Does anyone have the same problem?
Running tiKtaK beta 2 and everything seems to be going well except for Netflix. The app loads perfectly and I can play any movie, but half of the screen is all grey. The sound is fine. The top half of the screen looks good. But the bottom is greyed-out...very strange. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the app. I've rebooted several times. But nothing seems to clear out the glitch.
Any thoughts?

Yeah I realized this as well and added it to the OP as a known issue.
It will be fixed in the next revision...weird that it's only Netflix and all other video is fine though.

it only happens to me when I am playing content inside the web browser and only from certain sites. nba.com does it quite a bit for me.
Any video in an app works great, video stored on the device works great.
No idea why, I assumed that it had to do with support for flash or some such funny business.

It happens to me even in apps like YouTube and IMDB and ESPN...I can't figure it out
It's only happening on chrome for me. On Boat browser it works perfect.

this is a good point and video seems to work on Dolphin for me. Chrome has been the problem for me.
if you go to settings>developer options and click disable hw overlays it will fix the problem. but you have to disable it after every reboot is the bad part.

Was going to say the same thing, it's a JellBean thing. Option wasn't even there on ICS.

Runs fine, no crashes until I try to run Netflix. It will let me load the app, scroll through the movies, and even load one. It will play for about 30 seconds, and then the tablet will freeze, some small green pixels will appear in the bottom of the screen (about 1 inch band all the way across like little green stars densly packed).
Then it will reboot.
Any ideas?
*EDIT*
Just added a video of it happening. You'll notice the small green pixels/lines in the center of the screen right across the doctor...
Link to Imageshack uploaded video
**Edit II**
Just to toss this in, Youtube does not do it... no other app is causing a crash except the Netflix app...
***EDIT III***
Just talked to Netflix, they said it is a known issue and when they resolve it, they will have an update for the app. I tried a few steps with a support rep, and it still hasn't fixed it.
No one else is having this issue?!
Have you installed the last Netflix update (it is supposed to fix this issue)

I uninstalled and reinstalled netflix last night, but otherwise, I have not seen a netflix update...
I did that right before I recorded the video I added to the original post.
Just a little update.
I went 100% back to stock, even locked boot loader.
Netflix now works fine...

Has any one else noticed a significant lag in downloading apps from the Playstore?

nope.. still faster than web download
Strange. I just downloaded an app on my note 4 and on my wife's G2. Her G2 blew mine away in how fast it downloaded the app.
I have actually been shocked at how fast mine is over my 3 to be honest..

Yes I actually have noticed it. It's greatly delayed before it actually starts to download anything. Sometimes takes a full minute. One it starts it usually downloads it quickly. I also have the wifi going to sleep while the screen is off issue and will be getting my phone replaced though. (It still has the delay on LTE with no wifi though)
I did a factory reset and it seems to be working as expected now. I'm going to install all apps I previously had, set it up as I had before, and see if it starts delaying again.
Like several others I had Netflix playing last month and had it switch to a tiny screen in the upper left corner. Simply rebooting the box took care of it and I think it happened one or 2 more times then went away completely.
2 days ago it appeared again,cthen again and again. I needed to exit Netflix to fix it each time. Remembered someone said disabling autoplay worked so I did that but it didn't work. EVERYTIME you play a title the next title displays as a tiny screen. Clearing data and rebooting doesn't fix it even temporarily. It happens on both aftvs. They run preroot 51.1.4.0 and have been for awhile.
Does anyone else suddenly have this issue? Has anyone got a fix? Its a weird one--my best guess is an orientation glitch where it thinks its on a device with a much smaller screen like a phone.
Edit--not a valid theory. What's happening is at the end of an episode (credits rolling) Netflix will minimize the show to the upper left. That's where the glitch occurs. It just keeps playing video in that screen. If you stop it before that screen appears the video plays fine. We pay for this. I think we should have a little room to make tiny modifications (like disabling the tiny screen view) That would be useful instead needing to wait for bug fixes.

Yep. Two chats and three phone calls later, Amazon is supposed to deliver another Fire TV tomorrow. But then, I was seeing other oddities as well (blue screen, skipping, not responding to remotes, ...).

Thanks! That might not be an option for me (well it is but I risk getting one without rootablefirmware) Mine is stable otherwise. I have to say though I'm a bit freaked out over what I'm hearing--between this forum and another site, I count 4 people in 24 hours complaining their aftv won't power on. My newest one is less than 2 months old. I'm hoping that issue is related to newer firmware and I don't have a ticking time bomb.

You're rooted right? I assume you have CWM installed. Here is my suggestion. Completely rid your FTV of Netflix. Clear cache/data from the app, then uninstall it. Reboot to CWM and clear both cache and dalvik, then reboot. Install Netflix and see if that helps. As for the ticking timebomb, I fear the same thing. Mine is running near perfect and I would absolutely hate to start from scratch again.

Thanks. I try your suggestion when I can and report back here.
I'm really hoping its combo of defective boxes and new firmware causing those aftvs to die. I plan on installing android whenever there's a stable release. Had enough of fire is and the drama. Running a lollipop ROM on 2012 KFHD with overclocked kernel and its just night and day--fast, responsive LOADED with features and minimal bugs.

In my experience you can't rely on clearing the app data alone. Sometimes things persist in the system cache/Dalvik. It looks like progress is coming along on CM12. That would be awesome to have!

Are there any indications why? Optimistically, it's just the wall wart. More than one decent device has been forced to wear the bag of shame for the lack of a good power supply.

UPDATE--This suggestion above worked! I wiped Dalvik cache and the tiny screen went away. I do this fairly regular on my phone with TWRP. Don't know why it never occurred to me here. Probably smart to do this every once in awhile if you have CWM, at the very least it can't hurt. Thanks again!
Over the last several weeks (possibly since the last update), my Launcher feeds aren't consistently displaying. I just get a blank Google screen when I swipe left.
If I open the Google app, then the feeds show up. Refreshing the screen isn't correcting the issue, and I confirmed my settings are all turned on.
Happening to me also.
Deleted data/cache fixes it temporarily
Same here, I just reboot and it works for a while
Same here, usually if I clear cash and stop app then go back and swipe everything pops back up. Weird, thought it was just me.

I had this same issue myself and I actually used the google help and after trying everything I ended up going to settings then apps go to Google app or you can go to play store and google app then disable and uninstall updates then reinstall and reboot after doing it and it has seemed to completely fix the problem for me this is going on the third day it has not randomly disappeared on me. I hope it helps guys.
Reporting back that ruling back Google and updating it again has fixed it so far. Hopefully it holds
Same here. Google is turning into a ****ing joke. This is the 4th update this month that ****s something up for me.
The security patch has literally ruined Bluetooth usage for me. Then they update Chrome and I can no longer cast embedded videos from Chrome. Then I get the Google update and it screws up the feed. Now I get the music update and it kills the equalizer almost all the goddamned time.
What a ****ing joke.
After 24 hours, it failed again ?

Same here. Best bet probably is going to be reverting back to the previous apk and turning off updates until they fix it. It's what I had to do for Google Play Music.

This is a known issue with the Google App. Can only assume it will eventually be fixed in an update.
