Complete nightmare on Iphone 4s and Ipad2. Hope they fix it and quick!

It's been fine on my 4S, but I have uploaded all my photos and taken off a fair amount of music and a lot of the apps I don't use that often to give it plenty of spare memory. It's always worth having a spring clean of your apps and make sure you do an [update all] of all your existing apps as developers have had to tweak them for iOS8. I'll add stuff back on as I go along, but no problems on my 4S so far.

I had a problem with Ios7 on vodaphone - 3G wouldnt work and could only access tinternet and apps with wifi. Vodaphone knew about the problem but took them 3 weeks to sort it out.

First rule with any new technology, wait a few months for all the bugs to be ironed out. If you wait, you get a better product. I don't know how many times people make these mistakes because nothing is ever going to be 100% perfect.

Wouldn't hold your breathe, why would they fix it for an inferior phone? Release new software, break older phones, make people buy their new £600 phone. It's Apple, they get away with it because people don't move to other products.

This is the difference between using Linux compared to Windows and Apple, everytime they bring out a new OS your required to upgrade your hardware. I'm still running the latest Linux distro on a laptop that's about 8 years old. The other thing, your waiting around for the next large update, on Linux bugs are pretty much sorted out as you go along due to the nature of the open system. Don't get me wrong, I tried my wifes IPad it was really nice to use, but the cost of Apples hardware is absolutely ridicolous. I certainly couldn't afford to spend £600 on a phone, and even if I could I would just feel as though I was being ripped off.

I think that's sensible, however you buy the previous model can you get the most out of the lastest OS, or do Apple slip in new features only available to new phones?

I'm still running a 10 year old Apple G4 iBook on OS10.4 (my daughter now uses for homework), an 8 year old MacMini I use as a media server connected to the telly running OS10.6, and a 7 year old MacbookPro running OS10.6. Each OS is up to date and runs smoothly on each machine. I've only been required to update my hardware if I've wanted something faster - nothing to do with new OS's coming out. In terms of longevity, and given I've bought some of these as refurbs or year old models, they've been bargains given how long they've lasted.

That interesting to hear because the impression I got was you needed the best. Either way if Linux didn't exist I certainly wouldn't use any Microsoft OS so Apple would need to be the next choice.
I'm too used to not having to worry about Spyware and Viruses, like yourself and having a machine that runs as well as it did when it was first installed.

I installed it yesterday on my 4s and every time I pressed the home button it acted like a double press and brought up the running apps screen.
I reverted it back to 7.1.

Just realised that the screen doesn't turn when you hold it horizontally, if you get my drift. Looked all through settings but can't fix it.

You sure the orientation lock isn't on? little padlock icon with an arrow around it next to the battery percentage?
