My iPad keeps locking itself every few seconds, any ideas how to fix it... Drives me crazy as the screen keeps going blank and I have to constantly put in my pass code every few seconds. Can someone help me out please. The pass code lock is set at 10 minutes but it's happening every few seconds :(

Hi. Seems you have the dec 2 date bug. It depends if you have ios11.2 already. If you don’t then simply update your iOS on iPad

If you do have ios11.2 go straight to step2 below

You won’t loose anything by doing the following. 1. Manually change your date to dec1st. Then update to ios11.2

2. Then Goto settings display and brightness and change the auto lock to 5 mins
