Thanks again for such fast reply.

I have updated phone same issue. Rebooted router same issue.

I  already tried mobile data and I THINK that the issue goes away? As I mentioned in my first post it does appear to be network related, but no issue with DB  on iPad though, and on my phone no issues with anything other than DB?

I currently have wireshark running on a raspberry Pi to see if I can see anything.

This is really weird, especially as nothing else appears to be suffering?  any other reports of DB android network wifi issues?

    Just thought I’d update this. I encountered the issue again and went to switch phone to mobile data but WiFi was  already off as I had forgotten to switch it back on since last test! So the issue does occur on mobile after all!
