Hello,
I experienced with this ROM a strange issue: randomly with the phone in stand-by pressing the power button the phone is unable to switch on the screen and the only way to re-switch on the screen is a long press of power button in such a way that it is able to shutdown and reboot.
Has someone else experienced the same issue? Suggistions to fix it?
Thank you

better solution: don't use Darky's

best solution : read -> think -> dont hate !

Has this been reported to Darkyy? And if so, what is his response?

I've had a couple of random restarts on Darky's - I assumed it was due to the lagfix for some reason. But I've cleared the Dalvik Cache and will post back if that doesn't fix it!

Flash Darkyy's No-Wipe ^ flash Doc's No-Wipe. You will see the difference.

Shouldn't this be

i experience this whenever i had my phone plug in over-night to recharge to full 100%. after i unplug and off the screen, it just wont wake up until i long press power button to restart it. then after that, everything seems fine until my next overnight recharge.

Random reboots?
There are thousands of people running my ROM everday and don't have any issue like that.
The OP is indeed right - clearing caches might work.
You guys may have to wipe - don't worry, a new ROM which will do that 110% automatically is coming soon.

Installed R4 yesterday (going from another custom ROM via resurrection and then the latest greatest with wiping) and already experienced some reboots. Last one was trying to copy a directory from a sdram to external SD. Next try was OK.
I am going to wipe the caches - I'll report if this does not fix it.

on 10.2, just use another Launcher. TwLauncher is the issue.

I get random reboots when using Google Maps Navigation, it just freezes for 4-5 mins then reboots... sucks when driving...

Just adding my tuppence...
I wish to mention before I start that I am more than happy with all aspects of Darky's 10.2EE - it's a really snappy and slick-looking ROM.
I have had the ROM installed for about twelve hours now. I installed the ROM only after cleaning-down my SGS, removing anything and everything that was not stock, and formatting with prejudice...
...but I'm a little concerned about something. Three times today, the system has apparently rebooted, showing the boot animation.
I do not believe it is a standard reboot, however, as it is very quick. It is rather more like a quick reboot, where the ram is cleared and the front-end re-loads.
It has happened while I was restoring apps (app only, no data), while I was downloading game data (N.O.V.A 2 first launch) and one other time (I forget what I was doing).
I am running ADW Launcher EX, so I don't believe it has anything to do with TWLauncher, though I may be ill-informed to make such an assumption.
I imagine that restoring my apps and intensively downloading data might be putting my SGS under some stress, and while it does not reboot while running anything particularly CPU-intensive, it does appear to be occurring when moving large chunks of data around.
However rare this issue, I'd welcome sensible suggestions on what to look out for. I'm going to see if I can replicate the reboot while plugged into the log viewer - if anything useful comes of it, I will post the result.
Again, let me re-iterate that I am not complaining - this is an absolutely amazing ROM, and if it happens to perform a ten second reboot every now and again as a result of heavy downloading or data movement, I think I can live with it. Everything else lives up to the 'blazing fast' claim admirably, and there seem to be massive improvements to general performance in CPU-intensive apps too (I was previously running Tayatuma's FroYo ROM, and despite some glitchy behaviour, I was too lazy to get rid of it until now).

lol darky. thats funny

@Whie Hawk:
1. DO NOT use 10.2, if you can use 10.2.2 (you flashed recently, didn't you?);
2. you are on custom ROM. Therefore, it is ALWAYS better to install app from Market, than to restore it, as some "minor" differences can cause "big" issues;
3. I'm (personally) glad that you're not on the "blazing fast" stadium yet
4. what I'm doing while switching ROM... is: I have all... "out of market" apk's on card, ready for install, while the Titanium is rather a list for me, not the resource. simply, when I finish flush, I check on titanium what I had, and then I reinstall it fresh from Market/SD card. BTW, Titanium is best for freeze/backup/restore while I'm on same ROM...
@Sixhouse: sorry, I couldn't understand... For a time being, looking on your posts, I presume that you are aiming to have 10.000 useless posts on XDA in different device's threads... Is it a homework in your primary school?

