Keyboard input slowdowns on iPad mini

While typing into a text box on various forums and when entering comments on a blog site I will get to a point the I can no longer enter text.  The audible feedback of the keyboard continues but no letters appear.  If I wait, sometimes a letter or two may appear.  Generally I'd I backspace it will delete  letters, but I'm still unable to type additional  text.  It's not site limitation as I can type long text enters in Notes and paste the text just fine.  Preforming the same action from an iPad 3 or and iPhone 4S does not have this problem. I don't remember having this problem with iPad 2.
I think this a memory relate to the iPad mini or iOS 6.
This can happen if Safari is the only App currently running, but at a higher frequencies with other Apps list the recent used App bar.  If I switch out of Safari and run XSysinfo the amount of free memory is low. If I pull to gather memory (missed reference as a memory refresh) then switch back to Safari, most times I can continue typing. This is a course if Safari was able to retain the tab in memory, which does not seem to be the rule.  I've had free memory as low as 5.2MB and after recover be at 200+MB.
If I open two tabs in Safari (after memory gather) I can switch the two tabs with content retained, but opening more tabs will cause each tab to be redrawn as you switch between them.  Again this not the behavior experienced on an iPad 3.  I have experienced the problem on various websites and to a far lesser extent in notes, pages and email.
AND;
Yes, I have with newly boot device
No, I have not pulled the XSysyinfo screen more than once.
Yes, the more Apps I'm in and out of before a reboot, a gather the faster the problem wii appear
No, removing App icons/stubs from recently run Apps bar does not release all memory used by App.
I think this related to them iPad mini having only 512MB of Ram (Apples only fail on the mini), but I didn't have this problem on the iPad 2.
Here's the Question, has anyone else seen or heard of the problem?  Could it be a hardware failure (unlikely, but preferable)?
iPad mini 32GB, AT&T cellular (not turn on)

Don't know why it tagged your reply as helpfull.
First off it's not a task bar, it's a recently used App bar.  Wether an App can run in the background, suspend itself, just hang around in memory or kills itself on exit they still show up in what you refer to as the Task Bar. 
This suggestion should have been negated by the line "No, removing App icons/stubs from the resently run Apps bar does not release all memory used by [an] App". 
Your second idea was covered in the line "Yes, I have [the same problem] with newly boot[ed] device".
Ok, I left out a few words, but surely if you feel qualified to provide answers you should have been able to infer entened information.
Based on the complete text why would think these basic solutions would have been missed.  Neither of these suggestion are solutions, this would be like call ing your car manufacture with the problem, "I drive my car for about 15 minutes and then it stalls, after I roll to stop and wait about 2 minutes it will restart again"  and thier answers is "Stop driving after 14 minutes, turn your care off, wait 10 seconds and restart your car".

  • TA24778 issues with pairing an Apple wireless keyboard by bluetooth with iPad Mini

    Does anyone have any tips about successfully pairing an Ipad Mini with an Apple Wireless keyboard, please? Apart from changing the batteries on the keyboard, I have had a lot of difficulty in doing it successfully.

    Which Apple wireless keyboard are you using?
    See this Apple doc -> iOS: Apple Wireless Keyboard compatibility
    The original Apple Wireless Keyboard, introduced in 2003, is not compatible:
    Apple Wireless Keyboard (2003): Features a white case and uses four AA batteries.
    If you're using a compatible keyboard, does it pair with your Mac? Try turning it off and then back on and then pairing it again.

  • Can't get Apple bluetooth keyboard to pair with iPad mini.  It pairs okay with my Touch.

    Is there a problem with the new operating system on the iPad that keeps the Apple bluetooth keyboard from pairing?

    I have the same issue after todays upgrade.
    Solved by using third party bluetooth dongle
    Definitely a yosemite software issue.

    Does Apple make a keyboard for the iPad mini? I can't find it on the Apple website store.

    I have a Logitech for my older iPad 2 and my iPad mini.
    This is the one I have for my mini.   I have it in purple.  Works great and is very slim and neat.   Has a loop on the front for a stylus pen and enough space so it tucks in to front of cover.

    Actually, they do make them. I am using one made by apple right now for my desktop, and it works fine. Though if you want a keyboard case for your iPad Mini, I recommend getting a case with a keyboard attached, because I try using a wireless keyboard with my iPad Mini and it is very easily lost and is a pain in the neck. Though, trust me, there are keyboard cases for the Mini out there!

    I cannot get the keyboard to come up on the ipad mini when in the citrix receiver.  Has anyone ran into this and do you know how to fix it?

