IPhone 4s and iOS 8 issues (only for Iphone 4s users)

I installed iOS 8 on the very release date and since that I encountered different issues:
I use to have more than one app opened - Mail, WhatsApp, Safari and Photos - and iOS sometimes crashes while I move from one App to another.
I encounter issues while I forward or rewind videos: It lacks of precision now.
The overall UI experience seems to be worsen: general sluggishness, for instance.
I had to solve this with some expedient in the accessibility section such as: reducing screen motion, reducing transparency to improve contrast. All this helps with the CPU usage but it don't solve much.
Battery draining.
Wow, this is a really important issue: battery on iPhone 4s now lasts very very few hours; its durability is really worsen... and please, also consider I'm not the kind of user who stays all the time on the phone.
Hope all these serious issues will be fixed in the next update, or at least with the 8.1.
BTW, if you Iphone 4s user are experiencing the same issues or other ones, please testify your experience here.
I'm sure Apple would be glad to know straight from the user base what's going on.

I updated to iOS 8.0.2 - some improvements in this release, folks:
The CPU manages better the multitude of opened apps and now I encounter less sluggishness;
Improved battery, or so it seems and...
... Overall UI improved
Still a lot to do, by the way. I can't wait for  iOS 8.1.

  • I am having issues with 360 degree rotation, I have an iPhone 5 and ios 6.0.2. I have read alot about this issue online and I found out that my issue is software. I want to know if and when apple will fix this issue?

    I am having issues with 360 degree rotation, I have an iPhone 5 and ios 6.0.2. I have read alot about this issue online and I found out that my issue is software. I want to know if and when apple will fix this issue?

    I had the same experience with a new iPhone 5 that I bought  last week. Did not have a chance to measure battery life before the 6.0.2 upgrade installed but I set up my phone exactly like my 4S and immediately started running out of power after short periods. Went to Xmas get together with fully charged 5 and 4S. Heading home the iPhone 5 shut down for low battery and the 4S had 65% power. Both phones had two half phone calls on then and no data usage.
    That night I fully charged the iPhone 5 and, without lighting it up, put it on my night table. Next morning I picked it up and looked at battery indicator and I had 42% charge with NO activity!
    Tried it again next night and wound up with 37% charge. (Slept longer).
    Today I called the carrier and reactivated the 4S.  Took the 5 to Apple Store and they kindly gave me choice of new replacement phone or refund. I took the refund. Uniquely, the Apple Store said it was Verizon CDMA phones that were coming back.
    The are other strings on this with temporary solutions, but from my experience with 7 firmware changes on an HTC 4G phone the problem will continue because the solution will be hardware caused. We are in the days where RTM means Rush to Market - not Release To Manufacturing.
    I fear the only solution is to either wait for the next model (I did not notice a really major change in performance over the 4S in LTE heavy Seattle area) - or switch to another manufacturer.
    It might be useful for these forums to indicate if you have a GSM or CDMA phone to see which have more problems.
    Discouraged....

    Nobody in the forums can tell you why Apple has done this.  It really makes no sense at all.  You can tell them you want it elsewhere as well via

    With iTunes 10 and iOS 5 synchronizing my iPhone (3GS) via USA and Wifi does not stop in the last step. Runs for hours. Even canceling takes forever.
    iPad2 sync is fine.

    This sounds like a problem you should take up with Apple Customer Support.
    The other users like yourself here are not going to be able to help you with this problem.

  • Adobe Ideas Crashes and no Adobe Draw for Iphone...

    Adobe Ideas Crashes and no Adobe Draw for Iphone...I just receive a email stating there will no longer be any support for Adobe Ideas which is fine if you have an alternative which would be Adobe Draw. Now problem number 1 Adobe Ideas is crashing so with that being said we can not use it even if we wanted to being that is the only vector app you offer for the iphone. Adobe is giving a deadline of November 21st. I think Adobe should at-least fix the issue before stating a deadline with adobe ideas or release us a version of Adobe Draw for the iphone this is very frustrating for a long time Adobe users of the apps and programs..you drop the ball on this one ADOBE. very disappointed.

    Wish I could help offhand but I'm on Android (which doesn't have Ideas anymore). Ideas produces vector files, no? Someone at the App Store site mentioned you can open the files produced in Ideas in something like SketchBook Pro (which can, in turn, produce raster file formats like PNG, JPEG and PSD).

    I am seeing if I can get another battery even though I do not believe that is the issue.  It keeps giving me vdd_under which I believe is under voltage, maybe it is just a faulty battery?  It charges up like normal and functions normal (when plugged in, or above 90%) but it gives under voltage warnings and shuts down when in heavy use (using camera or going back and forth to imessage).  When just sitting idle it doesn't seem to turn off until that 55-60% mark.  It may just be a faulty battery because I feel I installed all of the other cables correctly when replacing the screen, and I don't think those connections should affect the battery anyway except for maybe the logic board cable (the 2nd cable to be unplugged after the battery cable) I guess I could clean that out as well with isopropyl just in case.
    Any other suggestions would be helpful... and I will get back to you if a new battery helps.  Thanks!

  • When will the ios 7 update for iphone 3GS come???

    when will the ios 7 update for iphone 3GS come???

    As you know, iOS 7 applies to the iPhone 4 and above.
    I advise you not to ever expect iOS 7 for the iPhone 3GS.  Historically, Apple has never released a version of iOS that did not include some older hardware, and later come back to include that hardware.
