Custom ROMs for the ChaCha? That'd be cool!
yeah! can't wait to get this chacha!
Oh yeah, i can't wait to buy this phone. I hope some devs will care about the ChaCha.
I, too, cant wait to get it. My only concern with it is the hardware keyboard and its durability. Before i got myself a Wildfire i used Blackberries. Since i message a lot and use email quite extensively on the phone, the hardware keyboard tends to deteriorate after a year or so. Will see after i get it myself. In any case my trusty wildfire is still alive and kicking now as it was the day i bought it. It should be interesting to see how this combination of touchscreen and hardware keyboard performs.

No need to be rude
you keep a phone for a year
I can't get past a month LOL
I'd be very interested in helping with this. I'd like to bring the battery calibration bits to this phone/battery too
I will probably start developing for ChaCha in 2 weeks, if I manage to get the money I need. So I'm with you guys
The QWERTY / hardware keyboard is the flimsiest I've tried yet. I've had Palm Treo, Centro, Pre, motorola Charm - and tried Blackberries. these are ALL superior.
The keys are OK but it's easy to press a key without meaning too - and the right arrow is kind of less clicky than all the other keys (I confirmed this bug on three ChaChas in HTC's concept store hands-on in Copenhagen.
Sometimes it instantly deletes the whole text because Fn (called Alt outside europe) before Del means erase ALL - this happens when you don't know that Fn is on and want to delete a letter - PUFF! the whole dang text is gone (and unlike iPad - no undo ).
It's easily dropped vertically - the dry metal is edge/grip-less or slippery. almost like the Pre but feels "dry".
The screen is good, the touchscreen reacts consitently (unlike Charm and Wildfire/Buzz where touch don't work on the table and on some chargers - works ONLY when they're held) and the angled shaped is nice. The software speed/response is fine, the cam and video quality is good. speaker is sharp though. Volume buttons are impossible to use without looking - can't feel them.
can't find a better android qwerty though WITH arrow keys (though selections made using shift+arrow can ONLY be deleted - not copy pasted...wtf?).
there's a qwerty bar android list here: http://gadgetwit.com
(I too have the symbol-stays-on-screen bug mentioned in the general/First impressions thread but it disappears when I go to another app and back)

Fn will delete the line of text back to column 1, but you are right that the absence of an Undo is extremely annoying! And I agree with the majority of your points.
tried universal root, z4root and gingerbreak - no luck perhaps root via USB then - Guess superOneClick is next up.
guys, any luck on the cha cha with super one click?

Blackberry's are badly built. Theyre unrelyable and to complicated. I spend most of my life appologising to people because theres has broken for the 4th time in 6 months
I'm trying my best to find a way to calibrate the G-sensor of the Nexus S, but failed.
In this mobile phone, i can not find a "sensorcalibutil_yamaha"or "/data/misc/AK8973Prms.txt" or the calibration tools that HTC phones have..
and I tried using GPS Status or a software called Bubble to calibrate...it just works in the software itself but not the system. so still, my doodle jump keeps jumping right when i put the phone horizontal on the desk...
So... Is anybody have some way to solve this problem?
I think there must be a file which have the settings of the G-sensor coordinate but where is it?
or even better, can we find a software to calibrate it?
i have that problem too.
i use tricorder to check. it's a bit tilt to the left, which makes doodle jump keeps jumping right.
it be great if there's a way to calibrate the g-senor.
sorry for jumping this thread, anyone found a solution? (using ICS)
it's really annoying that my nexus steer left like 10 degrees when it's straight, hard to play temple run / mega jump like that.

It doesn't help the G sensor, your solution may help a compass issue
I`ve been looking everywhere to find a solution but didn`t found one. To be more precise, both sensors (proximity and light) work occasionally,sometimes they work just fine and then suddenly stop working.
I`m using Andro Sensor to check the sensors and there is "Waiting for event" message for both light and proximity.
I don`t think it`s a hardware problem as they were working when bought the phone and they still work occasionally.My phone is rooted and i`m on latest ARHD now with Sebastian kernel.Maybe someone knows how to fix this as it`s very annoying (automatic brightness and capacitive backlights not working because of this as well).Any help would be much appreciated.
You mean like this?
Lol same issue here.
I contacted htc and they wanted me to send it in for repair. But they said it may be due to water dammage. (I never gave my phone near water and the sticker under the battery is still white.) The rep told ne if it is due to water damage it may be expensive to fix. What I'm gonna do is just pay the 130$ deductable to my insurance company and get a new one.

do your capacitive buttons light up as well ? or is it just the sensor thats the problem ??.

