There are lots of things that can make a phone to malfunction, Such as liquid damage, broken touch pad, out dated software and the rest.
.
There are various examples of these malfunctions e.g phone hanging, phone becoming slow, Apps not working as expected, Browsers not opening webpages etc.
.
Now in all my years of working as a phone Technician, I have come to realise that the major cause of these problems are apps that we install. There are various apps that perform various functions, some are noticeable and some are undetected by users. For example an App you install to manage your mobile data might stop your phone from browsing at times or an app you install to clear memory space may perform other underground functions by not letting other apps give you notifications.
.
This is why its often required to restore factory settings when phone start misbehaving. But still yet; some restore the factory settings and still go ahead to download or install such apps and their phone start misbehaving again. Consequently they become frustrated and think there phone has an hardware issue.
.
In nutshell, once your phone start misbehaving, examine the last three or five apps you install to check which is the cause of the problem.
