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.

Because they're surprised to find how satisfied issues get fixed with immediately. To competition it's no surprise they don't change in a better way.

My 5s has an awesome lag when sliding to open control center from lockscreen... Does anyone have this problem? :/

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

If you deactivate the moron switch, the 3G toggle switch should appear.

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.
Aarish
Aarish - September 26, 2014 at 12:16pm
i think u need to turn your moron switch off and read the statement carefully, i would have not mentioned 8.0.2 if it would had been there in ios 8.
Aarish
Aarish - September 26, 2014 at 12:18pm
yup, even i downgraded it :( thankfully apple was signing 7.1.2

I'm a happy iPhone 5s user, won't buy the 6. Android isn't that bad now. The security features with some manufacturers are great. Even more comprehensive than iOS. I would recommend it, I would suggest it, though I would never use it myself.. :P

you probably triple clicked on the home button. triple click again and it should go back to normal.
Gordon
Gordon - September 26, 2014 at 6:56am
Ah! Yeah! Back to normal! Thanks!

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

That makes sense, why didn't I think of that... Probably because I work at google and not apple.

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.
