    Sounds like you need to perform a battery pull... then possibly an OS update.

    Use BlackBerry protect then perform your battery pull and update. Use of BlackBerry protect will save information and allow you to locate a lost or stolen phone.

    Don't be scared to update. Just make sure to remember to make regular backup's of your data so if anything ever happens, you won't lose all your data. If you're not familiar with "backing up" the device, let us know and we'll help out. )

    It's telling you that there's something being processed in the background? Maybe?

    First of all WIPE your phone and RE-INSTALL OS (Make sure its OS 7.1) and that should fix all that hour glass waiting thing

    Well for one instead of having a fancy transition etc. when it's busy you get an hour glass.

    About the only place I get the hourglass is in AppWorld - go figure. When things slow down, I always try a reboot. Clears things up for me.
