Apple continues to be plagued by issues facing its iOS 8 as users are complaining of bugs in the OS deleting files in iCloud Drive. That's not all, users are also encountering Bluetooth connectivity issues in their vehicles.
Last week, Apple pushed out the iOS 8.0.2 update after users complained of issues with iOS 8.01. Users were encountering disconnection from their cellular provider, call drops, and problems with the fingerprint Touch ID sensor post updating to iOS 8.0.1. Moreover, the update was taking up 5.8GB of space on devices, which did not let several iPhone users who had small storage capacity install the update.
To counter user issues, Apple rolled out iOS 8.0.2 which fixed plenty of bugs. However, now users are complaining that post the update, files in their iCloud Drive are getting deleted automatically.
Apparently, a major bug exists in the "Reset All Settings" option for iOS 8 as individuals who have activated this feature reveal that they lost iWork documents that were stowed in iCloud Drive. Users have taken to MacRumors' forums to voice their concern.
"HELP. Because iOS 8 was so sluggish on my iPad 3 I reset all settings (No data or media will be deleted) and sped it up BUT deleted my iWork data! Then promptly synced and deleted it in iCloud.I have public beta of Yosemite so can't roll back via time machine. I have no pre iOS 8 backups in iTunes or iCloud to revert to (well iCloud device backups don't contain cloud documents and I should have iOS 7 backups in iTunes but can't find any. iCloud has no trash like dropbox. They seem gone forever. PLEASE HELP!!" writes user Chris on the forum.
Users reveal that their accounts have been kept in troubleshooting mode till the data is recovered. Some disclose that Apple engineers will look into the matter. No method to recover the documents seems to be available as of now. It is advisable that users desist from using "Reset All Settings" till the issue is sorted.
The other problem iOS 8 users are facing is Bluetooth connectivity in their cars. Users who have updated their iPhone to iOS 8 or are using the latest iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus are complaining of pairing their device with the vehicle's audio system via Bluetooth. Either the device does not pair at all, disconnects when there's an incoming call or does not play audio on the speakers.
Users are complain on the MacRumors forum of the problems. The issue is plaguing devices that are on iOS 8.0.2 and iOS 8. The Bluetooth issue of pairing is not restricted to automobiles alone as users are complaining of speakers and headphones not getting paired either.
"Since the last update to iOS 8.0.2 problems with Bluetooth on my iPhone 5s and iPad air, cannot connect to any via bluetooth.......," ranted a user on Apple's support forum.
Currently, no fix seems to be available to restore the iCloud and Bluetooth issues. Users will have to wait for Apple to push out bug fixes in the next version of iOS 8.
