Ios 8 today

[kingalfred]

Has anyone installed on iphone yet? I will wait , want to know how it affects battery life

[MJCM]

I started upgrading my iPad but I cancelled after the remaining (download) time increased from 14 to 18++ hours.

I will wait a couple of days and start again.

Ps: Update for my iPad (Air) is around 1.2Gb so I expect the update for the iPhone to be approx the same size, so start removing stuff if you don't have the space available.

A lot on twitter saying there's major issues with it. it deletes all your photos.

That's one of the reasons if you upgrade (anything) you first should BACKUP (or Sync with the Cloud) your Data.

Edit 1: Added PS

Ps: Found this (maybe relevant)

http://www.tuaw.com/2014/09/17/you-have-to-delete-your-photos-twice-in-ios-8/

If you've successfully updated your iPhone or iPad to iOS today you'll notice a change in the way the system deals with your photos. Instead of immediately deleting them when asked, the photos you choose for elimination fall into a "Recently Deleted" folder, where they remain for up to 30 days before actually being deleted.

Once photos are deleted and caught in the new album you can select them again and either restore them to your camera roll or actually delete them so they can't be found again.

This is either a great thing -- if you've ever accidentally deleted a precious photo, you know that a safety net would have helped -- or just a needless additional step, if you're the kind who frequently clears out your photo albums and simply doesn't want to do it twice.

Also found this, so I think a lot to do because of nothing

Apple released the update Wednesday, sending customers in a blind fit of rage upon realizing they'd have to delete apps, photos and music basically everything they have ever been and ever will be to make room for the software upgrade.

I literally deleted almost 3,000 pictures off my phone yesterday so I could get IOS8... but now it's saying I don't have storage oh

http://mashable.com/2014/09/17/ios-8-update-twitter-reactions/

So my guess is that the upgrade doesn't delete the pictures but the users do to create space for the upgrade, because they don't have the space available

And I read it uses 4.9gb storage space to install. no thanks

I will let you know tomorrow, but I think that is the max. space needed for upgrade (expand the upgrade file). After that it will delete the files not needed, but again, I will let you know tomorrow.

Updated earlier today on an iPhone 5s. Took around 15 minutes including download. So far didn't notice any problems. The predictive keyboard is nice though!!

[MJCM]

WOW 15 minutes of downloading, I bet you are not in Thailand

I just checked again and for my iPad it's 15 hours+ and for the iPhone around the same.

Will wait

In Thailand. Using a 13mb 3BB account. I guess 3BB already stored the update on a local server for fast download.

I am using my TOT line at the moment, will switch to my 3BB line immediately and report back

Question, did you do a OTA Upgrade or via iTunes ?

OTA. Haven't used iTunes since I went from iPhone 5 to 5s a year ago.

[MJCM]

I have switched lines and it's coming in FAST via 3BB (Via iTunes btw, iPad download is approx 2.01 GB )

Thanks

Re: Battery

My iPad last night had 89% battery left, this morning when I woke up, (almost noon ) it had 84% left. SO that's good.

There is only one thing that bothers me, why is Bluetooth enabled after upgrading your firmware even when it was disabled before upgrading ??

[villagefarang]

I believe their default is to enable both wifi and bluetooth for optimum functionality. I just turn them off until I have use of them. I like the new information on battery usage and lots of little things I am discovering.

[NoBrainer]

O.K. So if you download the update and instal it through iTunes, as apposed to doing an update on the actual device, you will not need the 4 or 5 Gig available space to install it. It will only need about 1.5 Gig free.

Secondly, when I updated I thought I lost all of the photos in my Photo Stream. I had them backed up, so I wasn't too concerned, but after a few hours, I noticed

that missing Photo Stream photos were actually slowly loading them selves into the new photos app, although the Photo Stream folder is gone, it was adding and mixing the photos from all of my devices into the main photo catalogue. It did take about 24 hours to complete this process, but was done in the background.

As for the battery life, it seemed to take a small hit, but maybe that was partly to do with the photos being added for an extended period. Seems about the same after a few days of usage.

The problems now are very Flaky Wi-Fi syncing. It keeps losing the devices and I have to re-connect them again with the cable. After a few hours it loses them again.

I did the upgrade about a week before the release (when the final version was released to developers) so people upgrading now, might find the photo sync issue even much slower, but I thing that they will show up in a few days.

Hi,

I've installed it on my iPad, it hasn't deleted the photo's, they are still in the timeline, but it HAS deleted the albums!

Install took about an hour, including the download, which was 1.37GB

Grabbit

[grabitanrun]

Oh - one more thing, it needs 8GB of free space to install - get cleaning up guys!

[2008bangkok]

For those with the battery brain look in location> system services and turn off all that are not needed

[lcp0761]

A lot on twitter saying there's major issues with it. it deletes all your photos.

Negative --- it does not delete your photo's.

Got it and have extensively used it. There are bugs but no major concerns.

[Franky Bear]

Would back it up on itunes >> restore factory setting >> Update >> reinstall previous settings work?

Franky what are you trying to do ??

Restore your Pictures ?

How did you do your upgrade ? OTA or via iTunes ? iTunes automatically creates a backup before upgrading.
