Ipad mini 6 I just purchased an ipad mini 6 and it will not go to sleep when the cover is closed. Yes the lock/unlock is turned on and its set to auto shut down in 5 mins but just will not shut off when you close the lid.

IPad won't awaken from sleep Since the latest iOS update, my iPad refuses to awaken from sleep when the magnetic cover is opened. I have to restart by holding home and power buttons down. I've tried different "sleep after" settings including the "never" setting. I suspect something with the new power saving, battery life software but I don't know. Any idea what's going on?

Ipad Air 2 keeps switching off when on charge and has the 'charge battery' screen My iPad continuously turns off and goes straight to the black screen with the empty battery. More often then not it won't turn back on even when on charge and will only turn back on if I hold down the sleep/wake button a few times. Even then, it won't turn on a lot of the time. If it is working, as soon as I take it off charge, it shuts down within a couple of minutes even if it is at full battery capacity. Not sure if it is a problem with the battery of some other hardware.

Hello HokuKaii, Have you checked your settings? Settings > Display & Brightness > Choose a Auto Lock Time NOT NEVER.
