iOS and iPadOS

Hi!

I updated to Ios 8 since the release day and had more and more problems with bugs for example voice over restars itselfs now and then, it doesnt work to anser incoming calls by two fingers double tap, ;then I turn off voice over and swipe on lower the screen;, when I will call someone by the the sounds numbers stands at each number, vo doesn't read fluit in safari pages etc etc, but the most frustration is when Vo turns off and on itself whenever, however.. I usually turns on and off vo sometimes but nothing helps, also reboots the phone called hard-tough, I mean when I tap powerbutton + homescreen ca 5 seconds, nothings helps either.
When will next updates of Ios come? have you note these bugs and know if there is some solutions for that? I become realy sad!! NOW IPHONE SUCKS!!!!!
How long time we will got this??? please make these wrong done...suriosly.... :(

I was having trouble with VO restarting itself, too. I powered down completely, then restarted, and it seemed to fix that problem.

I thought I had solved this problem by powering off and on, but I was wrong. I was trying to watch a video this afternoon, and VO kept restarting, making it impossible to hear the video. Same thing yesterday. I was a fool to accept this update.

since upgrading to ios8 my ipad 2 will not work at all, the voiceover button remains on and cannot be turned off, causing most of my apps to work incorrectly, and now i cannot move up or down on any page of any app, i have restored via comp i have set up as ne ipad loosing all my stuff on ipad, it works fine for abbout 4 hours and then the problems are back. when is apple going to sort this bug out, i wish i had never upgraded and feel very dissapointed in apple

Hi!
To the previous commenter about there iPad 2 with iOs 8 not working, I suspect the processor has a lot to do with this. It's an older unit, with a slower CPU, so iOs 8 and later won't work well, if at all. Also, to the DTMF tones sticking, there was a good comment in the accessibility bugs post on here that said to switch your typing to standard typing, punch the number in, and then go back to touch typing. If you are still having issues, try the other touch typing feature that is new in iOS 8, I believe it is direct touch typing, I don't know anything about it, but it's there.

I feel like I can publicly mention this, since it is all over twitter and other social networks. Apple is hard at work on an iOS 8.1 update, but it's currently in beta so the actual details of what's new and fixed shouldn't be discussed here, as Applevis likes to go by the rules which I can certainly respect. But I did want people to know that an update is in the works and should be out very soon! I shall not say anymore than that.

Agreed. I heard about an update coming out very soon on the Mac roomers site, however thats all I will say on this.
