What is apple doing to fix the bugs from IOS 7.1.2 update? this update has ruined my phone

What is Apple doing to fix the bugs from IOS 7.1.2 update??? This update has ruined my phone! Why would you put out a update you know is going to ruin someones phone? Whats being done? I have tried everything to fix my phone which was just fine before Apples IOS 7.1.2 update!!!

I have also experienced issues with my iphone5 since updating to ios 7.1.2, prior to this update my phone was working perfectly fine and I know I didnt cause any damage to the phone because I baby my iphone as if it was my child. Ever since I updated to 7.1.2 my phone shutts itself down while I am using it, it can be while using whatsapp, browsing the internet or using apps, more than anything it fails while using the internet. The screen will either start to flicker or vertical lines will pop up and then the phone will fade to black, after this happens the phone will get really hot and to turn it back on I have to wait 5-10 minutes and hold down the power and home keys at the same time for about 15 seconds for it to turn back on, I have to wait 5-10 minutes because if I dont when I boot it back up it immediately shutts down again. This is a constant all day thing and for now i get by just making phone calls and sending regular text but I try to keep the action down to a minimum to prevent missing a phone call. I tried clearing the phone and rebooting it to original setting but this didnt fix it. After reading and speaking with several techs they tell me that ios 7.1.2 rolled out some performance adjustments one particular that affects the amp levels that the battery works at and supposedly the iphone 5 cant handle it, they explained that the phone for certain activities is asking for more or less power and the phone panics into safe mode and shutts itself down. My battery life is fine so I havent changed the battery like someone had suggested. In the diagnostic data it gives a panic.ips error. Id really like to know if there is any possible way to roll back to 7.1.1 through jailbreak or any other way, I was perfectly happy with this phone and didnt plan on buying another one for atleast 1-2 more years. If anyone can help me out this would be greatly appreciated, if not I hope apple is working to fix this.

Disconnect the iPod from your computer and restart the computer. Reconnect iPod. Can you now update it?

HT201269 My husband bought me a new Iphone today and first sent my old Iphone to Icloud. Now I can't get my old apps, etc on the new phone. I'ts very frustrating.

My husband bought me a new Iphone today, but first backed up the old Iphone to Icloud. How do I download the old stuff. Have not been able to follow on-line directions. It's very frustrating. Give me my OLD PHONE BACK!!!

If you still have your old phone back it up via iTunes, then restore your new phone via the old phone's back up. Hope that makes sense.

HT4623 IOS6 update has messed my phone up

i have completed a software update and it has complelty wiped my phone and will now not allow me to activate now either over wifi or connected to itunes tells me unable to activate at this time please try later or contact customer support. i have connected to i tunes and wil not allow any restore or updates as it does not give the option.

OK, I suggest trying restoring and recovering. If those end up giving you the same "cannot activate" message, you should contact your cellular carrier. Here's how to do that:
Contact a mobile carrier

IOS 7.0.4 update has ruined my phone

Problems the second I update ios7.0.4 to my iPhone 5. At the beginning the phone blinked out, freeze then shutting down and reset itself. Non stop. Every five minutes freeze, blank out, then a few seconds later apple pops up. Reset the phone on computer, erased and started fresh, did not help. Finally it just quit and everything worked as normal . Was excited when I notice my battery wouldn't die. Stayed 90% all day. Then I found that was a lie. The only time my phone tells the real amount of battery is if you hard reset. Then you will see the battery life and the phone will stay at that new percent. I can tell when I'm down to 10% because the phone start to reset over and over as I use it. Once it is fully charged it will begin the same process with constant shut down until the battery dies enough and it will run normal till I hit 10% again. Can not use USB when plugging into radio because it also charges the phone which again causes it to reset itself over and over. Anyone else having this problem? Is there a solution?

Try these coupe of steps see if those help you.
1. Settings>General>Reset>Reset Netowrk settings OR Settings>General>Reset>Reset All settings.
2. Insted of updating try doing a clean restore, this slove most of the problems people are facing. Always prefer to do a clean restore rather than updating the iOS.

KitKat update has turned my phone into a brick. It won't turn on, and I can't get it to take a charge. HELP!!

My phone went through the Kitkat update about a week ago, and since I've ran out of battery with in 8 hours of taking it off a full charge, and now today It died, and I plugged it in, well it won't charge, and i can't get it to turn on at all. My phone is a brick right now and I really just don't understand what I can't do to fix it.

Don't do the update. My phone did the update and the droid laid on his back with an X and now all I get is the red logo. cant do a factory reboot or get into the ap menu just red logo. IT BRICKED MY PHONE I have had it since they came out and have been all over the world with it, and never had a problem until KITKAT BRICKED IT.
Verizon only response is to send me a refurbished phone that I will have to spend weeks to get it set back up to the way that I had it.
I am not happy with the response for their screw up. I don't want a refurbished phone I want my good phone to work and they don't know how to fix it just replace that is the support. I have seen the post on the net and I am not the only person that this has happened to in the android community.
If you want a good paper weight than do the update and take the chance.

New update has stopped my phone calls 080715

Oh, and I have deleted ALL of my texts and done a full reset and it didn't work. Called my carrier and they said it was Apple's problem.

HT4623 Update has installed for ios 7 - why can't I install it??

Hi There
Can anyone help, Keep getting message that the software update is unavaliable?? HELP!!
Thank you

The "unavailable" may have nothing to do with the setup on your end. The servers are crazy busy right now (everyone and their brother seems to be updating right at release, not sure why), so it could just be that it's having problems establishing a connection. May want to try it again later tonight or tomorrow.

Good luck, Friend.
Recovery mode requires an internet connection. LauraWoo uses the iPhone as the internet connection for their computer. Therefore, the computer does not have internet access, so your recommendation is incomplete.

5c in recovery mode will not restore or update - iTunes is current version - Completely lost and very frustrated :o(

My phone lately has been searching for service constantly, I would say that 80%of my day my phone is searching for service. There was a software update for I think 8.1.2, my phone didn't have enough storage, so I tried to do it through iTunes, when I did that, I got the connect to iTunes screen and couldn't get past it. So now I have put my phone into recovery mode and have run into nothing but issues. One iTunes will not let me update the software, secondly I can't restore it, I get a pop up saying something that my device isn't recognized. I'm completely lost and frustrated Need some suggestions...

Hello sarmath,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
From your post I understand that your iPhone is in recovery mode, and while trying to restore it in iTunes you are receiving an error message. While certainly a frustrating experience, there is troubleshooting you can do to get your iPhone back up in running order. Without a specific error message, the article below is where you can start. If possible, please provide the exact error message you receive when trying to restore your iPhone so I can give you some more in depth help.
