NVIDIA Shield K1 Constantly Crashing + Other Issues

I have been playing this game since its release and have constantly had issues with the game crashing after playing for around 30min-1hr. The crash always seems to occur while fighting, or right before a fight is about to start. The tablet will start to get very warm, and then it will start to lag very badly, and then eventually it just quits the game.
To remedy this, I have been closing out the game myself every 45min or so and restarting it to prevent the game from crashing in the middle of a fight. While this does solve the crashing for the most part, I would not really consider it a real solution.
I play MCOC on this exact same tablet as well, and that game runs just fine. It doesnt make my tablet super hot, and the game hardly ever crashes.
Another issue I am experiencing is when trying to use the in game chat, the game flickers between 'Global' and 'Alliance' tabs. Like its trying to figure out which chat is selected, and it just flickers constantly, even when I have selected a tab. On top of that, when I try to type anything, its nearly impossible. I think the flickering is the issue here, as I will open the chat, but then I will try to type something, nothing will appear, and the text box will eventually minimize again.
Im using the current version of the game (1.0.2 ) as well as the most current version of the NVIDIA Shield K1 Tablet (Android version 7.0, Kernel Version 3.10.96, SHIELD Version 5.1(24.29.404.127).

So as you can see grimlock don't even look like he should, also I noticed that alot of the special effects in the shield is not so flashy as the iOS. i guess they are working behind the scenes on making the shield version look amazing and hope it gets fixed real soon
I am fairly disappointed in how this game run on this tablet as it it supposed to be a very high performance tablet, especially in regards to games. Game/server lags and such I can deal with - as everyone else who is playing the game is dealing with those same things as well. But those issues + only being able to play the game for about 30min until it just decideds to crap out and crash, is making this a hard game for me to enjoy and want to continue to play.
Well said there man, EXACTLY how mines been going, even when i try collect certain rewards the screen rolls/flickers up and down and i have to tap the claim button to stop this then claim the reward.
I have a LG G Stylo running Android 6.0. and i only play with my wifi connection, which is always at full bars.
My gameplay is always pretty smooth - up until about the 25min mark. Then it starts to lag and slow down and get choppy. Thats when I know the game is going to crash soon - so often times I will just close out the game myself and restart it. That will give me another 30-40min of game time before I have to reset it again.
Playing this game for 30min on this tablet causes the tablet to get so hot, that the heat warning "!" signal starts to show. The only other time I have ever even seen this is after leaving the tablet in my car for an hour during the summer. In addition to the heat, this game drains my tablets battery faster than anything else I have ever seen. Playing this game for around 30min will cause the batter to go from 100% to ~60%, or lower. There was even one time that between when I left work and got home (about a 45min train ride) the battery drained from 100% to around 15%.
The constant crashing is becoming an issue for a variety of reasons. I feel like when I start a Raid, i have to restart the game every time before, otherwise what most often happens is that mid-Raid, the game will get supper laggy and it will take ages for the matches to load, and when they do load, it usually takes another 15seconds before its actually playable, by which time the computer has already started attacking - even if im blocking, im still taking damage. On top of that, when the game does eventually crash while in a raid, since the time to complete a raid is only 15min, its a rush against the clock to get back into the game and try to finish the raid before the timer runs out. So far, due to crashes, I have had matches come down to the last few seconds.
You guys are doing a major disservice to your game by not addressing these issues right away. This is the only device I have that will play this game, and it plays it like complete garbage. I really enjoy the game, but if these issues are not addressed soon, I will have no choice but to quit due to sheer gameplay frustration.

Like Cheifloaded I play mostly on my Galaxy Note 4, which hilariously is way better than my Shield.
The performance has not gotten any better with any of the patches.
I literally just restarted the game 10min before doing an AM fight, and right after i started my FIRST AM fight (while the fight is loading) , the game crashes. And when i cone back in, my bot is missing health.
Apparently this issue has been around since Beta, and still nothing has been done to address these issues....WHY???
If you guys are only going to offer support and fixes for iOS devices, then take the game off the PlayStore. A Shield tablet only costs a couple hundred dollars...i challenge anyone working at/for Kabam to buy one and play this game for 1 week on it. If you don't break the tablet oin half from sheer frustration related ONLY to this game, at least you may have a better understanding of what we are complaining about.
If Kabam is able to give any update on a stability patch for Android devices, it would be greatly appreciated. I know you guys released a stability patch for iOS recently - it would be really great if Android could get that same kind of love soon as well.
