HTC Chacha-One of the worst phone i had ever seen - HTC ChaCha

Dear All Developers
I m using mobile since last 11 years,i had never seen worst phone like htc chacha.
Very bad battery Backup
Camera is not much impressive as 5 mp
internal memory is very low-can play games & download more application even u root ur mobile..
WCDMA/3G is not working for me
Screen is to small for touch
Before HTC CHACHA i was using Galaxy pro,that was really good
My mobile usage is very high,I m Requesting to everybody to please help to unroot this mobile & guide me that how to lock the boot loader again so i can get some help from htc,they will not listen me becoz i had rooted & unlock the bootloader from HTC DEV...Also need stock rom so i can get back to original setting & all stock applications...
Please help Me ASAP

We are all aware of these so-called "problems" with the Chacha, and plenty of reviews state the same. I bought mine after making an informed decision, after reading as many reviews as I could find.
We all know that if you are a heavy user the battery life will be awful.
We all know the internal memory is very low (unless you use a custom rom and a2sd).
We all know the screen is slightly too small for regular touchscreen use, and most of us bought it for the hardware keyboard.
The camera (in my opinion) is the same quality as my HTC Desire, if not a bit better.
3G not working is likely a signal issue in the areas you use it.
You cannot re-add the warranty by re-flashing a stock ROM as there is a secure warranty flag in the software which is changed when the bootloader is unlocked and cannot be readded.
You could have found all of the issues you give without rooting the device and voiding your warranty. I don't think HTC would be able to fix your "problems" even if it was still under warranty.
I'm not trolling here, just being realistic.

hey
Battery is roughly equal to or better than the majority of android phones i have previously owned
Camera is ok for a budget phone - 5mp and a flash is rare on phones of this price range! (and much appreciated)
The internal memory is low but there are various threads on this site explaining how you can improve this (including a factory reset)
if 3G is not working it would be an issue with custom rom you installed - (common fault on some custom roms) which is a risk you should be aware that you run.
as for the phone I agree with the previous poster where I personally got this phone due to the qwerty keyboard and android mix - for its price its a great handset

since 2011 feb till 4 days ago, i owned an HTC desire. - The pictures taken with it was awsome. And the battery last me 1,5 day.
Since 4 days ago, my usage for mobile wasn't changed. Only the phone. Now I have an HTC cha cha.
The battery is ok for 12 hours. After that.. is dead.
And the pictures.. noisy and unfocused sometime. if you upload some of your chacha pictures, I will do the same. ..
maybe some of us are unlucky and got some lemon camera batch.
what do you say?

Thanks Everyone for Replying the Post

If you delete stock apps you will NOT get free memory. You will get some reserved system memory freed up. Which you cannot use, unless you want to integrate application updates into your ROM using Titanium.
@GxG - airsoft much, eh?
'ssup man, it's me

thanks alex..u r right i get the same sapce after deete those application..i wan get back to stock rom as i discussed with with you on ms...i have the rom files,please suggest how to flash to get back to stock rom with all application..i have the backup of all the files i had deleted but m unable to install them again.i had taken backup using root uninstaller...please alex i really need ur help to get orignal stock rom o my mobile..i had done factory reset but dnt get stock rom & deleted applications....
thanks in advance

The bad battery and low memory are fixable to some extent... Can't comment on the camera since I don't use it. And the screen size is the sacrifice you make for the QWERTY keypad in a candybar form.
My girlfriend has no complaints after we found the work arounds for the battery life. But then again, she is not a heavy user. She uses her phone for reading ebooks and music aside from the usual text and call.
There are ways to fix some of your issues. But if the hardware issues are dealbreakers for you, then get a phone with a bigger screen and bigger battery capacity. The chacha is decent for it's price. Wouldn't say that it is super amazing though...

Well, if you need big screens then why did you go for a Chacha? For me the screen is fine.

