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.

    GordyUK,

     

    Lets hope you are right.  Because right now my ipad is a paper weight.

    Ok, thank you so much ! So the situation can only go better for us. Very good news. The soft reboots are the most annoying thing in my opinion.

    Very good to hear! Can you check it a bit further and tell us a little more? Like: open the home page of several heavy sites (like The Verge, for example) and check how many of them you can keep open and fully loaded before it starts reloading them. Once you reach the limit what if you go to another app like youtube or the note app or google now (if you use it) and then go back to Safari? Does it reload? Thank you!

    He doesn't even own one. So of course he has no crashes. Mommy didn't buy him one for Xmas.

    I'm afraid you're right and the DFU restore doesn't solve the problem. I will test my device for some days to understand if it has solve the issue for me.

    Thanks for reporting what Apple engineers will say!

    The problem with your theory is people aren't just reporting crashes on ipad airs.

    Gordy I am glad it has worked out for you.  For me it has been a different story.  Tappe Out totally froze the iPad Air and eventually restarted.  All the sites that previously crashed Safari still happen.  The B2 was more stable IMO.  Anyway, I know bugs are normal but my 5S on the other side of the table is worse now than with the previous build.  For the first time ever I had to do a hard reset (home button and power) my screen totally locked up.  LowMemory and Crash logs building by the day

    Yeah, second that... Sorry to dampen others' ehthusiasm but I have been looking for impressions on beta 3 on other Apple-centric forums too and beta 3 doesn't solve much and introduces bugs of its own to boot.

    I have not had time to repond (and I really am misusing time right now doing so).

    I guess the discussion board does not support direct messaging.

    I am tempted to post my apple ID in this thread so we can have a friendly facetime where you demonstrate (front iphone camera facing mirror) how cool unlocking your device with TouchID is before you fire up safari and successfully load the website: http://www.machineryhouse.com.au/Common-Parts-Misc

    If for some reason the facetime session abruptly ends while your 5s visits that URL, I'll know that the iOS kernel just dispatched a slew of "kill -9" messages to every running app on your phone and you are staring at a Springboard in your mirror, and a fresh crashlog has been generated in your Diagnostics and Usage Data.

    This thread is spamming my inbox :-)

     

    Lots of good info, but ...

     

    We must resist feeding the troll.

    Ronfromtoronto, xdapao & nothinghurtstheblob

     

    I'm not trying to imply that 7.1.3 is the holy grail and its far too soon for me to wave the "solved" flag. I can only go from my experience and that from normal day to day use of all my apps, and safari, I haven't had one crash or soft boot. Its only been 3 days so it could all go wrong, but for now its fine.

     

    Nothinghurtstheblob, I'm no expert but is the URL you're suggesting one which should deliberately crash safari? I'm just please that from 7.0.4, the hourly or daily crashing has stopped at least for now

    Nope, *no one* of the many URLs that were posted on this thread was created to intentionally crash iOS devices. They all are just normal sites the posters who mentioned them regularly browse and so noticed that they crash their iDevices. There have been many posted...

    So update from the engineers, they have been having me log my crashes with thier configuration tool that they had me download.  I have just spent 2 hours trying to do this because the configuration tool keeps freezing when the apps or safari crash.  It was funny watching it log all things that iOS 7.0.4 are doing.  I cant tell you how many of these i got...  "warning sent: low memory"   then followed by low memory error, force quit all.

     

    Will keep you all posted

    Gordy no major crashes in the foreground since the reboot. However I do notice the following apps crashing a lot based on the logs.

     

    MobileMail

     

    There's a new log ExcRes which I haven't seen before it's also from the mail app. I guess it's exceeding resources. I'm a heavy email user so I guess it's crashing a bit much esp in the background. It crosses a high water mark of 108mb!

     

    NikePlus, yahoo weather and the phone app are all spitting out tons of exc-bad-access logs.

     

    Interestingly enough low memory logs have been missing the past two days. This is always brought on by Safari. I haven't tried crashing Safari lately and just using it regularly.  Although it did force me to do the hard reset earlier while I was typing a URL the keyboard and screen totally froze.

     

    Holy Grail far from it. But smoother than butter on the most part.
