One of the most notable issues with the Samsung Galaxy S is to do with it’s lag. It’s an awesome phone, with amazing specs, but it does have a noticeable lag. The reason for this is because of the way Samsung implemented their internal memory. As you should know, the Galaxy S comes with a massive amount of internal memory which is in the form of an internal sdcard (you can still add an external sdcard too). This internal sdcard uses the FAT32 file system, we aren’t sure why they chose this because it is an old method, replaced with more efficient NTFS and ext file system types.
The Galaxy S suffers the lag when the phone attempts to write to this file system, holding up other tasks and giving the effect of the lag. The fix to this issue is to implement an ext partition onto this internal sdcard. This new partition allows the phone to run a lot smoother and faster, if you have a Samsung Galaxy S, then you haven’t even touched upon the power and speed your device is capable of until you follow the guide below. It’s so easy, you really have no excuse not to do it!
