Every Android phone I've had since the G1 (then G2, MyTouch Slide 4G, HTC One X, Galaxy S3, Galaxy Note 3, Galaxy Note 4) has started to get slow and horrible to use after a few months.
I got the Moto X Pure at launch and it was perfect. The smoothest phone ever, despite being specced not even as good as my previous phone, the Note 4. Even smoother than my girlfriend's shiny new Note 5. And a few months later... It was still fast and smooth and perfect!
Then Marshmallow came and introduced Bluetooth issues... I put it off and put if off but eventually begrudgingly did a pain in the **** system restore about a month ago. It didn't really help my Bluetooth issues (sure for a couple days but it didn't last). So I figure I'll survive with the Bluetooth issues... BUT now, like I said, about a month since the system restore, it's finally happening...
Slow down. Lag. Poor performance returning to the home screen from apps. Slow to open the camera. Slow to get to the gallery. Slow to bring up the keyboard.
Not rooted/ROM'd. No custom launcher. Barely any widgets (Chronus, Any.do and the persistent Google Search bar). Not even using half of my 64gb storage. No SD Card installed. Using almost entirely just stock Google apps (no custom keyboard, no custom SMS, no custom browsers, etc etc). Cleared my caches, but the problem returns within hours or if I'm lucky, a day or two. Mostly it gets bad when the phone starts heating up. And it gets really hot when it heats up. At first I used to think everyone was overexaggerating their overheating issues because I did feel it heat up from time to time... But not like this. Now it gets HOT. And then it gets SLOW.
So. Any suggestions? I don't want to have to wipe again because I know that that means I'll be wiping the phone every 2 months like I had to with all my previous phones.

I just said screw it and didn't even try to save pics. Deleted all threads... We'll see how it goes.
