iPad Air, iOS 8 and random reboots with blue screen

I Updated my iPad Air 16gb wifi model with iOS 8 yesterday and since then I am facing random reboots with blue screens. Is this a known issue or am I in trouble ?

HI


i have bought iPad air 20 days ago and as sons as update iOS 8, it was randomly restarting With a blue screen. I approached applencustomer care and didn't find any solution. I got my iPad replaced and I again updated the iOS 8.02 and now it again started the same issue. I am not sure what's happenig and I am sure that Apple is not known for this.


hope hope they will take some action!!!!

My IPad Air was working fine with the IOS 7. I have never encountered a BSoD !


I was able to do my regular chores like mail, documents, read news, watch videos on youtube and play games both online(Clan War), offline(Subway surfers) and heavy graphics games(Tank).


But now after an update to IOS 8, i am observing the following :

1) when my tab is idle for hours, nothing sort of Blue Screen of Death Happens.

2) Playing games mostly online and offline with minimal graphics is working fine.

3) playing 'more' games mostly online and offline with minimal grahics leads to BSoD within a period of an hour.

4) Heavy Graphics games are not working in the first place, they are freezing and when i frantically check for Multitasking and switch to other apps, the other apps are working quite well. but returning to the same heavy game through Multitasking, i am finding that the game is still in a freezing state.

5) Sometimes the Safari is not loading, and in most cases its loading too slow.

6) All the Subtitles of Settings left Bar are empty ! I don't remember if they are empty in the IOS 7.

7) Sometimes when i press buttons like 'Cancel' they are not responding, i think that is due to the less touch area provided to a text field. Still i was prety satisfied with IOS 7. These kind of things hurt when you see BSoD, as we go into a debug mode and search for more bugs in the product.


I/We truly believe Apple is a torch bearer, and will be so in an innovative way for delivering precious things to people. These kind of bugs hurt us, hope you do your QA good this time with sufficient time for QA without pressure on Devs and deliver a good product in a period of 1-2 months.


We love your products.