They light up only if i`m forcing them with LeeDroid Twekas mod or when the sensors work again.But when the light sensor is not working they will light.

...will NOT light.sorry
Yep why i ask is because it happens to me also exact same problem, i had a temp work around with ICS 3.6 roms with putting tinfoil or something under the shell and covering the sensor, this would present a low light signal to the sensor and some how enable the capacitive lights but still ****s the sensor and or proximity.
Sometimes it will work depending on the boot, it will either work on boot or not never changes while the rom is running.
Now i must try the leedroid tweeks as i can stand my capacitives not working but yes must be a widespread problem if people are having the exact same issues.
found it, bummer its for 3.6 only.
I have the exact same problem as you described, but since 6 months. It really sucks to pay 430€ (~650$) for a device which isn't working as it should. I don't want to send my phone to repair and wait for it 3 weeks. So I have to cope with it.
That's a plus for the S3 to be my next phone.

It`s very frustrating as it`s an known HTC issues and no one can do anything about it.To send it back and wait forever it`s ridiculous.
Thats why i refrained from sending it myself, i need a phone cant expect us to wait and wait for a repair. Should be a straight swap for being a known issue.

Sadly this is my thought as well. And I was a huge htc fan. I used to boast how good the phone is / was but now it starting to feel more of a burden.
My issues
1. Proximity / ambient light sensor doesn't work properly anymore.
2. Usb stopped working? Wtf still charges though
3. Design flaws. (Ok this used to be one of the phones biggest assets. But going through 3 back covers because the stupid volume buttons keep breaking is crazy.)
4. The tinny sound when you are recording video.
5. The blutooth stacks don't allow connection with the ps3 or Wii controllers.
Hate to turn this into a rant.... :banghead:

Why I'm going with the insurance way rather than htc. Those MFs told me that I have to pay for both shipping and recieving, plus is if there is any sort of damage outside of what they cover its gonna cost me starting around 85$ or something like that. Than it may take a few days to get it back to me.
While I can just pay like $140 and have a new phone in like 2 days.

what are you claiming it as, accidental damage etc ??. With my insurance company i would have to get proof of the damage via a qualified technician and get a certificate from him.

My insurance company is asurion and I filed my claim online. I think I clicked malfunction or accidental damage don't really remember did the filing a couple days ago. All I have to do is send that to old phone, and they will send me a new one.

Same problem here to,
Tried everything,and yes it depends on boot.
Try to do factory reset in TOTAL dark.
It worked till next boot...
I think i maybe got it after Sebastian kernel ?
Still puzzeling....
And same problem here with ARHD 6.5.3 XE...
Maybe later I'll try super wipe and different kernel (I got sebastian's currently).
EDIT:
In AndroSensor I got "waiting for event" instead of "failed to start". Someone knows what it means?

Hi, I am new on forum and on Nexus S, but not with ROMS
I love this phone, but since I bought it, I have a strange bug. Maybe it appears because I did with "rom toolbox pro" a full backup of apps on another smartphone (acer liquid metal) and now I restored all apps on Nexus S.
this is the bug: sometimes (normally when I'm writing a message, or simply using virtual keyboard) it appear the "open as..." window, where I can choose to open it with gosms pro or gmail.
I tried to open it with both programs, and after this window, on gosmspro the text message is about the bug report, with 2 attached files: 1 .txt files with description of bug (but it's too long, approx 4 mb of .txt!!!) and 2 a .jpg screenshot of bug (but in the image there is simply the lock screen).
In gmail it appears the same thing. But I can't understand where is the problem or where the bug starts, so I ask you how can I find it.
I tried also to uninstall some apps (like gosms, also deleting app data) but without progresses.
If you like it, i can post the screenshot of the bug, or also the .txt or .jpg files in the bug report.
Now I'm using the CM10 , and I had the same problem with Skank ROM.
Please help me, I never found an answer on the web to this tiresome bug. : /
thanks guys and thanks for your BIG work !!!

