Since I installed IOS 9.3.1 Build 13E238 on my iPad Air 2, I have been getting, several times a day, a random "activate iPad" message. This interrupts whatever I am doing, and I have to enter my id and password to clear it. Then it does return me to wherever I was. Rather irritating . . . Any help out there?
thanks,
Brad.

Basic troubleshooting.
Test after each steps:
Restart / Force Restart

Restore from backup
Restore as new

Restore to factory settings: Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings
There was an issue with activation with 9.3 on some older devices (not Air 2) that 9.3.1 (13E238) was supposed to have fixed. This is the first I hear about it on 9.3.1. All I can suggest is doing what ckuan already recommended. Maybe your update got corrupted during the download and if the forced restart does not solve then a restore may have to be performed.
A forced restart didn't help, but a restore from iCloud (with a 1 day old backup) seems to have worked - no occurrence in almost a week!
Thanks much for your help, ckuan and elcpu,
Brad.
My pleasure.
