> What does your K750/W800 lifetime counter read?
Bookmark topic
Mine says something a bit odd - it has a small box symbol, the number 486, another box, then a 10:27! So it says []486[]:10:27
It's a K750i that's been flashed to a W800, the flashing process has probably done something to the counter!

Hey guys,
sorry for all the confusion i have caused here.
The 'lifetime counter' was a term used by Nokia to state how many hours and minutes of call time the phone had been used for since it was new. On Nokia phones it's accessible from the regular menu. It's a non-resettable counter.
SE only allow access to this counter from the service menu.
I use my phone a lot, about 5 hours per day most weekdays, so i always check it, because sooner or later, the phone will stop working or it's RF performance will degrade due to lots of use.
So, i just wanted to see if people's phones were lasting hundreds of hours, or thousands etc.
I never get past 400 hours before the next model comes out, and i just have to have it.
hope this clears up the confusion.
thanks

The counter in the service menu is more accurate as that through the phone's normal interface, as it cannot be reset.

Does a master reset put it back to 0 ?

I don't believe so. And I think even updating the firmware cannot reset the counter in the service menu. There was a discussion about this a while back but I can't recall where - sorry! I just know that this was the conclusion!

Doing an update of the firmware or a Master Reset does not change the total call time displayed. Although, there are a handful of

users that say their phones Total Call Timer has been zeroed after an

service center updated the firmware. We have yet to see any kind of proof or at least a before and after picture of the phone.
