I have bought HTC ChaCha and now I want a PC application with which I can connect my HTC ChaCha with my laptop. Earlier I was using Nokia E5 and it came with Nokia PC Suite. I must say that it was a great application. You can manage and control your cellphone from your laptop with that application, send SMS messages by typing them on your laptop, save SMS, calender, notes and contacts backup etc. However I am amazed to find that there is no such application that came with HTC ChaCha. I have searched the web and all I got was some Chinese application.

HTC sync is not even close to Nokia pc suite... First problem - connectivity...
Well, tell that to HTC then
That's the PC suite for HTC phones, made by HTC.
There is no proper PC suite software for android phones (with exeptions), and you don't need such software.
Turn on google sync in your account and set everything with it. So everything that you need, you can do by your browswer (almost).
Contacts and email (gmail).
SMS through SMS Backup+ and (there is on forum software to send messages from PC using android phone)
Ringtones (uploading) - normal USB connection in card mode
Whole backup (there are softwares in Market for it)
There's a Motorola pc- suite type app that is not motorola specific. Connects to phone by ip on same wireless network.
Can't recall name right now but I used it on a few previous androids.

We can safely say that Nokia was more advanced in PC Suite department. Their PC Suite was superb. No issues with connectivity. I used to type SMS messages from my laptop and they were sent from my cellphone.
Try AirDroid app
Can I also add that as pretty long time nokia user (not now thankfully) I thought pc- suite was truly awful. Poor ui - but best of a bad bunch I guess.

I guess you are talking about early versions of Nokia PC Suite. The new one is very capable and user friendly.
I hardly use the updated PC Suite for my E72. I mean... Even when I just bought the phone. I am satisfied with my Androids as they are.
Sent from my HTC ChaCha A810e using xda premium
Sync
try myphoneexplorer
It can even sync Lotus notes and is free. you will have to install Myphoneexplorer_setup_1.8.2 on your PC and the client software on you htc chacha.
Recent versions of Ovi (Nokia) Suite have been very powerful and incredibly useful, but very resource unfriendly. On my i5, running the Ovi Suite was a breeze but when I installed it on my lower powered laptop, it used to grind for quite a long time. Sometimes I'd have to wait for well over a minute while it would establish a connection with my 5800. It also has a lot of processes running constantly to detect your phone so you have to keep on top of those, none of them are needed really. You don't need your PC to detect your phone and when you execute the .exe to run the Suite, they are called anyway.
On the other hand, I also used the INQ (lol) PC Suite. You could tell the INQ was still a very new phone as it looked like it had been made for Windows 95. Classic themed, 90s style of UI and a little bit weird to use. Yet, it offered a surprising amount of functionality. You could send & receive SMS using it (I did for a month when I smashed the screen on my INQ). The interface was basic but it worked quite well. You could transfer music to it. Again basic interface, transfer files and folders and not really much else. Not like the nice pretty synchronization of the Ovi Suite. It had Modem functionality and it also had a few other features like being able to view call logs, internal mem/sd access and could call up certain settings. Most importantly though, it had a tiny footprint on your resources. It was so fast.
For HTC, Sync is pretty much it.
Sorry, digressed a bit there, just an interesting conversation.

