I'm having a problem with mine...just something simple I think, but I don't know what to do about it or what to search for, lol. I'm texting with a friend and on the area where you type, it has this grey oblong shape with 0.00 in it. Wtf is that and how do I get rid of it? Someone told me it was the voice text thing, but I never use that and I don't know how it got there. Someone please help me before I lose my mind.
