This is very true. My HDDs get it at least 2x a year. Also, while some have mentioned RAM reclaimers or App managers, you also asked about fragmentation on the device and they answer is yes. An app that will help you with this is Pocket Mechanic Professional but this is only for the card as main memory cannot be done.

How I do my PCs at home is I will low level format the HDDs and reinstall the OS. Then install whatever apps I need, update everything as needed and then create a backup. Once that backup is made I can 'restore' by writing over the HDD or formatting and 'restoring' and have a clean install in a very short amount of time and it be trouble free.

The same can be done with youre device. Flash it and have all of your settings and apps how you want them and then use SPB Clone or Backup and create that backup. Keep it in a safe place. When ever you want to restore it you might wanna use PIMBackup first to backup your contacts, calender, email, text, ECT and save that. Then restore the device and then restore your PIMBackup. IDK if it can get any more simple than that.