I completely agree with Flexmaen.
My biggest problem was the internal memory and the battery. After rooting, buying a new battery and using Juice Defender, my problems have subsided. I'm liking the Status way more than my previous phone (BlackBerry).

hi all,
i gonna to buy CHACHA and i see it is very good
bbut i see problem with moving to SD but i see on HTC website and as i know on android 2.3 we can easliy move apps to SD
htc.com/help/www/howto_iframe.aspx?id=73282&type=1&p_id=394
Moving applications to or from the storage card
Move downloaded applications to the storage card if the internal storage on HTC ChaCha is getting low. Or, if your storage card is getting full, you can also move applications from the storage card to the internal storage.
Note: You can only move applications that are not preinstalled on HTC ChaCha.
From the Home screen, press , and then tap Settings.
Tap Applications > Manage applications.
On the Downloaded tab, tap the application you want to move.
Choose whether to move the application to the storage card or to HTC ChaCha.
is this wrong
and about battery is there i buy another original battery is it will be good ?
thnx

Yes, but they still will leave some data on the internal storage. So when I installed about 70 Apps my internal memory was full and not much that can be done than.

If you battery was that bad I'd change it on guarantee.
You can try to improve battery life by using CPU tuner (needs root) or Juice Defender or just turn off data transfer manually.

Thanks Everyone for Replying the Post
Totally agree with all of u guys that but still we need to think that if we r spending money on any android phone for using email & social networking or playing games on this....if company have launch this phone with lots of feature then they should also place a good battery to use these feature...i dnt like this mobile just becoz of two reason-battery & internal memory...

With a beginning like "Dear all developers" and an ending like "Please help Me ASAP" you sound like we made the phone
Look, the point is we all know about these problems. I'm using the phone since October and I know that a lot of the problems you have stated have been discussed in the general thread like 5 times each. You should have checked first before buying the phone.
Let this be a warning to everyone, learn to search and research.
For example, a few statistics from our forum:
General section:
Threads: 336
Posts: 2,686
Dev section:
Threads: 103
Posts: 2,649
Do you really think that no one ever stated that the battery is poor in at least one of the above threads/posts? I can pin-point two threads discussing about how bad the battery is and what replacements you can buy on ebay for example.

As the guys have said the solution to a usable android phone with great keyboard is within your grasp!
I use osr
Have the cpu tweaked using the settings in that rom. Have ext on the sd card so currently over 100mb free on the phone.
Green Power for good measure.
Much much better than when it came out of the box now!
sent usin' tapatalk innit.

the battery issue is not only for HTC phone but to almost all android phone with similar capacity. it's depend on how u using the phone. since you are a heavy mobile user, in the first place you shouldn't have choose this phone... i'm been using android, ios, winmo except bb phone. the battery life mostly depend on how u use it.

There is something wrong then. Try installing watchdog and see if there are any processes using a high percentage. It could be an app, and you might have a bad device. Try all your options first, there is more about this in the current battery thread here which is where this post really belongs.

What % is considered 'not favorable' in Watchdog.
I just installed because I was curious about my own setup.

Best battery? Battery life is all relative. Every single person will experience different battery life. The apps you have installed, the amount of time you spend on it and the time you spend on/in each app, distance from cell towers, distance from Wi-Fi sources, settings you have for every app and things like sync and what not.
There is no single variable that will ever help any of us find out what the best battery life is.
All the settings in the world won't help you achieve the 2 days I'm getting because I use mine differently that you, I have different apps on mine that you, I am at different distances from cell and Wi-Fi towers/antennas than you.
The best battery life is what you get out of yours.
right now watch dog says used 8% idle 59% apps 62

IMHO that would be a huge mistake, but it is your choice. Just one that I think you would end up regretting.
well i just read the review on engadget they claim to get 20hrs of battery life with heavy use and lots of phone calls and it has gingerbread......

And it only has 512MB of RAM, no SD card expansion, built by Sammy (and that isn't a good thing). It's a step down. No HSPA+ support.
You have to understand that the Nexus S is a dev phone that is oddly being offered to the public. It's not really even meant to go head to head with phones like the MT4G and others. It's a pure developer phone.
But again, it's your choice.
you are right in a way but i feel that gingerbread has fixed the battery issue and we will have to wait for ever to get gingerbread on our mytouch. And whats up with the youtube app? it is still not fixed with the ota
Way to stray off topic. LOL

There are some threads in the development section. The true permroot thread has a guide to flash back to S-on and you can even flash back your original Hboot. I have done it before and it is not hard.
I don't know how long you have had your device but I would give it some time if you have only had it a few days. If you are about to run out of your remorse period then a exchange should be of concern. If you bought it from a retail store you can just go back in and get another one. If you bought it from the internet then you will have to call them and get them to send you a new one.
PS: I assume you are on the software 2.2.1 right?

if i turn the s on and i made a back up of my original rom and. and i do restore of my backup. is that good enough? if i wana send back this device?
Your gonna sell mt4g and get a nexus s.... lol it has no SD card slot and no hspa...

