Typing this deletes all contacts in my phone, the famous Openmoko Freerunner, running SHR-Testing
for i in `seq 1 1000`; do opimd-cli c delete $i; done
How do you do it in your phone?

Isn’t there an app for this? (for the small price of only 9.99$ you can now delete all your contacts with a single shake of your IPhone)
My phone (simvalley RX-80 V.3) can. Even without me knowing it ! The option exists that deletes all contacts at once on your SIM card. I still haven’t figured why, as this phone doesn’t allow saving your data to some other place.
I did erase all the stuff with my own bottom, while the phone was in my rear pocket. I think I was riding my bike.
Not fun to recover the contacts from other places (Didn’t have any backup: it is only a phone to me, and will stay so for a long time).
- Why the hell would I want to do that?
- I can format the whole phone and remove therefore every non-sim contact. *#7370# in my Nokias , somewhere under settings on Android. Can’t really think of a reason wanting to do remove my contacts and not the rest of my data otherwise.
- Probably I can rm -rf contacts.db somewhere on Android. If not set to synchronize contacts, that would nuke it.
- How the hell would I type that on my touchscreen?
I go to my contacts, open “right-click” menu and “select all” and then click delete. I bet that is faster than try to type that with touchscreen ;)
Oh, phone is Nokia N70
Ivan: Indeed, depending on the strength, each shake deletes 1, 10 or 100 contacts :)
Marc: Autch! You must have broken the container where the numbers are stored and they’re all now in your rear pocket..
Jisakiel: Sometimes you need to do things like this – and a nice way to type in that is on-screen keyboard:

Juha: Not bad :)