Odd Problems with HTC Hero CDMA

I have this weird problem, and I can't figure out the cause.
Whenever I use my phone lately, it will randomly freeze/force close certain apps. It's super laggy. If I drag my hand/palm across the touch screen, it will stop lagging and perform all the touch commands that I had "queued" up. This seems to persist even though I just wiped+flashed my phone again.
I've got nandroid backups for my stock hero, CM6.1.0, and now I just wiped and flashed to CM7.0.2. Sitting in the CM7.0.2 setup wizard as I type this, and it's lagging like crazy. Is it possible my Hero is internally damaged somehow and that's causing the problems, or does it sound like software? My Hero has been through a LOT of bumps, some harder than any phone should have to endure.
Still, I'm strapped for cash and making the best of what I've got. Anyone got any ideas? Is it possible that I screwed something up using the adb shell when I was a little nooblet? And that said, is there anyway to wipe everything and start with a completely clean slate?

I'm new here but I've had a lot of different problems also. What I do is RUU and start over. It fixes a lot of screwups on my part... if you have the problems after RUU with stock s/w then I'd have to say its your phone. Good Luck.

First when a rom is starting up, it's likely to be SLOW, for 2 reasons, kernels need to "warm up" and the market is probably downloading a crapload of apps (this is a new feature). Second, it sounds like maybe you're device is running low on RAM, I would suggest you get an app from the market called "autokiller" and set the preset called "optimum". Third, go into settings/cm settings/performance and then set your governor to interactive 352-691 or ondemand 264-691. Fourth, go read a LOT of the threads in here and learn some stuff that will help you. Fifth, what recovery are you using and what exactly did you "wipe". Sixth, what do you mean could you have messed something up with adb shell?

1. Yeah I know that. I hadn't had this problem until the last couple months. Until then, it was more or less okay. The problem is, it really is a completely fresh rom.
2. The Hero is kind of a low memory phone to begin with, so that's certainly a possibility. 2.2 and 2.3 aren't exactly kind on old hardware.
3. I don't have those settings in 6.1.0. I was using SetCPU for awhile with it at 480-7XX (Can't remember, I think 791, as that was max) and OnDemand. I had some screen off, temperature, and battery profiles too.
4. Any specific threads I should read you can suggest? I was lurking on the forums for awhile before I did anything to my phone (didn't want to brick it).
5. I'm currently using Amon RA 1.6.2. I considered clockwork, but some people said it has more problems. I've heard complaints that Amon RA requires signed packages, but frankly it hasn't been a problem thus far. It actually saved me from bricking my phone when I was new to this whole thing. As for what I wiped, I simply went through Amon RA and wiped data, dalvik, battery stats and rotation. Don't know what battery stats/rotation are, but I am familiar with the Dalvik cache.
6. As for saying I could have messed something up, when I was flashing my phone, it was something I'd never done before. It's certainly possible I mistyped something or screwed something up.
I was hoping someone could help me to completely wipe it and start fresh, since I'm sure it's had its share of problems.
I would suggest flashing clockwork. You can wipe more areas of the system then the one you have. And it has more features. I personally made the switch.
As for your lag, it might be your hardware. If you did a clean install and wiped boot, system, cache, data, and dalvik, and installed the latest stable release and it's still laggy? Then things are not looking good brother.
You experience the same thing on a sense base ROM?
also it could be cpu govenors because usually by default most roms have it set to ondemand witch has always caused problems for me and as soon as i set it to performance its fine.

Are you aware that the performance governor runs at the MAX CPU speed all the time? Seriously. Your battery life must suck.

yea but otherwise my performance sucks lol.
most of the time on aosp and cm7 i cant even stream music without it freezing unless i set it to performance.

