The S2 is a really dated phone, going back to 2011. At some point you're going to have to accept it's not going to be functional enough for any kind of modern online access. It's not even that the operating system is old and unsupported, there's going to be a point where a lot of online services just won't work with those also-unsupported, out-of-date apps that are on your phone. You might want to keep using it as a stand-alone media player and camera, but perhaps it's time to think about a upgrading to a newer phone.
