1. how to delete all contacts in one go? as I am going to pass my XDA orbit to someone else after removing all my personal contact. But i want to keep all the installed program. therefore, i want to know is there any way without hard reset?

2. how to reset call duration statistic each month? as i want to keep track of my bill.

thx in advance!

1) Rename pim.vol and then soft reset. then delete the renamed pim.vol..unless your contacts are on sim.

2) not sure there is a way to reset call duration with native app. Some third party apps, track specific time frames..but you do know that the call duration times will not match your bill, right? Bills usually round up for each call.. Some companies round up to the next minute, some to next 30 second or 15 second mark..so it really won't match anyway

thanks eagle,
i will try yr first solution. as for the second issue, i am getting a package rate for 1000 minutes. that is the reason i want to have a rough idea how many allowance is left before getting charged for excess usage.

You didn't mention which provider your using, but most provider's have an online lookup for your current and past usage which may be more relevant.

i do check online billing. but as handy check, i still want to figure out how to reset that call duration monthly. :-)

BTW, yr first tip works well. thx again.

This one was dealt with qiute a few times in the Uni forum. Basically, the answer is (a) it's very difficult and (b) noone should show you how to do it. Although you want it for legitimate purposes, most people don't (i.e. passing a used phone off as new).

The simple answer is to take a note of the stats every month or check online if your provider allows it.
