Tboy, 13 Apr 2017I just got my s2 but am having problem with it cause whenev... moreHi there I I have that problem too. The heat is probably a combination of the phone working hard to run apps designed for phones that 5 years newer. The battery may also be damaged which can cause heat because it is not able to supply the phones needs. A few telltale signs would be shorter periods between charges, as well as a faster charging time to reach a 100%.Also,you may want to check the battery for swelling. ( It should be flat on both sides) but even if it's no swollen it doesn't necessarily mean that it's not damaged. A new battery can easily be ordered from a variety of websites but it might be more practical to look at purchasing a new phone . I have a similar if not the same problem as you and I think I will be doing just that. Have a look at the the Motorola Moto G5 or G5 Plus. Very current (releasedonly a week or two ago), very capable, and works with practically every service provider in North America. And a Great Value.

Love it! Wonderful phone. Bought it when it was the flagship early in 2012. I've used it every day since then and it has worked like a dream - cell phone/ebooks/wifi/3G hotspot - everything! It still looks great and is just now, after 5 years of constant use, starting to give me connection/call problems. It's getting out-of-date and some of my favorite apps won't work on it anymore, but 5 years is a great run time for a phone. Soooo it's time to buy a new one. I'm comparing many Samsungs but I'm leaning towards the S7. My experience with the S2 has shown me that it's best to buy the flagship phone as it will last for years and look good doing it!

IceQueen, 09 Feb 2017Hey, I have gone back to my s2 and running minimal apps.. I... moreUse custom ROMs.
I have Samsung Core and the ROM that I have installed has about 50% better benchmark results. Some have reached even 80-90% improvements.
Also, you can backup data and delete the phone. It will improve the performance.

So the rear facing camera is something you'd expect from younger phones such as the iPhone 6s so good but secondary not so much and battery could be bigger but overall good. 4.5 Stars

Yep, had mine since it first came out and it's still going strong (pico GApps and minimal apps). It's had various roms but Cyanogen (RIP) has been its saving grace. So far I've only had two smartphones, the HTC Hero, then this S2. Not sure what I'll get when(if) the S2 dies...

Indeed one of the best Samsung phones. Bought it in 2011, no cracks or anything even after some brutal crashes. Did change the OS multiple times as well as the battery once, but it just works like a work horse. Even today it's pretty snappy, though some apps do that a while to load, such as messanger, maps.me etc.
