Explanation

App crashes and system-wide slowness are classic symptoms of resource exhaustion - too many apps running simultaneously consume available RAM and CPU. Checking and closing background applications is the simplest, least disruptive first step that directly addresses these symptoms. Calibrating the touchscreen, checking airplane mode, and draining the battery are unrelated to performance issues. Verifying credentials would not cause system-wide slowness or app crashes.