Hey there,
I have decided that I truly despise the native windows mobile facebook app. Is there any other (preferably free) ones that are good? I do think the current iphone one is quite good and easy to use, is there anyway to use that on the HD2? The WinMo one is just a pain in the arse to be honest.
Thanks
xx
I just use the touch site, works well, better than the native app.
the touch site lots of times doesnt work for sending messages it doesnt recognize when i type into the box
Hi all,
I've tried the facebook mobile site, touch site, facebook lite and market place app and they all have bad points. The worst is not all your friends status updates show. I tend to use the full site on my HD2 internet browser. Saves loads of problems. Will probably keep on using it till we get a good facebook app that is similar to the iphone app
can't really agree that the iphone facebook app is all that great though...
privacy issues is one thing, where syncing your contact with the iphone facebook app allows facebook the right to own every contact information in your iphone!
and their syncing system allows strangers on facebook to be synced to your iphone contacts... perhaps they synced it with contact information they got from other iphone users, based on phone no.s and etc, but ignoring country and area codes, which ends up syncing your iphone contact to a stranger in facebook, because they have the same phone no. (excluding country code)... that alone is scary enuf...
at least i'm happy with HD2's manila facebook integration, a little manual, but safer, and the album viewing is just smooth, with auto update of the avatar on the phone...
the app is not that impressive them, i have to admit... but iphone's privacy violation just gives me the jitters...
hey guys, i just ordered my evo 4g, i currently am using an htc touch pro...i have my phonebook hooked up to activesync, i want to take my phonebook and transfer it to the evo, is there any way i can do that? as i understand one is windows mobile and the other is android, i just dont want to type every number is seperatly
this place sucks, no advice here, whatever!
I guess you can sync it with Outlook and use this: http://www.google.lk/support/forum/p/Google+Mobile/thread?tid=11542b60e378bdf4&hl=en to sync it with android from there.

If so how can i go about putting this rom on this Exclusively China HTC phone.
It's a great phone honestly. But it's made for someone that is a permanent person in China. I'm a temporary student here for 2 years... I like the phone and I came from being a G2 user with the mod. Now if this phone can be with the Cynogen mod. Then it would be perfect. Because I can't get a normal market place on the phone... The HTC market place is no where as good or vast as googles market place. And I'd like my gmail to interact with my phone like it did in america. My gmail has all my contacts and what not saved on it.

I have similar problem, living in china and using htc s610d so could you find how to solve this issue?, I didnt yet. in case, I will post here.
thx
Would be nice if there could be opened a dedicated section for HTC S610D under forums.
I got this phone too and couldn't get in to the android market. So here's what I did:
Downloaded the HTC Sync Software which has the HTC USB drivers etc from www,htc,com
Set your device to run in HTC Sync mode when connected to a PC (in USB settings on phone)
Goto www,coolapk,com which is a market site that has most good apps on it in APK form.
Download the APK you want
Run HTC Sync
Connect your Device and make sure it is in HTC sync mode
After you've set up the device select "Application installer" on HTC Sync software on the PC
Select the APK File you downloaded. select ok
Wait
Huzzah
A quicker way after is to download the barcode scanner application from this website then just use that app to capture the bar codes on the download pages with your phone to download them directly onto the phone
And another thing, if you want your gmail contacts just go to:
settings,
accounts and sync,
add account,
exchange activesync,
enter your gmail email and password,
you can select to sync contacts, mail , calendar etc,,,

Hey there,
i lost access to my windows live account. Is there any way i can backup my contacts?! Htc Trophy, Wp Tango, no unlock.
thx!

You can still find the contacts in your phone, right?
If so then you can use this app for example
http://www.windowsphone.com/en-us/store/app/backup-contacts/e39fae14-46a8-447e-a708-ca31c39d7688
Then if you want you can import them to new windows live account using outlook for example.
Thx..too bad i cant use the marketplace anymore with this account issue
Guess ill have to annoy the ms support then, after that is all about the pen and paper method =//
If you have gmail ,just sync them , and your done!
My contacts dont sync, cause they were stored as ms contact type..
Changed topic.
What version of OS do you now have after reset? Tango ver is 8773 or 8779.
If you have a lower version then try to force the update through Zune by disconnecting your lan cable as it attempts to check for updates etc.
your a little bit too vague here
what did you have, device and version, what went wrong for your to do a hard reset, what do you have, now (version) and finally what is it you want
your mention tango but the chat seems to be more about live syncing issues so its a little unclear
can you elaborate a bit?
I just came from Android, and can't seem to find an app that I can text my contacts from the PC through my phone. Android has a few apps to do this DeskSMS and MightySMS.
Does Windows Phone have a similar app? I can't find one.

if you have a keyword with bluetooth facility then you just need to connect your phone with keyboard through bluetooth and you can start type text my contacts.
I think is referring to actually being able to send sms from a pc via internet. This is a great feature on Android and one of the only things holding me back from switching to the 1020.
