You cannot restore to 6.1.3. Apple does not support downgrading. Go into Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings and that should help your performance. It will not affect your data, but will delete wifi passwords.

I have an iphone 4S model with IOS 7.1.2. Do I need to download IOS v8.0?

Craig,
Your analogy is excellent! Perfectly captures the opinion I have heard from many. The reason that I have encouraged you to update is because really I, personally, have never experienced an issue with an update, and neither has my signifiant other. Call us lucky! I will not lie to you and say that that means that all updates are going to flawless -- far from it. Many people, as you described, find themselves in the exact situation described by your analogy, and they take to the internet to describe and outline these problems. It is unfortunate that iOS 8 has been such a buggy release for so many, and disheartening that Apple has not yet found a solution for some of these major bugs.
I do ask you to remember though that most of what you find when looking for opinions on iOS 8 will be people having problems with their device -- those whose update went through perfectly have no reason to question it, and thus it can make it seem like everyone writing on iOS 8 is having a problem. There is most definitely a large amount of people with problems after the update, but most likely an equally large amount of people who did not have problems and simply didn't post about it.
My significant other is not a heavy user. She uses her phone an average amount, but she most definitely does not rely on it as much as you have outlined above. I do not want to deceive you into thinking that just because she had no problems that means that you will not encounter any either. To answer your question, she updated about a week after each release of iOS 8 (iOS 8.1, iOS 8.1.2, etc.)
I also do not want you to think that I am a completely neutral party either. I am a fan of Apple, I will admit to that, but trust that I try to speak from as unbiased a position as I possibly can.
As far as your concerns with Apple go, I hear you. Many people would agree with you. Apple markets itself with the concept of flawlessly functioning devices, and that means that for some, when issues do occur, it is even more than just a bug because they bought the device on the promise of it flawlessly functioning. Yes, the functioning factor is part of the reason behind the higher prices of Apple products, but remember you also get a one year hardware warranty and over the phone assistance, access to the Apple Store and Genius Bar (both of which have excellent customer service, a fact that is widely agreed upon), as well as features such as iCloud storage. Widespread bugs like the ones that have occurred with iOS 8 are uncharacteristic of Apple, but in the end they will make mistakes, it is how they fix them that characterizes the company.
From everything that you have stated, here is my solution for you: If your phone works right now, it works. It will continue to work if you do not update, that is guaranteed. What is not guaranteed is that if you update, the phone will function even better. Both you and I are aware that iOS 8 has caused just as many issues as it has resolved -- updating here is a gamble, if you rely on your phone as much as I am thinking you do, it is probably better to take the safer route that guarantees the phone will work. Keep in mind, iOS 8.2 is right around the corner. More bug fixes may be introduced, and that may be a better time to update.
You bring up some excellent points. In the end, this decision is all up to you. I'm just a guy on the internet with some strong opinions!

Jeg kan ikke indlæse min eksterne tastatur - Logitech Ultratynd KB cover - har jeg brug for at gendanne iOS 7.1.1 / Bo
Complete the setup by setting it up as a new iPhone, without restoring your backup. Then update it to iOS 8 using iTunes on your computer (see Update the iOS software on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support). After it's updated, you can eject it from iTunes and disconnect it from your computer. Then erase the phone by going to Settings>General>Reset and tapping Erase All Content and Settings. That will bring you back to the original setup screens, where you follow the prompts and this time choose Restore from iCloud Backup and restore the backup of your old phone (more details here: iCloud: Restore or set up your iOS device from iCloud).

IPhone 3G drops phone signal. Restore IOS?
Having upgraded to an iPhone4S, my wife inherited my old 3G. It has worked fine for years, but now in the past few weeks it will lose all phone signals, showing just "Searching...". WiFi is fine. Going to Airplane Mode and back doesn't help; only rebooting (turning off and then on) will restore the signal, full bars, fine for a day or so. This is in my house, with a good signal, and my 4S never drops it, so it's not a signal issue. Nor hardware, or why does a reboot bring it back? I'm thinking I should reinstall the IOS. Does a full reset to factory keep the existing IOS? I am fully up-to-date with whatever version 3G is up to. I want to reinstall it fresh: restoring it from a backup will only put back whatever problem it has, no? The various support pages are not clear on this. Mr. Google shows me some pages on how to revert to an older IOS; if I tried that, I would then automatically be presented the opportunity to update to latest, correct? I use Win7-64bit iTunes, though I have access to a Mac. TIA.
In this post you mentioned being an Ex-Genius, which I understood to mean you used to work for Apple. If so we should be asking you this question...
But that aside, I wonder if the network is dropping you back to Edge assuming there is no need to clog up the network with sleeping phones during high load times. Then when you wake your phone, it tries to jump from Edge to 3G and that is what you are seeing. Just Guessing here....
Also perhaps your battery being as low as is indicated caused the phone to go to deep power saving mode...

My phone will not let me download the most recent update for iOS 7.1. It says I need a wifi connection and will not allow me to push the 'Download & Install' button, even when I am at home and my wifi is on. How do I fix this?
Unfortunately yes, though technology would never move on if it kept to older standards and did not strive to do more.
The app store always gives you the option to use a previous version of the app IF it is available for your device.
Sorry but you are stuck without new hardware.

I have a 4S and just tried updating to the latest iOS version and my phone went into recovery mode and iTunes says I need to restore to factory settings. Anyone know how I can fix my phone without losing all my content?
You would only be able to restore to a backup to iCloud or iTunes:
Restore from Backup

Use iPhone as designed. Like any digital camera, download your photos to your computer and delete from the iPhone to create space required for iOS upgrade.

Just wondering why my comments on Facebook do not show via iOS. Is there any setting I need to make on my iPhone 5,I love this phone. Thanks
Someone else may have a workaround, but, as far as I know, if you cannot interact with the screen on the iPhone, there is no way to unlock it so you can get to your contacts.
Were you saving them to iCloud by chance? If so, you can restore them to your new phone.

update IOS 7.1 came to my phone today and it says it cant download needs 1.9 GB of space - I have 4.9 GB of space on the phone
If you have not set up iCloud backup or backed up using iTunes, all data on the phone was lost once it entered recovery mode.
Your only option is to restore it and start new.

I heard about all the problems with the new iOs 7 update but also heard Apple would force me to do it. I tried to update but didn't have enough space. Had to delete ALOT of my apps and still not enough space. Phone was working perfectly fine and message pops up that "I will not have any service until I restore to iTunes. I plug into laptop to restore and it forces me to update to iOs7. Takes 3 hours. It updates but phone doesn't restore. Have tried all the troubleshooting tips:reset to factory settings, recover etc. Got a new SIM card because it said I don't have one but I do. Apple support wouldn't help me because I was out of warranty, and said I would have to pay. Went to the Apple store and they couldn't fix it and said "it's a hardware issue" that will cost me $170.00+. I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT THE NEW iO7 FRIED MY PHONE'S HARDWARE. The phone is on the HELLO stage and keeps searching but will not activate to server- it's temporarily unavailable. Have tried multiple times.I have a 3 year contract with Rogers and the phone is less than 2 years old. Apple needs to take responsibility for crashing my phone. I NEED A FREE NEW PHONE!!!
Restore it to factory settings, then set it up from your back up. Did this last year when I got my new iPod, and it worked. I have no idea why syncing OTA can sometimes glitch, but hopefully this will help.
