Touch ID issue with iPhone 5S iOS 8/8.0.2

Hello,
After updating my iPhone 5S to iOS 8 I have been experiencing Touch ID problems where it does not recognize my finger and says "try again" even after 3 tries. This never happened to me in the iOS 7 its almost always instant and always correct in the Touch ID. Infact I had been bragging about it to all my mates here as to how the Apple build quality is in regard to their flagship phones. I have updated to the iOS 8.0.2 today and again experiencing the same issues with the Touch ID and now it was so annoying I removed all my finger prints off the phone and tried again by placing my fingers on the Touch ID button to register my prints. Even after successfully registering Im experiencing the same problems again. I have disabled Touch ID for the time being and using the conventional pass code method to unlock my phone. Hopping to hear from you guys.
Cheers,
M.
iPhone 5S - 16GB
iOS 8.0.2
P.S - I did a complete update from iTunes for both iOS 8 and iOS 8.0.2 downloading the entire OS both times to install them and did not do it from the phone.

My wife has a problem with touch ID even before iOS 8 was released. Our theory is its because she works in medical office she is frequently washing her hands which causes dry skin. To combat the dryness she has to use lotion to moisturize her hands. I think it's the combination of dry hands and lotion that is causing the problems. On the same phone I never have a problem with touch ID nor do I have a problem with dry hands so it would seem the problem is not with the phone itself but the texture of her fingerprints combined with the use of lotions. It's not that her fingerprints change but the minute cracks that develop, heal, and reoccur thus the fingerprint reader is picking up those subtle changes. What the solution is I don't know although it does seem to get worse as the air gets dryer. That maybe of no help to you whatsoever but something to consider.

WiFi issues with iPhone 4S & ios 6 update

Okay here is my issue...
I've been reading alot of issues that people have with connecting to WiFi with their new iPhone 5, iPhone 4S or other devices but I have no trouble connecting to WiFi at all. My problem is that WiFi wont 'work'. The WiFi I'm hooked up to at home doesn't let me do basically anything that requires internet.
I can get on the Facebook app fine and my newsfeed loads but I can't see Facebook notifications, upload photos or videos, read inboxes, look at photos, its very slow etc.
I can't get into the App Store or iTunes at all. It says it 'Cannot Connect to iTunes Store' when I try.
I can't upload photos onto Instagram
Currently I'm into the Simpsons Tapped Out game and I can't go onto it at all.
And there are a few other minor issues I am having.
All these things I can do with my Telstra 3G network however and it ***** because I want to use and do all these things but I have to use my 3G and I've just recently gone over my data monthly usage and been charged extra which I'm not happy about.
So is anyone else having these issues or is it just me and I'm stuffed? I'd REALLY love some help.
I've been lost with what to do because as some are having WiFi issues as well, mine isnt the same and it's hard to find answers or just other discussions.
Please Help!
Thankyou.

I am having the same issue since updating to iOS 6. It has been noticeable on my iPhone 4S and a little less noticeable on my iPad 3 but I think it is happening on the iPad too. Very annoying problem. One way to get it to work better is to re-boot your phone. It will work for awhile then and then eventually not be working anymore and you will need to re-boot again.
Just to be clear with everyone - the iPhone looks like it is connected to the wireless, it gets an IP address but can't transmit any data. Device: iPhone 4S, OS: iOS6

My Top Issues with iPhone 6 + iOS 8.0.2

I'm having a bevy of issues with my new iPhone 6 and iOS 8.0.2... I thought I'd put some of these out to stud, as those smarter than I have found resolves for... I'd love to enjoy this device, but some of the issues are completely off-putting. They are as follows:
1. Email is setup to push, however when it is read on the computer, the notification no longer disappears from the lock screen until the phone is unlocked. Prior to upgrading, the notifications would immediately disappear when the emails were opened on the desktop. There seemed to be perfect sync between the mobile device and email interface.
2. The lingering notification "1" on top of the Settings icon. Not sure how to get rid of it, but combed through and don't have any outstanding updates or backups.
3. Certain applications arbitrarly lag or freeze (i.e. Facebook, Mail, etc...). Applications either shut-down or restart. Happens less frequently, but more so than previous device/iOS.
4. Text message and email searches don't work. If I type in the name of a contact in Messaging, unless it's a very recent contact - it doesn't populate with results. Same is roughly the case for email.
Any ideas on the above? Thanks guys.

The transference of software between devices can come with problems. The only way to overcome those issues is troubleshooting. I'm sorry it is too much of a hassle to ensure your device is in proper working order. It is far less of a hassle then dealing with problems and complaining about them. Good luck with your device.

Issue with Iphone 6 iOS 8.1.1 - Bluetooth Connectivity

Bluetooth connection in Honda CRV continously drops and is not consistent.
Any resolution to fix this issue?

I have the same issue with my iPhone 6 & 2012 Civic. Prior to iOS 8.1.1 the bluetooth always worked flawlessly, even with my iPhone 3G and 4S. Worked fine with my iPhone 6 until the 8.1.1 update. Removing and re-establishing the connection has not helped.
Apple, please please please:
Issue a patch ASAP fixing this and other bluetooth issues. This issue IS IMPACTING MY BUSINESS. I rely on the bluetooth capability of my iPhone to conduct business while in the car during my ~120min of commuting each day.
Provide the ability to roll-back to a previous version after an update. I understand the desire to tout the adoption rates of new iOS releases. But that is sure to begin declining as more people upgrade only to encounter issues that did not exist previously.
Thank you.

