In before someone asks you if you are logged in to Free Republic (sort of a tradition around here)

Did you download the Beeber app? The version with the Stune option?

Try deleting the memory and going to the page as a new site, then save it.

It might work. Good luck.

I did an upgrade on a Linux/Mint laptop a few days ago. When I reopened the laptop the next day, the text and buttons were messed up. I did a full reboot and things seem to have returned to normal.

You might try a full reboot of the smartphone.

I’ve quit updating anything. I haven’t EVER updated my Windows 7 computer and it works just fine. I think the updating thing is a scam. Messes up your computer and also, without a doubt, adds reams of new data to fill up your hard drive.

Just saying.

Similar with my Win7 laptop and desktop.

Seems like even updating other software creates more problems than the updates resolve.

The Firefox and its various renditions (Palemoon, Cyberfox, Comodo Ice Dragon, Firefox ER) break every time I upgrade the browser or Flash or the extensions. Firefox has turned into a nightmare. Firefox ER will not load images correctly after the last upgrade last week.

Well...when I had Win7 I quit updating it too....but, this is my phone, and it’s a bit different....I try to see what they are updating, but it’s difficult to tell.
