Ipad Pro shuts off while charging and requires a hard reset to turn on

YYou must activate hey siri,that will fix your issue...

I had the same problem your having right out of the box until someone posted on here on using a different cord instead of the one which came with the iPad Pro. I tried using the lighting cord which I brought from Amazon and I never had the problem since. Another post post on here said they use their old cord from their iPad Air and the problem went away. I suggest you use a different cord that didn't come with the iPad Pro and see if that works.

Everyone keeps posting temporary fixes. Why not just send it back to Apple like I did and reorder when they get it right?

you know when 9.2 comes out and then you reorder another one, you will get another 9.1 iPad pro, and you'll have to update it to 9.2

so why bother ???

Because right now, you don't have an iPad Pro, while the rest of us do...all for the price of turning on "Hey, Siri."

So, I've had a week and a half of no issues charging, but this morning BOOM, lock up. So, what was different today? Well for one, I've had a week and a half of no lock up but without having hey siri turned on. Last night I turned the volume of my ipad pro all the way down so it was essentially muted. Overnight charge, lock up. SO, tonight I will turn the volume all the way down and turn hey siri on. If I recall, when I first got my ipad pro and was charging it over night I was muting my ipad pro at night, so that may have something to do. Will find out if the hey siri overrides the lockups from the muting. If it does I'm going to test to see if I can get it to lock up every time I have the hey siri turned off and the volume muted.

Did you connect a smart keyboard to your iPad Pro only from today, or have you always had your smart keyboard connected from day one when you got your iPad?

The reason I ask is because there was an earlier posting indicating that his/her iPad charged up successfully with no locking-up issues when charging without the smart keyboard connected to the device, then as soon as the smart keyboard was connected to the iPad - that's when the highlighted issues began to haunt.

I Bought 2 iPad Pro Wi-Fi Cellular 128GB, one silver & 1 gold. The gold one does this everyday. The silver one has done it twice. Have talked to applecare several times. I sent the gold one back and am waiting for a replacement. Was contacted by someone from apple care who is associated with the engineering dept. He had me do several maneuvers and then sent the data from my iPad to him. They are aware and are working on the problem. He said the replacement may have the same problem as it is probably a firmware or software problem. I have wasted a lot of time dealing with this. Tried all the reinstall etc. total waste of time. I will just do the hard reset everyday until they figure it out. I am not sending the second one in. I do not have a keyboard so I don't think the keyboard is the issue with mine. Don't know why one is having more problems than the other. This is very annoying. Apple products used to "just work".

go to hey-siri and activate both Siri and then your good to go.....voilà

I Do have à pro!

I had this same problem and am now on my second iPad Pro which, you guessed it, has the exact same problem. When checking various settings I saw "Hey Siri" was disabled. I enabled Hey Siri and have not had a single issue since. If your hey siri is disabled, switch it on and see what happens. I have absolutely no idea why this would solve the problem but it did for me.

By the way, it is the only setting i changed. the only variable from one night to the next is the toggling on of Hey Siri. Good luck!

I Have exactly the same problem. Went to Aaple shop and all they told me was to reset iPad Pro. Very disappointing response from Apple. Lost my respect

go to hey-siri and activate both Siri and then your good to go.....voilà

Got replacement Ipad yesterday. Plugged in overnight. Did NOT turn on Siri. Started up no problem, but then asked for my password and said it was needed after a restart. Must have restarted its self. At least I didn't have to do reset.will turn on Siri and see what happens tomorrow.

Date to my post above: I plugged in my iPad Pro into my iMac to do a local backup and left it connected overnight. Charge went from 77% to 100%. No hard reboot required. Upon ejection the iPad screen lit up and everything was as it was supposed to be. We shall see what the future brings. maybe this was a one-off event.
