FaceTime freezes with iOS 8.1

I have been experiencing all kinds of issues since first downloading iOS 8.0 thriugh the update 8.1. Very upset. Today my issue is with FaceTime on iPad 2. If the call goes through, it frequently freezes up. ending call and recalls do not go through. Restarting sometimes resolves it. In addition, I can no longer switch camera view. Whenever I do, it freezes.
Any help would be appreciated. So frustrated now that I am considering going to Android!

HHe's. A simple visit to Settings, disabling and then immediately re-enabling the feature fixes the issue. But just for a while.
APPLE: Do you hear us? This should be a VERY easy issue to resolve. It's pervasive, well documented, and utterly annoying and frustrating. Please issue a fix ASAP.

Ipad 3 freezes with IOS 7.0.4 intermittently -- this started with upgrade to IOS 7.0 and is getting worse I have 64 gb wifi

Ever since I upgraded to IOS 7 and with each update since currently at 7.0.4 my iPad freezes up and the home key will not work and the only way out is to do a hard reset (power + home key held for approx 20 sec) and then your get the apple logo and it then takes approx 1 min then your log screen come back. It will work for sometime then it will lock up again. Happens approx once a day. I am also using a clam case with keyboard. I had a zagg keyboard but it stopped working due to the bluetooth issue with IOS 7 and was not stable enough. The Clam case so far had not had a problem ....yet.... but my problem still happens even if I have the keyboard turn off and just use the screen. I have seen it freeze with browsers and other apps not just wallpaper changes like I have see on the web that others had.
I have tried everything, clearing our memory, only filling up 1/2 way with apps, keeping my apps up to date, not running to many apps at the same time...etc
Any one still having issues like mine? Any word if Apple is coming out with a more stable IOS ?

Hey rmacbeth, I'm sorry to hear about your iPad troubles. It seems like with every major iOS release, these issues come up on older models (the iPad 3 is relatively new though...weird)
Anyways, it sounds like you've tried everything already and nothing seems to be working. If you're sure that it's a software issue with iOS and has nothing to do with your physical home button, I'd recommend restoring your iPad to factory settings by doing the following:
1. Make a backup of your iPad (just connect it and select the backup option in iTunes)
2. Next, select factory restore. It'll ask you to back up your iPad here if you haven't already.
3. Try quickly setting it up as a new iPad.
4. Try to duplicate the issue with the freezing, just use it for a day and see if it happens at all
5. If everything seeems to be working, restore again except this time, do it from the backup you made earlier
6. Try again to see if the issue comes up by using it normally in a day
7. If it does happen again, take it in to the Apple store to get it looked at as there may be some underlying software issue that a factory restore can't resolve
Again, sorry about your iPad, I hope you can resolve your issues quickly!

Multi-Gesture Screen Freezes with IOS 8.1

Random screen freezes and crashes are still occurring on my iPad Air when using the Multi-Gestures feature, after installing IOS 8.1. This problem started with IOS 8.0, continued with IOS 8.02, and is still present in IOS 8.1. Apple, please fix this! Having to reboot multiple times a day is very annoying. Turning the Multi-Gesture feature off obviously stops the problem but is not a real solution. If a feature is present, it needs to work right.

4s lagging all over with Apple and Non Apple apps freezing with iOS 8 and 8.0.2 never did before, plus lock screen lag, multitask lag on iPad mini as well

Well the next update fix all the lag and performance issues on the iPhone 4S and iPad mini? It seems that multitasking ways down the phone's performance.

IPad mini problems with iMessage and screen freezing with IOS 8.3 update

A word of advice ... Don't make changes before a deadline.
You can still downgrade to 8.2. Might be able to revert to previous version if the ideas below don't work.

IPad 3 A1430 lag and freeze with ios 8.1.2

Good morning , after updating in September my ipad to ios 8 , I have a device unusable.
Continuous blocks of the keyboard , slow applications , safari crash frequently.
Is not possible to have a similar bad situation.
I am very angry because is not possible go back to ios7.
I was go to an apple store but them was told that is not possible do anything.
I spent 400 € 1 year ago and now I have a device unusable.
Congratulations.....
I don't have a words...

When you say restore with iTunes do you mean "restore to Factory"? A simple restore does not replace the iOS image. A restore to Factory will reload the iOS software..
When you experience keyboard lags these are likely caused by a high priority system activity which is abnormally constantly running. This could be being provoked by some app you are using.

