I recently (like 30-60 minutes ago) installed iOS 7.0.3 on my iPad mini and now it randomly powers itself off and back on again (unless I power it off manually).
What should I do? It's really annoying to have it suddenly turn off every couple of minutes.
My thanks for any and all advice.
iPad, iOS 7.0.3, iPad mini,
Please try restoring your iPad mini from itunes,if the problem still prevails then i suggest yo take to Apple.
Thank you
Try reset all settings
Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings
Note: Data will not be affected but settings will be reset.
Before restoring and setting up as new (without backup) just for test purposes. Be sure to transfer purchases to the computer and backup. Don't want you to lose anything ;)
If the issue persists after setting up as new, it's hardware and it needs service.
Because it happened RIGHT AFTER the update it sounds like something weird happened during the update. If the issue is resolved after setting up as new restore from backup. If the issue comes right back you'll need to import pictures and any other important data, then restore as new, and the sync that content over. The one thing you'll if you need to sync is text messages.

Resetting the Settings is a better first step ;)
Well, I don't know how or why but my iPad suddenly decided to fix itself this morning. I turned it off during the night so it wouldn't constantly turn off and on (this is before I tried any of the suggested fixes because I went to bed soon after posting my original post). This morning I turned it back on again to see if the problem was still there, it was. After that I let my iPad rest on the breakfast table while I had breakfast. After breakfast I checked my iPad again and miraculously it didn't turn off on it's own. I've been using it for a couple of hours now and it still hasn't turned off by itself 🙂
I want to thank everyone for their help and I'll be sure to follow them should it ever happen again 🙂
