Looking to root your HTC Wildfire S? Click here The HTC Wildfire S has recently gotten the Android 2.3.5 update, posing a brand new lockscreen with customizable icons and performance improvements, which is great as low end smartphones need as much speed as possible. If you are a HTC Wildfire S user, you should be getting the update soon. People on Three UK have gotten the update, such as myself - and many others on the XDA Developers HTC Wildfire S forum . Unfortunately, the Android 2.3.5 update does not come with Sense 3.0 UI, it stays with the 2.1 UI. And for the original Wildfire users, it looks like you will be staying with Froyo 2.2 for the moment. I will be posting a video up soon showing you the Android 2.3.5 features, stay tuned for that. :D

The other day I was trying to find out some SD Card information on my HTC Wildfire S, such as the CID, MID and so on. I searched around and couldn't find anything useful except long scripts and coding. Luckily, I found a cool little Android Application called SD Tools . It did what I wanted in a matter of seconds, apposed to the time taken to do coding.     SD Tools is a free android application that lets you view your CID, MID, OEMID and many more features such as benchmarking, name, date and storage space. Using the serial number, MID, OEMID you can check if that new SD Card you got off the market is fake. If your SD was fake, it could lose your files, so SD Tools is great for telling if you were ripped off. You can also benchmark the read and write speeds on your SD Card, so if you had multiple SD Cards you could use the fastest one for transfering movies, the second fastest for music, the slowest for photos and so on. Overall, SD Tools is a great app you should consider u

 HTC promised that they would unlock all 2011 HTC devices, but as 2011 comes to an end; it certainly has not happened for us HTC Wildfire S users. The HTC Wildfire S still remains S-ON phones and our internal memory is so low (probably due to stock apps) that we're gonna go crazy! A user over at XDA-Developers, " *se-nsei. " recently posted a thread calling out Android developers to gain freedom for our unrooted Wildfire S'. This thread has been supported by the XDA-Developers blog , and many other users, even some who do not own the device. That's why we need you're support to find great and giving developers to help us find a free solution to gain S-OFF/Root on our devices, perhaps as a christmas present for us! Many of us cannot afford/do not want to invest our money on an XTC Clip to gain S-OFF, when it can easily be done for free. Tweet the thread here! Ask HTC UK on FB (or any other official HTC page) about it! Post on the thread! (
