Hi! I am new at forum
I really like mobile tehnologies,and i want to bought new phone with Android.
Wildfire looks great,has very good hardver. but there is one problem,a resolution. Is this really big problem? Can i play a games and have a more good apps on that resolution? And price is 250euros. Is this so much?
What you say? Wildfire or something else like Galaxy 3,spica i5700?
Please help me!
P.S. sorry for bad English
well.. the resolution is not that good. because my friend had an iPhone4.. so i cant give my opinion here.. because we cant compare our wildfire with.. iphone's resolution right.
other than that, i think it's quite worth for this price range. nice outfit, a home with 5 pages, a 3.2" TFT capacitive 16M colour screen, and our lovely android 2.1. haha. and if u go thru this forum, u can see how we people desperating for the 2.2 froyo updates =)
First,thank you for answer
But you not say me what about 3d games and other applications. can I install and use it?

3D games don`t work on the Wildfire, for those games buy a phone with GPU (a dedicated processor for graphics).
Most apps work on wildfire without problems, only graphic intensive apps or app that have not been updated don`t work.
What will you buy Htc Wildfire with bad resolution and Android OS or Samsung Wave with great hardvre but with Bada OS ?
Thanks for answer
i'm not a fan of samsung, it's as simple as that, i like htc.

i want android. but for this price,the best is Wildfire. i very like this phone,but i am scared about resolution...i never have android phone
but Wave have fantastic hardver and price is same like wildfire! but i dont like bada os.
and i dont now what to bye and what to do??
I don't play games on my phone but I do think the wildfire is the best of the cheaper android phones - that's why I bought one! Also it's really easy to root with unrevoked 3!

Nice phone, Good quality and design. Very satisfied.
poor hardware.. proccesor running at around 600mhz.. the hero (around 2 years old now) had a 750mhz processor, better resolution etc etc.. if you can afford.. go for a legend.. much better with a ARMv7 Snapdragon running at 1Ghz..

what os is it running? the wildfire has really good battery life, and if you don't care about 3d gaming, then it's the phone for you, and it has overclock kernel now anyway, runs smoothly . i don't know anything about the samsung phone xD. the resolution really isn't that bad for the wildfire.
and if you could afford the legend, go for the desire instead, as the desire is more worth the money.

why poor hardver? for this price hardver is well but only problem is resolution.
procesor is the same like Htc Hero
In my country Wildfire is 230 euro,and Legend is 360euro. This is so much to me...

Wait.. who lied to you?
Hero hada Qualcomm MSM 7200A 528 MHz processor.
Legend doesn`t have a snapdragon proc, it has a Qualcomm MSM 7227 600 MHz processor.
@Alex_GP
What will you do,buy Htc Wildfire with Android or Samsung Wave with better hardver but with BAda OS?
Or samsung galaxy 3,5, samsung i5700 or anyone else in this range
And what do you think about Sony Ericsson Xperia X8?
It is better than Wildfire??
Most people here will be biased towards Wildfire. Best thing to do is go to a phone shop and try out each model youre considering, and choose which one best suits you
I bought Wildfire yesterday and im realy satisfied with it. Before i had nokia 5800 and i have to say, android is awesome! Phone runs fast and smooth. You have tons of apps. I have to agree resolution is problem. You can still install games like roland garros or assassin creed (which are 320x480) but you will only see 4/5 of game, which is good enough to see controls and its playable.
Overall, in this price range, WildFire is KING
I use my wildfire for social that's bout it. Got custom recovery, rooted, n debranded from Vodafone runs alot smoother with overclock.
If you want gaming, a lot of net browsing then get another phone.
If you want it for just a phone, email and Facebook etc.then its a great little piece of kit.
Recommend downloading a custom keyboard as its a wierd one froyo update keyboard that I.tested was a lot better.
I social network, browse interweb and play a few low res games fine.
Good luck.

The Wildfire also has much better battery life than any other smartphones on the market? I get about 3 days life as opposed to 1.5~2 days on my Desire

Between Wildfire and Wave, I`ll choose WIldfire because of Android. More apps, hacks and other stuff.
You can also look at LG Optimus One P500, if it`s available in your country. 600Mhz processor, HVGA screen, android 2.2 is a much better deal that the wildfire (except for the 3.2 camera).
Or i5700, great device, if you can find it, I would have bought a i5700, but I did not find it in any Vodafone store(old phone, not available anymore)

so im checkin out the promo vid which is nice. and it reminds me of an android mixed with a psp like OS. which looks awesome. they say 1.5 or 1.6 android will be on. but i hear feb 10th is the release date.
Do the Dev's and Pro's think it should be portable to our G1's nice and smooth? The hero Roms arent too bad, i could go for an xperia x10 rom speedy like todays hero rom. but if it's slow like when hero had the flipclock that actually flip. I'd just buy a new phone.

