'Afraid my 4 years experience with this phone hasn't been as good as yours guys. It's got great potentials, alaways believed that, but it's been a nightmare since Day 1 and even more so now, 4 years later. It is painfully slow despite the factory reset and the very few apps I left in it. I got rid of Samsung launcher and installed Nova instead: little improvement there.
I am no IT expert so I'd really like to ask any of you what's the easiest procedure I can follow to have this phone finally working. I read here and elsewhere that by changing firmware (can you give me any idiot-proof hint on that??) or installing I can't recall what (after factory reset it) it kind of comes to life again.
Help!!

Well the camera is something from 2013 or 2016 which is good secondary is the amount of megapixels you'd expect from a phone this old the screen I think should be bigger and battery is ok. 4.7 Stars

It's simply immortal! Using it for 4 years now, with a CM rom. Last year changed the battery because the last one was failing. Finally decided to upgrade, going for the S7.

I've bought this phone a few days ago as my second phone and Odin can't recognize it. I've installed all drivers, Kies, tried some programs as Android Toolkit. With it Odin recognize but operation failed. I can't put custom rom. I don't understand. I want to put it because it's faster and maybe on that way I can fix my problem with internal memory. It says I have 8 GB of free internal space but when I want to install something now I can't, memory full.
