My iPad 2 keeps turning off after ios8.3 update

apologies if others have already posted similar.

As a new user I am having terrible problems after updating to iOS 8.3 on my iPad 2. It takes ages to come on now, runs Slow, keeps turning off in mail and some apps, very slow typing, connection running slow, all my saved passwords disappeared and I had to re enter some contacts, I wish I had never updated my iPad!

will there be a fix or ios8.4 soon please or any help would be appreciated. I have tried all the reset, clear history, deleting unnecessary apps and everything I can think of but it'd no good.

Thanks in in advsnce for any help 🙂)

Have you tried these?

Re-boot ipad.

Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until a red slider appears, then drag the slider. Then press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears. page 128 iPad user manual.

force power down if the above give you trouble.

Hold down both the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button. Ten seconds or more. Hold until the Apple logo appears.

Restore to factory settings by loading the latest version of ios that your machine will support:

Do a full backup of your device. Twice is best -- cloud and computer.

"You can use iTunes to restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to factory settings and the latest version of iOS."

At last resort you could consider DFU (Device Firmware Update). This could void your warranty.
