Anyone updated their 5c to ios 8?

[usedberry]

Hello everyone,
Have u guys updated your 5c to ios8 yet? How is the performance so far? My friend has a 4s and it's like he wants to chuck away his phone with ios8. Should i just update my 5c or wait for like 8.01 or 8.1?
Thanks in advance.

I updated mine. No problems other than with the 3rd party keyboard.

Kenny what it your issue with keyboard. I am using swiftkey it launches only sometimes when I got to type is this your same problem as well

 

[PeltFrelken]

The 4s is a slower device. You should be fine with a 5c.

Could you please be specific about the problem faced with the third party KBs? Thank you.

I have installed Swift Key. There are times when the keyboard covers the area I'm trying to type in. I would have to move the screen up to make it visible again.

Here is kind of an example:



Note that the screen is not at the bottom. There is actually one message at hasn't scrolled up.

How has it gone? Aiming to do mine tomorrow

Not sure if I should go clean install or not...

I hate to say, but after 24 hours use I honestly feel my 5c is slower and laggy. Also getting a lot of stutter when scrolling which I never used to experience.

Can't afford to factory reset unless there's a way to do that and reinstate all my text messages without restoring from backup. Anyone?

Been using it for 15 hours and it feels absolutely fantastic. No lags! I chose to update using iTunes. And yes, when my phone alerted me for the update, the ota size was only 932 mb but since I updated using iTunes, it used over 2.5 GBs so just be patient if that happens in your case.
No complaints so far!
Good luck! 😊

Scrolling in which app? Safari, messages or any other? Working great at my end. Updated using iTunes.

All that I've used where I didn't notice it before. Facebook, safari, messages, WhatsApp, pretty much anything. Will have to try a factory reset but trying to find a way to do that and be able to restore all my texts, anyone know a way?

Well what I did was setup as new device then realize the key I needed was in the password app I was asked for to import the password app data.. Stupidly before updating my device I hadn't noted this down. This meant I then reset the device again only then selecting restore from an iCloud backup this restored my texts etc. I don't know if the first wipe followed by the restore made any beneficial difference over doing a straight restore at the start?

I went to update on release day, Wednesday, but it said it would take 3 hours on my Mac. I cancelled and by that evening I received notification that iOS 8 was downloaded on my 5C and ready to install. I got up Thursday morning at 5:30 am and did the OTA in about 10, maybe 15 mins and it was complete. Running smoothly with no complaints here☺

Just did the hubbys 5C last night as well.... So far he hasn't said a peep lol

 

[KennyMcCormack]

Same experience for me. When the new iOS is released, there is a huge demand on Apple's servers. Downloads, especially one this size (I think it was 964 mb) can take a long time. I've found it easier to just let it download on its own in the background when on WiFi.

I am facing battery drain issue on stand by. Around 10% an hour. Any ideas?
Thanks. 😊

I have, and haven't noticed any performance problems, or changes.

For how long have you been using ios 8? How's your battery life compared to when you were using ios 7?
Thanks.

I have been using IOS 8 since launch date. My battery life is the same, I generally get a full day out of a charge.
