+1 here. Very noticeable.

Slow down big guy. I was just making a point. I have never seen my phone not get at least 3G. Mine never has gone below that so maybe I am in mostly good cell network areas.
I can confirm this bug.
No fix that I know of, other than Apple actually spending time making Safari usable.

I can confirm this bug as well.
Still seeing Bluetooth issues. Drops after a while. At least now it reconnects but it drops again after a minute or two. Big headache in the car with the stereo.
If you're experiencing issues, PLEASE take 1 minute to report it directly to Apple. DON'T rely on others to do it for you. It makes a huge difference if 100 people report it vs 1000. The more reports they get, the faster they'll recognize it's an issue and the quicker they'll work to resolve it.

Wow it is pretty confusing... So Handoff encompasses AirDrop? Why is Yosemite on my MBA saying that I can Airdrop to iPhones and iPads around me then? Why does Airdrop now require Bluetooth, it was not the case before... when I was using it between 2 Macs. Oh and my Air is BLE enabled, not sure why Apple refused it the Airdrop "new wave" treatment... Sounds like they made it quite messy?

Also this doesn't explain why iPad 4 and iPhone 6 dont AirDrop to each other, does it? has somebody managed to make it work?
For you, maybe. For me, not so much. And there are others who still have copy / paste problems, too.
So I wouldn't categorize it as "fixed" quite yet.
In iOS 7, DND is supposed to give people who call you a waiting signal (not answering).
Now in iOS 8, instead it give people who call a busy tones (same with blocked call function). This is defeating the purpose, since that same people will keep trying to call you. So when we set the Repeated Call function on, it will ring.

Restored as new and first time from all iOS releases noticed huge battery drain. 2 hours usage, 13 hours standby and left only 43% :O
I have this problem with 8.02: Updating apps doesn't dim them with the clock like animation. 8.1 doesn't fix it either.
This is on a iPhone 6 that came with 8.0 out of the box and I updated to 8.02 then 8.1.

my quick reply from the home screen banner or lockscreen doesn't seem to be working.
If i slide to the left and click reply the keyboard will show but then it freezes and wont let me type or respond.....
anyone else have this issue as well?
i have an iphone 6 plus.

Did you activate iCloud photo library? If so it will drain your battery uploading photos.
Well... I used this feature a lot on iOS6. I got almost 50% more battery time using Edge instead of 3G. That's a good reason.
You should be knowing that "iOS 8.1" has not been added to the dropdown list there yet.
Anyone else have this bug? When opening the camera app on my i6 (from closed, not running in background) the first photo I capture has no shutter sound, but all the ones after It does.
Thanks,
Adam.

Update to IOS 8.1?.......... No chance!!!
This is the first time i've not updated my iPhone since owning them from the very start.
I currently have no issues with 8.0.2 and reading the reports of many, to be honest has frightened the ****e out of me.
Wifi issues
Freezing issues
Respring issues
Battery issues
As someone else posted, you will always get a higher majority of people posting complaining about something than people taking the time to report whats working well.
My only gripe now is that annoying notification badge on my settings icon pleading with me to update.........

That's fine. They don't ever update that quickly. They'll still funnel it to where it needs to be. State that you're using 8.1 in the comments.
Actually maybe updating as soon as it drops may be a good idea. Then you can go back if things are not working as expected. After a few days Apple stops signing old versions then you cannot go back. As for 8.1 verses 8.0.2, it is definitely better on iP6. Even the beta 2 was. Wifi definitely faster now if you look at speedtest results. No battery issues, no freezing and no resprings for me. Of course there will be some out there who may be having some of these issues. I had several on 8, then a few on 8.0.2 but none on 8.1. FWIW
