I have a note 2, I rarely take it anywhere with me as it's too bloody big and nobody calls me anyway, it's main use these days is 2-step verification texts.

I used Note 2 for about a year before moving to Nexus. I like to load custom ROM / skins but due to bad support to dev from Samsung, there weren't many options for Note 2. Samsung wants everything to remain as closed as possible.

Nexus 4 and its been a real champ for over almost 2 years. I can hardly wait for them to send Android 5 Lollipop down to it.

HTC Thunderbolt that is about 3.5 years old.

It's worked great until a few weeks ago, now it's slowly turning into a potato. At times it will get almost unresponsive and start draining the battery very quickly.

I'm considering replacing it with an HTC One M8. I'll have to buy it outright, though. If I get a contract phone I'll lose my unlimited data.

Before I replace the Thunderbolt, I'm going to try a Factory Default to see if that clears up my problem. I may replace the SIM card, too, since the phone sometimes forgets that it's 4G LTE.

Yes try performing a factory data reset. It should help.

Sony M2, using Nova launcher. I am finding the camera to be somewhat confusing with all the options available. I even took a photo of my desktop while messing about and, when reviewing it, noticed that somehow I had got Fairies and Hobgoblins in amongst my papers etc.

Just upgraded from an old Samsung S2 which was long past it's best.

I'm using the Samsung Note 3 thru U.S. Cellular here in the US. Love the phone and all it's feature's it has. Only downfall is the Android update. Samsung fall's far behind from everyone else when it come's to firmware updates. I'll be able to upgrade the end of this year might go for the Iphone 6 Plus or the Samsung Note 4. Haven't really decided yet what I wanna do.

Well I've got the Nokia Lumia 520 which is nearly 2 years old running Windows 8.1 Cyan. I love it and the camera is great and takes really good photos.
Since it upgraded to 8.1 though the only thing that annoys me is the way without me doing anything it will take itself off my preferred Wi-Fi, which is my home router, and connect to BT FON, so I can't do some of the things I want to do.
It's not as if I go out and need the range of open Wi-Fi I'm in the house all the time.

Apart from that I still really like the phone and will get another but hopefully higher up the model line.

I have a Samsung SII. It works VERY well and, I OWN it.

Samsung Galaxy Note 2 N7100 (International Version)

I did it, performed the factory reset and the difference is night and day. The HTC Thunderbolt is once again very quick and responsive even though it's a single core CPU.

Battery life is back to normal, too. No more having to recharge (or change battery) during the day.

Probably should have reset the phone after the OTA OS updates. The OS has been updated twice in the past 3.5 years. Phone is not rooted.

I'm going to be more circumspect in what apps I install, and perhaps wait a day or two between installs to see how each one affects performance.

Maybe this phone will last another 3.5 years?
