Phone slooowed to a crawl!

[Stephen Partington]

Maybe, I would backup your data (Helium backup is a win here) and your
files then see if it gets better after a factory reset.

also how much free space do you have on the device itself (not SD card) If
this is less than 1GB then you may want to uninstall and move data off of
it until you have at least 3-5 free and see if it improves.

A mouse trap, placed on top of your alarm clock, will prevent you from
rolling over and going back to sleep after you hit the snooze button.
