2014 (Oct) Technology - Do not update iOS 8.0

[triton]

does that mean you notice some minor issues? if there are, can share? thank you

Updated 8.0.2 for my iPad...no serious issues noted...

Seems like for Apple Updates, always prudent to wait for a week or so after the bugs undetected during testing to be irioned out first..

Just update this morning, ios8.0.2.
Some technical problems coz I forgot my iCloud password.
But still okay. Typing easier, font bigger and still exploring....,,,,,,

After one day, i`ve not encounter any problem yet.
Should be better and more function and easier to handle.

The most serious one was the previously existing video files for VLC player not appearing inside the VLC player according to my wife. Told her I'll check on it when I get back home but it seems to have resolved by the time I went back..(nothing important, just nursery rhymes inside to keep the little one entertained on longer journeys)

Other than that, no major complaints...

*PS: I am asking wifey herself to hold off upgrading to iOS 8.02 herself though on her 5S...I am using Andriod myself.

just to update those who using the app - perx.

after lunch when i wanted to redeem my $10 voucher, i click on redeem button. it was suppose to generate a code. however it showed a null code. this means cannot redeem @ the food outlet.

i emailed perx, apparently, many users using perx (iOS version) have encountered problems but those on android no issues.

so kindly note that some apps may not work properly.

[triton]

i updated for iphone 5 as well. as mentioned in my previous posts, some apps may not work properly with 8 and/or 8.0.2

my suggestion is wait for awhile longer.

many thanks to those who have posted about their findings.

thank you very much for sharing.

Oops, I already updated few days ago. So far no problem.

Updated but no problems so far

Updated with 8.0.2 and so far no problem or maybe I should say I've yet to detect any problem.

Updated to 8.0.2 on a ip6, whatsapp crashed the first time opening it after the update but no issues after that. Also, phone turned off automatically while on airplane mode while I was charging it overnight. Has not happened again but I'm turning on another phone for my alarms in case the phone turns off again and my alarm doesn't sound off.

I've been cautious and 'benefited' in a way, that I haven't upgraded. But I wonder how long I will have to wait to upgrade? When is the right time/period?

[triton]

there will always be little bugs here and there. it depends how it is magnified and how it affects you using the phone.

i will classify updates into 3 categories

1. major (from 7 to 8)
2. intermediate (8.0 to 8.1)
3. minor (8.0.1 to 8.0.2)

i tend to avoid categories 1 and 2. so say my previous version was 7.1.2 i won't update to 8 neither will i update to 8.1.

i usually go for category 3, which means i will likely update 7.1.2 to 8.0.1. however it is unusual that a version such as 8.0.1 will cause significant issues. prior to doing any update, i will wait for say 1-2 weeks and read reviews before installing. most significant problems will be reported within 2 weeks. if the problems raise does not matter in your usage of the phone, then update it. if it does affect your usage, then don't.

as a rule of thumb, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
