My phone come up to the 4GLTE screen with the pulsating ring and won't go any further. I took the battery out, put it back. I took the battery out, sims out, put them back and still nothing. Any ideas? (I also posted this in accessory by mistake)

Were you trying to root your phone? Did you recently mess with some settings, install a third-party app, etc? How do you think this happened? Has it happened before or is this the first time?
If you don't mind resetting the phone back to factory, you could do a hard reset. Turn the phone off, then hold down the Power and Volume Down buttons simultaneously. The Factory Hard Reset screen should appear. Press the power button once and then again to confirm your selection. Just a warning: you will lose all data on your phone if you do this. Your phone will be reset back to factory settings, like it's new out of the box.
I'm not sure if this will reformat the SD card or not, but you could always take it out beforehand. However, I'd just back up anything on the card and reformat the card too anyway, just to eliminate any possible causes.

I'm going to take it to the Verizon store and see if they will look at it. This morning (at the top) there were two things I had never seen before. One being something that said something about memory and show what apps I had and how much memory I was using. I saw an app on there that I didn't use and told it to stop running. That's when it started. As you can probably tell I;m technology challenged so I best take it somewhere. But, thank you!
