Any fixes? iPhone 6 plus 8.3 update rendered this phone useless

purchased 4 of these iPhone 6 plus models 2 weeks ago Tmobile user. Hate hate hate them. Installed the latest updates and now calls get dropped and the LTE network that was slow to begin with is so slow that infound myself borrowing a friends phone just to geg directions and had to write them down! Making this device useless I'm paying close to 4 grand for 4 fancy pieces of plastic which work as well as my kids toy phone. Useless useless useless. So mad. ( Also wifi although it states it is on at the top of my iphone yet when using it for maps or internet search states that I do not have a connection to the server. I even went as far as to call my provider YES it's working fine on all my other wifi equipment in the house ). I turned phone on off turned wito on off I reset data connection per T-Mobile cusy service. Nope still not working. trouble shooting this B.S. Is a full time job which I am not getting credit for nor am I getting paid to do. I want my money back! keypad ***** in recognizing what I want to type. It constantly changes my text and find myself spending extra time in having to edit my posts texts. I wind up sending stuff knowing there is error simply because I don't have time to fix the blessed errors.

tried reinstalling 8.0 but itunes is telling me that my firmaware is not even compatible

Sounds like you have a phone that was hacked to unlock it. Updating has re-locked it to the original carrier. ONLY the carrier it is locked to can authorize unlocking it. Contact them.

I tried to sync music from iTunes to my iPhone and when I click on "on this phone" the songs are there, but they are greyed out and have a circle in front of them. I can not click on those songs and when I eject the phone they are not on the phone.

I tried to sync music from iTunes to my iPhone and when I click on "on this phone" the songs are there, but they are greyed out and have a circle in front of them. I can not click on those songs, delete or anything and when I eject the phone they are not on the phone. I tried to re-add the songs and it says it can't add songs because they've already been added. So HOW can I get the songs to actually ADD to my phone to where I can listen to them? It's like they're stuck in Sync limbo or something! Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I am having the same problem. I have just tried this. Unplug iphone > open itunes > delete all music from itunes library > close itunes > re-open itunes > add music from original folder > plug in iphone > select songs > press sync > unplug iphone using eject button onscreen > checked phone .... still nothing in music folder on phone. On itunes the "On this iphone" tab the songs remain there but greyed out.

My iPhone recently broke so I was sent a brand new iPhone to replace it, however, since receiving this phone, I cannot access anything which was previously backed up onto iCloud from my last iPhone. Please help me!

If you are trying to restore to an iCloud backup, this has to be done during the initial setup process. If your phone is already set up, you will have to go back to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content & Settings, then go back through the setup screens again and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud Backup (see image below). Be sure your phone is connected to wifi and your charger as this will take some time to complete.
Also, your replacement phone must be running the same iOS version or higher to restore to your backup. If you are running an older version of iOS than the device that was backed up, your backup will not be visible when you choose to restore to your iCloud backup. If this is the case, you'll have to update your replacement phone first.

Language change is no problem, you can switch to anything in the tech specs.

The passcode is the answer to the prompt "Enter Passcode" that you are very likely seeing.
If not, you need to help us by telling us the exact symptoms of what you are seeing.

IPhone 6 Plus 128 Availability Updates (will be updating as I continue making contact with Verizon and Apple retailers)

I figure I would compile a list of things I have heard from Verizon reps as well as Apple retailers for anyone curious
First Contact: Verizon Wireless Preorder 9/12 for 6+ 128 Space Gray made at 12:17am PST at full-retail. Small chat with representative about placing order. "Deliver By: 9/19" throughout ordering and on confirmation page. Email confirmation 1:52am, with delivery date changed to 10/7.
Second Contact: Online Chat with Verizon rep about order. Verizon rep confirms nothing more than what the email stated, and what the "Status Update" on the VZW Website provides (an infinite "your order is processing, no shipping date available").
Third Contact: Direct message to Verizon rep. Also completely useless. Does not provide any more information regards shipment.
Fourth Contact: Call up Verizon Customer Service. Woman reiterates shipment date, but also adds that my order processed at 1:52am - the same time my email confirmation was sent. So 2+2 means that whenever confirmation emails are received is when your order is processed.
Fifth Contact: Call up Verizon Customer Service again. Ask more about my shipment and why it would be that others who placed their orders for the exact copy of my phone after me, received tracking numbers before me. Was told that it depends on which warehouse your order was sent to. Some warehouses have more of certain phones than others. Ask what the random number for my order location translated to geographically (city, state) and was told that as part of a non-disclosure agreement that information cannot be released.
Sixth Contact: Call up local Verizon Wireless Retail Location. Representative states that 6+ 128 models will not be available in store at all for 9/19. Suggests that perhaps Best Buy will have the phone in stock on release day.
Seventh Contact: Call up Best Buy and manager was kind enough to explain that pre-orders made through Best Buy are actually pulling from the inventory from the store. Also explains that 6+ models are not even able to be pre-ordered because of lack of supply via Apple and therefore will not be in store locations at all.
Eighth Contact: Call up different Verizon Wireless Retail Location. Representative explains that in-store locations will not know which models will be available in-store until the night before, because the shipments have not been made yet, much less fulfilled.
Ninth Contact: Call up ANOTHER Vzw Retail Location. This was the most helpful representative of all. This rep explains that no matter WHAT kind of shipment the corporate stores receive, these phones are reserved for people who upgrade/add a new line/etc, and will not be sold to people who opt for the month-to-month option for full retail.
Tenth Contact: Call up another Best Buy location. Rep doesn't know much of anything.
Eleventh Contact: Call up Apple Store located inside of a mall (because I cannot feasibly wait in a line overnight; I have twin 18mos old sons, so an in-mall location seems like my best option). Rep does not know what mall procedure will be as far as lining up. Does not know quantity of phones coming, but does know that EVERY model will be available for purchase at first-come-first-serve.
Twelfth Contact: Call up another in-mall Apple Store location. No lines inside of mall (duh), and nearest entrance door will be opened prior to mall hours at 8am. All models will be available for purchase in store in unknown quantities. Check out process takes 15-20 minutes, including transfer of all information from one phone to the new phone. If I do not want to wait in line in store, I can call the store location and make my order over the phone at 8am and pick it up in store later that day with my confirmation number and ID.
So that's that then. I plan to try and get my hands on a phone this Friday by going to an indoor Apple location, and if I am successful I will be cancelling my Verizon order regardless if I get a tracking number by then or not (although I doubt I will). I know that most VZW Reps are responding from prompts, but you think that the prompts would provide the same response for the same questions, or even that Verizon would have come out with an official statement regards this whole mess. I guess that's asking for too much, though.
What's everybody else's plans and experiences? Inspired or made aware of anything from my experiences?

