iCloud Keychain... I keep turning it on and inputting the code sent to me and then I leave Settings app, come back and it's toggled itself off again. Bug? Or am I doing something wrong here?

So the announcement today said that "500 banks" are signed on with Apple Pay, have they produced a list at all yet?

I've seen no list but I've noticed the screens in Wells Fargo ATMs advertising 🍎Pay and also my Chase app mentions it.

Anyone have any luck in getting instant hotspot to work? I've been trying to get it to work from my iPhone to iPad with no success. Regular Personal Hotspot works just fine.

Is it a new feature of iOS 8? Cause I just noticed that I have the ability to create a hotspot now.

I just checked and when I go into my iPad wireless settings, my phone is listed in there (even though hotspot was turned off in the phone) with the chain icon for the hotspot feature. I just verified by tapping that in the iPad prefs and it activated my hotspot and I connected fine.

I had used the iPad in iOS7 with the phone as a hotspot by turning on the hotspot first and then attaching. With iOS8 I can now activate it all from within the iPad settings.

Question: for the last few days my battery usage log has been identical (usage/standby show the same time) as if an all is constantly on. I don't think I have anything set to always on are there are chunks of the day where the phone is doing nothing but the usage/standby just shows you how long it's been since the phone was unplugged so I know that's wrong.

Is it just a known big or do I have to go hunt to see what's active every second the phone is on? The battery life has been great lasting me well past the work day with usually 20%+ and the individual app usage seems about right so it's more of a curiosity than an actual issue

When I got my 6 this issue developed after a couple of days. I started troubleshooting by turning off notifications, background app refresh, and all multitasking cards (then just used the phone normally) and it seemed to sort itself out after a while (maybe a day or so?). After the two counters diverged, I started turning things back on and I haven't had any issues since.

I know this isn't insight on what the problem is (maybe an app isn't giving up background access to an interface, no idea), but know you aren't alone. The last time I had this issue was with an iPhone 4 where the process in charge of push mail was just going crazy in the background. In that case I had to restore the phone. I'm not a developer so I'm not to sure on this, but if you could get console logs from the phone you may see what is bugging out.

I have the same problem. I have only three apps running with background refresh turned on, Breeze, Human and Swarm. Breeze and Human are fitness trackers, but they shouldn't be running all the time (they're both iOS 8 compatible and use the M8 sensor).

Okay, since an iPod Touch 6th Gen didn't materialize yesterday, the next best thing would be (I THINK) an iPhone 5c with a bad ESN if I want pocketable iOS without a data plan. Better processor and RAM than an iTouch 5th Gen, and cheaper than buying a fully functional one.

So what I'm poking around for now is an iPhone 5c with:
* an unfucked screen and ports
* a bad ESN
* no iCloud lock

Is there anything else I need to be wary of with such a thing, and how much should I expect to pay for such a beast?

Well, my iPod Touch 4th Generation is just about dead: if apps don't disqualify it by requiring iOS 7+, they take 512MB RAM for granted and cough and die when loaded. The 5th Gen one will run into the same problem before long, and there is no 6th Gen. I have no interest in the phone portion of the iPhone (or, specifically, for the costly phone and data plans associated with it). So SOME kind of off-contract 5c as a Ghetto iPod seems like the solution.

If the ethics of a bad ESN one are worthy of concern, what's my next best option?

It doesn't need to have a bad ESN to work as an iPod Touch. Buy someone's old 5C who upgraded to the 6. You'll pay like $200 and have a fully functional device.

So looking on apple's website, if I wanted to buy a new 6 or 6+ off contract, it would be from T-Mobile. It will still work on AT&T's network as well as hopefully over in Europe with prepaid SIM cards? This is my first time buying a new phone off contract so I don't want to mess up!

Yes, except you can't buy (or reserve) a Verizon or Att phone for full price on apples website. It's in store only for full price devices that aren't T-mobile. Sucks because there were huge amounts of stock today for in store Verizon phones but I couldn't reserve one unless I was upgrading or signing up for service.

So if Handoff is supposed to work seamlessly between my iPad and iPhone, it does not. I see the icon (sometimes) on my iPad lock screen, and despite having a project open on my phone, it either:

Crashes to desktop when I swipe up on my iPad

or

Launches Keynote to a screen with nothing but an option to "start a new project."

No. It doesn't exist yet. I know 8.02 is buggy (and that may just be the root cause of it.) But is 8.1 needed for Handoff between iOS devices? It seems to want to work, it just doesn't. (My bad if it's not supposed to work till 8.1 and I just didn't know.)

Well maybe it doesn't work completely or is not supposed to but it definitely activates and shows up in the bottom screen at least sometimes and if you swipe up will launch the app (if it doesn't crash, that is.)

Yeah sounds like a bug or something left over from the beta. I'm 90% sure they turned it off waiting for Yosemite (even though it was working fine between iOS devices).

Handoff only works when the screen is on and the app you want to hand off are open on the source device.

The thing about only opening the app and not carrying over anything you did happens to me too. No clue why.

It probably refreshes when you actually pull up the app to save on battery. It would be insane to run *all* the time.
