IPad Air, iOS7 - Random Hanging Issue

I have this issue that seems to be happening more and more lately but is still random so I can't pinpoint it. Has anyone experienced similar and perhaps know the underlying issue?
Using an iPad Air (128Gb) with latest iOS7, I have noticed issues where it seems the system just freezes for like 20-30 seconds. For example, on the home screen you press "Settings", you then get the white screen with the vertical divider but no icons. It just sits with the white background for 20-30 seconds, then everything appears as normal. I have had this happen numerous times when going into settings to connect to a bluetooth device. I have also seen similar when pressing an icon on the main screen, it darkens (registering the touch) then just sits. Again 20-30 seconds later the app opens as expected and works fine. I have stopped all apps, and shutdown/restarted the iPad a few times but this still occurs. The problem is, it is random so not everytime you open settings does it do this. So I'm having trouble pinpointing where the issue is coming from. Any ideas? I don't really want to do a restore as it does work fine for the most part. I'm hoping that it is just a bug in iOS7 and that the next update may correct it.

Realize this is old, but how many apps do you have installed?

IPad Air and random crashes

Greetings,
I'm now on my 3rd iPad (still have my original iPad, and an iPad 3), and just bought an iPad Air, so I've been around them since their inception. I must admit that I've never had any issues with my iPads, until I purchased this Air. I don't know if it's iOS 7.0.4 or the Air itself, but it seems to crash like a drunk driver with sunglasses on at night. It really doesn't matter which app I have running, but I've noticed it most often in Safari and 500px. Safari will be humming along, and next thing I know, I'm back on the Home screen, and whatever I was previously doing is lost (for instance a transaction that I was making through PayPal). With 500px, I'll be viewing photos and suddenly I'm in the Home screen, but can frequently continue from where I previously was.
I might be in another app, working away, and then the iPad simply reboots, and I find myself staring the Apple logo on the black screen. Once I'm able to enter my password and get back in to the iPad, all of my apps are still up and runninng, but whatever I was previously doing is lost. My iPad is most often connected to WiFi, and though I have the cellular addition, it's alwasy turned off. I've had similiar things happen on my iPhone 5 running iOS 7.0.4, but not nearly as often as on my iPad Air.
Has anyone else had similiar issues or problems? Any thoughts? Any fixes?
Jeff

HHe's. A simple visit to Settings, disabling and then immediately re-enabling the feature fixes the issue. But just for a while.
APPLE: Do you hear us? This should be a VERY easy issue to resolve. It's pervasive, well documented, and utterly annoying and frustrating. Please issue a fix ASAP.

Ipad Air 2 HDMI Mirroring Issue

I have been using Lightning Digital AV Adapter (HDMI - Lightning adaptor) for a long time on my iphone 5 for mirroring images , videos, safari, games, etc. on my TV.
When i got my ipad air 2 i got it connected, mirroring works as it should , games, images, safari, youtube, etc but recently it stopped mirroring and i was only able to mirror videos when enlarged at full screen. Nothing else work. The TV shows only blanks while connected, rest of the time.
Did i accidentally switch any settings on the ipad itself? It still works on my iphone 5, not my ipad air 2.
Please help out!! Thanks!

I don't see any screen distortion when pressing the back, even press slightly harder. It is fine to me because i won't bend my ipad air 2. Some more i have a case to protect my ipad which can minimize the distortion issue by giving pressure from the back.
but the speaker issue is really annoying and only happens on ipad air 2 , i didn't see the issue been so obvious on other ipad (ipad 2 3 4 air mini...). Can we ask for compensation from Apple?
Apple should recall to replace the speaker or putting some material to absorb the vibration.

IPad air 2 randomly won't start

My iPad Air (iOS 8.1) once in a while won't start with either home button nor the on/off button. Only a hard reboot turns it on.
Anyone experiencing the same issue or has a solution?

