Q: Ipad air low memory crash

I came to this forum to see if other ipad air owners are experiencing same problem with low memory crashing as I do but seems like I'm one of the few people have this. So far I have 10 low memory crash reports. I also have about 30 more crash reports but it's from various apps. I got my ipad air on the launch day, second in line, here in California. Maybe I just have a defective one, I don't know. If you have same issues, please reply so I can determine if I should return it or just live with it. Closing apps every day is a hassle. I wish Apple just put in extra gig of ram. Overall, I am extremely happy with my ipad. There are so many good this things to mention about this ipad but this is wrong thread to do that.

iOS 7.0.3

A:

After trying out ios7.1 for number of days now I must say this a huge improvement. It still crashes once in a while but that is not an issue anymore. Nothing is perfect in this world. I do wish there was more ram because memory is constantly running low. I also wish iPads had memory card slot but knowing how stingy Apple is with memory that is just wishful thinking.

 

I'll give credit where credit is due. Apple engineers did a great job improving this operating system however this should have been done when this device was first launched. This would have avoided millions of customer dissatisfaction.

    To my great surprise, I deleted all my cookies and ... No more crashes with those websites so far.

     

    Anyone can confirm?

     

    thanks for the tips.

    @Komanguy

    Can confirm that with your Site my Browser "ICABMOBILE Version 8.01" is crashing on my IPAD AIR to Springbaord/Desktop. But no details in Diagnostic found for this Crash. The other Browsers like Safari und Chrome works with your Site...

     

    Strange...

    Clearing Safari Cache and Cookies Data solved all problems with Safari.

    This is a class of problems that easily overflow into Background Refresh, Power Management and Hardware.

    Surprisingly, clearing the cache and cookies substantially improved my crashing/low memory issue. I wonder why?

    My guess is that there is a threshold of used RAM after which you get a crash. It's probably about releasing memory or something.

    7.1 probably fixed something in Safari that raised the threshold,nut it's still there.

    I get fewer crashes on a site that had a lot before. As I use the site during the day I  get a few more crashes. I also seem to get them with rapid zooms and page refreshes. That tells me memory isn't getting released.

     

    It's much better, but I still wonder why no one outside Apple has posted anything about the why. Or even what changes to the code Apple made.

    Wow,  I reviewed this thread six weeks ago and people are still having problems.  Wake up and smell the coffee.  If you are Apple lovers, just wait for the next disappointing IOS version that over promises and under delivers.  I have spent a small fortune in Apple products over the last 20 years.  Yes, I bought a Newton MP2000.  I have every version of the iPad, each was a waste of money!  I can't even hand them down to my kids, they prefer other brands other than Apple.  Yes, Samsung makes a better product!  Plastic...really, I would rather have a plastic product that works than a stamped aluminum product that does not meet my expectations.

     

    Okay Apple lovers, before you get ******-off and respond with nasty replies...Apple is a great technology company.  The problem is they want to spoon feed new features to the public to maximize sales.  When  will the iPad get more than 1GB of RAM?  Probably 2020 with the new iPad Nitrogen and IOS 13.  It will have the new cataract display and a titanium case. 

     

    Can't wait to see the responses to this post.  Apple lovers, demand a better product!  Stop accepting the mediocre crap that we have been brain washed to think is the best.  You are being manipulated into buying more often than necessary.

    I also have had many iProducts. I presently have an iPad Air and an iPhone 5. My wife and son have Nexus Android tablets that never crash. I'm considering "defecting" as well. My ATT contract is up in September. I waiting to see the next Nexus Phone and tablet, and the rumored Amazon phone.

    Hahahahahaha

     

    I have a lot of Apple products... I agree about this iOS produts! I sold my iPad Air after some months. Constantly Safari crashes and lack of handle more than one tab: re-loads, re-loads and re-loads!

    Of course this is a ram-problem! The cheapest tablet on the market have at least 2GB ram today.

     

    I bought a Windows tablet. It works very stable, not as quick as the iPad Air - BUT very stable!

     

    Apple´s update of ram in the future (2020) going to be a overwhelmingly party! Now the iPad have 1.1GB RAM - WOW!!!

    For the first time I'm totally disapointed with my IPad (Air). i owned ipad 2 and 3 and I didn't experienced such crashes.

     

    It is terrible to have such a device and not be able to use it fully. It´s a shame, Apple has no solution for that. Horrible.

     

    A lot of updates for nothing, and people still buy this unfinished product.

    No, the Problem is Software related...

    The developer can replicate my Crash with above site.

    The developer have a iPad Mini Retina.

     

    The Problem is IOS7, IOS7 Need till 10 times more Memory than Ios 5 or 6.

    There are some big problems in Apples Webkit.
