Evo acting weird

My brother who has not been willing to root hie EVO yet has started having issues with his phone. It has taken him longer and longer to dial (he presses phone and it takes 10-20 seconds to get to the dialer) He has had random reboots, and some other laggy issues.

Anyone else have this type of stuff happen? I told him to hard reset, and that would most likely fix the issue. He doesn't want to have to set all of his stuff back up, so he is looking for other options.

Any Suggestions?

Thank You,\
Shadow

You gave him the second best option available. The first, and best option, is to root (fully) and flash a custom ROM.

I am pretty sure he isn't going to bother to root... He likes the phone enough without it. He is a former Iphone user, and he might have been the last iphone user that didn't jailbreak

Mine does have a mind of it's own sometimes. Usually a couple power cycles fixes it. I won't flash a custom rom either.

yeah look for the thread about random reboots. a hard reset fixes it is the general consensus.

it's probably something he installed that's causing lag. maybe he's abusing the freedom of the phone. My friend who jumped from iphone had that problem but now he's calming down more and using the phone practically. Also, some live wallpapers will use up way too much resources. Also check his apps.

Agree with the hard reset, also check the SD Card, maybe let the phone format it from the settings. There is absolutely NO WAY this is an issue that has to be addressed by rooting or flashing a custom ROM. Something is wrong with stock, to be sure. I understand the old WM mentality, where flashing a ROM was the answer for a lot of problems, but stock Evo's are awesome and don't behave in that manner.
