Is there a way to reset talk time?

[Jonny702]

I have a Lumia 830 and I would like to find a way to reset the total talk time. Sort of like rolling back the odometer. Is this possible through any means including dev tools?

Maybe a hard reset do the trick?

Both hard reset and the Lumia/Windows Software Recovery will not reset the total take time in network+
Not sure if flashing the ROM will reset the take time. ( I hope that this also does not works because then this could be misused.)

Are you trying to sell a used device as new? That's really the only reason to ever worry about doing this.

Maybe if you stick a tiny bar of metal into the headphone jack and use a power drill to spin rapidly it in a counter-clockwise rotation it'll spin the timer back to zero.

Rolling back the odometer of a car is fraud by the way. (and illegal)

I wouldn't do it to a car, nor would I ever try to sell a used phone as new, I'm not a D-bag. With that said Carriers where I live allow you to return/exchange a phone if you talked less than 15 minutes, it is a little ridiculous really since you can't even tell if you like a phone with 15 minutes. I'm at 30. Anyway, I just wanted to see if there was a way. I might just bring it back and say the phone must have already had time on it when I got it. Thanks
