Reset Call Duration Timer - MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General

Hi,
I have an XDA2, is it possible to rest the call timers at all?
I have recieved a "new" XDA2 from eBay, but the current incoming call duraction is 1193046hr. 27 minutes :shock: while outgoing is 0.

That is funny... A quick math reveals your phone has been used continuously for more than 136 years...
But to offer some help, go to the Phone application, go to Call history, and then on the command bar, select the menu Tools -> Call Timers
-edit- and press the Reset button

Once you have received and made your first call the timers will begin to register correctly.

Cheers for the quick replies, but i have a little problem, i cannot find what you are talking about!
Could you give me some simple steps if possible, Start> Settings> etc etc
Cheers,
Craig.

Oh,
I have found what you were on about, but the timers there were at 0. I hit the reset button anyway and made a quick call, but i still have that massive call duration in the "device information".
Craig.

I too had the same HUGE call duration figure but, as cruisin-thru said, once I made & received a couple of calls, the timers reset themselves & now show the correct usage times.
Guess its just an issue with the phone software, as I purchased mine from O2 as an upgrade.

Ah, i have just recieved a phone call, and the timers have reset.
Very strange.

Reset call timers

Hey,
Please could someone tell me how to reset the call timers under start -> settings -> device information -> call information
You cant as far as I know.
It is the same things as car travel meter

If i look under there on my XDA II, it says 'Unknown' for both outgoing and incoming. :?
How odd :!:
it says 'Unknown', coz your phone is OFF, do activate ......!!!!.

That's the odd thing....my phone isn't off. I've checked it straight after making and recieving a call. I think I must have done something to disable it accidentally.
try rebooting your device, after the reboot it should show the call durations

Speed It Up

How can I somehow speed up my XDA? I miss so many phone calls, because it has to "boot up" when someone calls and by that time it's 3 rings in, so by the time I get it out of my pocket and am able to answer by pushing the "Answer" button several times, I'm lucky to get it. I had the XDA IIs, and it was fine. Yet this is just a joke.
Any apps out there available or advice?
Thanks
just curious.... I had a similar problem. I recently unassinged unique ring tones from contacts. and made sure to copy the ring I wanted to use into the main memory(i.e. not on sd card) and this seems to have fixed the issue for me. I have even reassigned the unique ring tones.

You can adjust the ringing time :-
1) Go to the Phone app
2) Go to the Menu and select Options
2) Go to the Services tab
3) Highlight "Call Forwarding" then click "Get Settings..."
4) Adjust the time in the "Forward after:" box to 30 seconds
I now get six audible rings with old_phone
simply upgrade to the latest radio stack, seems to have fixed alot of peoples universal with the same problem, including my own universal
mine always rings on the second ring and havent upgraded.
but i have changed the forward to 30 seconds by calling my operator and having it changed, 1 month later, I found the manual change capability.
i would be looking to configurations and settings on the individual devices and see what is actually running and going on, cause it aint the phone.
Test this File-perhaps it speed up your Telephone.
The Turbo-Modus on my Universal speed up the Telephone too !

Ringer Length

So I upgrade from an 8125 to my 8525, and at one point I found this article in the Wizard forum about how to INCREASE the time before voicemail picked up. I was able to set it to something like 40 seconds. My 8525 seems to send my calls to voicemail after like 20...I've searched everything I can think of and it's not bringing me the result i want. Does anyone know how to do this. Thanks!
I asked my provider (orange UK) to lengthen the ring time + they gave me a code to put into the phone.
worked fine, maximum 30secs though
On t-mobile uk, I think that these settings are in the voicemail settings, ie you ring the voicemail number and it gives you a list of options.
I actually called Cingular and they said they can increase the ringer length on their end, but only to a maximum of 30 seconds. Kinda stinks, I would love a 40 second ringer. Oh well.
Cingular, several ways to change
1) In phone, under options, setting, call forwarding, there is an option to forward calls only if no answer, and you can set it to 5 to 30 seconds (in 5 second intervals).
2) Setup speed dials for changing.
*61*xxxxxxxxxx**yy#, where xxxxxxxxxx is the phone number that showed up in the forward if no answer above, and yy is the number of seconds to wring before going to voice mail.
I use method 2. When going into a meeting, I have a speed dial for going to vm after 10 seconds so that it does not vibrate and keep someone waiting for the phone to answer, when I won't be answering. When out, I speed dial to reset to 30 seconds.
I love stumbling across a post that answers a question I forgot about!
Nice!

Nice one!
I kept missing calls by the time I'd sruggled to get the thing out my pocket, then out its pouch!!
Was originally set to 15 secs, used method 1, now i have twice as long to answer!

Call History / Call Register not reflecting latest calls

Interesting problem this.
I'd reached 1999 calls held in the call timers (1999 calls, 5122 min, 32 sec) and my call register showed calls from the last two or three months.
I noticed after a while that new incoming/outgoing calls weren't being registered in the Call Register, so I tried deleting call history items older than 1 month, and resetting my Recent Calls timer.
Nothing's made a difference, however, and my Call Register has not been saving any records of calls made or received for four days now.
Anybody have an idea why this isn't working? Is there a hard limit on the All Calls timer, which is still showing 1,999 calls @ 5122 mins and 32 seconds Neither figure updates when I make or receive a new call, the only figure which updates is the Recent Calls timer - the actual calls list doesn't update, it's still showing the last call as one I made four days ago.
Any help or advice appreciated, I did some searches but nothing turned up that seemed related to my issue.

Diverted calls indicator - Help please..

Thanks for taking the time to read this..
Just wondering if there is anything I can run or enable on my ORANGE branded Touch 3G to show that I have calls diverted..
I very often have to divert to my works phone during the day time and sometimes forget if it is still diverted.. My other phone (works Sony Ericsson) has a symbol which stays at the top of the screen when divert is set..
Any idea's... Thoughts etc...
Thanks Phil
not sure if i got u right, as i am not sure if you and i do understand the word diverted the same way...
but if you ask for an indicator for missed calls, you can adjust the length of blinking for missed calls (start - settings - "sounds and announcements" (i got the german rom).
there you go to announcements and then you change the blinking setting for missed calls to "allways" or "not ending".
I set my phone to send any incoming calls to my other phone (divert).
Actually the network does the diverting but on my other phone (SE K850i) a symbol is shown on the screen. All my previous makes off phone have done similar and I could do with the HTC doing the same..
Thanks....
Phil
If you mean this function or something similar to this:
"Ignore all: This mode rejects all incoming calls and goes straight to voicemail. The phone will stay on only for data access. The rejected calls will be added to the call history log and the standard missed call notification will appear on the Today screen."
This is only possible with additional software (afaik), for example this one:
http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/pocketpc-software/phonesuite/
(Free 14 days trial). I use it an it is very good, imo.
It ist not possible to see an provider-call diversion (= forwarding) on your handset (afaik).
The last line actually answers my question totally...
Thanks again for replying.. Phil
