My friend is trying to buy a new phone and get rid of his slow HTC wildfire. It's slow making standard tasks, like loading up settings and messages. Everytime you press an icon or an item, there's a 2 to 3 second pause before the phone does anything. I'm not sure if it's the specifications of the phone letting him down or is it the phone itself not capable running the android OS Froyo OR is it just HTC being a pain in the arse and adding HTC sense to a phone that realistically doesn't need to be improve.
I recommend by friend to rooting and see if they've made any roms for Ice cream sandwich or even jellybean and get him off the ages Froyo OS. As i said a couple of weeks ago, CM10 (Jellybean) was ported over to the T-mobile G1, which is the first android powered smartphone ever and comparing Jellybean on the galaxy Nexus and the G1, there's a massive difference in speed but comparing the speed of Jellybean on the G1 and Froyo on the HTC wildfire, the G1 is slightly faster than the wildfire, even though they are years apart.
I'll be honest, i'm not a big fan of skins on android, If there's something wrong with the bog standard OS change it. but when HTC change the Multi-tasking on HTC sense 4.0.4, there's just no need. Here's a link where i talk about the Multitasking UI on HTC sense --> http://techguy276.blogspot.co.uk/2012/05/htc-sense-multi-tasking-ui.html
I'm not sure what CM10 heck even CM9 would do to my friends HTC wildfire, He says he doesn't want to root his phone, So we might not find out what CM9/10 to his phone.
There's always another option, he could buy a new phone and this what gets me on my other subject. There's just too much selection for phones these days, you've got Android with plenty of devices, i might like too many! Now it's good to have variety, like one with a slide out keyboard, one that has touchwiz or Motoblur or one with a big screen like the Galaxy Note. What i'm saying there's plenty to choose from but when you're an average consumer, it's very hard to know what you're looking for and consumers don't know if they are going to get a great user experience or get a suckie one from the HTC wildfire.
With me and the people who read my blog, you're taking a step further on what to look for in a phone and becoming a better consumer in the tech world. I've been doing it for years and know what i'm looking for and i've been able to pick up great phones for cheap, such as the i9000, i picked that up for £50 and they are selling it in the shops for £130 minimum.
There's one more thing as well. You should be happy with your phone on the very first day you get it. Don't be looking for a phone that might be getting an official update to the latest OS. You should be happy from day one and if you're not happy, well take it back because the Manufacters mught just decide that they aren't going to update your phone.
