> [@TsiTalon](#): > > fixed my loading screen issue… i removed all the widgets and icons on each on of my screens because apparently they were all stacked up twice. meaning my pandora button was really two pandora buttons on top of one another. after i removed all the duplicates the loading screen issue seemed to have gone away. If anyone has a similar issue, try this fix. Yeah that was a common problem with the new update. A few users complained about duplicate icons. ---

doubt it has anything to do with the phone if it charges fine when plugged into the wall, gotta be something you did to your computer. perhaps you didn’t eject the device properly or something? ---

For a while my Google Maps was reading in kilometers instead of miles, it drove me nuts. Log into your Verizon account and check out all your info…I’d also recommend changing your password to log into it. ---

Just keep bitching until you get someone from the US … from my personal experiences the outsourced script reading indians can’t do shit for you. ---

Was it WB having issues with the battery? I’d try removing any applications that use the network. Any apps or games that you don’t really use. I recently downloaded the KeyRing app, and added all my loyalty cards to it. It seems really cool, not I just gotta see if you can scan the barcodes from my phone. > **[iPhone and Android app for loyalty cards, circulars, coupons, and shopping lists...](https://keyringapp.com/)** > > With the Key Ring app for iPhone and Android, you can store all those pesky reward cards on your phone. No more fumbling. No more lost cards. Just savings made easier! ---
