occasional iPad 'slide to unlock' problem

    Hi all,

    I'm sure you're familiar with the 'slide to unlock' function on the iPad.

    So, sometimes, when I slide to unlock, it seems to get stuck in some way, and then even when I try to slide to unlock again, it refuses to 'slide' more than a few millimetres.

    It seems to happen if I am tilting the iPad as I try to unlock it, and the screen is rootating from horizontal to vertical (or landscape to portrait, or whatever the terms are). If it happens, the only thing I can do is to turn it off and restart it. Not the standby power button either, that doesn't work - it needs to be the full 'side to power off'.

    Has anybody else had this problem, or know anything about it?

    Something similar happened to mine recently. I thought it was related to the smartcover auto unlock. I didn't have to restart but did press the standby power off and on again which seemed to sync its state again.

    I did try the standby power button, but it didn't work for me.

    It's happened quite a few times now, to the point that I'm unconsciously more careful when sliding to unlock than before.

    Sounds like a bug. Hopefully it'll be fixed in iOS 8.

    I've never experienced this with any iPad, but I've had it happen with my iPhone 5 a few times.
