My iPhone says that there's no updates?

My iPhone was having an issue with its battery sometime this July. I looked online and the answer seemed to be to restore the phone.

That ended up fixing the battery problem, but now, whenever I check for updates for my phone, it says that there are none. I'm stuck on iOS 7.1.2. Any idea how to get it to update?

Added (1). It's not outdated. I had been able to do the updates after I had gotten the phone and was still being able to get them right up until I restored it. And it's still connecting to the servers.

Sometimes I feel tired of my iPhone?

I have a 5S that I just got this year. I don't have any plans of changing any time soon. What keeps people happy with their phone that they busy themselves with it? What can I do to maximize my use? Am I missing a game or an app because I'd really like to enjoy as well. I'm just a teenage girl but I don't know any app that helps. I'm not really in to Snapchat and the like. Please suggest!

Added (1). Since not much people talk to me, I'd like some rad useful apps that can help me learn or something for he future. I only have this game called aa.

Do you get storage back after ios8 update?

Okay so I need to update my iPhone 4s to ios8 but it says I need 5.6 gb of storage for the app that is only 1.1GB of storage. I can't get my iCloud to back up and iTunes isn't allowing me to connect my phone. So if I delete my apps and such, will I be able to redownload that after the update? What happens to the storage is it just used or will it be given back to me?

IPhone 4 stuck searching for signal?

I randomly checked my phone today and saw it was searching for a signal. And it had been searching for hours. I reset it, doing both a hard and soft reset. Took out the sim card and reinserted it. Turned on airplane mode for about a minute. Reset network settings. Nothing works. I've been trying to update to iOS 8.1 to see if that would work, but it says "unable to install update." I really don't want to have to restore my phone for the 4th time. How do I fix this?

Why is Apple integrating this irremovable stocks app into everything?

Do they realize a lot of us don't give a rat's but about stocks? It's stuck on my iPhone and since I upgraded to Yosemite it's stuck on my iMac too. Anyone have an idea how to remove it? I guess it isn't hurting anything I just dislike the stock market game and I don't want to look at it every day.
