Q: IPad 1 repeated crashes: Will an update to carrier settings reduce the number of crashes and make my ipad 1 useable again?

Since updating to iOs 5.1, my iPad 1 crashes so often it is unuseable.  It normally crashes when using Chrome or Safari - but also on other programs such as  MotionX GPS.  I've just "restored" it using itumes - and on the way out was invited to update the carrier settings.  It has an old sim card in it - which I no longer use since my iphone can run as a mobile hotspot.  So the question is - will updating the carrier settings help - or does anyone know some other majic that might work?

    Carrier settings updates are small files that can include updates from Apple and your carrier to carrier-related settings, such as network, calling, cellular data, messaging, personal hotspot, and voicemail settings. You may receive notifications from time to time to install new carrier-settings updates.

     

    Does your iPad crash for all apps and use or just specific things?

     

    If it only crashes on specific apps make sure the apps are updated if they are not already.

     

    Also you may need to look into doing a back up and restore to factory settings.
