Many Phones Hang because each of the mobile phone comes has a limited amount of resources like memory (RAM) and processing power. When the phone is loaded with different Apps it become weak.

4. Switch off and Remove Battery:
This tip can be effective in most cases. It is a good idea to remove battery and SIM card after every few months. Removing battery and SIM will clean the dust from the electric touch points.
5. Install Apps in External Memory (SD Card)
Most of the mobile phone users install all sorts of apps in their phones. When installing the apps, they don’t pay much attention to where the app is going to be installed and what impact it can have on the performance of the phone. In most cases, by default, the apps get installed in the internal memory of the phone. This leaves lesser space for the running the apps and that in turn causes clogged memory. If your phone hangs, it is advisable to install apps in the external memory (i.e. SD Card) of the phone. Usually the external memory is larger than the internal memory. And external memory can also be easily expanded if required (instead of 2 GB card, just insert an 8 GB card!). Therefore, in external memory more apps can be easily installed without clogging the internal memory of the phone. This will save your phone from hanging.
For this you can set the default write disk. Go to Settings > Storage > Default write disk > Select SD Card. Please note that this setting is available in slightly different location in different mobile handsets. So, you may have to do a bit of look around.
