iPad randomly shuts off (goes black) returns to lock screen

I have removed the lock screen setting but did still logs every 5 to 10 minutes. I also get the complete widescreen with the Apple logo and have to press the on off button which then makes the screen go black and then when I press the home button and the lock screen comes on. I switched all manners of lock screen off even the option that when you close the iPad cover that the magnet does not close and start the lock screen even that is switched off.

Every five minutes or 10, my iPad still locks even though it's told to Knobloch as in, never.

It's not a simple setting matter except perhaps for some of you. But there are thousands of iPad users including me with this iPad Air which I just bought two months ago, who are still getting the black on white screen of temporary death.

My theory is that half of the reason the iPad is so powerful is that it's tiny brain is helped by lots of little energy savers such as the thing in Safari with deactivate any flash our YouTube videos until you click on them which is actually totally bothersome to me because it deactivates all of the rich media content within website which is particularly what you want to see.

Anyway basically the iPad is made to look a lot more powerful than it really is and so if you multitask our use certain kinds of apps memory outage will begin to happen and you will get these lock screens or white or black screens it is because of memory outage

I was investigating the issue for a client who'd reported the problem starting last year and getting progressively worse.

Have since proven that the magnets in the edge of his case are causing the lock/unlock, but your response helped to diagnose this fault. Most appreciated!!

HI,

can can you please help me to find where this option is located in settings. My iPad mini runs ios7.

sthe screen blinks and goes to lock mode automatically, sometimes a touch or swipe on screen during app use also locks screen.

Can anyone help me please.

Sorry I am a bit skeptical about the whole 9.0 update. Amazing timing for Apple just as the latest sales figures for the newer IPad versions are released. Apple decides to release an update that virtually makes all older versions of the IPad loose access to two thirds of their memory. The worse part about the whole issue is Apples silence to the whole issue. It is obvious that they are receiving hundreds of thousands of crash reports being sent back to Apple and they appear to be sitting on their hands and their silence is deafening. Authorities in each country should be investigating whether Apple has deliberately released corrupted code so all older models will consistently crash and users will be forced to upgrade their IPad models. Either way Apple should investigate why this code was allowed to be released and the incompetent writers of this "code" should fix the problem or release an update removing the damaging "memory corruption coding" . Either way Apple "shame" for sitting on your hands and doing nothing about "righting the wrong"!

i have two mini's iPad4, ipod, iPod touch, iPhone 4 and 5s, amoung other apple products and my iPhone 4 and touch outperforms the ipad mini's now. The most recent issue appears after second to last update. Mini screen goes black, Siri, sound camera, screen shot, all still work. When I press the top power button twice the login screen appears and you can log in again, however not for long And it happens all over. The black screen is backlit. I removed autolock to no avail.

I would not be surprised if miscoding is behind massive performance drops in older sound products. Apple was a quality but profits are now before product...

With being heavily invested in Apple and in unison with my children's education, leaves me thinking of alternatives, as the Apple Brand becomes tainted and their commitment to resolving known issue fade, so too does my faith in their products & services.

a full restore is your best option at this point. as long as you backup beforehand, you'll be fine. and to be honest, until you do, no one here will be able to help you any further.

Thanks cindie47. I knew it was some simple setting, but not which one. My iPad works fine now. I can now cancel my Genius Bar appt.

I have the same problem. Done all suggestions and the screen still scrolling between switch off screen and slide to unlock screen. Was at the Genius Bar yesterday! :-(

Need some more ideas please!

Nice idea to turn Off the Lock feature, but it had no effect for me as my iPad 3 simply rebooted 2 minutes after changing this setting.

THANK YOU! After searching the forims with NO ANSWERS from anyone else that actually fixed the problem, your answer SOLVED EVERYTHING SO EASY!

Thank You! Your answer to this promlem has solved my issue!

I had an ifrogz case on my ipad when it would shut off randomly. I bought and apple case and it seems to have solved the problem, auto lock feature works correctly.

HI there,thank you for sharing,just tried so hopefully problem solved.
