[Q] What are Wildfire S Weaknesses ?

---

Hi, im planning to buy this phone. It looks cool, already Gingerbread, included the awesome HTC sense

But, things that i want to know is the weakness of wildfire s?
I really appreciate any reply. Thank you for helping me

Slow cpu. Only 600mhz while most other devices are higher such as the Samsung galaxy Ace which is clocked at 800mhz

When it comes to benchmarking thought that very same 600Mhz cpu performs nearly as well as the Desire with 1Ghz Snapdragon processor.Its not that slow!

Just got it yesterday, and as long as you use taskkiller or something else you should have an adequate experience (depending on what you had before). It may also take some time to get used to the size of screen (keyboard typing), but that's usually an isuue whenever you switch screen sizes.

I got my wildfire s one week ago and I came from a samsung spica. Is a big difference in responsiveness of display, more ram and rom memory, multitasking and better cpu, but, in my opinion the weak point is HTC Sense UI and all the stuff from htc already installed. I'd prefer a clean android. I hope will be rooted for a cyanogen rom.

I also think so. there are too many unwanted app in HTC.
However, there is enough RAM.

HTC's gallery app doesn't support picasa web, which you should remember, and I didn't know that.

Got mine on 2nd June. Its battery life isn't great. I use Auto Kill task manager to turn off unwanted apps, turn off wifi, GPS and bluetooth to save power and i get about a day's worth of phone calls from 9.30 am to 7.30pm. By then the battery drops to 15% or less.
I suggest not playing angry birds on battery for long as this drains the battery faster. The phone is otherwise quite good and even apps run well on it. A 1500mAH battery would have been great and hoping one comes out soon.

Task killers do more harm than good. As the phone has 2.3.3 there is no need to use a task killer as android has its own system to kill apps that are using the most battery life. Also if you look in the power section on the settings there is an option to enable power saver which restricts the power to your phone allowing more battery life.

Without the task killer the battery was draining too fast. Now am getting much better battery life. I've also turned off GPS, bluetooth and keep WiFi off unless needed. HAptic feedback is off too and have kept screen brightness down and no live wallpapers. These thigns together give me some hours more. Strangely even though haptic (vibration) feedback is supposed to be off it does give feedback when typing and when the phone rings. Might be a bug in the OS. Could others verify this too please?
