Hello! so, about 2 days ago my phone just begun freezing randomly every now and then. at first it was like a bit of lag so i didnt really notice or mind it that much, but now its just freezing for at least a minute every time and sometimes even to the point where i have to remove the battery and put it back in just so i can get the phone to work again and its driving me nuts.

is there a way to fix this or should i take it to a lab?

Welcome to Android Central! Try booting into Safe Mode, which temporarily disables all 3rd party apps. https://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-30130

If the problem disappears in Safe Mode, then something you installed is causing the problem. You may have to uninstall apps one by one until the problem disappears. If the problem persists in Safe Mode, then it's more likely to be a hardware or firmware problem.

Welcome to the forums! I suffer the same issue as you with my G3, but not as often. Does it happen when you're also trying to do things like restarting the phone?

Let us know how the Safe Mode process goes!
