    iPad playing up, it's as if it's got a mind of its own, it will be working ok and say I'm typing an e-mail suddenly the keyboard starts operating itself as if someone's typing on it, what it types is just a load or random numbers, letters, spaces, punctuation etc, it has on occasions deleted everything I've typed, it even switches the iPad off and back on by itself,,,  if I'm playing a game such as our daily quiz it will just pick random answers (mmmm, possibly that's why I'm doing so well) or submit the quiz before I'm finished, or if I'm looking at photos it will just start randomly flicking through my photos at great speed, it will flick randomly from notes to pictures, Internet, games anything,,, I've tried resetting the iPad umpteen times this makes no difference, I then reset the settings back to factory default, initially I thought this had fixed the problem, then after I switched the iPad off and then back on the problem was back, there's no set timing as to when the problems going to occur, sometimes iPads ok, but more recently the problems more persistent, I can be on the iPad only for a few seconds and it starts, or sometimes fifteen minutes or more before the problem occurs...
    It just started at random not after an update or anything, I have the iPad in a protective cover, I thought that may be causing it to overheat so took it out of it but that made no difference...
    Ironically typing this it ain't fecked up once...


    That said, took me ages to log in due to iPad typing its own thing...

    That question/explanation is exactly what's going on with my iPad, am gonna try the fixes in the answer below and see if that helps...

    I have a good quality screen saver fitted to the screen and was wondering myself if that may be causing problems, but don't know if I'd damage the screen saver removing it or if it would reattach again...

    I tried the "folding" the screen thing pre typing this and all has been ok so far...
