Why does my phone keep freezing up?

[AC Question]

My phone's SD card port is damaged, so I don't have a lot of memory. I have downloaded cleaner apps onto my phone and use them frequently in order to make space just to be able to update some apps. Now my phone keeps freezing up, and "android process has stopped unexpectedly" or other apps "has stopped unexpectedly" appears on the screen. What to do?

Welcome to Android Central! Which phone? Cleaner apps can sometimes cause problems as well, especially if you use them to automatically close apps to "free up RAM." This can be counterproductive, since Android will simply open the app again, or open a different app. This can set up an endless loop of force close/reopen, which uses battery and can bog the system down. See what happens if you uninstall the cleaner app.
