JLang-
You may want to try reflashing. You can read thru all 43 pages and not find those problems from any one else.
Given the nature of this arena, it is possible that you have problems no one else has reported, but not likely. As example, SPR has never playned nice on my phone. Since rooting, it's been shakey. CW on the the other hand has worked great, up until 8.4!
It's the smoothest, fastest rom I've encountered. I'd hate to see you give up because of one problem. Remember, none of this was intended to be done to the phone, it's not unheard of to run into a problem.
