Mine started being finicky some time before iOS 9 released; first thing I noticed was it wouldn't update apps. Suddenly I had 9, 11 apps queued up for update and it wouldn't do it automatically, either with lightning cord hooked up or without (connected to my home wifi network all the time of course.)
The way I'd usually notice it hadn't updated apps was it'd pop up a notification saying "some" (almost a dozen at times) apps hadn't updated for whatever, 8 days or somesuch, asking me if I wanted to use mobile data to fetch updates. No matter which option I tapped in this notification, nothing would happen.
The thing is, my ipad doesn't even have cellular hardware...
Manually going to the app store and trying to update apps led to a few different conclusions: Tapping "update" on an app would sometimes make the circle appear, and immediatey get replaced by the "update" button again.
Sometimes the circle would fill in, partially or even fully, and then the update button would re-appear again.
Infrequently, the app update would work 100% all the way to the end.
It also doesn't synch photos taken with my iPhone, or web bookmarks.
I thought these issues would fix itself with iOS 9 getting released, but there was no improvement. It still misbehaves. It hasn't synched a single photo by itself since this whole thing started...
Lately, I have also been unable to send or receive text messages from the pad via my iPhone/handoff. The send bar appears, moves to about 90-95%, then sits there for quite a while not doing anything. Then "send failed" appears next to my message, with no information of what exactly went wrong.
Troubleshooting steps I've unsuccessfully tried:
*This synched photos and bookmarks that were present on iCloud at that point in time; new photos or bookmarks added after that point still aren't synched...
Any assistance much appreciated...

Troubleshooting steps I've unsuccessfully tried:
- Disabling wifi and re-enabling
- Switching to different wifi network
- Disabling iCloud synching and re-enabling
- Changing iCloud password
- Restarting iPad
- Forced reset of iPad (holding lock+home)
- Nuking entire pad, setting up from scratch as new*
