Wildfire S overheating

Search for 'Advanced Task Killer' in the free apps.  It lets you know what programs are still running and you can Kill the selected apps.  This may help.  It certainly saves me a lot of battery usage.

Timviola, yes please, tell us what the result is.  My phone gets 'warmish,' but never worryingly so.

I suppose the internal magic is far beyond the ilk of mortal man and only the maker/designer can interrogate the phone to discover the fault.

Let's hope the response is a fast one.   There's nothing more annoying than having to send a piece of kit back to the manufacturer who then takes days and weeks to sort it out.

Given the huge publicity campaign for the Wildfire S, and the large amount of money spent on their campaign, HTC will not want to be reading in any Forums dedicated to the Wildfire S, that there are customers having problems.

Any prospective buyer will be 'googling' to research all he/she can find out about the phone before spending any money.

If it turns out that your phone is a 'one off,' then all will be well for the company, (but obviously not pleasant for you) however, if more Wildfire S owners find they are experiencing the same problem, and they discuss this on the Forums, HTC will have to address the matter ASAP.

It could be that you have a rogue/duff battery, in which case a replacement battery will solve your problem.  Let's hope it is that.

Keep us posted.

I've had my Wildfire S for less than a week and am not using apps or too much internet, no music or downloads, and haven't got email working properly yet. However, my battery lasts less than a working day on standby, and the handset does get worryingly hot.

I am not a fan of iPhone, hence the reason for taking the Wildfire S, but so far, my experience is not good.

Where do I obtain the app killer and screen brightness widgets?

Thanks.

Hi,
my battery lasts about 4 hours in use and about one day in standby. I'm always connected to the Google services. (Also latitude, which I think drains the battery more than when disabled)

The battery seems to be defect. Mine shows 20-40 degrees celsius

Turn off Background data, in "Menu>Accounts and sync>Bacground data"

Anything at that level is unacceptable for a phone for everyday use. Charging twice a day should be unheard of, even with extreme use. I thought my Nokia E71 was bad at less than once a day, but I now wish I was still using it... unfortunately, I unlocked it from '3' when I got the Wildfire S!

One problem seems to be the sensitivity of the screen. With so many apps and widgets on the home screen, whenever it's in my pocket or case, many of them get opened with the slightest touch, and start consuming massive amounts of battery.

I will see if my replacement is better, but I am actually starting to HATE the HTC Wildfire S.