What is RUU? How do I do this? I tried to search the forums but it said search was unavailable. Would this return the phone to 100% stock, no recovery software or anything? That's really what I'd like to do now, to make sure there's not a trace of rooting or flashing left, that way I can start from scratch.

I tried using RomManager to flash Clockwork, and it still booted to Amon RA recovery. I'm going to try to use ADB to do it, but I don't know that I'll be able to.
EDIT: Manually pushed ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.0.7 onto my Hero.
Before I touch any of these settings, what will format boot, format system, formata data, and format cache do? Can it brick my phone, or will it let me flash a ROM onto a completely clean phone?
hmm thats very weird thats just about the only thing rom manager is good for now adays is installing cmr

You will not brick, that is how you wipe. You should also wipe dalvik cache. Go to this site for really good instructions :
www.romrepo.info/wiki
But please note when u wipe u "wipe" lol you will loose all your market apps and anything else installed just make sure you dont wipe sd card then youll loose all your photos and music backups exc...

So I downloaded the 2.1 update from the HTC website, ran it, and it completed with no problems. Phone booted up, and now I'm trying to go through the tutorial, lagging all the while. It's almost impossible to type.
Does this mean it's hardware related?
sorry for not posting sooner but lagg isnt usually caused by hardware the kernal probably has to worm up also is it the 2.27 software update or 2.3 because 2.27 lagged pretty bad anyway and if your typing with vibrate on keypress try turning that of it always helped me.

I had to start from scratch several times and my phone was pretty snappy when I first started it up after RUU. Also you stated your phone was fine and then just started running slow for no reason, was this after it took a bump?

sorry, RJhall..
I don't recall it taking any bumps before it just stopped working like it has.
However, I have found how to "fix" the problem. If I squeeze the sides of the phone in, it stops lagging and works. Any touch motions of queued up will then immediately execute. Any idea what in the phone is physically broken?

Never had mine apart, maybe someone has and can help..
Okay so things have gotten increasingly weird. It used to be that squeezing the sides of the phone allowed the touch screen to work. Yesterday that stopped working altogether. Today, the screen stopped turning on at all. The LCD simply doesn't turn on. Pressing the red button turns on the phone (it vibrates when turning it on) and when the phone is on, pressing the red button lights up the keys (so I know it's waking the phone up). I took the phone apart (much simpler than I thought it would be) but I was unable to find anything that seemed out of place or broken. Does anyone have any ideas?

[Q] Help! auto/random reboot and stuck

Hi dude?!! I dont know if you ever experiences random reboot.
I got my phone not responding (when touch power or menu button) and i could see the Samsung logo hazy. But always resolve by reboot (hold the power button for 8 seconds)
I didnt root or apply lag fix. Is this probably cause by certain app ??? i use some of optimizer or tweaking app.
Usually this happen when i didnt touch my phone over 2 hours. This is very annoying to me. How could i resolve this problems. Does anyone know? please share!!!
Me too
Hello, I have the same issue.
My phone is rooted and i'm using the rom: I9003XXKB1 from Movistar ( spanish operator ).
Compilation number: FROYO.BGKB3
Kernel: 2.6.32.9
The phone freezes randomly and i need to force a reboot holding the power button.
Sometimes it directly reboots alone.
Greetings.

Funny ****, got the same issue on my i9000 on 2.3.4 JVP with CF-Root... also had it on Froyo 2.2.1... this sucks big time, any input or hints appreciated.
Try a new fw first and post the results. Dont add anything else then observe. If all else fails, take it to where you bought it from and get a new 1.

I occasionally have a random reboot as well though I haven't had any again after disabling the live wallpaper i had running from GO Weather.
Mine is a GT-9000 / 2.3.3 stock /I9000XXJVO/GINGERBREAD.XWJVH/ stock kernel at the moment
Didn't have the reboots/freezes before the last standard KIES update though.
You said "i use some of optimizer or tweaking app."
I'd say start by disabling/uninstalling all stuff that you don't really need.
Check if there are apps configured to run in the background and disable those as well

I ever think that maybe cause by bad memory management in Froyo, thats why i use that kind of tools.
But, i'll try to get rid of it, and lets see.

