How to solve INVALID SELECTION Error on Nokia?

My solution is to OVERWRITE the call logs so this will make phone to delete problematic contacts automatically!

We know that the Nokia phones store 20 Called Contacts/Numbers history, 20 Missing Calls, 20 Received Calls. So what we have to do:

#1. To remove missing calls and received from Call History:

To do this you will have to add 20 Contacts and then receive calls from every contact.

So, how to do this without having 20 mobile phones? It is easy. You will had to have second phone able to make phone calls and then follow these steps:

• Create a new contact with name 1 and phone number is the number of the second phone.
• From the second phone you have to make two calls to troublesome phone: First call will be answered and second call will be as a missing call.

Do this 20 times, incrementing Contact name and keep the same phone number. Finally you will have 20 contacts with names (1,2,3,4…20) and the same phone number, number of second phone.

Now  all missing calls and received calls blocked should go away from history and will be replaced with 1,2,3…20 logs.

#2. To remove Called Numbers/Contacts History:

This step is little bit easy. You will have to call 20 random numbers (these numbers mustn’t be correct phone numbers). For example make 20 calls to numbers like 123, 1234, 3234,665665,45326,124567,… . You will not have to wait for these numbers to respond, just initiate the call and then hang up the phone.

Now on history list will appear just the numbers called, numbers which can be deleted.

Now you can go to Calls Logs and delete all logs and now all lists are empty.
