Apple has released iOS 8.0.2. It's available now via Settings > General > Update or over Lightning to USB tether to iTunes on your Mac or PC. This comes just one day after the iOS 8.0.1 update left iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus customers unable to use Touch ID or connect to cellular networks. Apple promised a fix within days and delivered it with a day. Apple also once agains apologized for the bugs:
iOS 8.0.2 is now available for users. it fixes an issue that affected iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus users who downloaded iOS 8.0.1 and includes improvements and bug fixes originally in iOS 8.0.1. We apologize for inconveniencing the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus users who were impacted by the bug in iOS 8.0.1.
I've completed the update on my personal iPhone 6 Plus and both Touch ID and cellular data are working fine. We'll test the rest of the fix list shortly and let you know if anything comes up.
If you still have 8.0.1 waiting to install and you're not seeing 8.0.2, go to Settings > General > Usage > Manage Storage and delete it. If you get a verification error, update via iTunes instead.
Otherwise, if you install it, let me know what it fixes for you, and if any issues pop up.

Apple releases iOS 8.0.2, addresses previous update errors
Hey! I've upgraded yesterday and everything is working except for the hotspot. How do I get it back please. It's really important for me to have this feature back on the phone. Thank you for the help!

Updating from 8.0 or 8.0.1 to 8.0.2 is a must. Many bug fixes. Some people are still having a lot of problems.
Some of the problems are due to background processing. To many things in background slowing your system down. Background apps, background downloading and notification widgets,
1 - do not have to many notification widgets
2 - limit the number of apps that work in background
Settings-general-background app refresh
3 - consider turning off background downloads
Settings-itunes & app store-automatic downloads
I do my updates manually. It is not hard. Some things will use your Internet connection while you are surfing the web at the same time.
Apologies, there is one problem in fact. I am now unable to send iMessages.

No problem here with iMessage after the update... Check your iMessage settings.
Using 8.0.2 on my iPhone 6 Plus, and I don't seem to be experiencing any issues, except an occasional random exit from an app - which was an issue I had out of the box.

I have 8.02 on my phone but I have no service my phone calls won't go through. I have made calls via facetime voice. Is there anything I can do?
Frustrated from being unable to downgrade to 7.12 to fix wifi issues, I upgraded to 8.02 15 minutes ago. Wifi is back even on a low signal in my balcony.
Hallelujah!
Fingers crossed. Hoping the miracle stays.
For me the only issue is AirDrop. I cannot get AirDrop to see other AirDrop Devices. IPad Air and iPhone 6. Both have airdrop set to everyone and when i attempt to share a picture via airdrop, no one shows up. If i attempt the same on 8.0 ipads, no issue. Can someone else test this?
Installed it this morning after seeing many reports of no issues. Since installing, no issues on my 6. For me, it fixed the rotation issue I was having with the camera. Otherwise, seems normal.
Fixes the camera rotation issue? Awesome - the seeming random nature of that was really annoying. Glad that is addressed.
Downloaded iOS 8.01 and had terrible WIFI and cellular connection issues. Was only getting 2-3 MPS. Now that I've just downloaded iOS 8.02 - SAME, EXACT, PROBLEM! No, I take that back. It's worse than before! Cellular speeds are below 2 MPS. What the hell? Any advice would be very much appreciated.
I was able to reload 8.0 thru iTunes the day it crashed and everything's fine now. Do I need/want to load 8.0.2 anyway?
I've read in the Apple community that some users still having TouchID issue. It happens to me too. Have to register my fingerprint again and so far it's working for me. Other users did the same thing but they have no luck. Slowly losing my faith with Apple...

Update...after updating with 8.0.2 last night, everything is fine with my iPhone 6 plus. Woke up this morning and I noticed that wifi is very slow. I reset my router and still the same... reset network connection and still the same... after booting up, it won't even recognize any wifi. Finally, I did a hard reset and it fixed my issue. I hope I don't have to do this every morning. Apple, please fix this darn wifi issue!!!
Same problem with wifi AND cellular speeds for me run at a snail's pace. Thanks Apple.
Only problem I had was a small one. Dynamic wallpaper stopped showing my bubbles. I had to change it to a static one then back to dynamic before it would work again. Everything is running smooth so far on 2 iphone 6, 3 ipad mini, and an iphone 5s. Yes I'm an apple house :)
Updated IPhone and IPad
No issues so far
All is well on my 6...
It's left my 4S with dodgy Cell service since updating. Get Cell Service for a while, then decides that it has got No Service.

Anyone having issue with Google search app? I noticed that it's lagging so badly after updating to iOS 8.0.2. I'm using iPhone 6 plus.
Leo, I was having that same problem with the Google App being slow and laggy with iOS 8.0. I just upgraded to 8.0.2 and haven't seen any improvement in the slowness of the Google app. I can't find any other reports of this online. Google, of course, is of no help! No response! With 10 million new iPhones sold, we can't be the only 2 people experiencing this! The app is pretty much unusable!

