Restore carries over old usage data

I purchased a new iPhone (3G) and when I synch the first time it asked if I want to restore from an old iPhone. I did and it took the old usage data include the life timer. Now my iPhone claims to have 9 hours of usage when it was just used for 1 min. Anything I can do now or am I screwed?

Does the usage value have any impact for you?

Well, it does if I want to resell it one day or even return it (Rogers allows you to do so as long as the usage is less than 30 mins)

I doubt it will help, but I'm going to perform a restore and set it like a new iPhone this time. This is what I should have done in the first place. Plus the version I have is 2.0 (5A345) and I heard that a minor release (5A347) was released and offers some slight bug fixes.

Doesn't hurt to try

The only thing you can do is do a restore as a new phone, not from your old one. Don't think there's any other way to reset that lifetime timer...

Yeah, I restored and told it to set me up as a new phone. The life timer is "0". Yeah!!!

I wonder if this works all the time though... If that is the case, how can we trust the real life timer?
