  1. You can try Coolmuster HTC Manager software to manage and edit htc phone data on computer.

  2. I am unable to use 3g in my HTC wildfire S, no option is available, how can I get it update? Please share the info..

  3. If you are experiencing problems downloading the HTC sync manager, please download any generic android sync utility manager for android/mobile phones, because the HTC brand does not make it more sophisticated in regards to technology, your PC decides what works with certain devices as I have gradually come to learn over time and experience.

  4. Absoloutely rubbish. I have attempted several times to download the Sync manager but it simply doesn’t work. You can only download the Utility Sync manager webpage broswer which is not what I want at all. I have also used various pc ports to connect the phone to the PC so that it can automatically detect all relevant driver software to no avail, and neither is there an option to uninstall re-install device drivers. The best option for anyone experiencing this same issue is to download a generic android sync utility that will most definitely work with most HTC mobile devices, because there is nothing particularly sophisticated about them – only the name which means High Tech Computer.

  5. I suddenly can’t download my photos. Have not changed anything, but I get a message to say that the device is not plugged in.

  6. im cant get my wildfire to sync, it keeps saying there is a problem 1001?

    Anyone help?

  9. I bought a brand new HTC Wildfire S yesterday. I am trying to sync my contacts into this phone but it just doesn’t work.

    I have followed the installation instructions and have it installed on my laptop (running Windows 7 Ultimate).

    When I connect the phone, and select the connection as HTC Sync, it connects to my laptop, and then a button saying “sync now” appears on the phone. I select that, it says it’s syncing, then says it’s finished syncing, but nothing appears in my contacts list – no contacts come over.

    I have trawled through the help guide online to find out how to set up the sync so I can sync my contacts and it says this:

    1. Connect HTC Wildfire S to your computer using the USB cable that came in the
    box.
    2. When HTC Wildfire S prompts you to choose a type of USB connection, tap
    HTC Sync, and then tap Done. Wait for HTC Sync to recognize HTC Wildfire S.
    3. On the Device setup screen, enter a name for HTC Wildfire S.
    4. Click Save. The Device panel then opens.

    I connected the phone, that worked, yes it came up with the choice of USB connections. I chose HTC Sync, and then Done.

    I DON’T GET A DEVICE SETUP SCREEN ON WHICH TO ENTER A NAME AND A “DEVICE PANEL” DOES NOT OPEN.

    Where is this mythical “device setup screen” and where is this mythical “device panel” ? There is no such thing on this phone!

    I am tearing my hair out and if I can’t resolve this today, the phone is going back to the shop.

    PLEASE can someone help me with this? Thanks in advance.
