Lollipop Update Issue: Google Apps I'm using a Moto G 2nd Gen, and I have recently updated to the new lollipop version. In the last day, I've had to restart the phone a dozen times, as after being powered on, it becomes completely unresponsive in about 10-20 minutes. None of my Google Apps work, the phone freezes, and it is impossible to use. 

I wanted to do a factory reset but it won't even allow me to transfer or backup my recent files. It just freezes.

I've seen a few other questions with this issue, does anyone know any fixes? 

edit: it occasionally gives me the notification "Google Apps is not responding" but I can't do anything as the screen is unresponsive.
Boot to recovery, and remove gapps manually. You can also backup apps and their settings using adb backup -all -apk -nosystem
