xameius, thank you so much!
that was exactly what i've been looking for. i've tried tapping all over the thing for days and have been stuck on that f-ing screen no matter what. now i can use the freaking phone again and mess around and try other things to see what the problem could be. you're a life saver.

p.s. here's what my screen looks like when i make a new note and trace around the edge of the text area (should be a rectangle). could this be the trouble trying to align at all?