Reasons why you won't see an experia ROM:
1) It's WVGA compared to our phones which are HVGA. In other words the OS is designed to run on a 480 x 854, compared to our G1's 320x480. That's going to be a graphics nightmare.
2) It has a Snapdragon 1GHz processor, compared to the crappy 528MHz Qualcomm's in our G1s. That's going to be a performance nightmare.
3) And finally it's non-HTC hardware, which is going to be a driver nightmare.
Sorry for ruining the dream (pun not intended), bud.
But do you think we'll get some camera software from this that with a flash could make the next big HTC phone amazing camera-wise?

Very good points... damn i guess the Dream has to be out tech'd sometime. ohwell, theres plenty of time to enjoy it. Id love the screen and ghz up. but id like a keyboard.
Atm i got nokia n97 white and i am about to change phone, is it good trade to give my nokia n97 for wildfire?
I want from wildfire users to tell me more about phone pls, i know resi is issue
Now with CynaogenMod 6, H*LL YEAH!
I had the N97 before as well. Disadvanages of Wildfire are imho the screen resolution, battery and camera quality. Advantages of Wildfire are: dimensions (of the phone), display (excluding resolution), customizability, and apps.
In my opinion the Wildfire pros outweigh the cons. Go in a shop and try it for some minutes. And then don't forget that you can improve your experience with apps and custom roms!

dont buy this phone. low screen resolution= many good apps not available on market. gaming suck. not able to play 3d games. the updates also suck like Nokia. I have been waiting for froyo update for month but nothing until today. somebody say it will release this month every month but until now I still have 2.1 not 2.2. I m soon gonna dump this phone. I suggest u get mid-end android phone. not low-end phone like wildfire. I regret that I bought this phone
Yeah, Wildfire is so low-end...

I'd rather get the desire over legend, better value for money. As for wildfire, few 2.2 custom runs available already. Makes the phone awesome.

You wanna dump it? I`ll buy it for 50$.
It`s a good phone if you know what you are getting yourself into. If you drool all over the HTC Desire reviews and head to the store and buy a Wildfire, of course you`ll be disappointed. But if you want a low, medium- class smartphone that`s easy on the pocket then go for the Wildfire.
Oh, and how much time do you spend playing on the phone, really now? do you really need the 3d games? I have only 2d games on my wildfire and I`m having a bloody good time for the 10 minutes a week I`m playing on it.
If you want 3d games and play a whole lot of them, then go buy a PSP, this way you`ll have battery left in your phone to make a god-damn call.

i probly sell it to get mid end phone. not only 3d games, some good apps also not availabe on market like, camera 360, mixzing. i had spend a lot of time to "enhance" my wildfire, but still not satisfied (im greedy man). i had a psp but it not all the time with me. so i play games on my wildfire when i left my psp. i m not saying this phone suck. it just dont suit me. i bought this phone bcoz it cheap n my first android phone. i m not expecting low screen resolution had many disadvantages. good for u it suit u.
you can use the patched market to get those apps, and no the roms aren't really that buggy at all, well for me, i've tried them all, and so far, the only problem with CM6 is the default android phone dialer layout, but i use dialer one instead, so it's all fine.
@kevin thanks. i will search for the patched market...nway, i believe those apps are not shown on the non-patched market because the hardware limitation. is it save to install it? about the custom rom, i never tried them..i thought it was buggy from the post on the thread
hello all
i,m undecided with either OSF or wildfire, i can see the main advantage is bigger and better screen then the wildfire, apart from that is there anything else?
can i use the net from a different provider on the OSF?
any opionions on this would be appreciated to help me decide
and not bothered about camera, rooting, mainly used for net browsing, calls, texts and battery time is also a factor.
thanks
wildfire has lower resolution so it isn't very good for net browsing but has a smaller screen so battery life should be longer
It's honestly not a decision.
San Francisco. No question!
Better in every way (not camera).
Having set up both with practically same setup have to say the ZTE-Blade is far better, regards speed, screen space, graphics... camera's haven't checked but every HTC device have owned the camera is whak so never been a bigee when buying a smartphone.

