The more info that you share the easier it'll be to help you out.

 

Does this happen when the phone its hot? or when you have multiple apps/games open ?

It happens when it gets hot and when I'm playing game since my post I've done a software repair  using Xperia companion but it still freezes and unresponsive.

If you have an SD card inside, try the phone's act without it inserted.

I've already had my SD card out my phone it makes no difference I've also done a factory reset of my device that didn't work I've tried safe mode to find out if it was an app I downloaded I have tried everything you can think of and nothing has worked only thing I've not been able to do is update my firmware and security I know there an update for my phone but my phone say its up to date

If the phone's completely acting up and the software fix doesn't fix it, my guess would be the issue is beyond software, you may need to send it to Sony to check it out for repair.

Open the Support app on your device.

It shows you how to contact Support by mail, chat or phone.

The latter of course during office hours.

 

Support will help you with the procedure.
