Ended up talking to Verizon this morning for an hour. There was 4 rouge apps the phone was downloading automatically. Not bloatware from Verizon or HTC. I would delete the apps and then they would pop back up an hour later. one of the apps was disrupting Google Music. Verizon had never had this issue. I ended up getting a new one this morning at the store. So far so good. The rouge apps where Empire, Words w/ friends, Gummy Drop and some other one ive never heard of. Very strange......If any of those apps pops up on your phone id run for the hills!