OSF
I sold my iphone on Friday & picked up a San fransico today. Been playing with it a few hours n I have to say for £99 it's awesome! I'm using it on giffgaff, unlocked it with a free code from a certain website (google it), took about 2 mins!
I played with a wildfire & didn't think much of the small screen, plus certain games like angry birds don't work due to the lower resolution. AB seems fine on the osf.
So yeah, get the osf!
The GPU on the SF makes it the better choice if you fancy playing games etc.
OSF has better hadware specs but Wildfire has much better build quality and software interface. I have the OSF which is a good stop gap but seriously lacking a good ROM although that should hopefully change soon with official 2.2 leaks that's come through in the last 24hrs..... but the wildfire is a pretty good stable device!
thanks a lot for all your replies, my biggest issue nnow is i,m not sure on what rom to use TBH, but this is news to me about the official 2.2, is there any info on it yet?
also any opionion on what the best in terms of reliablity and with all fixes and similar to htc interface (htc clock and weather widegt - fancy widget i think etc)?
thanks
Probably, there wont be any official 2.2, though there is plenty of roms which have 2.2 in it.
I'd personally recommend "Japanese Jellyfish" wich is a really great ROM who have been working really good on my Blade.
thanks a lot, how about eclair 2.1, is there a decent stable version, dont need a singing and dancing rom, just stable with all important fixes and not a battery killer
thanks
ROM in Sig can be found on there forum along with a sweet black theme

If you're after stability and great interface (Sense UI) without messing about and supportability, the wildfire wins hands down.

Ive been using Sebastian's roms since v3. Excellent, stable rooms with good battery life and available in lite or full feature.
Latest one is called "r8_update_de-orangeated_blade_signed.zip" if you want to search for it.
OSF hands down mauls the wildfire. Out of all the HTC Phones, the Wildfire is the phone that i hate the most. I was one of the forst people to be using HTC'S (since the days of the XDA himalaya) All my friends would say it was crap. then now they all get the wildfire and try to compare it against my TG01 and OSF. one of my friends who owns a wildfire even said it was better than my Galaxy Tab, because it was smaller and 'quicker'.
the wildfire is a phone that i would happily smash to pieces..
No doubt the OSF is better than the wildfire in everyway. .
- faster CPU
- better screen
- more RAM
- nicer design.
- DOESN'T PISS ME OFF!
haha, thanks

Considering it's previously been said that the Wildfire, due to it's low resolution screen, doesn't support a large majority of apps, the "supportability" of the Wildfire you claim is questionable, no, ridiculous. The SF supports far more things.

Whilst I love my HD2 I have temporarily traded it for my cousin's captivate. Main reason so as to try out a native android phone.
So from my experience, i can conclude that android on this captivate is so much more smoother/faster than any rom from my HD2. In terms of variety of roms, it sucks, its either stock, themed stock, vanilla, themed vanilla. No variety in their roms really...
But that is where all those 3rd party launchers come in, like launcher 7. ;D
Whilst I do not know which device I want next, I do know it won't be another HTC or a motorola device. Reason being for both motorola and HTC, they've locked down their bootloaders now, so that means no more custom kernels, true root, etc. Also for HTC, snapdragon GPUs just suck, period.
I am keeping a keen eye on the galaxy s 2 however.
Definitely plan on getting the Htc Pyramid. Reasins why, 4.3' native android phone, dual core, 8mp camera, 1.3 front camera. 540x960 qhd resolution.

