I missed posting a note to remember to back up your data. I was rebuilding (from scratch) a tablet on the first. I did not lose any data, as I don't store data on it.
I did lose settings and local data, but it seems that was where the problem resides, as it is no longer loosing its mind occasionally.

Not fully sure but it seems something in my backed up google profile has been corrupted. If i reloaded it, I got everything back - even the bug.

SO remember to backup your data, you can never be sure what might happen.