If nothing else works, you might try this one. It has worked for many others ...
Use iTunes to do a reset to factory default condition. Always be sure to do your backups before fiddling with your iPad. You might do both the iCloud and the iTunes backup, just to be sure!

Re: IPAD2 very slow after IOS 8 upgradein response to pacoKAS
SOLVED: IOS 8 Issues on iPad 2:
I just returned home from a visit to the Genius Bar. Like you and many others, when I upgraded my iPad 2 to IOS 8, it became practically unusable. It was VERY slow, lagged whenever trying to to do anything. Lots of screen freezes and apps spontaneously crashing. I was convinced that the processor on the iPad 2 just couldn't handle the new IOS and I went in to see about restoring to IOS 7.
Thankfully, I was hooked up with a very sharp guy at the bar. The problem is not with the OS, it is with it being an *upgraded* OS. He used the analogy of when you had an older Windows computer and how over time (and over upgrades), they just tended to get slower and slower because of all of the garbage that was carried forward in the upgrades. At those times (and if you've ever had a Windows computer, you get this), the only thing that would speed it up would be to wipe the machine and do a fresh install of the current OS and then reload your apps, and the viola, everything would be fast again. Well, it turns out that IOS can suffer the same problems.
THE FIX: FIRST, be sure you have a current iCloud backup of your device. Connect your iPad to a computer that has a clean fresh copy of IOS 8 on iTunes (this is best done with a computer other than the one that you sync your device to because you DO NOT want to restore it from a back up just yet). Ideally, if you do this at an Apple store you'll be assured of the right version there and someone to answer any questions you might have along the way. You then hold the power and home button down to hard-reset the device and continue to hold them down until it reboots into recovery mode. You then follow the instructions on the computer to reinstall the OS on the device (which wipes everything from it and then reinstalls a clean copy of it). Once this is done (which only takes about 15 minutes), your device will reboot and ask you to set it up. Answer the questions about language, location, etc. and continue until it asks you to log into your iTunes account. Once you do that, it will ask if you want to either 1) Set it up as a new device, 2) Restore from iCloud, or 3) Restore from iTunes. Choose (2), restore from iCloud. This will ensure that it brings down "clean" copies of all of your apps and preferences rather than the potentially corrupted ones that might reside in your iTunes backup. That's it! It will take a few hours depending on how much data and apps you have, but I am happy to report that my iPad 2 is now running IOS 8 and it's running as fast as it ever did when it was brand new!
To sum it up, this process 1) Wipes your device and the garbage causing your problems, 2) Loads a clean and bug-free version of IOS 8 to your device, and 3) restores your apps and data so that it looks just like it did before the wipe, with the exception that it works now! :-)
Note also that by following this process you don't have to go through the painful and laborious process of reloading all of your apps, data and/or settings. iCloud takes care of all of that for you.

Thanks for the help!

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Hi cltbox,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If your iPhone does not connect to a Wi-Fi network, but other devices can, try these troubleshooting steps first:
Be sure you're in range of your Wi-Fi router (access point).
Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and turn Wi-Fi off and on. If your Wi-Fi setting is dimmed, follow these steps.
Restart your iOS device.
Update your device to the latest version of software.
You can find the troubleshooting article with these steps here:

Safari iOS 8 freezes with keyboard shortcuts on iPad

Safari with iOS 8.0.2 installed freezes if I have one keyboard shortcut with two letters and another with the same two letters followed by a third, e.g., xx and xxz. If I want the text corresponding to the latter, as soon as I try to type the z, the z on the keyboard turns gray and Safari freezes. This was not a problem with iOS 7. Has anyone else experienced this?

My iPad is 3 years old. Prior to installing iOS8, it had never seized up, no matter how many tabs I'd had open. Since installing iOS8, Safari frequently freezes, no matter how many tabs I have open. In an effort to remedy this situation, I've reset my iPad several times from within Settings; I've reset my iPad several times by holding both the on/off & wake/sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple icon appears, thereby allowing the system to reboot; I've deleted numerous cookies from my iPad's memory ... and Safari continues to seize, usually while I'm in the middle of a wikia edit, though also in a Facebook post, and even in a prior Apple inquiry. Just what can I do to cease this vicious cycle? What is the solution to this iOS8 debacle?
