Have not had that happen yet. I have not played a lot but will be putting it through it's paces tonight and tomorrow. Will keep an eye out for it.
Problems recognizing pieces

Happened to me too. See the calibration or Hard Reset topic in here. Fixes it for me anytime it happens.
has someone detected any issue about random squares flashing and not detect new game or continue one?. it is very annoyed. I then try hard reset with no success. only after two or three hard reset and syncing new game a few times forces to return to work. it is worrying.
