● Addresses an issue where 3rd party keyboards could become deselected when a user enters their passcode
● Fixes an issue that prevented some apps from accessing photos from the Photo Library
● Improves the reliability of the Reachability feature on iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus
● Fixes an issue that could cause unexpected cellular data usage when receiving SMS/MMS messages

I have an iphone 6 and is on ios8.0 and I can bypass the lockscreen a serious bug if you ask me. Did they fix this in the 8.0.2 update?
Hmm

If you're referring to Siri it doesn't let you bypass. I noticed this too but I tested it with the new voice command "Hey Siri!" And tried looking up something random on Wikipedia it did not work and sent me to enter my password or finger print. This did seem to happen every time you do it with the button. What happens is while you're looking for something you're probably touching the scanner with your assigned unlocking finger, which means when you look up things on Wikipedia or anything your phone knows it's you and let's you right through without questioning it.

Close out apps and reboot. If your trying to activate those upon just restarting the phone there will be lag because all the filesystems and daemons are loading still

That is not fixed yet. I have downgraded to 7.1.2, since Apple is still signing it. The benefits of iOS 8 do not outweigh my need for better battery performance. I have been an iPhone user since 5 years now and will be shifting to Android now because of Apple's arrogance.

yup, even i downgraded it :( thankfully apple was signing 7.1.2

Does anyone else have a auto brightness issues when going into passbook? My brightness is dim until I open passbooks. Just wondering.

This is normal so that the scanners that the merchants use can easily detect the barcode

My iPad 2 does feel quicker through the animations. The gestures work fine. Safari looks faster 'till now'. Keyboards work better, but still have that beta feel to them. Lockscreen wakes up almost instantly. Oh and fnally downloaded the U2 Album, beautiful.

I've just updated and now my visual voicemail won't work on O2 network. FFS!!!

My visual voicemail worked fine before I updated to iOS 8.0.2. I just updated my wife's iPhone 6 and her's isn't working either on O2. This is a joke!