Hi there ritjer,
I would recommend taking a look at the troubleshooting steps found in the article below. It looks like you have already done most of the troubleshooting outlines, so you may want to start from step 5.
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, or the if the screen remains black or shows a persistent Apple logo, try restoring with iTunes:
Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane. Learn more about restoring iOS software.
If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try to force the device into recovery mode, and then restore it.
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, contact Apple.

If you can the iPhone, you should be able to on the Air.
Try a reset ...
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

Latest update will not install on my iPad Air. iOS7.1.1

It starts to install and then I get a nastygram that it cannot be installed at this time. I have 78+ GB free, so it is not a lack of space problem.

Hi HarveyFishman,
This is Ian from the revel team. We are experiencing an issue with this version that we are trying to resolve with Apple as soon as possible. Thank you for reporting this though. We are so sorry for the inconvenience. In the meantime if you are trying to access your photos you can do so at adoberevel.com.
Best,

Need help to share Number/Pages file visa Mail option. Cannot do with iPad Air (iOS7)

Need help to share Number/Pages file visa Mail option. Cannot do with iPad Air

Oh, okay. After selecting the format I want to send, it says "creating... ". Then irrespective of the format I choose the message e.g. "creating spreadsheet" disappears, and so does the choice window (where I earlier chose Mail). I am taken back to the Numbers (or Page) where I had started from. Diavonex's note indicated that after "creating ... " stage I should be taken to an option where I can type in email address where I want to send the file, if I want to copy it to another address etc. I cannot arrive at that page - no matter whether I am working with Pages or Number, or which format I choose for the file to share !
I will try to close as you have suggested and try. However, I have switched on and off several times by now, but nothing changed!
Will look forward to any ideas to solve this !!!
Thanks much!

Is iOS 8 slowing down the wi fi on my iPad air?

Having lived through several OS updates I know that it takes a little while for apps to all be updated and for little glitches to be worked out. However, I think iOS 8 has brought on some real issues with my iPad Air.
The overall issue is a slow connection to the internet. This happens at home and in several other locations where I have used the wi-fi since updating to iOS 8 a few weeks, ago. My work PC works fine (well... at least, the internet does), but my daugter's iPad mini (also updated to iOS 8) will slow down when she is watching Netflix, occassionally. The family also has an iMac, which is working fine.
While using the Washtington Post (downloading the newspaper), Pinterest, Safari, You Tube, Mail and the App Store, the connection seems to slow down to a crawl making it impossible to continue what I am doing.
I've shut down and restarted the iPad, and then it works fine for a while, only to slow down again sometime later. Sometimes the problem will seem to fix itself, but then it slows down again. Sometimes, it happens when it comes out of sleep mode, and sometimes not. Since I use my iPad to work from home, it is really frustrating. I can delay my gratification when it comes to games and such, but not when I am updating my blog or reading my email.
I've Googled iOS 8 and wi fi and saw that there are a number of issues out there. Some of the big tech magazines and websites are tracking some similiar issues. I'm curious if anyone knows if this is all related to iOS 8 and if a future update will resolve it, or if there are ways I can test my hardware on my iPad to make sure it is working properly.
Thanks!

How to remove ios 8 ? This is biggest failure of Apple. It slow down my ipad , freez application, freez key board....?

IPad Air Safari landscape orientation no click till scroll

I have an iPad Air and noticed an issue when attempting to select links from a list, regularly with a list of results from Google.
Typically I will type in a search term, Google will provide its usual list of results and then I will attempt to click on one of the resulting links nothing happens. There is no recognition of the tap action nothing. I can try any link in the list and nothing. But give the list a little wobble scroll up and down within safari even just a tiny bit and then the links become selectable.
I took the iPad in to a Genius at an Apple store but we could not replicate the error but that was because we tried to replicate the error in portrait mode and as I have since found the error does not occur when the iPad is held in portrait mode only when ion landscape mode.
This error does not occur in Chrome.
Anyone else notice this? The error occurred in iOS 7 and now with 8.1
I would like to know if it is my iPad Air or Safari.