Everybody seem concern to latest Gingerbread that actualy still trial ROM
Buts every feedback really needed for I9003 sake.
I have upgrade to 2.3.4 and getting worst after 10min idle. But with some trick from this forum getting better and now still evaluate.
Try this
Select all animations from display menu

Hi utkarshshrivastava, i did it. But still no hope
is it related to battery calibration or something like that ???
Now, iam back to xxkb3 an experienced with this reboot issue again
just rooted and use some apps like TitaniumBackup, Go Launcher Ex, Go Weather.
hmm...just dunno how to figure this out, not only with latona, the other device in other brand also experienced it.

Working solution for random boot issues

So this morning I got a call from a friend who told me that his TF is running like crap after doing OTA upgrade to ICS.
We met up at school and I got to take a look at it. Yes, it was indeed running like crap and it even randomly rebooted while we were eating breakfast. He told me the random reboots were happening every 3-5 hours(that he could notice).
Here's what I did to fix it.
Removed his MicroSD card(not sure if necessary)
Shut down TF.
Hold [volume down] and [power] button together until you get into reset mode with 2 icons in the center of screen. Left icon is Wipe Data. Right icon is Cold boot. Right icon is selected by default.
Press [volume down] to highlight the LEFT ICON, which is Wipe Data.
Press [volume up] to confirm your selection
Go through the process.
Let your TF reboot.
Shut down TF again.
Hold [volume down] and [power] button together until you get into reset mode with 2 icons in the center of screen.
You need to do cold boot. It's already selected by default so just wait like 10 seconds and it will happen automatically. Press [volume up] if you don't want to wait.
Go through the process. Your TF will reboot afterwards.
Done.
It has been over 24 hours and his TF has been running smooth without any glitches or any random reboot. I told him to let me know immediately if a random reboot happens again.
This is simple to do. Worth trying unless you can't read English.
Edit: I didn't include this at first because I thought it would be common sense for everyone but it apparently isn't....
DO NOT JUST RESTORE ALL YOUR PREVIOUS APPS AND WIDGETS YOU HAD FROM HONEYCOMB. THAT DEFEATS THE ENTIRE PURPOSE OF DOING A RESET AND PREVENTING APP INCOMPATIBILITY.
thnx man for sharing . I actually tried every thing to solve this issue but no luck , I'll try your as sson as i go home .
This did indeed work for me as well. I tried this a couple days ago and I have yet to have any freezes or random reboots. I think that not restoring any backed up data, apps or settings is key to fixing the problem. I'm now very happy with ICS- burn in hell Honeycomb.
Shameful bump
When you switch from a version like HC. This is what you exactly should do!
I did this and never experienced random reboots.
My Transformer is running since three days and everything works fine!
Edit:
Another quick hint:
If you want to work with Google Docs, you have to disable Forced Hardware Rendering!
I see on forum the problem is google+
So I removed google+... Wait and see...

Sorry to say but this is not working, already done this since the minute it was out and still have so now and then a hang boot
(random reboots that hangs on the boot)
Giving it a try
I am experiencing random reboots after ICS
Wiped transformer, cold booted, and installed the following.
Adobe Reader
Dog Catcher
updated G+ and GMail but have not run it.
Charging now, I will let you know.
Previously I had wiped it and reinstalled all, disabled syncing, disabled location info, adjusted wi-fi settings, and added CPU throttle control obviously none worked.
It might have helped some people, but it did not help me. Unless it was dogcatcher.
5 or so minutes after unhooking it from the charger, I tried to wake it. And it was unresponsive. Was only able to wake it by holding down the vol down and power button at the same time.
I will kill off Dogcatcher and try again but it is not looking so good.

