  Hi, that is strange, because if your Nokia Lumia 720 freeze problems come from hardware, it will happen not too long after you finish hard reset, but please try again to hard reset to factory default, and do not log in to any account and do not install any applications. Just connect it to Internet and use for phonecall, sms or browsing Internet with standard browser. Wait about 5 until 1 week just to make sure this problems happen again or not, because mostly your situation happen because of applications.

  Hi, unfortunately you need to bring your phone to Nokia authorize service center to recheck your Nokia Lumia 720 hardware. It will not fix perfectly if your hardware still get trouble. If your problems only comes from applications then doing hard reset will refresh/reset all setting and operating system to factory default, but it will not fix hardware problems. However, you can try to do reformat as first steps.