Just updated my 6 (64 G) T-Mobile to 8.02. I notice a big difference in response time when switching screens or apps. The phone is noticeably faster. I just switched off an Android 4.4.2 based LG G2 which is a lightning fast phone. The 6 is now pretty close to the response level of the G2. I had absolutely no issues with the update and everything is functioning as it should. No issues with cell service or the home button.
I missed the first (broken) update, but I have been using IOS 8.0.2 on my iPhone 6 for over an hour now, and all is well. It took about 11 minutes from start to finish over wifi.
The only issues I had with IOS 8.0 on my 5S, 6, and iPad 2 were the loss of some ringtone links on the IOS 7 devices I upgraded, and the annoying animated circle thing that indicated constant data usage on all devices. I didn't notice any real cell data being eaten up, but the constant indicator annoyed me no end.
The new IOS 8.0.2 patch eliminated that issue for me, and doesn't seem to have added any new issues. The ringtone issue was a minor thing, and only happened on an upgrade from 7, so I have no way to tell if that was fixed. In any event, Apple moved fast, and I'm pleased!

Update.... I thought everything was fine with iPhone 6 plus touch ID but I noticed that my phone is not able to recognize my left thumb (I made sure my thumb is clean). I have setup 4 fingerprints and only my left thumb is not working. I tried setting it up again but it failed the first time. Tried 2nd time and it said have to repeat because it doesn't recognize my finger print. Tried 3rd time and it works. I suggest that you all check your your fingerprints if it works fine with your phone.
It's still defaults back to the standard keyboard when you enter your password on some programs

This is not a bug. Passwords are always defaulted to apple keyboard for security reason. Third party keyboard are recording your keystroke as mentioned in the warning that pop ups when you turn on full access on a third party keyboard.

If you are in an area with poor performance you may see your bars drop to zero but instead of no service you'll have 5 empty dots beside your carrier. Happened to me a few minutes ago, iPhone 6, updated to 8.0.2.
updating now
iPhone 6 plus, iPad mini with retina are fine but had trouble with 5S. It won't connect to my wifi but I did a network reset and hard reset and it resolved the issue. However, my cell connection can't connect to LTE now but my iPhone 6 plus is fine. Anyone having this issue? I guess, there's another bug.
There's a crashing bug I'm dealing with in 8.0 where I open various apps insta, fb, snap, nhl, etc.. and they close.. I have to double tap to go back into them.. Has anyone else had this issue? If so, is it fixed in the update? --AT&T iP6

8.0.2 OTA updated successfully on two 6's. So far so good.
It works fine.. actually fixed my biggest issue and that was the bluetooth with my Ford.. this update has corrected the issues. Now for a bit of an editorial.. I feel like Apple did well by getting this out as quickly as they did.. being able to be in control of pushing updates directly is a bit of a double edged sword. I know they rushed the previous update and did cause inconveniences for some .. but we ask for quick action and sometime with quick action we get mixed results. Well the end.
This update does not fix the Ford Sync issue. As soon as you restart or sync your phone the issue comes back.
It works fine.

Just installed IOS 8.02 on my iPhone 6/128/VZ.. Looks like my Bluetooth connectivity issues with my Kia Optima has been fixed. I didn't reset any settings or delete any of my car connections. This morning it was in a stuck condition and couldn't complete or receive phone calls. Looks like 8.02 fixed it. If anything changes I'll be back. This is very good and welcome news the Apple support forum is flooded with Bluetooth and various carrier issues!

"Apple promised a fix within days and delivered it with a day".
Wow!!! Isn't that great? Yes, I am being sarcastic...
It is great. Google has never released a fix for anything that fast, and never will. A memory bug in ICS wasn't fixed for a year, rendering thousands of first gen Nexus 7s useless after months of use. Apple FTW!
What on earth are you talking about? Not only did the 2012 Nexus 7 launch with Jellybean (4.1), having owned both it and the 2013 version I've never seen any 'memory bug'. Please get your facts straight.
Sorry I misspoke the silly name of the version, but I have my facts straight. The original Nexus suffered from a TRIM bug in memory management which turned many if not most of them to shit. It was a year until the next major update (4.3, don't recall?) fixed it. A YEAR.
Just search for "Nexus 7 Trim bug".
https://gigaom.com/2013/07/30/got-a-laggy-old-nexus-7-heres-why-android-...
And your point is...? I don't give a damn to what happened to the Nexus 7; Never had stuff from Android. l own Apple products. And l started owning them BECAUSE they WERE very good. Things are going down now in Cuppertino and Tim & Co need to pull their socks up. Urgently.

I've now updated two iPhone 4S's and an iPad 4. Consistent results with the iPhones where the phone attempts to connect to a 4G network and when it can't, it continues to search. Simply going into airplane mode and switching out fixes this problem. The phones and the iPad 4 work fine now with this upgrade. So if you are having cellular access problems, try resetting the cellular service -- one method is to toggle airplane mode. So far, I've found no other problems.
If you are having performance problems with either, I suggest that you do a clean install. I found that, in both the iPad and iPhone 4S, that fixed any performance problems I had. In my opinion, the 4S running IOS 8.02 does not suffer a performance hit when compared to IOS 7. If you're not seeing this, I don't know what to say. I have both a 64 and 16GB iPhone 4S, so memory is not the issue.