why are you installing dogcatcher? And this does work.. do it again. Don't install your apps.enusre it dos not lock up before you install anything.... If it locks up before you install any apps then call Asus. If not start installing one app at a time. Wait after each install. Ensure that its not doing it, once you are sure install Another ....rinse/repeat....
I installed dogcatcher because I needed something to listen to on the way in to work. I have uninstalled it. But I doubt that is the issue.
I have had these sorts of reboots on my Transformer until the third or fourth Honeycomb update. But eventually they fixed it. I suspected this would happen again.
Considering that dogcatcher one of the most popular podcast apps on the market I suspect that there are many people with no problems using it just fine.
But since I need a podcast listener to be able to use the device as I want to, does anyone without issues have a podcast listener that they use?
2 hours into the last experiment and it died again while sleeping.
So that about sums it up. This procedure might help with some issues Transformer's are having but not all.
Recap. Wiped, cold booted, gmail setup, G+ updated still equals failure.
I love how horndroid 'solved' this issue and then goes on the belittle people who are still having it as 'stupid', and probably their own fault. Horndroid, I appreciate your attempt to contribute, but your attitude and stabbing-in-the-dark protocol is not becoming nor helpful to anyone. Definitive statements pertaining to ONE TF101 device that you own are quite naive, there are several different models, and until you have personal access to each model version you should advertise your 'solutions' as "worked for ME", and understand if it doesn't work with others it isn't THEIR fault..this is not a blanket solution for every device's reboot problems. In fact, I am willing to bet the reboots being resolved by this method are of an entirely different genesis than the reboots that I and others are experiencing (hang-boots).
I hear what you are saying I have the reboot issue as well.
I did a reset before and after and only installed xda HD and ran it for 2 days and got 3 reboots so I did the cold boot and then it did it 2 more times that day. Earlier today I almost couldn't get out of the boot loop, so I wouldn't say its a app problem its something wrong with the firmware somewhere

Some aren't too lazy we just don't want to wipe data after every update. I think i have gotten 4? OTA updates and 2 of them screwed up deep sleep while docked. Guess what the first trouble shooting step was...wipe data. Guess what worked...the next OTA. I don't have time to read through all the different threads on the same subject but are people that flashed through cmw instead of ota having the same issue? My buddy went this route and has no issues.

Can't read horndroid's "advice", because I have him on ignore for trolling, and have done for ages. From the tone of other posts here, it seems the "solution" is to wipe; if that's actually the case, it's total BS.
I wiped immediately before upgrading to ICS, wiped again afterwards, and have put almost no programs back on. I am and always have been on stock firmware and unrooted. I had no problems with boot loops, no problems with lockups, and only extremely rare problems with spontaneous reboots using Honeycomb. With ICS, I have had all three problems in a matter of days, and the lockups / spontaneous reboots are fairly regular (1-2 times per day.)
This is a problem with the stock rom, not a user app problem.

I reported him for verbal abuse and foul language. His attitude is not helpful, and if I were a mod he'd be gone already to think long and hard about his conduct. Anyways, taken your advice and blocked him. It is obviously an issue with the ROM, I'm beginning to think it has something to do with deep sleep, others posited that it may be media scanner, maybe combination of both? Maybe these two events are trying to happen at once and it doesn't like it.. a stab in the dark at least..

It's hilarious how you think YOUR problem is the only problem that everyone is experiencing.
For a lot of people, it was the app incompatibility that was causing them issues.
Obviously you think your problems are caused by something different, but that doesn't mean there are different problems caused by other reasons.
While all of you are speculating, at least I've posted a solution(even though it's merely doing a data wipe and cold boot, pretty much common sense) that has been proven to work for a lot of people. I've never claimed it will work for everyone; just those having problems due to app incompatibility.
I'm pretty sure this is an issue with the update itself and all these "fixes" are going to be pointless in a little while when an actual fix is released by Asus.

