Hi Gary and Mary Anne, I understand your frustration, but while a few people seem to have WiFi issues, it does not to be anywhere near a large percentage. I have a 5S and WiFi works as good as it always has. I have been using iO?S 8 throughout the entire beta cycle since Beta 1 in June and while I agree that there are problems and also feel that Apple should have had some of these fixed by the time iOS 8 was released, I had no WiFi issues throughout the beta cycle. I really wonder what the variables are which cause these issues. You also mentioned a friend who is only using text messages. What issues does he have with regular phone calls? Once again, I am not aware of major bugs here except that for some people call display announcements don't seem to work or not work consistently, but that doesn't affect the actual phone call. As for Mary Anne, I have not seen any messages with information as to what you have tried to fix this. Have you done a reset all network settings and, if all else fails, a reinstall of iOS 8.1 including setting up as a new device?

I am in the same boat, though with different problems. It's gotten to the point where I don't even carry the phone around with me anymore. I have a friend who has decided to go voiceless in terms of phone contact and deals solely in text messages and getting out only one of four has become more of a waste of time than I can justify. For what it's worth, I called my carrier and asked whether I should consider upgrading to the 6 or 6 plus. The salesman said I'd be having similar problems to what I have now. Yeah, I can listen to football games on the weekends and I have a clock app which I enjoy hearing, but those are decidely secondary aspects of why I wanted this phone. Good Luck. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mary Anne Lynskey" <marlyn...@gmail.com> To: <viphone@googlegroups.com> Sent: Wednesday, November 05, 2014 8:13 PM Subject: Re: wi-fi cutting out on 6+ I have I5 iPhone % and have been losing wireless since upgrade to IoS 8. It is terrible. I must keep my cellular turned off or it will use my data. Have to go to settings and turn wifi off and on again. Sometimes that won't even work. I have to restart the phone before it works. I have noticed lots of buffering too. There are androids in the house without this problem. There are numerous problems with Ios *8.1 and I am frankly becoming fed up with the whole thing. I can't move apps around consistently, if at all. They are scattered everywhere and I can't put them into folders for any organization. I get very few call announcements. Many apps that used to work just fine are now broken. When is Apple going to get their act together and fix these problems? Are they dumping their commitment to accessibility with the new regime or what? Too busy working on stupid gadgets like that idiotic watch instead of fixing all the broken parts in Ios8. I for one will start learning to use my brother's android if this keeps up. I really like what Apple used to be but am becoming very disillusioned since they are taking so long to respond to these issues. Iphone cost a serious amount of money to have become so dysfunctional. And I know many of my sighted friends and coworkers who do not like this new iOs 8, so there are many more issues than an accessibility going on here. Let's hope they do something about this very soon. In summary, those of you who are having wifi issues are not imagining it. It's for real! It's not your router or your iPhone, or your carrier, it's the half-fast operating system.
