Afizzat, do you have an iPhone 4? Because if you do, you can use the new Personal Hotspot feature, which sort of turns your iPhone 4 into a mifi device. Correct me guys if I am wrong.

By the way, the iPad 2 is getting bashed in gsmarena in the voting results, lots of trolls and Apple haters there. I don't think that's very nice. So if you love your iPad 2, at least pop over there and give it a good vote.

I read in several threads (but for iPhone 4) and these two solutions surprisingly worked in quite a number of cases.

Solution 1:

Blast some air into the charging port at the bottom to release trapped dust (Try googling first, because I also read there is a risk of dust getting under the screen, which is annoying).

or

Solution 2:

Massage the two spaces on either side of the home button, >>>>>O<<<<< (something like that)


Again, the above was for iPhone 4, not iPad, but you never know.

Guys, I'm noticing a lot of these crash issues being complained about here. I notice it more than usual, and my feeling is because there is a lot of new buyers at once, hence a lot of guys who just installed a ton of apps on their iPads.

Simple solution: Restart your iPad.

Press Home button and Power button together, until it switches off, and keep it pressed, until the Apple logo appears.

In general, it is quite helpful to restart your iPhone or iPad after installing an app. This clears the memory and applications perform better. Try it and I think that most issues here, will clear up. Also, this is generally good practice after installing applications.

Hope this helps.

People with Macs listen up, a small tip:

Mac has a nice ability to save anything as a PDF under the Print menu. I find that for anything that I want to read later, its convenient for me to press Print, then "Save as PDF" or "Mail as PDF" and send an email to myself. You can then open this in your iPad or iPhone mail, and have an option to open the PDF "open in iBooks".

So I use my iBooks as sort of a bank for things I want to read later.

No worries. Sorry it didn't work out for you. If the problem is really persistent, I would definitely go to the store and try to get a replacement. After all the money you spent, you should get a good machine that does its job.

I'm not familiar with the process tho, never returned anything so far, only repair on my MacBook. Maybe some of the guys here have experience and can advise you. Hope everything works out.
