QUOTE(hakim_radzuan @ Sep 19 2014, 02:07 PM) Yup but in 'recently added' folder only display 522 pictures instead of 10k in my phone like previously in 'camera rolls' folder. recently added only show last 30 days photos.the rest, unfortunately, is stored in Collections. That's the reason you can Hide photos. It sucks! |

QUOTE(sai86 @ Sep 19 2014, 04:41 PM) lol. bro, go read what is this update is really about. its still early until more dev adopt it and update/release their apps for this ios 8. Ok, that is impressive the Metal API is already a WOW factor in a way. ignore the few item on top part, the rest should be good. https://www.apple.com/ios/developer/ and how long does it take to wow us from ios 4 until ios 7? On the 4th year? ah. as i know GSM is ROW and CDMA is for Japan/US Verizon (US got 2 carrier which use different - GSM & CDMA) thxs for the explanation on the new terms   . Lots of kits to make life easier for a iOS developer. Hopefully we see some really awesome app soon! |

QUOTE(dino89 @ Sep 22 2014, 01:54 PM) For me i always recommend updating through itunes. OTA updates sometimes got problems. I do OTA only on point release, e.g. 7.1 or 7.1.2. But for major upgrade 6 to 7 or 7 to 8, it's better to do via iTunes. |

QUOTE(gahkin @ Sep 21 2014, 07:56 PM) my 4s now on 5.1.1 , wanna try 8.0 but i afraid everything lag.. honestly, I wouldn't recommend it. iOS 8 is very close to iOS 7 and 4s runs 7 beautifully. Go 7 and stay there. |

QUOTE(zuhaili87 @ Sep 23 2014, 12:21 AM) After 5 days of using iOS 8 on my iPad mini retina (& just a day on my 5s Can still revert? Apple still sign 7.1.2? Can you give me a link to show me how to revert please? ), ive decided to switch back to iOS 7.1.2. The difference is huge man. At first i thought iOS 8 is fast enough on my iPad but sadly no. iOS 7.1.2 is much2 faster and snappier and not to mention much more stable than iOS 8. To me iOS 8 needs a lot of work to be done, the experience is really bad, with so many minor but noticeable bugs. (wifi, touch sensitivity, keyboard auto jump, photo upload, compatability, etc..) i hope in next update Apple will fix all of that stuff. Till then, will stick with iOS 7.1.2.  Can I just restore from my backup? |

Thanks, the only reason I am planning to revert is that I plan to get the 6+ and pass the 5s to the wife, and it is better for her to have one that is snappy and fast. iOS 8 in 5s is not bad. It's quite fast too.. but iOS 7 would be snappier!
