However, the carrier has been slower introducing LTE phones. Since the Wildfire S only runs on Metro's 2. That's a real road block for data-hungry users. Conclusion An ultraportable, attractive, and feature-rich phone on any network, the HTC Wildfire S definitely has an appeal--so long as you have a well-honed appreciation for small screens. Sadly, after my experience with the glacial data speeds and wince-worthy phone calls, I can't recommend it for MetroPCS, at least not in my neighborhood.
If you're in a strong MetroPCS area, I urge you to conduct some in-store tests of your own before you buy. Jessica Dolcourt. Pricing Not Available. Its small size makes it trickier to maneuver the Web. Unfortunately, a slow data network holds it back. This is what we have to do :. HTC Wildfire S need to be hard reset to factory default when we can not access anything at this phone, or the phone going so slow or some unusual problem happen at our HTC Wildfire S.
Please remember to always backup your data before doing Hard Reset. The specifications of HTC Wildfire S is not too high, therefore we recommend to install only important applications that we use everyday. In some problem, the user already uninstall or delete unused applications, but the performance still slow. The applications have some setting, the setting may make the HTC Wildfire S always run as backround or download or send data to internet or do other action that can make the processor work more.
If you can not find the solutions, better you do hard reset. In normal usage, we can not increase internal memory. Running on Android you get the benefit of things like easy tethering so you can connect your PC to the Internet using your phone, you get free Google Maps Navigation and you get a world of apps available through Android Market. However, not all apps are supported on all devices, so you might find that some of the great apps that your friends have on their Desire won't be available for your Wildfire, because of the lower screen resolution.
Sitting at the core of the HTC Wildfire is a MHz processor, a noticeable step down from flagship handsets and the same as the original Hero. We looked at two different handsets during this review, both of which would throw up errors asking for elements to force close and sometimes having to reload HTC Sense, so something doesn't seem quite right.
We also found that the occasional freeze would see us selecting something we didn't intend to, including calling someone whilst browsing their details, because the response from touches would occasionally get held up. Moving the screen over to a capacitive display from the Tattoo's resistive means the response from the screen is better some software issues aside , although we didn't find it as good as the original Hero for speed, so it feels quite a step behind the immediacy that you get from the Legend and the Desire.
We like HTC's take on the Android keyboard, offering up smart suggestions to correct those misplaced fingers, even if it amusingly changed "crap" into "veal". The haptic feedback when typing holds up the process as the vibrations can't keep pace with your finger touches, so if you want to type at speed, the best suggestion is to disable it. Whilst the text entry isn't as good as loftier devices, we didn't have a problem with it overall.
Around the back you'll find a 5-megapixel camera which offers autofocus and an LED "flash" although video capture has been limited to a maximum x pixels, at somewhere around 15fps.
The camera gives average results, but feed it good conditions and you'll get a decent result out of it. In low light it struggles, often resulting in soft or blurry pictures with plenty of noise.
Video results are as good as you'd expect from the low resolution and capture speeds, so you won't be keeping pace with some of the more sophisticated imaging handsets or other Android devices in this department.
You can, at least, easily share the content you capture through the camera to the likes of Twitter, Flickr, Facebook, YouTube, Picasa or simply by email.
As we said there is GPS included, which can be put to good use with Google Maps and in this case offering free Google Maps Navigation to give you turn-by-turn driving instructions, although this is a little basic and won't beat a "proper" PND. GPS pick-up was fast enough, but again, the below average screen resolution means you don't get the best results from things like Google's Street View. You do get multitouch however, so you'll be able to pinch zoom on your maps, just as you will in the browser.
The Android browser is good and fast to load pages, but the low resolution screen means you'll need to do more zooming if you want to read text, so it is a more labour-intensive experience than some rival devices. HTC's Flash Player offers up internet video, although not all video is supported, so it isn't quite the complete internet experience.
Call quality is good and it is a comfortable handset to use, with the proximity sensor switching off the screen when it is next to your face and offering up options when it is pulled away. This joins a host of regular HTC goodies that make the Wildfire a pleasure to use.
Sitting under the back cover is a mAh battery which we found gave pretty good performance, but heavy use will see you charging it every day as is common with touchscreen smartphones.
