Before the update I would just open my ipad cover and it would be unlocked. Now, randomly, my iPad will still be locked when I open it but the screen is lit up. I think its happening when I have a notification sitting there. (i.e. "_______ Has mentioned you on Facebook" or a text message) I've checked the setting where its supposed to unlock when opened. Is this just some new feature?
iPad (3rd generation) Wi-Fi, iOS 5.1
Same problem. iPad Mini won't sleep when smart cover is closed and won't wake when opening. I have to remember to manually turn off the device.
You mentioned a setting for unlocking. What is this?
Found it. Thanks.
Hi,
I too have this issue.
Here is the workaround, but is tedious and depends on how many notification apps you have.
Go Settings -> Notification Center -> Under INCLUDE ->
For each app, disable "Show on Lock Screen"
This will allow you to unlock using smart cover without swipe to unlock.
Downside would be you get no alert sound when new notification comes in. Unless its unlocked. Hope they resolve this issue asap.
Thank you. This helped a lot.
How did you do it
Still have to unlock ipad when using smart cover iOS7
