Since updating our iPad 3 to IOS 7 we are seeing it lockup / freeze several times each week. Currently we are running 7.04 and we are still seeing lockups and freezes several times each week.
Thanks for any suggestions.

iPad (3rd gen) Wi-Fi, iOS 7.0.4, Intermittent lock or freeze
(A) Reset iPad
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
Note: Data will not be affected.
(B) Reset all settings
Settings>General>Reset>Reset all settings
Note: Data will not be affected but settings will be reset.
I tried the suggestion of Settings>General>Reset>Reset all settings but I still get intermittent hangs every few days. I then did a complete Clear and Restore as a new iPad using iTunes and I still get intermittent hangs every few days. This same iPad3 never hung prior to updating to IOS 7. This has to be caused by a bug in IOS 7 that affects iPad3 models. I have noted that other iPad3 users are reporting this same hang, lockup, or freeze also.
Any further suggestions would be appreciated.
Have your restored your iPad as a new device? Or restored it from backup?
I have tried both a Restore from Backup and a Restore as a new iPad and then a manual sync of all my photos and apps. Neither Restore has stopped the intermittent lockups. The freeze or lockups only happen every third or fourth day but they never happened prior to updating to IOS 7.
Thanks for all suggestions.
I would recommend taking it to an Apple Store.