    I am not familiar with Citrix Reciever but is it possible it is open or being used in another open app?
    Try quitting all apps then try again.
    Quit all apps: Double tap the Home button and swipe the app preview page up for each open app

  • I need to reprogram the delete and enter key to the left side of a external keyboard for the ipad mini. don't need the caps/lock or ctrl key and due to an injury my daughter can only use her left hand to type. She is using a text to speech app to verbaliz

    I need to reprogram the delete and enter key to the left side of a external keyboard for the ipad mini. I don't need the caps/lock or ctrl key. Due to a brain injury my daughter can only use her left hand to type. She also uses a text to speech app to verbalize all of her needs since her speech isn't intelligible any longer either. And her vision was significantly affected also, so the keyboard has to be mounted about 6 inches from her face. So to reach across the keyboard with her left hand to the right side delete and enter button is physically difficult and causes typing errors, which cause people to not understand what shes trying to say.
    The best keyboard so far is the Zagg folio mini. I just had to make stickers to enlarge the letters on the key buttons.
    Does anyone know how I can reprogram these two keys? Or where I can buy a wireless mini keyboard for Ipad made for lefthanders with these two functions on the left side. I have searched for days and days. It's sooooo important to me that she be able to contribute her voice again. Imagine if you got in a car accident and couldn't speak clearly any longer, but understood everything still. Thanks for any help and suggestions you all take the time to share with me. I really appreciate the kindness of strangers to help me help my daughter.

  • My Logitech keyboard no longer connects to my iPad mini?

    My Logitech keyboard no longer connects to my iPad mini?

    Is your keyboard charged?
    If it is, then ...
    on your iPad go to Settings > Bluetooth
    1)  Does your keyboard appear under Devices? 
    2)  Does it appear under Now Discoverable?
    If the answer to (2) is yes, touch it to discover it, and then it should appear under Devices.
    If the answer to (1) is yes, touch it to connect to it.
    If you have done the above and it refuses to connect, then touch the little blue i beside your keyboard's name, and then choose Forget this Device.
    Now turn your keyboard off and then on.  The little light on your keyboard should come on.  See if it appears on your iPad as discoverable. 
    If that doesn't work press the button on the behind the power slider on your keyboard.  The light on the keyboard should flash blue.  Now see if it is discoverable.
    If that still doesn't work Reset your iPad, then turn your keyboard off and on.
    to Reset your iPad:  Hold both the Home and Power buttons down for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears.  Let go promptly when the logo appears.  Wait another 30 seconds for your iPad to turn itself on.  No data will be lost.

    Unfortunately... Once the Device is asking to be Restored with iTunes... it is too late to save anything...
    See Here  >  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

    Re-Sync your Content or Restore from the most recent Backup...

  • How to use the phone's Mini-Keyboard Input with the 'Textbox'(MIDP2.0)?

    (My apology. My English is not perfect but I'll try my best. >_<)
    Hi. I'm trying to create a textbox(in my own little application) that is compatible with the mini-keyboard input feature.
    This problem involved any device that have a built-in "mini-keyboard".
    Problem:
    I tried the 'Textbox' class from MIDP2.0 but the result, as expected, is like using the phones with no built-in keyboard.
    (Forexample if I want to input the character 'C' inthe text box, I need to press number '2' button three times to let it circle through 'A' -> 'B' then 'C'. )
    Then I tried entering URLs in the phone's built-in web browser, the result is I can use the mini keyboard to type like a PC keyboard.
    Question: How do I implement such textbox that is fully compatible with the built-in mini Keyboard?
    I tried browsing through the MIDP2.0 API but it seems the 'Textbox' class there couldn't do it.
    Thank you. =)
    /bow
    Edit/Delete Message

    The textbox should have input just as any other normal phone input. If not, something strange is going on.
    Anyway , there is no use to make your own input method, since every phone has another implementation of this anyway. It would only confuse users.

    This also is not app specific

    The ' and " are alternate selections for those keys. If you press and hold on those keys you will see those choices.
    Apparently, when you are typing, you are holding the keys down too long and getting the alternates.

  • Connecting an Apple wireless keyboard to iPad mini

    I have an Apple wireless keyboard which I use with my MacMini and have tried to get it to work on my new iPad Mini (it is love at first sight, that is me and the iPad mini) but with no sucess.  This maybe down to me but perhaps the keyboard can only work with one machine.  Any thoughts out there?

    If its paired and in range of the iMac it will auto connect to it. You may need to unpair it form the Mac mini before pairing with the iPad, or make sure the Mac Mini is off or out of range when you initate the pairing with the iPad.
