iPad Pro 9.7 Random Restart

I have been submitting bug reports every time also. Hopefully with enough people submitting bug reports about this it will get fixed soon. I think a lot of people are having issues because over 4500 have looked at this thread.

Crashed again earlier trying to return to email from safari

I Literally read your post from mail, went to safari, used app switcher to go back to mail and it crashed. I wanted to see if what you said could be replicated and it was immediately replicated. I tried to replicate again, and no luck. I've tried switching from safari, back to mail, many times since then and it doesn't crash. I'm not sure how or why this happens but it's not easily replicated, but it obviously does happen.

It is somewhat random in that we can't nail down a 100% repeatable scenario, other than multitasking and mainly app switching. I keep seeing a "reason" in the jetsam events referencing VM-pagefile errors - this to me means there is a bug in memory handling in the 9.7" iPad Pro, which also explains why it only happens occasionally when switching apps, which changes the active app and puts other apps into holding parts of the memory. My guess is still that there is a chunk of leftover code for iOS on the A9X that thinks it should have 4gb RAM instead of just two, and when it attempts to park an active app in a memory space that is beyond the addressable RAM it panics and jetsam kicks in to emergency jettison apps from active memory. This is also why after it happens once it is usually a while before it happens again as the memory has been "cleaned out".

Someone can reproduce the bug https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mGG3dZhlDIg

it's a Springboard crash

This has actually been an issue for a while, at least 9.1 if not longer. It seems that it happens way more frequently on my iPad Pro 9.7 which is my gripe. I've seen videos like this in the past but it never actually happened to me, until I got the iPad Pro 9.7. This Springboard crash happens frequently to me now, never had this problem on my old Air.

is it a software bug or a hardware related issue?

I think it is a software bug. Apple keep replacing my new iPad Pro 9.7 and each replacement has had this crashes. So I have to think it is a software bug.

is there any chance this's a mass produced defected hardware issue. so the first batch of Ipad pro 9.7 have this issue. I'm just afraid this's the case:(

I have been to the genius bar several times and have also filed bug reports. Apple says it is a software bug and will be fixed in an update. My bug reports have been flagged as a duplicate issue that has already been reported. I hope the next update will fix it. I had 3 replacements and they all have done this.

I'm doing a little experiment based on the memory leak issue. I installed this little free app iRefresh Pro: RAM, CPU Usage Real-time & System Information and every day I purge memory...let's see what happens.

All the evidence already collected in this thread schould be sufficiant for Apple to officially react and propose a solution (either it being a hardware problem or a software problem), no ?

today again I had 2 crash. ive done the restore and reset all. it's just a few seconds but I'm so frustrated. anything new from yo guys?

I Called Apple yesterday day to ask if they are researching the iPad Pro 9.7. I was told that it is, as of May 8th, ( and this forum ) being placed in the repair mode! Let's hope that it's repaired in the next iOS update!!

Hummmmm, I hope it's soon! I just crashed after entering that reply!!
