galaxy s3 keeps freezing

Hey guys my galaxy s3 has recently started to regularly freeze and I am wondering if anyone else is having this issue.

Also my s3 is an Australian telstra branded unit not sure if that makes a difference or not but thought I should point it out.

I personally haven't got an S3, but i've had that problem on my older Android device. Try restoring the phone, it's usually a good fix.

restart the device by holding the power but until the a menu come up then press restart and wait until your lock screen come up to swipe then see if that fix the phone.

It has been freezing multiple times a day and rebooting doesn't always help it will reboot then freeze 5min later.

Also when I say freeze I mean everything locks up the screen freezes on on whatever it was showing and the buttons do nothing.

Have you installed lots of apps? My phone once froze because it maxed out its ram. (granted it wasn't an S3 so had much less ram)
