Good evening all especially Ioana and Misty. I have an iPhone 4S and I just upgraded to the latest iOS on Sunday of this week.
The upgrade went smoothly however I did initially have some issues with text input applications, I.E., sending texts, entering contacts into the phone app, editing existing contacts, Etc. I did solve the problem. It appears, for me at least, the problem where I could not edit contacts, send texts, etc, was related to the fact that the iPhone typing mode reset itself back to its default setting during the iOS upgrade so now you have to double tap every letter etc until you go back into the router and reset the typing mode back to whatever setting you were using under iOS 7. I was able to reset it back to touch typing and now it works beautifully. Before I fixed the typing mode issue if I opened a text to a contact send was not visible because the message body was blank so I could not flick over to it, now that I have fixed the typing mode everything works as it did before, I also sent a test text message from my iPhone 4S to my Samsung Galaxy Ace II and the text reached its destination. If I can be of any assistance to anyone else having issues with their 4S following the iOS upgrade please let me know. Cheers, Ed.

Only way I found is to locate the 'send" button and keep your finger there to mark the spot and then turn off voiceover and try tapping on that button. It is a bit of guess work but the swish will confirm to you if it worked. THen you can turn vo back on.

I have an IPhone 4S and IOS 8.0.2, and I am trying to send an important message to a friend, but it will not send! I tried swiping to it and then double-tapping it, and I also found the send button without swiping to it and double-tapped it, but nothing is working. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
