Hi everyone, I'm totally blind therefore for me it is much easier to use bluetooth keyboard for sending long messages and email as I will be able to type fast. Since last two weeks my bluetooth keyboard doesn't respond to my iPhone 4s. the only key talks, is the caps on/off and escape key. It worked perfectly with IOS 7. Will someone tell me what to do? Thanks.

I believe many of us have run into this huge bug with bluetooth keyboards and iOS 8. Also, the 8.0.2 release did not fix this problem either. I have a call into Apple a11y and the rep I talked to was even able to reproduce the bug as well. Thank God they didn't break Braille display support. That still works great, including the input methods. There are no work-arounds really. The only thing I can do is while in any editable fields, be sure quick nag is turned off and you'll at least be able to type both lower and upper case even though the Caps lock key will only say "Caps lock on."

I really hope they fix this glaring bug with the iOS 8.1 update, due out Monday October 20th.
