On many screens, we show "Retrieving" on the background of the screen while we try to load and parse data. However, if we're unable to for whatever reason (the load fails, the data is incomplete, etc.), the user is stuck on the "Retrieving" screen indefinitely.

We need to trap these situations and change them to alert the user that we were unable to fulfill the request and to go back to the page they were coming from.

Similarly, we have the default image with the circle of dots that is replaced with loaded images afterwards. In some cases, that image is not replaced and the user is left wondering how long its going to take to load, when it's already done trying.
