Samsung Galaxy S - brief review
03-06-2017, 06:37 AM
ok so it's narrowed down between the desire and the Galaxy, so my choice is take the risk in the hope that the new firmware for the Galaxy sorts all the problems or just get the desire which in itself is still a awesome phone.
My upgrade is due 28th August so have just over a month to see how we go

Here are some benchmark scores - as you can see the Nexus One running 2.2 is way out in the lead, however the image on the right shows what I'm trying to do to my Galaxy at the mo and the performance boost it will allow (if I can figure out this linux/command prompt stuff!) Once the Galaxy has 2.2 it will be even faster, because it's hardware is far superior.

One more thing to throw a spanner in the works, take a look at the Nexus One. Almost identical hardware to the Desire. Differences, Desire runs HTC Sense (so if you like that, then go with that) but Nexus is already on android 2.2 (froyo) which is miles faster than the desire. But the new firmware has fixed my galaxy, so if you're not afraid to flash the device, then the Galaxy's screen is amazing, it's also so much lighter than the desire that it's silly.

03-06-2017, 07:06 AM #33yeah just watched a few reviews on youtube of the Galaxy vs Desire and you can see how much clearer the screen is on the video.

DaveEdin Parthiban, what Linux commands are you trying to run?
Might be able to assist, have dabbled with Linux and its the os for my desktop...
Basically I'm trying to do what's in this thread, I've done everything it said but I don't seem to be getting the result everyone else is. Do you know where I might be going wrong?

Dan_Turism0 never liked motorola, my last 3 phones have been samsung and always liked them as a brand
The motorola android phones are pretty good, if anything it's what samsung's done to the galaxy S that I don't like, the hardware is brilliant, but the software could do with a bit more work, especially having come from an HTC.

Got it sorted, and it's amazing! Definitely go for the galaxy, mine is like 3 times faster than the desire now, and I'm not exaggerating - it is literally flying! I'm amazed firstly that Samsung could've crippled such stunning hardware so badly, and also that some tech geeks off a forum could figure it out and create such a simple fix that even I could sort it - well chuffed :thumbup1:
