The keyboard on the ChaCha should illuminate whenever you're in a low-light situation.

You can try to turn it on manually by going to settings ---> language and keyboard. Let me know how it goes...

Hi there!

Does it happen when you're typing the "sym" or 0 key? This error has been documented by other HTC ChaCha users as well.

Definitely looks like a bug. Try updating your phone to the most current version of the software. If it doesn't go away, I'd recommend a hard reset.

Hi Helen!

Go to the Calendar app itself (rather than just the widget) and select Settings > Calendars... then you can choose to un-check the "Facebook" calendar option. Hope that helps!

Hi

I am really pleased with my new Cha Cha and i am slowly but surely getting to know all it's features. However, I have recently made a website and I can successfully get the website on my cha cha but the images are missing. I get the website up on my husband's (somewhat inferior) iphone and the images appear! I have checked settings and the 'show images' box is ticked. Other websites i search on my cha cha have images but not this one site. Any ideas?

I tried to fill in your form about technical details of the phone but it wasn't listed:)

Thanks

What do you mean with: "It doesn't work"? Does simply nothing happen? I had a same problem with an other phone. When I updated the software, it worked. But if it is still not working after it, I would send it back to change the phone.

Yes nothing happen. I try press the end button to end a call but nothing happen. I always end my called by slide down from above the screen and press the red colur phone icon to end the call. My provider say that they won't change a new phone to me but will take to service.

I want to know if this is software problem or the phone problem?
If it is a software problem i can wait for the update. I try to search this problem in the internet but nothing show up.

hi,
I've just bought the chacha for my daughter, she loves it!
Unfortunatly she's used 300mb's of her 500 allowance in ten days. She claims she's not been up or down loading anything except a few apps at home which should have used the house wireless connection.
Does the chacha automatically use wireless rather than 3g?
How can she turn 3g off?
Is the phone always connected to face book?
And can anybody explain the very high useage?
Any help could avert a potential grounding and confiscation situation!!
Thanks
Trevor

Hi Trevor,

Sounds like your daughter's in a bit of a pickle...hope I can help. :grin:

You can teach her to turn the mobile network off. It's quite simple...all you have to do is press at the top bar on the screen and drag down, then un-click Mobile Network. Make sure this is always un-clicked to cut down on the amount of data used.

What might account for the high usage is the fact that ChaCha is always connected to Facebook and Facebook chat, unless you turn off Mobile Network.

To see which apps are sucking up all her data, you can have your install an app like 3G Watchdog or Netcounter

Also, here's the entire user manual for the HTC ChaCha.


Cheers,

steven

Just bought my chacha yesterday and I'm having the same problem. The red button just doesn't end a call. It's irritating for an otherwise very nice phone. Did anyone find out what the real problem is and what is the fix?

Hi T K,

I looked around but couldn't find anyone with this particular problem. I'd recommend trying to update the software and, if that doesn't work, performing a hard reset or bringing it into the shop.

I did a reset to factory default and now it works. Although I have to hold the button down for about 0.5s for it to take effect. I'm happy with my phone now. Thanks.

I had the same problem just like Thomas ans T K,
and holding down the button solution did work. but there are still some problems
like the call button, when I press the button for like 2 seconds, the bluetooth voice dialer box pops up

is this a hardware problem?

Hi Harry,

Mine's the same: hold down the call button - I get the bluetooth voice dialer, and hold down the end button I get the screen chooser (like pressing home button at the home screen). I think that's a feature ;)

Resetting my phone back to factory default and wiping out everything got my end call button to work, so I think it looks like a software thing.

Hi, hope you can help me?

I clicked yes to intergrate my facebook phonebook onto my phone but I now can't delete the contacts imported. I've only had the phone a day, so there's probably an easy solution.

Please help!

Thanks, Nikki

Hi Nikki,

Thanks for your question! Go into "People" and click the menu button at the bottom of the screen. You'll see a number of options. Click on "view," and you'll see a list of accounts that have synced to your People app. Uncheck "Facebook for HTC Sense" and hopefully that'll eliminate all your Facebook contacts from your phonebook!

Hi Steven,

That has definitely made them disappear but has not solved it completely. When I try to add a new contact with the same first name as some one from my facebook list, it automatically jumps back to the facebook list and so is not shown. Is there any way I can permantly delete the facebook contacts?

Thanks, Nikki

Hey iv just bought this phone and so far so good. The only thing that i have noticed and wondered if anyone else has, is sometimes when i double tap the spacebar in messages it doesnt produce the full stop. It only seems to happen on some of my text message threads but after coming from an iphone and using this feature alot it's annoying me being so hit and miss!

Would be great to know if anyone else has experienced this or if I have turned it off some how on some of my message threads.

Thanks :)

Hi,

I have had my ChaCha almost a week now and love it but the problems i have as many i notice have, is the exclamation mark in the corner. It does disappear when i take the battery out but comes back again. I've also done a factory reset which resolved the problem...so i thought but it's back again and i can't get rid of it! Also i have tried to unsync (if that's what you call it) all my facebook contacts but it's just not happening!

Hi. I need help! Got my cha cha a couple of days ago as my upgrade. I can connect to my wifi but can't search anything. Only got google homepage. my wifi works as family and friends use it. I can get online with other people's wifi, but not my own. I'm stumped! My mobile Internet won't work either if the wifi is connected. Have had the handset replaced in case of fault but no different. Contacted network provider and was emailed step by step setting to follow but this doesn't work either. They don't know another answer, just gave me HTC phone number for help, but I can't get through til Tuesday. HELP!!!!

Hi Justine,

So the WiFi isn't working on your HTC Cha Cha. Are you sure you have entered in the password? Does your network have advanced security, perhaps?

I would contact your WiFi carrier and see.

Hi Zooey,

Hm. I'm not sure. But try to make sure you've enabled your phone to connect with WiFi. You can do this by going to the Notification Bar, clicking "Quick Settings" then checking the box by the WiFi symbol. Have you installed any battery-saving apps? Those can mess with WiFi, as well. Also make sure you're not in Airplane mode. If your phone still can't connect to WiFi it could be a hardware defect.

Hi keshya,

just tap your fingure on the icon of the apps on your screen and hold down for half a second. An trashcan icon will appear on the lower right side. Now drag your app icon to the trashcan and that is it.

You just deleted the launcher icon not the app. You can add it back anytime later.

I have an Xperia Play but this is how I can turn off the facebook contacts that don't have a listed telephone number on my phone:

1) Go to contacts
2) Press the Menu button
3) Press the Filter button
4) Turn on the top option "Only show contacts with telephone numbers"
5) Click on the facebook account button on the same page (this should bring up a new drop-down menu)
6) Unclick the "all contacts" option in the facebook account tag
7) Click okay.

Done!
