    Note 2 not fast enough for NetFlix?

    What Android version is on the Note 2? Firefox, for example, work much better (faster initial page load when first opening the app) on Marshmallow+ than on Jelly Bean (4.3). On 4.3 I have to wait about 10 seconds for the first website to open, whilst on 6.0+ it's near instant.

    Is 29gb of system use excessive?

    I don't know about newer phones (security-wise), but if there's no other way, check if you can flash TWRP or another custom recovery on it. Then mount the partitions in recovery mode after attaching a USB cable.

    Accidentally hit factory reset how do I retrieve data back

    Check if Google backed up any pics by installing Google Photos and checking all Google accounts (you had on the phone before the reset) within Photos.
