IPad mini immediately sleeps

Just bought a mini retina. All OK except a weird thing on powering up from completely shut down. The home screen and swipe bar only appears for a split second before the iPad sleeps.You can press the home button and everything re-appears as normal, but it seems odd that you are not given time to enter the code the first time!
Is this normal?
Is there a reason behind it?
Thanks - it's not a big issue, but it is a little strange.

What is your iPad's capacity?  I have this same issue with my 32gb iPad mini retina wi-fi on iOS 7.0.4.  On boot (both soft and hard reset) the lockscreen will show for only a split second then sleep immediately without giving me a chance to swipe to unlock. I have also tried fully restoring multiple times, but to no avail. 
Oddly though, I have two friends that have the 16gb versions of the mini retina and they do not have this issue. 
Like you said, not a major issue... just more annoying than anything and I'm hoping that it is an iOS issue... something that a future update may fix...
It's strange though that this issue seems to be inconsistent across devices...

  • IPad Mini - "Sign in to Facetime" continually pops up; can't get rid of it or do anything else. I've never signed in to Facetime. Help.

    When I open the iPad Mini, immediately a "Sign in to Facetime" message pops up, along with a keyboard. If I 'cancel' it pops back within a second or so. I cannot do anything on the Mini now. What happened? (I have never used Facetime.) The only 'odd' thing I did recently was to delete unwanted free games. Help, please. JoAnne

    Try RIGHT clicking on different areas of the toolbars on Firefox, mainly try right clicking on/around the url bar & forward/back navigation buttons. When you get the correct spot if will give you a menu with the toolbars available (whether or not they're active) and a couple other options. Just uncheck the Yahoo one & you should be all set.
    As you say though it may be some other bar disguised as a yahoo bar. Any chance you can get a screen shot of it & post it here?

  • APPS ON THE ipAD mINI OPEN AND THEN IMMEDIATELY CLOSE. i'VE TRIED REBOOTING BUT STILL HAVE SAME RESULT

    APPS ON THE iPAD MINI BRIEFLY APPEAR TO OPEN AND THEN IMMEDIATELY CLOSE. already TRIED REBOOT BUT SAME ISSUE.

    Have you tried a reset?  Hold down Home and On/Off buttons, ignoring slider until you see the Apple logo.  Then release the buttons.  The device will reset--you will lose no data.  Please don't shout--using all caps is not only rude but it is hard to read.

  • On my ipad mini, when I delete an email from the inbox (and it goes into Trash), it immediately deletes that email from the server (ATT/Yahoo).  I've called support for both ATT and Apple and can't find a way to have the emails remain on the server.

    On my iPad Mini, when I delete an email from the inbox (and it goes into Trash), it immediately deletes that email from the server (ATT/Yahoo).  I've called support for both ATT and Apple and can't find a way to have the emails remain on the server. 
    My husband and I share an email address and if he misses a day checking email on his notebook, he doesn't receive the items that I have sent to Trash on my iPad Mini.
    Appreciate suggestions.
    [The curious thing is, if I "move" the deleted emails from Trash on my iPad Mini into the Inbox, I can go to my notebook, open my online email and they are back in my ATT/Yahoo Inbox.]

    Is your Yahoo account set up as POP3 or IMAP?

    My ipad mini is frozen in an app and the home button is stuck.  Pressing the wake/sleep button does not bring up the red slider to turn the ipad off. Is there any other way I can reset the ipad?  Can I remove the battery? and then put it back in?

    No the battery is non removable.
    Try a Reset  ( No Data will be Lost )
    Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
    Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
    Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
    Release the Buttons...

    The router indicates STBC for the iPad 3, but not for the iPad 4...

  • Ipad mini sleeping issues

    I have an ipad mini, running jail broken ios 7.0.4
    I have it set to sleep after two minutes, but it often doesn't go to sleep. Any thoughts?

    I'm not making any judgment, honesty I'm not. You are free to do whatever you want to with the devices that you bought and paid for.
    I'm just saying that if the device is jail broken, you're most likely not going to get any help here. First of all, because the overwhelming majority of the users here are not jailbreaking and don't have the answers, and second of all other than suggesting that you restore the device to its unjailbroken original factory settings, we are not supposed to be making suggestions as to how you can fix issues with a jailbroken device.

  • My iPad mini adapter shorted...I bought a new one but since it charges very slowly and when charged to 100% it falls to 95% immediately after being unplugged...what might be the issue????

    my iPad mini adapter shorted...I bought a new one but since it charges very slowly and when charged to 100% it falls to 95% immediately after being unplugged...what might be the issue????

    When it does that. Replug the charger and charge to 100%. Now does is stay charged when you unplug the charger.
    You may need to recalibrate your battery.
    Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.

  • Does your Wifi drop when your iPad mini went into sleep mode after upgrading to iOS 7?

    Dear iPad mini users, to those who have upgraded to iOS 7 like I did, do you experienced WiFi drop when your iPad is in sleeping mode? I noticed this problem only few days after upgrading my iOS. Initially I don't think there is such issue. After your iPad mini recover fom sleep mode, then it will automatically connect to WiFi again. My point is it no longer connected to WiFi in sleeping mode and so could not keep me up-to-date with my mail if I am on WiFi.
    Do share your view and if there is a solution, do share with me please. I have tried almost all solutions available online but no no avail. At the moment, I am activating my 3G network so that when mail came in, my iPad will notify me even during its sleeping mode but this is getting expensive considering I am using the 3G 24 hours every day now.

    I found an solution. Go to Settings/Mail, Contact, Calendar/Fetch new data and than enable Push and choose to fetch hourly or every 30 minutes. In this case your iPad will stay connected to wifi even when smart cover is closed. If you select Manualy than wifi connection will be terminated when in sleep mode.

    Why iPad mini battery drain so quickly in sleep mode? about 35% in 7 days sleep mode (100% to 65%). Compare with my iPad 2, 7 days in sleep mode, only 2%! (100 - 98%). is it because differences in iOS? iPad mini iOS 6.0.1, iPad 2 iOS 4.3.3. I'm really frustating because of this. thanks for help

    What kind of ipad mini / ipad 2 you got?
    AFAIK,
    1. ipads drain battery with 3g/4g on (regardless on wifi or not) 1% overnight.. so for 7 days .. 65 is about correct.
    2. Are your ipads setup to receive remote push notification? (more push = more battery drain.. as the screen lit up)
    3. With iOS 6 vs iOS 4 .. there are more stuff running in the background and more toggles.. that could also contribute to battery drain.
