Every app I use needs to be forced closed after less than 5 minutes. Even apps I haven't even opened [before]. I've turned off my phone and restarted it multiple times and nothing seems to work. Does this mean I have to do a factory reset?

1Also worth checking: My device is getting slow, apps start misbehaving/crashing. What can I do? – Izzy Dec 26 '12 at 10:49

Yes, in this case, factory reset should be wise decision to make. Just don't forget to make a backup of your files before you do so. – androCoder-BD Jan 08 '14 at 21:52

• First is make very sure you've free space of memory. My One Plus handset makes this behaviour when it is near to 'out of storage'.
• Second is make sure you have not deleted any root directory by opening file manager with some specific app explorer. (This might create problem as once i meshed up with those folders and end up tolerating crashes.)
• Third is the last option do a factory reset .

This sounds like a file permissions issue on the data directory.
The only fix would be to wipe, however if rooted and/or have a custom recovery, you should first try the fix permissions option.
Otherwise, you will have to do a factory reset.
