S4 Phone freezes/lags when unlocking

Hello,

I noticed within the last month that my S4 seems to lag when I go to unlock the phone.

I hit the power/home button and the screen doesn't turn on. If flashes on 10 seconds later then goes black again.

After a minute, the phone finally releases itself and then I can use it again, before...

It freezes when texting, instagraming, etc...

I have:

-Taken out the SD card

-Wiped Cache Partition

-Factory reset

The only time it doesn't freeze up is when it's in safe mode.

So I have 2 possible answers: Corrupted system file or corrupted app.

Anyone know how to go about isolating the problem? Or solutions similar to this in the past?

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

How full is your memory?

Thought it was a memory problem.

I clear out the cache very often and close background apps just as often too

My RAM is usually 1.25GB / 1.75GB

16GB internal card with 4.43 of memory left.

32GB SD card with 5GB left.