Yeah, that's a possibility but after the responses from the Apple locations and the guarantee that my model will be available for purchase at FCFS, I don't think I'll have much to do with Verizon locations regards it all.
I think the reason you're receiving yours on Friday is you are east coast whereas I am west coast. I think there was some truth to the Fifth Contact's response and that it also depends on the warehouse the order is coming from. My warehouse is more than likely different than yours and probably has a larger demand/smaller supply than your warehouse.
I live in Southern California, and my county alone has 3.1M people. The four surrounding counties have 10M people, 2.3M people, 2.1M people, and 3.2M people. iPhone is king out here as far as phones, so I'm chalking it up to supply/demand in my warehouse, and that my order was processed much later than many others in my area.
I'll check back on my order tomorrow and Thursday, but unless I have a notice that shows it going out for delivery on Friday by being at my local FedEx facility, I'm going to an Apple store, getting a phone there, and cancelling my order with Verizon.

What solutions are available for fixing iphone 6 plus 128gb with continuous reboot (700 apps)

Upgraded iPhone 5 64gb phone to iPhone 6 Plus 128gb and phone went into cycling reboot. Have 1260 apps installed on iPhone 5 with flawless functionality using IOS 7.1.2. Apple Genius Bar unable to get working and since phone was bought at Apple online, could only offer refund, as an exchange phone would not be able to be returned if problem existed on exchanged phone.Something to do with my phone coming directly from China, even though Apple recommended having an easier buying experience using the internet. BTW, 3 employees that I was handed off to said they had never seen this symptom, even after doing Google search in front of me showing a good number of reports of this issue. Are employees hiding this situation from customers or just not engaged in Apple products to be knowledgeable of current issues?
Some dialogue indicates that there may be iPhones with MLC NAND flash memory instead of the cheaper TLC NAND flash memory that may solve this issue. How can I request this hardware fix? Does Apple notify distributors of serial numbered devices that have this upgrade? Are distributors able to offer this upgraded hardware to the end users that happen to fall in this statistically low percentage group that need this type of fix to return functionality to their purchase?
Coincidentally, my iPad2 (64gb) developed the exact same symptom when I upgraded from 7.x.x to 8.1.1 (which was purported to fix this problem) which suggests that it is linked to the 8.x code in some way). I was able to return functionality by restoring from a backup (thru iTunes) and limit apps to 468 installed.
By my iPhone 6 Plus being returned with no warranty exchange, I fear that no data was collected to further the need for Apple to gather an appropriate degree of accurate information to process this need respectfully.
Frustrated (and loyal owner of every iPhone to date) and looking for answers.I am forced to continue use of iPhone 5 with 7.1.2 (no hope of going to 8.x) and somehow being cut out of group that had battery recall with this phone needing 3 charges/day and NO upgrade path at the moment.

I had the same problem, crashes every 5 minutes or more. Apple support did as if it was my problem with apps, no hardware problem. I did return the iPhone and are using my old iPhone 5 again, with all my apps and IOS 8.1.1, no problems, no crashes. Now I think of a Samsung Note Edge, was a Apple supporter since iPhone 3.

Iphone 6 plus Notification in landscpe mode when phone is locked condition

I have iphone 6 plus iphone. When I keep phone in landscpe mode in locked condition; I want to see notification in landscpae mode for application like email,phone, messege etc. which I have enabled in notofication centre.
I observed all notification in lock mode comes in portrait orintation.Is this possible.

For me, it was as simple as that lock button, which I'd not noticed before, but yes, a hard restart usually fixes most issues. I did a restart first, so it spooked me when even that didn't work; which is why I posted.
I've also downloaded 8.2 and feel that it has fixed a few bugs I'd noticed. love the phone too. My case finally came, it's the Griffin Reveal; picked it up from that big online retailer.
The Plus has had some tough press for some reason, but I love it!

Iphone 6 plus: Status not available at this time

I Pre-ordered my Iphone 6 plus 16gb space gray. The morning of the pre-order being available. First it told me a date of 10/14 for delivery. One day later it changes saying that the date is not available at this time. Is there anyone at Verizon that can look this up for me. It is pretty pointless to have a pre-order that does not actually come out on release day.
Thanks
Dylan

DylanN6695, I'm sorry for the confusion with your ship date. I have sent you a direct message. Please reply to the direct message so I can review your order status.