[Q] Heard of Telstra Smart-Touch (ZTE T3020)??

Has anyone heard of an Android Telstra Smart-Touch (ZTE T3020) because I bought one a few days ago and I cant seem to find anything on this phone about Custom ROMs, Rooting etc. It would be really great if someone could tell me how to Root this phone because im going insane on trying to root this phone and could you also help me find a Custom ROM, thank you
People I really need help with this. Especially the Custom ROM part
How to find a custom ROM:
Throw your ****ty Hellstra Smart Touch in the bin.
Leave house.
Spend more than $100, buy something which is actually worth having.

I have one of these dog **** phones at the moment as I'm waiting on my SGS2 which arrives from Mobicity (via Hong Kong!) next week. I can honesty state that this is the single most useless piece of **** imaginable. I'm not a huge fan of people who troll, but this comment made me laugh my arse off!!!
Dude, go buy a better phone... seriously!! You could have got an HTC Wildfire or something... anything!!! The ZTE may be cheap, but it's money down the drain!!
I bought this phone when I was on 2 weeks holiday around Perth 2 months back. What a surprise for a cheap phone. I found it to be awesome given the selling price at **** Smith with the free car charger offer & $10 starter pack. I love the responsive resistive touch screen UI which I found to be far smoother & better than my LG Optimus One capacitive screen which cost about 3 times the price of the ZTE T3020. In fact I liked the phone so much I that I bought 3 more units before departing back to Malaysia. Each of my teenage kids & wife are now happy users of the ZTE. BTW they downloaded so much apps that the phone quickly ran out of internal memory.
So this is what I’ve done to the phones:
1. Unlocked (free using the imei) & by inserting a non-Telstra carrier sim card into the phone.
2. Partitioned the free 2GB SDcard into fat & Ext2 partition with Minitool Partition Wizard on my Win 7 PC
3. Rooted the phones with Universal Androot app
4. Installed Link2sd app to transfer other installed apps from internal memory to Sd card partition & free up the phone memory
5. Also managed to install IGO 8 (QVGA 240x320 version) which ran well on the phone without crashing. GPS tracking was accurate.
Until a ROM upgrade to Froyo is available, worth exploring how far we can push this baby. Maybe it’s time ZTE T3020 owners start sharing here...
Is there a way to reset pattern lock on this T3020 or hard reset??
Cheers

Zte t 3020
you say "1. Unlocked (free using the imei) & by inserting a non-Telstra carrier sim card into the phone."
But don't you need a number to enter into the phone? and how do you get that, do you have any special software to generate it ?
I would really appreciate help with this, it might be a cheap phone , but for the price it has a lot of interesting features.
imei number? ,take battry out to see number ,plenty of vids online to show you how to do rest just google it, network unlocking is very easy.
HEARTCARE has done what you need to get most out of this phone,
i dont use android market or any googleapps and other useless preloaded apps
which i have removed
a realy good launcher for this phone is called NEMUS 1.1 this launcher is only about 1.7mb
compared to the17.4mb for the stock launcher ,nemus has great features like
app hider and auto oriantation and icon press changer and other tools ,i use as defalt launcher
and after you backed up your apps wiv "titanium backup pro" you can delete stock launcher from phone thus giving you more space ,as i do with all apps once i used them ,then iam able to restore any app anytime i need to use them "android zip pro" is my most used, i zipp evrytthing saving even more space ,i have tryd evry app out there (alot of crap outthere)to get most outa this phone
so just ask

there are many names/models for this phone you can also try for zteN600 zteLINK zteX850 zteBLADE sum o these phones apps will work on zteRACER
T3020
Sorry to add my two cents worth in an old thread, but as a woman who has particularly long fingernails, is one a very few phones that has a resistive touch screen, which I can use. I also have a capacitive phone, which even with having to go out and buy a stylus for, it is not as good as the cheap little T3020.
Personally I do not like the dumbfones , as I have a PC and internet at home

ROM Request will pay 200$

need to have a custom rom developed for HTC ChaCha with only core apps present and rest of the apps removed, primary need is that the user of the rom cannot turn off data and gps.
if anyone can make it, i will pay 200$ for this project, for details email me at [email protected]

Just keep them both on and don't turn it off. If you don't turn it off ( and disable the power saver) they will remain in the same state till your battery hits the 5% mark. Use any rom which is currently available and just remove the apps which you don't need. You can ask the community here to get your list of apps which can be removed safely and also HOW to remove them. It just takes very less time to do all this and also save you 200$. ChaCha itself costs about 200$. You could have bought a better device with 400$..

