Here’s a fix for connecting HTC Wildfire to Windows 8 and Windows 8.1, should work with other older phones too!
Ok so you upgrade to Wonderful Windows 8 or 8.1, install all your old programs and you suddenly realize that you can’t access your cellphone anymore with HTC Sync!
That goed for all Wildfire, Buzz, and the other older models that run on HTC Sense 3.x or older that don’t work with the newer HTC Sync Manager.
I must have spent 15 hrs trying to solve this online, downloading strange drivers and trying lots of wierd hacks, BUT – the fix was so easy once I figured it out!
Easy-peasy!
1. Install the newer software, HTC Sync Manager (download here), this will give you the new drivers
2. Then install the older software, HTC Sync (<a href="http://www best diet pills to lose weight.htc.com/us/software/htc-sync/” target=”_blank”>download here), it has to be installed AFTER! This will give you the program that works with your phone
3. Reboot (not necessary but always good)
4. Start HTC Sync, plug in phone, choose sync in phone, turn OFF debugging, turn ON debugging, wait one minute – Shazam!
Good Luck!
