Need some assistance

[Striker840]

For some reason when I go to unlock my phone with the slider it freezes about half way through for about 10 seconds before it completes the process. I have cleaned out all apps that I have recently installed and have the latest OTA update.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated as I LOVE the phone but it is starting to act up a bit.

ETA: have been unable to root due to the OTA update.

Thanks to all bionic guru's out there.

Can you try a factory reset. May help.

I was hoping to avoid that but I may end up going there. This is my first android phone and I LOVE it.

Have you cleared cache and memory lately?

I THINK so but I have probably missed something, so could you give me the "android for dummies" walk through?

Thanks a TON for your help esp on Christmas Eve.
