Respring on iPad3 iOS 7.0.4
Hello everybody, I hope this can be of any help: This respring issue has happened on mi iPad3 for about a month now. It started while using a specific App I use [rather frequently] for reading and annotating, therefore I strongly believe it is related to memory usage (perhaps GPU?) since I often load a full library of hefty .pdfs such as books on that app. It has not happened while using Safari, Netflix, Youtube or any other video app, unlike many of you, not even while swiping and despite dozens of tabs in Safari. I'm using iOS 7.0.4 and this started happening this year. Since I've had the iPad for more than two years now, I'd say it has to with iOS 7; I ran a previous version of that same app on iOS6 last year and it ran smoothly, never crashed. When I adressed the app's CS dept they referred me to this thread and said themselves it had to do with iOS. The # of times it resprings depends usually on how long I use the app or the processes that occur within the app, but on a busy day it can easily happen +5 times. Here r some frags of the reports:
Exception Type: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGSEGV)
Exception Subtype: KERN_INVALID_ADDRESS at 0x00000008

here's another crash report triggered by the same app:

Curiously enough, the other [in my opinion] memory intensive app I've used recently is Microsoft Lync, on which I held a 2h conference call (A/V). Report:

Funny thing is although the app crashed, it wouldn't respring, so in my case [so far] I only get the apple logo, blackscreen quick reboot etc. only with that specific app (GoodNotes: great app, not sure they're to blame and must say they've been dilligent and helpful). I also own an iPhone 4S (2yrs +-) iOS 7.0.4, with the same app installed [but never really used it ~ seriously]. It has NOT resprung on a regular basis, nor can I say occasional [rare] reboots are related to any specific app; in fact I can't remember the last time it rebooted, so right now I'd say it's focused on the iPad.
I have not yet tried any of the solutions listed above, except for turning off background updates (which I just did), even though GoodNotes isn't even on that list, and must say I am not really expecting this to solve the matter. [I'll let u know if I must take back these words and swallow them]
Bottom line: I expect Apple addresses this issue soon enough and shed a bit more light regarding the alleged graphics-memory link, because right now I refuse 2 undergo such a pain in the ass process as full, clean reinstalling EVERYTHING.
Cheers, have a nice day.