Absolutely. But from experience, it's a good idea to wipe clean once in a while. I usually do it every few months to keep the problems at bay. Sometimes you'll spend more time trying to fix an issue than it would take you to restart from anew, and even if you end up fixing it that's only an issue you see. You aren't fixing udnerlying problems...
So does anything actually crash or is it just this that pops up?

uhm, at the beginning i had 5-6 crashes, but I'm sure that it was linked to the overclock. In fact, when I put 1200 mhz, I was a noobie in that (because I came from smartphones that NEED overclock to have a fluid and rapid system), and when I reset it to 1000 mhz, it never did me another crash no more.
So yes, the bug is only this popup. I know isn't a little bug, but with the passing of times, it appears more and more times, so it's tiresome.
ah, few seconds before bug, the phone vibrate 3 times (everytime).
I'm using a plastic gel cover.
ah, another little thing that I hear yesterday for the first time: the front speaker at the top, sometimes (also 2-3 times in a minute, don' t know if it do that always, as in lock screen) do a very low sound repeated for few seconds (it's hard to explain this, it seems a radio frequency as "toctoctoctoctoc")...sorry for this onomatopea but maybe its' helpful for understanding what I mean
...any news from the .txt that I sent you ?
Take off your case for a whole day, don't put it on your phone. Tell me if it still happens during that day.
I can nearly assure you, up to 99.9%, that your problem will stop.
I know it sounds crazy, but do it. You can thank me later.

my last smartphone had similar problem (microphone of acer liquid metal won' t work well with case)!!
but now the case seems to create a worst problem!! I can' t believe that this simple accessories can made theese problems ( considering that technology should give us better phones in every kind of way)....
NEWS : today, for the first time, telephone crashes 2 times: it never happens since my last OC (2 weeks ago) !!
I hope that case was problem for bug and also crashes!!

Tell me if the bugmailer problem seems fixed after using it for a while.
Edit: I don't believe the crashes are related however. I'll tell you the magic behind the bug mailer after you tell me if it's fixed!
ok I'll say you in 2 days!
however, for crashes, I think I did a bull**** using a bad app called "cache fixer", because I used to free memory with my old phone.
If I see crashes again, I' ll wipe the phone.
OMG!!! you seems to have reason (fortunately) !!!
I'm nearly sure to have fixed this, now I wanna know the magic trick!!
How a technologic phone can be shocked by a simple plastic gel ?!?!
I guess that answer it's or the semi-pressure of volume/on-off buttons, or somethink linked to the temprature (with cover it increases). Right ?
Other things: for now, no other crashes, but the strange silent rumor on the top of the headspeaker sometimes appears. Can the phone record this low sound on the top? So you ' ll understand what I mean...
for now... thanks!!

Your phone case presses on VOL +, VOL - and POWER all at the same time. That's a developper feature.
You can "disable" it by turning off USB debug but I highly suggest either fixing your case if possible or getting another one that doesn't press those buttons for no reason.
Edit: I have no idea what you are talking about for the other issue though.

do you have any idea for fixing cover, without cut it??
Galaxy S7 screen not responding to touch sometimes. The bottom portion of the display is affected. I tried 6 different S7 and all of them have the same problem, test yours like this and tap gently not hard, when you press hard you press 3mm on the screen and that is a lot ! The problem is worse when the phone is cold (20C) This is annoying because the place where its not working is the same place where the space bar is and the "." Does anyone else have that exact problem? Here is a video of the problem : https://youtu.be/OW_FQBMcuOE
IMPORTANT !
Install Phone INFO app (green adroid logo) see when the phone is manufactured, mine is 2016.02.18 ! maybe the first batch of the production have that problem! We might be on something here!!!
There are two threads already open with this situation.
I have this problem at the same location you demonstrate. The right side has this problem too. From bottom right to the top 1 cm and 2 or 3 cm up you are going to reproduce the same thing.
I get used to it but it is very annoying. Never liked Samsung because of this things. They use low quality material all around. I will never trust them.

Just received H9 update and the release notes did not mention anything about LCD, touch screen or anything related to it.
But since the update, I've been trying to reproduce the problem trying to find the blind spots and for my surprise I did not find anything. The touchscreen is perfect and I can feel it is more sensitive.
Before the update I could reproduce the problem very easy! Now it is perfect.
The update here in my region (Brazil - ZTO) was about 170MB. Samsung Cloud was introduced.
Wow, mine was manufactured 2 weeks ago (2016.08.16) and I've owned it since about the 24th too, so it was 8 days old when I received it