Strange "black" Reboots

Hi!
I'm suffering from reboots on my Note (also on my S2...). I call them "black" reboots because the screen becomes black, there's no start-up animation , I only hear the sound, and the home screen don't comes up, or it do it after a long delay. So, the screen is mostly black. Until 2-3 minutes pass, and reboot again.
-Sometimes occurs simply starting up the phone in the morning. I'm advised of a slow launcher load (Go Launcher, but it can occurs on TW).
If I go to System Monitor (System Panel app), I see the 2 cores working hard, toghether or alternating. The "System" app goes mad. The battery drain becomes quick, and the phone back around the camera begins to warming...
After 2-3 minutes with this behaviour, the "black" reboot comes up. Often, after rebooting, the message "Unable to run System process"- Force Close-Wait (or so) appears in the black...etc
If I force shut-off, then I wait and then shut-on again, all things seem normal, until...reboot
-Factory reset (through Recovery, of course) seems arrange all things, until I load again the apps. I've unistalled all "tweaking" apps for overclocking, Ram managing, etc. I only have Root explorer and Speed Boost as Root operating things...
- My Rom is an odex Pre-rooted XXLC1, Modem XXLB2, but the multiCSC is not from it.
How the phone can become so unstable with only the half memory app capacity occuped? (800 Mb or so of 2GB)?
And how can it often occurs on updating apps from damned Google Play Store?
Is worth to flash another Rom (not ICS...), or re-flash same with its CSC included?
Sorry if I've been too long. In my searchs I only see things about bricks or another type of reboots.
Thanks for read me!
i get these once every two weeks or so.
I also get these type of reboots, I get them on RocketROM and on previous roms I've had installed the only way I've found to get out of them is to boot into recovery and wipe the caches. Before I was rooted I removed some of the apps I'd moved to the SD Card and that sometimes stopped the boot loop. I now only update apps one by one someone suggested it was to do with the amount of apps moved to the sd card and the multiple updating of them. I'm still not sure of the cause I know its the only flaw on my Note that I'm fed up with.
Im running stock ics rom straight from samsung only with root and getting the same behaviour as yourself. About 2 to 3 times a week...

Ive posted a poll as i also experience this issue. Can you vote on the poll here please with how many reboots you are getting etc - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1706343

Guys, i don't know if I'm going to cry of pain or to laugh of huge joy, after seeing this is almost ..."normal"
We have a beautiful 500€ plastic and metal block which is unable to perform the half of things it's supposed to do! And we don't know exactly why...
Sure I do wipes, but most of times this fixes nothing, and the reboot returns.
If I re-install with Titanium, I am very careful unsellecting into the batch which things can cause problems, installing only a few apps.
After some days, I go on installing manually some others.
The Play updates are critical, as I see... Why? How it's possible that this "beasts" with so much RAM and so much App Memory (2 GB on S2 and Note!) fail down handling its management, with their super 2 core CPU's?
It's too serious. How we can live with a 500€ phone rebooting bad 2 times a week?
Can you imagine that on your computer, forcing you to re-install OS and apps once or twice a week? It's crazy. Is Android going crazy?
Maybe Samsung don't like Root users? Have HTC same problem?
There's someone with a non rooted phone with same problem?
Are you guys running stock? Had custom rom installed or still have?

I have this Rom, based on strict stock, but rooted: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24690725&postcount=154
Mine is the XXLC1
No tweaks, no overclocking, no CWM...
I had the same problem when my GN was on rooted LC1. I disappeared after I made a factory reset and let my apps reinstall by Play Store.
Yes me too got out of this strange reboot by a factory reset today morning.
Something is messed up .....
Very difficult to find that something ...
better idea would be a factory reset .....
I think the problem is with the Stock Samsung Rom, it doesnt happen in CM9 Roms. I had this problems wen on ROcket rom, but vanished when on Asylum Rom.
go wild...

Yesss, very difficult. I'm not on advanced technical stuff, but my intuition says that is something deep inside the Rom, something that is related to CPU-Memory management.
By the way, do you have/had many apps (250+)? Have you made recently massive update and/or installing apps, or massive "App to SD" moves?

