so a soft reset (ie. Power + Home) and then when the phone restarts, run the native weather app. you'll be back to normal but make sure location service for weather is turned on.

Thanks. I restarted a few times and it started working again. Maybe bad connection in the building.

For now Health app can just measure your steps taken and walking/running distance (data taken from M7 co-processor I guess)
I hope apps like Jawbone Up and Strava can integrate their data into Health app, I use this 2 apps often.

How do you find these apps in terms of battery life usage? Im using Breeze by Runkeeper and although it says it uses the M7 processor, my battery usage for the app is about 24% (always at the top). Not sure whether it is normal or not.

24%? That's quite high. My Jawbone app just used 8% as of now, but I think that is because it just use bluetooth to sync data from the band, not using the M7.
Yet to try Strava or Nike Running on iOS8. Will try it out later and see the battery usage.

Are your "Steps" (pedometer) and "Walking + Running Distance" in the new Healthkit collecting data?
Mine was collecting data normally until it suddenly stopped at 5pm yesterday. Until now no new data.
My other pedometer app Breeze is working fine though.

I seem to have problems with the notification widget for Reminders (not calendar).

1. I only can see reminders that are due today in the widget at Today(NC). Are we supposed to see reminders due tomorrow too?

2. Also, when I set a reminder today for an item due tomorrow, I don't get any notification in Today(NC) when "tomorrow" comes. I need to go into the task and toggle the "remind me on a day" switch. Then the notification comes out.

Anybody facing similar issues?

I have a question regarding instant hotspot between one iphone to another:

It is buggy to say the least, with the phone sometimes showing up in the wifi screen, sometimes not.

Does instant hotspot give the ability to reconnect automatically after disconnecting? Say I don't use the iPhone for half and hour, and then when I turn it on, it does not automatically reconnect to the other iphone hotspot. My understanding is that the usage of bluetooth should enable this function. What I now have to do all the time is go to the wifi screen and select the hotspot again.

Any advice or experience on this matter from anyone is greatly appreciated.

if you are referring to the new instant hotspot feature on iOS8.1, then that is only for hotspot between iOS and OS X.

as for personal hotspot, the function is still the same. automatic disconnection after certain amount of inactivity to save battery.

currently using google+ app to auto backup camera roll.

i noticed that google+ app starts off by taking up about 60mb of storage space. but after a week or two, it goes up to 560mb.

any idea why this is happening?
is there anyway to clear cache or reduce the size of the app content?
