I had the keyboard connected, so I’m not sure if that was part of the problem. Small apps too, like a couple of MBs, and I have fast internet…So I thought I’d reset and see if that helped.Īfter kicking it off, it got to 31% quite quickly and I let it sit there for 4 hours before concluding something was wrong. I choose the SP4 because I have 3 iPad’s in the house, wanted a change, and within 3 days of having my SP4, I’m wanting to factory reset it as it was just soo buggy, it would hang, apps would randomly close, (free) apps would just not install from the app store, it would just say “starting downloading” or something like that, and just not do anything.