I don't know if i'm mistaken but i think that the devs are working hard on the locked down bootloaders that you mention.. and with a dual core snapdragon the htc pyramid sounds great.. but like you said just keeping an eye on it..
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
i think HD2 is the best right now with no comparing,but the time cpu upgraded the heat come more and more without solving,i think HTC should be ware of designing internal component in the future ,most of common problem related to hd2 comes from heat, stuck.freezing and sometimes i have to put mine in freezer to boot, ,
My contract runs out next month and I like to get the latest technology as soon as possible as then the phone retains its value when you want to sell it.
But what will be the next HD2? I love the fact that I can run WP7, Android etc will any phone in the future be so versitile? Probably not.
I'm really not sure whether to just stick with my HD2 or upgrade to the EVO 3D, just a shame it doesnt have a Tegra 2 processor as that would pursade me.
A Tmous HD2 with 1gb rom
@chars
Yes they are working on it. However since HTC just released the source code for the thunderbolt, by which allows devs to truly root the device, maybe HTC isn't following in line with locking bootloaders. If so I will be keeping a keen eye on the pyramid. However since it's an adreno GPU I'm not sure....
My friend have bought a brand new HTC evo 3D, powered with qualcomm 8660 1.2 ghz dual core processor. Phone look great, but , trust me, i dont want to change my i9000 for that phone (and probably any HTC). Screen on i9000 look much better(with smaller res 800x480 vs 540x960) , amoled is amoled , multimedia experince is much better on i9000. We tried to play regulary .mkv 720p shakira spot on both phones. Suprisingly htc evo 3d can't play mkv with stock player. Ok, both of us are downloaded bsplayer lite, and mx player from the market, and on the both players htc evo 3d (with hw accel enabled has stuttering problems), but with all players (including stock) on galaxy s video is smothly. Sound in any way is much better on samsung, and video record 720p stutter on evo 3d (fps is unstable) when light condition change, but with samsung this problems do not exist (video is perfectly smooth in any light condition) .Games and Browser on both phones work great, and i cant find big difference. And another thing, evo 3d has 1gb ram (808 mb actually), but he is full of bloaware, and rarely free ram is more than 150mb). this is enough reasons for me to stay this year happy with my sammy, and dont care about ICS, most phones will not get stable ICS before Q3 2012.
Hi 2 all.
wonderful!!!
What rom is your SGS running on? Great to see you so happy!
Galaxy s ftw :d:d
I love my Bell Galaxy S... does everything I want it to and works great.
Rom THS ICS v16
I will use this sucker until my contract runs out in a year/half or until I break it.
Power vr sgx540 ftw !!!
I must agree in some points. But Galaxy S is not a perfect phone. If we had to stick to stock roms then its a really average phone compering to other phones. Display is very nice and sharp, and thats what I like with my Samsung. Other things are more at average ( call quality, browser, camera, lag)
I had a Sony Experia Arc and it was bit better even on a stock rom.
But apart form all the bad and good things is that, you can buy Galaxy S for 150-180Euro ( used ). This can't be beaten, for that price its a best phone on the market right now. Plus you can have ICS on it and there is a big support community.
You may disagree with me. Its my personal opinion.
I have bought this phone after winmobile resistive device, so I have in plans to be with my galaxy s at least when something really different will come again)) For example - something with webtop possibility - like motorola atrix.
I am planning to keep this phone until 2014 It's a great larger sized smartphone.
I will wait for SGS2 port of ICS
Yeah the phone is great, i don't plan to change it soon, there are so many mods/kernel/roms to not get bored.
yeah sgs is still one of the best phones=D lots of roms etc. processor is still enough fast for almost anything

I came from a Blackberry Curve 8520 (ugh...) to my first Android experience with the SGS, and I couldn't have been happier.
Everything I've ever wanted to do with my phone has worked perfectly, it's definitely fast even today, and when I was finally starting to get (veeery slightly) tired of it 2-3 weeks ago, I found so many ICS builds (I was on GB until then) that only made it better!
It's one hell of a phone, and nowadays you can get it so cheap that I'd still recommend it to people who want an Android phone but don't need the latest, most expensive one with the most cores/RAM.

We tried to play regulary .mkv 720p shakira spot on both phones. Suprisingly htc evo 3d can't play mkv with stock player. Ok, both of us are downloaded bsplayer lite, and mx player from the market, and on the both players htc evo 3d (with hw accel enabled has stuttering problems), but with all players (including stock) on galaxy s video is smothly. Sound in any way is much better on samsung, and video record 720p stutter on evo 3d (fps is unstable) when light condition change, but with samsung this problems do not exist (video is perfectly smooth in any light condition) .Games and Browser on both phones work great, and i cant find big difference. And another thing, evo 3d has 1gb ram (808 mb actually), but he is full of bloaware, and rarely free ram is more than 150mb). this is enough reasons for me to stay this year happy with my sammy, and dont care about ICS, most phones will not get stable ICS before Q3 2012.
Hi 2 all.

So you're comparing your phone to your friend's, which still has bloatware and probably a stock ROM.
I love the SGS, but seriously, don't boost it like it can destroy the HTC Evo 3D until your friend actually installs a performance custom ROM on his new phone.

yes, i say how it look in reality, not paper specification. Everyone know that on paper evo 3d is much better,and yes, i also have stock jvq rom non rooted. Screen on evo 3d (without 3D mode) is nothing special, much better look on our galaxy, and multimedia on evo is poor. I did not say that our phone is best, i know that sgs2 is much better in any way, i just compared this phone with top HTC phone at the moment
Well regardless it's a nice spirit booster... I was just in between the price drop when SGS2 came out... So i i bought the SGS full price but i'm very impressed with it. Running ICS 4.2 and semaphore 9.1.
I was seriously considering upgrading to an SGS2 and compared two different ones to mine as i wanted the benefits of the S2 plus the better screen. But from what I saw although screen resolution was higher on s2 certainly it wasn't as bright and colours didn't Pop like on the galaxy s. Highest brightness setting on s2 also lower than S.
I wanted to buy a new phone a few months ago, untill I discovered custom roms....Now my sgs is as fast as a SGSII wit stock firmware...
I'm going to stick with this untill the SGSIII comes. And if that is not what I hope of it, I will stick with even SGS longer.
As said above, it's an average phone on stock, but with custom roms it's amazing. Only real negative part is the terrible camera and the lack of flash on it.
