Lenovo Vibe lagging and most apps using internet stopped working

[Android Central Question]

I've had Lenovo Vibe (P1ma40) for more than 2 years, the screen is bit cracked but otherwise it's in a good condition. Yesterday it suddenly started lagging - basically it lags every few seconds and after a second or two starts working again. At the same time most of the apps using internet (like Youtube, Gmail and even Google Play) stopped working. I can open them but they just get stuck on the loading screen. Some other apps like Messenger or spotify work fine tho (but they still lag).

I've done all the usual **** like restarting phone and wifi, checking if the system is up to date (it is) and cleared cache of all the apps. nothing helped, so I'm becoming a bit desperate. Thanks for the help.

The same mess started today. Seems like a virus or something.

Same happend to me and my girlfriend on Asus z max2 and allview, since yesterday. Right now i'm writing with a crazy delay and lag every 2-3seconds. Maps, market, chrome, youtube, soundcloud and many other are stuck on loading screen. After 10sec +app+ is not responding. Would a hardreset fix this ?

Hey i have the same problem looks like lenovo is outdated and we have to wait for the next update
..
for now i found a solution after trying a 3 flashs and many hard resets . its about the date and time you have to change the date back to the year when it was working fine then it ll stop lagging and the other problems too . but some apps needs the real date soo i reseted the real date and time and still working fine for an hour...
