iOS 8.0.2 probably not Apple's finest update

So, how did the update to iOS 8.0.2 that was released last Friday go for you? Apple support boards are getting pretty active with people complaining about the update that was "supposed to fix 8.0.1."

A lot of the issues seem to be centered around WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity. Many users with car Bluetooth systems are finding that their phones now only randomly connect or don't connect at all. Manufacturer-installed systems for cars from Audi, BMW, Honda and several other companies are having the issue.

Immediately after the update, my own car (BMW) lost the ability to make calls. The phone calls would connect, but the other party could not hear me. Incoming calls had the same problem. A temporary fix was to reset network settings and delete Bluetooth profiles, but that fix only lasted two days. Other people I know are experiencing similar problems, and it appears pretty widespread.

Others are complaining that the "fixes" for third-party software keyboards didn't work in 8.0.2 either, and that was one of the issues that the update targeted. I can confirm that issue, too -- after setting a third-party keyboard to be the default, my iPhone forgets that keyboard and defaults back to Apple's keyboard.

Some of these issues seem to only affect the new iPhone 6 and 6 Plus, while some are hitting older hardware. All in all, it has not been a great week for Apple iOS updates. Here's hoping Apple is monitoring its support boards and that iOS 8.0.3 is being feverishly worked on.

Hope about you? How is it going with 8.0.2? Leave your thoughts in the comments.