The EXACT same issue here, albeit an iPad 3, just over a year old, cannot click on anything in a web page till ive scrolled, it's just spazzed out on me and turned off with the apple logo, didn't turn back on, took me 10minutes to get the thing back on, everything is slower since ios8 and even worse since 8.0.2, apps don't respond, doesn't recognise multi gestures? Evidently this is a major problem and it would be prudent for Apple to check in on this one. I'm sure they could do without the press ravaging that one as well as a few morons who sat on their phones and want a replacement. (Unless they really do just fold under pressure, I wouldn't know - im still waiting for my £700 purchase to be delivered over a MONTH after it was promised).

IO Operation (read/write files) in IPAD AIR downgrade ~50% than the one in IPAD4

Summary:
UnZip the same file with the same native unzip method (native zlib) in IOS7, ipad air take +50% more time consumption than the one in iPAD4.
for unZip, it main perform the IO read/write files in ipad, does apple air already changes the file system ?
Steps to Reproduce:
UnZIP a file with native zlip on both ipad AIR and IPAD 4 :
IPAD AIR: 16GB
IPAD 4: 16GB
ZIP file size: 700KB
Files in zip file: 225 files (120 files are images)
after remove the images, the time on IPAD AIR will save 50% time consumption
unZip method: the native zlib
unzip time on IPAD AIR+ IOS7: ~1200ms
unzip time on IPAD 4+ IOS7: ~800ms
Expected Results:
The unzip time should be almost the same on IPAD AIR and IPAD4.
Actual Results:
For same IO operation read/write file, IPAD AIR gets the 50% downgrade performance than the one in IPAD4
Version:
IPAD4: 16GB WIFI + IOS7
IPAD AIR: 16GB WIFI + IOS7
does anyone else encounter the same problem ?
A bug already submitted for apple: https://devforums.apple.com/message/993060

I even tried porting the code to Gumbo and running it there - still, no fonts are being enumerated.
If you're too lazy to read the whole above post, here's the problem in one sentence
An SWF that contains a textfield with embedded fonts, when launched by itself succeeds to return the embedded font using Font.enumerateFonts(false), however when loaded using Loader.loadBytes into AIR, it fails to see those fonts even though the textfield in it is displayed and editable.
How do I make the loaded child application and AIR see the embedded font?

Ipad air lagging and graphic glitching

Ipad air lagging while playing games like temple run and candy crush, the graphic seems like glitching and the moving animation so slow compare to previous edition,,,,idk wht cause tis problem and now im waiting for new ios update hope it will fix it! Dissapointed.

I took it to genius bar and they replaced it with a new Ipad Air after getting them agreed to the graphic glitch. A more accurate description is the graphics are too jerky (as in not smooth). They agreed after running and comparing the same game (minion rush) in a new Ipad Air side-by-side. And the replaced Ipad Air began the same issue only after I got home. It came with 7.0.4 pre-installed, so there's no way I can know if it's the new iOS issue with Ipad Air or not.
I've compared it against other devices including GS4, note 8, Iphone 5s and even Ipad 3 and 4, where both Minion rush and gold star run smoothly. I tried to install other high graphic games and began to notice the problem is limited to these 2 apps only. Asphalt 8 graphics is too jerky itselfs to give it a real feel animation, so it's hard to judge in it. I'm wondering if it's just the app problems although both of them are claimed to be compatible with Ipad Air on their app store pages. But if it's really a universal problem with the app, I shouldn't be the only one Ipad Air owner facing it. There should be reports/complaints in forums/app comment boxes, shouldn't it?
If any of you own an Ipad Air too, can you please try to install these 2 games and reply me back coz I need to know whether this is a hardware problem requiring replacement or not.
Golf Star is most obvious when the power gauge moves up/down when u swing. You can compare it against any other later devices (apple or android)
It's most prominent in Minion Rush, from the video that comes on the very first run to throughout game play. The graphic is not smooth and too jerky to the point that even avoiding obstacles becomes too hard.
Please include your Ipad model and iOS too when you report back.
Thank you