Any issues with latest 2014 ios update & Straight Talk

Hi, I've been with straight talk for about 2 weeks without any problem - switching --porting--pics.....all went well . Now my phone ( iPhone 3c) shows iOS update waiting..
Due to all I have read here & there,I'm a bit uneasy to do the update. Has anyone had any issues with lates t2014 ios update using ST? Will it affect the working of the phone if I don't do update? Thanks for any input.

Hi, Glad that worked for you. I don't know why this is happening other than to offer an opinion. This hardware acceleration was causing an issue with the previous version of FP also. I think that this technology is ready but the websites are not, youtube included.
The same thing happened with Flash Player for the mobile phones, Android in particular. Adobe was ready but had to wait on Google to catch up. So the users thot Adobe was at fault, but that wasn't the case. Google had to update and that was done with their 2.2 update. This is not an opinion however. I followed this because users were coming here asking why Flash Player wasn't available for their Android:-)
Adobe/Microsoft/Mac/Linux are all involved and if one advances a particular technology that effects the others, then each one must make a change for that technology to work. At least that's how I see it.
Thanks for marking your thread as answered

Go to iCloud.com on a computer. To see them on your iPhone go to iCloud.com in Safari. Tap the URL field. Pull favorites down and tap request desktop site. Sign into your iCloud account. Now you can view iCloud Drive or Photos if you turned on iCloud Photo library.

Itunes 11.1.5 will not sync new apps with iPhone 5 iOS 7.0.6 and gives grayed out "install" no message? How does one work around this?

Itunes 11.1.5 (MacBook Pro,OS 10.6.8) will not sync new apps with iPhone 5 iOS 7.0.6 and gives grayed out "install" no message? How does one work around this?

Just reboot your laptop... While its rebooting try to reboot your phone also by holding the home and power buttonn for 10-15 seconds...When your phone is turned off try to connect it to iTunes and it will recognize your phone in recovery mode.
If you have the .ipsw file for iOS 7.0.6 saved in your desktop then in itunes press shift and click on Restore.
Select the ipsw file and let it restore.
If you dont have it downloaded then simply click on restore.
I hope it works
Cheers !

I am having issue with iphone 5 bluetooth , not able to connect honda CRV

I am having issue with iphone 5 bluetooth , not able to connect to my honda CRV

Don't know if you could consider this an Apple issue. I know you are probably frustrated, and I am not defending Apple here, just saying that the iPhone does not update to support individual automobiles, the automobile manufactures update to support the Bluetooth profiles.The iPhone has the latest Bluetooth stack and supports a number of things. Problems generally revolve around the manufacturer not supporting the lastest Bluetooth version and have to update their systems. Check with Honda, they are probably aware of this, and if you search the forum, you will find a number of posts regarding the CR-V.

Having issues with update to iOS 8

Having issues with update to iOS 8, wheel keeps spinning with 9 hrs remaining to complete update. What are my options?
<Re-Titled By Host>

I am a windows/mac user... And I was Linux user for several years... And so far I have been really happy with apple but this problem is frustrating.
I don't understand:
1)Why can't I go back to iOS7 since this was apparently the most stable version for my iPad ?
2) Why is apple not doing anything about it, ?
3) If the problem is that my iPad's can't fully support the features of iOS8, why on earth have they made it available to iPad 2?
Any way, I will just wait a bit longer and probably start looking in to a Samsung tablet or something....
Cheers,

Is anyone having Mic issues with iPhone 5?

Is anyone having Mic issues with iPhone 5? Speakerphone works but not the mic, on phone calls and memos.
Took it to local Genius campus and after taking off the back screen and case, they blew air into the mica and it worked for about 20 mins.
I can't have a ready can of air around every time the mic goes out.
Anyone else had similar issues?

I am having a similar problem. I had the iPhone 5 delivered yesterday. On most of the calls I tried, the person on the other end could hear me just fine on speakerphone, but not on the regular mic. It was garbled, or I would cut in and out. I could always hear the other person clearly.
I just got back from a Genius Bar appointment where they gave me an entirely new phone. The issue exists on this one also, though now it seems like the audio is more muffled than garbled or spotty. Again, speakerphone works, and I can hear the other person clearly.
I had originally restored backup from my 3GS, but before I went to the Genius Bar I restored to factory settings just to be sure it wasn't a software issue (it wasn't, apparently). I did not restore from the old phone for this new handset either.
Thanks for any suggestions...frustrating, for sure!

Is there any issue with iphone 6 64gb storage?

Is there any issue with iphone 6 64gb storage?

Not sure why you would be led to believe that has anything to do with storage.
Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps BEFORE doing the reset.

Bluetooth buggy issues with iphone 5s after ios 8 upgrade

I am having issues with my Handsfreelink in my 2013 Honda Pilot after the ios 8 upgrade.Basically, music works the phone does not.
What I have tried:
1) Hard reset
2) deleted and re-setup all bluetooth settings on both phone and car
I suspect this is a bug in ios8 that needs to be addressed. On a sidenote I am also unable to plug my phone into the USB port on the car, now says unsupported.

The same thing happened to me on my 2012 Subaru Outback. I'm not sure this will help you since you have a Honda, but I'm posting this just in case.
I paired the audio on my car with my iPhone 6. However, when I turned the car off and back on again, the iPhone would not pair automatically. I had to manually connect the iPhone with the car. Turns out there are two separate bluetooth pairings on my car: one for phone which allows up to 5 devices and one for audio which allows only one device. So I did the second bluetooth pairing for the phone (had already done the audio), and that fixed it. YMMV
