Slides generated with ng-repeat causing issues (slide-box)

[Calendee]

Did you try replacing setTimeout with $timeout:

.controller('HomeCtrl', function($scope, $stateParams, $timeout, $ionicSlideBoxDelegate, DataHandler) {

$scope.data = {};

$scope.data.random_artists = DataHandler.GetRandomArtists(3);
  $timeout(function(){
      $ionicSlideBoxDelegate.update();
  },5000);
}