[Q] Have to Choose a phone in One Hour

First, I am sorry for the thread, I know most of them can be found by searching, but I have a friend coming from USA (in which the phone prices are less than half of what they are in my country) who asked if I want a phone. I have to decide very quickly, his plane will take off in a few hours I think. I have a Galaxy S now and I have to ask these questions:
1-) Is installing a stock ICS rom possible? I've seen a thread which says S-Off is not possible so I don't know what is going on. Actually I've never heard of S-off, I've never used a HTC phone. Just guessing.
2-) Is the micro arc oxidation problem solved? Will I have problems too?
3-) How is the screen?
4-) What is the difficulty of installing ROM's in HTC devices? It was easy for Samsung phones.
5-) Do you recommend it? Any major flaw other than Micro arc oxidation failure?
Thanks, please quick!
Had more problems on the galaxy s while flashing.
display is similar to the galaxy s
Have no real problems

Well your 1 hour deadline is long gone !! But if you still want my answer here it is:
-The One S Comes with ICS so no need to worry about that, S-OFF is in development so you also dont need to worry about that
-Micro Arc Oxidisation is only for the black One S, So if you get the silver version you will be fine, Otherwise, Im not sure this issue has been addressed, It depends on the batch version, If its a newer one it *could* be fixed.
-The screen is awesome, Some people dont like amoled, But i guess you do (having SGS1) its better than the SGS1 its a lot more vivid and sharp
-Flashing ROMs is easy, Just as easy as the Samsung, Just be sure to READ ALL THE GUIDES first, you should be ok, We have a very helpful crew in these forums.
-I would highly recommend it, Some users consider the 16gb memory a flaw, as only 10gb is for the user, However you do get 25gb dropbox space with this phone, So if memory isnt a huge issue for you...... GO FOR IT !!!

Well, I've waited for an answer in pain for an hour, and went ahead and told my friend to buy it. It is very nice to see that all of my concerns have been addressed.
I am looking forward to it. Thanks a lot my friends.

[Q] Kyocera Event Virgin Mobile Question

Does anyone own this phone?
I may have to get one and was just wondering if its a decent phone or not.
Things are tough right now and I don't think we are going to be able to pay our Verizon bill and I may have to just go spend the $40 at walmart to pick this up
Anyone had any success rooting this phone? How about CWM?
Please let me know.
Thanks!
I have one and root is possible, but the bootloader is locked because virgin mobile is bein stupid so cwm is out of the question so if u get one and root it be careful. I suggest a different carrier like at&t Go Phone

