    thanks for responding. I have removed cache and data and reinstalled. Seemed OK but then I clicked on a folder and took 25 seconds to show listing. Also clicking on Home menu also didn't show content. I deleted data and the Keepass2 app, rebooted and issue still persisted? Very strange.

      Thanks for the update here, Sadsyndrome!

       

      Hmm, does your phone's storage have at least 500 MB of free space, so that the app can work correctly?

       

      Also, do you have the same issue on a different WiFi or when connected through mobile data?

        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?