You are pushing me a little step more to the wild side of Android.... Here I'll go!
It seems to me that the Note is a strangely different phone of, say, S2. Some apparently "simple" apps that I carry on from 2 years ago don't run right.
And the little lags that sometimes appear on touching icons, never, never appear on the fast S2.
Lol be carefully factory on ICS resetting...
Try and official rom, haven't seen it myself

After the New Update Exynos Model (BUGS)

Hello Guys,
I am from India, I got the latest update attached screenshot.
I am facing few issues:-
The phone has become laggy in some departments such as:
1. The fingerprint mark stays on the screen after the screen unlocks.
2. Even after pressing the power button screen doesn't lock. The screen does black out but when I double tab on the screen it directly takes me to the home screen without showing the lockscree first. I am not using Google trusted location or devices to unlock without taking my fingerprint or face recognition.
3. When I try to dial a number it doesn't call at a single go, after pressing multiple times it calls the person whom I am trying to call. It looks very choppy as if the system responding to my commands little later.
4. Whenever I am trying to take the screenshot it doesn't take at a single go, after pressing multiple times the system recognises I am trying to take the screenshot and respond little later.
All the apps are working fine without any lags but the above said things are bothering me a lot.
I hope someone from XDA can assist me with this.
P.S.: I have tried to clear the cache from the boot screen. Also did a test on graphics from the same menu.

Thanks for your reply! I hope somebody facing similar problems has overcome and provide suggestions.
But Sammobile blog has also confirmed these issues.
II havent faced any of these issues post update.
Did you try doing a factory reset? If not, try the same if its not too much of an issue for you.
I have the same but I updated today over mobile data.
Came home and it started to behave like described above.
So I figured it is something with the updated WiFi drivers.
Switched off Wi-Fi and all seems fine now.

No I didn't do factory reset as I have checked from other forums that factory reset is not helping, the new update is broken.

Yes this trick is working.

Also one more question I don't know if it's my phone or everyone is facing this issue. Whenever I switch on VoLTE calls (Screenshot Attached) my phone temperature increases and battery drains.

So, you're saying only the ppl that took the OTA are facing the issues? In that case i will probably try that then if the bug returns for me.
For now after switching WiFi On/Off for me it is gone.
Seen reports that plugging in the charger does the same.
Weird stuff indeed.
Also now i see a fellow Dutch, you by any change using Rabobank stuff (Wallet/App) with tripped KNOX and have no problems with it?

No, its possible that some users who do flash a rom with Odin could face some issues too but i personally don`t. I`am using the ABN bank app and i haven`t rooted for a long time now. I used to do it because of theming and getting updates/upgrades but nowadays i personaly don`t see a reason anymore to root anymore. So i can`t help you with your question.
I happened to flash "ASE5" build two ways :
1. First using ODIN 2 days back . Did a factory reset ,erased cache in recovery, reinstalled all apps & after setting them up:-
issues faced -> None.
2. Went back to previous "ASD5" build, downloaded the "ASE5 OTA" update and installed. Did a factory reset, erased cache in recovery, reinstalled all apps & after setting them up:-
issues faced so far -> None.
*One glitch I'm noticing from the beginning with "ASE5" :
When I click on my apps & games(playstore app>drop down menu on the left), it freezes for a split second while it takes into the main page. With all my effort, I could not fix it. (App cache cleaning only temporarily fixes this).

A split second delay bothers you? What apps are running in the background? Do you have the FaceBook app installed? How did you set your animations?

No it does not "bother"but is a step back in smoothness if that counts. It's a "difference" that I noticed since I was testing both builds back and forth for a comparison. Rest be assured that it's not related to apps installed and animations set.

Erase playstore cache and you won't even notice it for a while only to re-appear after sometime.
"Less noticiable" and "very much noticiable" in my usage in 1x & .5x respectively. In ASD5 build, this transition slips like a soap.
