HTC Wildfire Cell Phone - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

Using the set up manager, you can set up all your social networks before you start using the Wildfire.

The HTC Wildfire allows you to set up Facebook, Flickr and Twitter accounts for use with HTC's Friend Stream and HTC Peep social networking services.

You can either set these up using the setup manager when you first turn your Wildfire on, or do it later

Setting up social networks with the set up managerThe set up manager will appear when you turn your Wildfire on the first time, or after you've carried out a factory reset of the device.

When the social networking setup screen appears, simply select the social networks you use and enter your username and passwords.

Each time you successfully set one up, you'll return to the set up screen to add more accounts.

When you've finished, tap on next.

To set up a new account, select Add account.

Here, you can choose which you want to set up for use on your Wildfire.

To use the Facebook widget on your Wildfire, opt for the Facebook for HTC Sense option.

Beware though, we found that we had to manually change the address from the default @googlemail.com to @gmail.com before it successfully signed us in.

When setting up your Flickr account, you will be required to confirm you're downloading the HTC Flickr downloader from a trusted source.

Opt for the second option as the first is sometimes regarded as untrustworthy and access to Flickr may not be granted.
