Apple today released iOS 8.1.2 which includes bug fixes and addresses a problem where ringtone purchased through iTunes Store may have been removed from your device.

Will it fix my battery life?
No only you can fix that problem!
Does Apple offer a guide for this? You’d think that if Apple wanted everyone to enjoy all the features that make the iPhone a “smart” phone, it would be easier to monitor what is sucking your battery life. Many people I know flip their iPhones to “airplane mode” all the time, because it’s too difficult to determine how to more precisely dial in what apps are sucking the most electrons.
Ive, we can easily handle phones that are a few mm thicker and heavier. Give us better battery life!!!
If you plug it in facing West with a barometric pressure close to 30% possible rain at an elevation of 200ft above sea level, it will charge 10x faster and last three days. It’s true!
You forgot you have to stand on one leg while the phone is charging otherwise it will only last 2 days not 3.
Settings>General>Usage>Battery Usage.
You will have two ways to see what App is sucking your battery. Last 24 hours or 7 days.
Been there since iOS 8.0.0, but agree Apple should really point this out.
Thanks Think and TX! Will check this out. Battery life is a big deal, this may actually help a bit.
If you just go to Settings->General->Usage->Battery Usage, it will tell you exactly where your charge is going. The MDN app is eating over a quarter of mine.
Try charging it via the wall plug instead of your USB port. I did and I find my charge lasts twice as long!
Do you use the FaceBook app? Make sure FaceBook is not using location services.
Further to this: disable FB’s ability to update in the background. I expected that setting would make it update my newsfeed so it’s always fresh when I launch FB, but it always has to reload to fetch new content anyway, so it’s useless for that.
Rumour is this does something with FB’s VOIP service, but since I don’t use that, all it’s doing is draining battery faster.
Just disable (remove) Facebook period! I did and now my phone’s battery lasts all week and it’s now waterproof!
never joined faceplant, so my phone is never wallowing in their slime, wasting valuable electrons and more importantly valuable time !-)
Downloaded 8.1.2 on iPad Mini Retina Display and iPhone 6 Plus; everything appears to be running smoothly.
There is no battery life problem.
When I first started using my iPhone 6, it ran surprisingly hot, and the battery wore down rapidly. I went through a whole charge in less than a day. I took some advice I read online and did a hard reset of the phone. No battery problems since.

Still don’t have MDN in my notifications on my iPhone 6. Works fine on my iPod touch.
I have the same problem as you.
Hopefully there aren’t any issues, because I’ve already upgraded all my devices 😀
Now fix Yosemite!! It crashes my computer every time screen saver starts. I have to hard reboot to get back control. S U X.
Sounds like it’s your screen saver. Try turning it off, or finding a new one…
That crash has nothing to do with Yosemite. Contact the developer of your screen saver for a Yosemite-compatible version.
Actually.. I had the same issue.
With the built in screen saver.
The screen saver would start, go to black screen saying “loading pictures” and do nothing.. Most times I could catch it quick enough before it totally locked me out.
For whatever reason, it couldn’t find the folder where the pictures were causing the problem. (Folder for my screen saver pics is in the pictures folder locally, not external drive)
Goto the screen saver settings and the drop down box shows nothing, won’t let you select anything.. Reboot, all works again.
Had to catch it when you see it or it would crash randomly. I’ve came back 3 hours later and the iMac is still showing loading pictures.. Move mouse and it bypasses the password request…
But it’s not a Yosemite issue, had it in Mavericks as well. Yosemite has only done it a few times, an update may have fixed it again.
Does it fix the hotpot problem?
Try using your stovetop instead. That may work faster.
if you use a vaporizer, then your pot won’t get hot enough to pyrolyze the substance
that is where the damage to lungs occurs !-)
Is that where your sister steals the juicy shrimp you had your eyes on before you can grab it, forcing you to settle for a fishcake? Or does that only happen in anime?

So, if I never purchased a ringtone can I skip this?
Or does Apple always include a few other fixes that are not mentioned?
It says it includes security updates, so I updated with no issues.
Updated both my devices and found no issues. My apps still work…
Shortly after getting my iPhone 6, I discovered that call waiting no longer functions (I believe it worked on the earliest iOS8 release, it broke around 8.0.1 or thereabouts).
Would be really nice if this problem got fixed. I work in an environment where camera phones are not allowed so I need to forward calls to a non-camera phone while in the building. Sucks that call forwarding has not been working.
Call your Apple.I’m sure they’ll assist you. I had the same problem after 1st update and I did a new install. Now works perfectly.
I hope this fixes an intermittent problem my wife and I have been having with our iOS devices, where the internet just stops working. The internet appears to be connected, but any attempt to access a site or a service will just hang. The only fix I know is a restart. This has happened on both our phones, and our two different model iPads, so it has to be software-related. (I’m wondering if some app we’re running is somehow locking things up.)

I had a similar problem with multiple devices. Turns out my router at home was to blame. Since I wanted a faster one anyways, I replaced it. No more issues now 😉 of course you didn’t say if the internet problem was on wifi or LTE/4G so mileage may vary.
Ain’t the router, because it’s happened both at home and on the road. And the home router is an Airport Extreme, so I doubt that’s the issue. Also, it doesn’t happen often enough to be a hardware issue, IMHO.
The last time it happened, I tried turning off the WiFi, using only cellular, and I still couldn’t reach anything on the internet. Something has the internet stack locked up.

Check out the Battery Doctor App it helps monitor your system also clean it and boost it’s performance. It is a good app for charging aswell it will tell you if your battery is really fully charge
Hopeful this will fix problematic device sync with iTunes. I have 10,000 tracks I want on my devices and need iTunes to sync them.
