iOS 8 Problems Still Persist With 8.1.1 Update
Apple has been having software problems, both in the mobile and desktop platforms. Problems have been persisting ever since both the OS X Yosemite and iOS 8 were first released. Among problems are connectivity problems and unnecessary battery drain. The Cupertino company had already released a number of updates but said problems still persist.
iOS 8 is already at 8.1.1 and the problems are still present, with more Apple users getting more and more impatient with each passing update. In Apple support sites and other third-party sites, users are reporting that the hotspot of some phones have stopped functioning after the update.
"Same here. Hotspot not working since I upgraded to 8.0.2. Such an annoying issue. I phoned my carrier this morning and they didn't wan to get involved since 'it's a device issue since settings can't be saved.' No carrier updates either when I installed 8.0.2. So right now, no hotspot and no one wants to get involved," one user reports.

Gordon Kelly from Forbes writes, "The iOS 8 horror show doesn't look to be ending anytime soon. Just days after Apple released the vital iOS 8.1.1 update, a patch it meticulously tested with developers for over two weeks, a fresh outbreak of complaints and bug reports has occurred."
While Apple claims that the new update has fixed the issues – which it has sometimes – it had introduced others, which users have also reported.
"Safari seems smoother but now I have a bug with the copy/define not wanting to turn off… Wifi seems better but looks like it pushes the 5 band and dumps the 2 band. Mini 2 runs hot on games that it didn't before," one user writes.
