Came to zero timers at start of my billing month and ... uurgh ... can't find them :confused:

I believe it should be on the Call History screen - Menu - Call Timers but I only have two options in here (filter & delete all).

Did O2 knobble this option or am I doing something wrong?

Quite right too - O2 have done something to lose that in the rom implementation AFTER writing the user guide!
However:
Start | Settings | System | Device Information | Call Duration : shows totals incoming and outgoing, no option to zero I'm afraid.

Thanks very much for this. It's a stoopid thing for O2 to do but at least now I can note down the number at the start of each billing month!

Hi guys, your right O2 really didn't think call timers through did they, however there is a really good FREE tool that does this for you, its called "BatteryStatus Today Plugin" downloadable at

http://www.chi-tai.info/cs_BatteryStatus_XDA_Neo_WM5_iM_cs.htm

Its got other cool functions including overclocking if you want to.

I use it for the call timer and sms count function, works really well!

Give it a try, as for the overclocking function thats at your own risk, my xda orbit works quite happily at 247Mhz with no noticeable change to battery life!(even 260, but 1 prog I use doesn't work well so 247 for me)

Ignore XDA info in sig, sold that last week - must amend my profile!

OMG - thanks so much :D

Just installed it and set as required. Not only call timers but an auto clear function at billing month end which is awesome as I usually forget :confused:

I've now disabled the Magic Button battery status in favour of the percentage scale which I prefer. That said Magic Button's little bar was pretty neat.

I think the unit struggles a little with TT6 so I am hoping I can use the 247 O/C in the car to improve response (on external power then also).

Cheers everybody.

Excellent!
The only thing I liked about the early O2 XDA2i rom was the Today battery plugin, which this plugin mimics.

I use 273mhz clock speed, no probs.TT6 is spot on.

Really? - I haven't experimented yet.

Have discovered the auto locking which is brill. I used to have to lock before power off to avoid accidental pocket dialled calls but now it just does itself!

Surely the best plug in going! Will definitely paypal the guy a few spondoolies.

Edit: just did
