Why has my Lumia 1020 stopped working?

Help!! My lumia 1020 was acting weird and then stopped working

(Long Story) My lumia 1020 was acting weird last night then quits working and is now a brick. So most of my apps were closing after i just open it and some are having connectivity issues even though I have a pretty good connection. I went to park hours before and did some videotaping and I maxed out the available storage, I reviewed the footage and there was a jittering/skipping part so when I got home I connected it to my desktop and to my laptop, non of them worked. Then I plug in my phone to power source and upload the footage to One drive, I checked again hours after and the upload is still running. Then I used my phone again in normal basis and most of the time I cant get it to work properly... So I was just using it and got sick of seeing all the error alerts so I soft reset it, I basically do this every time my phone stops working properly then all of the sudden it went blank after it vibrate, it was suppose to restart, now my phone blank. I connected it to the charger hoping it will light up but still no sign of powering up.

The skipping noticeable in your video is caused by recording that video to the point of maxing out your memory. I recorded a 45-minute long video only to find out that it would not fit within the available storage I had back then, hence the last portion of the video was skipping and buggy. The saving process was also longer than normal... well it was a 3GB+ video.

At any rate, it not recommended to max out the memory of your phone, especially not by taking a video.

How many photos do you have in your phone? I'm currently suspecting that the lags are caused by having a lot of photos in the phone, e.g. more than 2,500. I've got around 4,000 photos and the lags are intermittent. I have not tested this theory yet.

Other forum members suggest that the lag is caused by having small available memory left, less than 3GB (though some suggest keeping the available storage greater than 5GB... which is a lot of wasted space, so I'm looking at my theory above rather than this one).

yeah you have pretty good point its maybe the less storage available that is causing the errors. The only thing that keeps bugging me is why my phone isnt starting. Like i said i was just using it. I'll try some recovering and post an update
