Generally I have been quite lucky and had matches that worked fine, however I have had several arena matches fail to connect or become glitched in ways that make it impossible to do anything.
I have been in games where I cannot interact with my cards. But most annoying was the last game where it didnt even give me a turn, I got to sit and watch the opponent take his turn then mine, all whilst the normal timer continued to tick down.
Have blizzard given any warnings about the performance of this version? Also does anyone know how to rectify any of these glitches?
Is it advised to not play Hearthstone Android not on WiFi

Hearthstone's reconnect feature, along with any of the connectivity in the game, is appallingly designed or at least based on security over usability. Consequently, a short disconnect or dropping a single packet of data can be enough to desync the game.
Wifi is naturally going to be less reliable and mobile data will be even less so. However, there are other factors at work here. Switching to a wired connection might fix the problem but it will do nothing if the problem is with the internet connection itself.
Blizzard have responded to these complaints on different occasions by pointing out that the desyncs are the user's fault for not using a perfect connection. They also warn that they do not give refunds for any disconnection related issues.
