IPad/RogueJuror

RJ, ever experienced or know of anyone who has experienced "Gray Screen" on the IPad?

I checked online this morning before leaving the house and things started out fine but very soon I couldn't reduce the main screen to the window that has all my other open windows saved. So I tried to do a search on the search portion and it did open the page to the search items but the screen went gray. Information is visible but screen stays gray and doesn't respond to touch.

Everything else works, all the apps and stuff except for Safari.

Nevermind RJ. Turns out I know more about technical stuff than I thought.

What was it? I have never seen that before.

Know how you push the round button to return to the apps screen and then push the top button to turn it off? Turns out that just pushing that button basically puts it in sleep mode and not actually off. You have to HOLD that button until the power off slide bar comes up to actually turn it all the way off.

That's all it took. Just needed to be completely turned off and reboot.

Here is another trick you might not know. You know if you press the round button twice quick it pops up at the bottom all the applications that are running, if you press and hold any app for like 2 seconds they start shaking with a red sign, if you click on the sign it "closes" the app clearing up the memory. If you have played with lots of apps and never close them they are all running in the background, sometimes it can slow down your machine.

Thanks, did not know that.