Just bought this phone a few days ago from amazon. I got it to replace a Kyocera Rise that I unceremoniously managed to boot loop when I went NUTS with checking too many options using the Pimp My ROM app. I nearly had that one for a year, so in a way, not a big loss for me, as I paid around $50 for the Event (incl. one day shipping).
I haven't activated the phone yet, but doing everything else on it seems to be all right. I've tested a couple of 3D games on it already: Temple Run 2, and Raging Thunder. Seems to run both fine, with only a tiny bit of lag on TR2. That can be improved once the phone is rooted. For now, I'm using my older, rooted LG Optimus V as my cell phone. I'll probably load a couple of benchmark apps to see how the phone holds up.
I loaded a full MP4 movie (rip from DVD) onto the Event to test 2D video.
The Event has about 1.2 GB of internal storage available, but the more important issue is the system RAM. It has 360 MB available out of 512 MB. That's only 3 MB more than the Rise... aack! But that can be improved upon once the thing's rooted. Ordered a case + screen protector for the Event earlier this morning... as soon as that arrives, I'll have the phone activated. Then I'll root it. I might skip out on doing any big fixes on this one. The main issue I had with the Rise anyway was with the wifi reception. It seems to be much better with the Event, from my own usage. Also, the cell phone signal bars seem to light up higher with the Event, so I shouldn't have too many problems with phone calls and texts. That usually means better 3G reception as well.
When this phone's rooted, these are the only fixes I'd do to it:
1. Editing the /system/lib/egl/egl.cfg file. Back up the original, name it egl.cfg.bak, then edit the original like this:
0 1 adreno200
# 0 0 libEGL
It looks something like that, but basically, put hashtags on the other lines to uncomment, or delete them. That fix enables the Event to use only the hardware drivers for 2D and 3D full time. Makes a huge difference in phone performance. Edit the permissions first, from r-- to rw- before editing the file. Once it's saved, put the permissions back to r--, then reboot. If you don't do this, the phone may boot loop!
2. Titanium Backup. This can backup all the apps on the phone, including some system apps. TB can be used to freeze unwanted apps as well. Some folks suggest uninstalling the bloatware, but I wouldn't do it, in case the phone gets a system update. Freezing should be fine.
3. Link2SD. This is essential if you want to free up space in internal storage. I use this to link any app that can't be installed to the SD card. It requires a second partition; I used FAT32 (2 GB partition) with the Rise, as it didn't have a custom ROM that had the ext4 modules. This will probably be the same for the Event. When formatting the SD card for this, make sure that the main partition that the phone reads upon booting has the boot and lba flags checked. I use gparted in Linux to partition and format SD cards
4. Greenify. This allows apps to hibernate when the phone is idle. It even hibernates some apps while you're using the phone, saving you some memory and CPU cycles. That can help save some battery power.
For now, I'm using Advanced Task Killer to maintain some free memory and help reduce unwanted CPU cycles. Green Power Premium cuts off the 3G/WiFi when the phone is idle. ATK kills apps, but I set it to work every two hours. That lets the phone do its memory tasks, while ATK kills the more stubborn apps (mostly the bloatware I don't use).
Hope that helps you out, and good luck.
Thanks for the input guys.

WOW that's some good input. Didn't want to get rid of this phone, now it doesn't look like I'll have to.

I got this phone for $20 at Walmart's Black Friday sale. For that price who could pass up Android 4.0x? Despite its apparent lower quality, I am quite pleased with its overall performance and the virtual keyboard, surprisingly, works better than a many other phones I have tried.
permission question
Hey all,Ive never messed with changing permissions,I have an Event and Im wonder ing when I open the permission page with root explorer it reads like this
READ WRITE EX
OWN X X
GROUP X
GLOBAL
In the post it says "from r-- to rw- before editing the file" Dopes this mean OWN has 1 X,GROUP has 2 X,and GLOBAL is blank correct? Then edit file and change to how it was in the begining? Thanks alot!!!!
Sorry to rehash and old thread but this one seemed to fit the best to what I am experiencing and what I'd like to ask.
I have owned this phone a little over 3 months now, switching from LG Optimus V, I have some grief from the day one.
First and foremost, it is very unstable. On the average, I have to hard reset it once a day, most of the time, more than just once. And when I say Hard Reset, I mean holding the power button down forever for the phone to reboot as the screen doesn't show anything. A few times, I went as far as removing the battery.
Question 1. I looked around hard and I didn't see any custom ROMs or any custom recovery modules, likes of clockwork. Am I missing something ?
My main concern was the ability of running FoxFi and as expected, it did not run on this one. So, I took the advie of some guys over at the android forums and loaded up poot to root it. It seems to have no problems with rooting. But afterwards, I have tried few hotspot apps and never been able to turn on this fjunctionality. I know the apps I chose required root access and I turned it on before starting the app, but nada...
Question 2. How can I get either FoxFi working on this thing ? Or short of it, how can I make any (suggestions welcome) WiFi hotspot app working with it ?
Thanks in advance

Yes I own a virgin mobile kyocera event and sucessfully rooted device with no problems at all. The process is much more simplified now than it was when I rooted, so lucky you And your going to want TWRP so you can use the recovery stored on SD if you do come across and bootloop or brick issues. Its worth the $30 I spent It's not the best by far, but its really pretty capable once rooted. Much better than I had expected. I hope I was of help to you, and if u decide to buy it and need help rooting I'm down.
