closing and going back to home screen...freezing...having to reset 2-3 times/wk because I can't "access the Internet"...being in 3G a lot. Any recommendations appreciated.

I recommend that you restore your device either by putting it in recovery mode or DFU mode and then setting it up as new and NOT from a backup.

8.1 is going to fix these issues. I'd suggest resetting all settings. If you still have issues then restore as new. Good luck

Yea, I would try what was mentioned above. It could also be that some apps aren't quite compatible with ios8 yet too.

Restoring as new breathed new life into my 5S and iOS 8.0.2.
I had been restoring a back up since last year from my 4S.
Didn't want to do the chore of downloading all my apps and creating folders but sometimes you gotta go and do it.

iOS 8.0.2 is running GREAT on my Verizon Gold 5s 32gb. It's snappier and smoother than iOS 7+. I didn't do anything special, just updated OTA starting around 9:30PM the same day it was released. :yes:
