Extended battery wrecked my phone, help!

[Maria9999]

I popped in the Laza extended battery. It fit the slot, but with the Laza cover on it was banging around in there. The phone would just display the homescreens, with none of the apps working. So I figured it was the wrong battery, took it out, put in my normal battery, but the phone is doing exactly the same thing--I get the screens, but none of the apps are working. So I took out the battery, put it in again, and the phone goes on, same thing happens.

This is a new phone, was working well before the battery incident. HELP, please? I love this phone :'(

Tragically I can't. I'm on Straight Talk, and bought the phone from an individual, so no warranty By "new" I meant I've only had it for two weeks, and NO problems till the accursed battery situation. I was just wondering if anyone else has had this problem, and if there's a cure. Damn I love this phone.

OK, so brought the phone back to its factory settings, and it's working, yay!
