Deleting recent calls, by selection

i just got an iphone, and am trying to delete recent calls, but the only option i get is to clear the whole log. Any one out there who knows how to delete calls by selection, as oppossed to the whole list ? on my previuos phone, Treo 700p, i was able to select the calls i need to delete, and leave the ones i chose to keep, or even add them to my contacts list, but i cannot seem to figure how to do that with the iphone.
2. another question i have is, can you be able to access your contcats via the keyboard to make calls on phone mode, without having to scroll through the whole contacts list ? if there is a way to access the keyboard directly to type in the name, or first letters of the name your looking for, on phone mode, please let me know.
3. i have not been able to use my iphone directly without it being on speaker, and i have not used the headphones, either. i bought it with its bluetooth earpiece which works well,but how do switch back to the iphone, incase my battary goes low on the earpiece ?
Thank you.

Here's what I know, maybe it will help...
1. Right now clearing recent is an all or nothing proposition. You might use the feedback forum to voice your need for a selective deletion feature.
2. You cannot access contacts via the keyboard, but on the right side of the screen, you can narrow your search by selecting the letter you want to look at.
3. If you are using bluetooth and want to switch back to the handset, an option appears on the touch screen to do so while you are in the phone call.

    Currently there is no way to selectively delete recent calls.
    It's all or nothing.
    Recommend a feature for the iPhone here: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html

  • When will iPhone have a "range option" when deleting recents calls. The current, one call at time or all, options are not practical.

    When will iPhone offer an "range" option when deleting recent calls. The currents options of "one" or "all" are not practical.

    Really Chris? Yes Really!!!
    You've never used Excel? You can delete multiple rows or columns with ease.
    Yahoo mail gives you an option, by checking a box preceeding the messages, to move or cancel selected (range) messages in mass. I use it daily.
    Outlook and Outlook Express both give you the option to cancel a range of messages, highlight the first message, shift key held, highlight the last message, delete.
    I guess I did not consider browsers or games as stored data when I made the comment

  • Deleting Recents calls

    Why isn't it possible to edit the Recents category under the Phone icon just like under Messages icon where you can delete individual text messages or certain texts. Is this something that could be added to new updates. It would just be nice to edit incoming and out going calls just like with the text!

    It is not a feature at this time. It is something that can be added to the iphone through a software update.
    You can also submit feedback on features that would be nice to have to Apple that actually do get read.

    How can I delete the recent calls list in FaceTime of my Mac?

    Hello muchaim,
    After reviewing your post, it sounds like you want to delete the recent call list. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.
    FaceTime for Mac (Yosemite): Make and receive FaceTime calls
    FaceTime keeps a list of the most recent calls you made, received, or declined, with the most recent call at the top. To return a call, click the Video button  or the Audio button . To remove a call, select it and press Delete.
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Have a nice day,
    Mario

  • Selecting Messages or Text Messages Icon takes me to the recent calls screen instead.

    Hi,
    This just started yesterday.
    When I select either Messages or Text Messages icon I am not taken to those apps, Instead I get the recent calls screen.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks

    Try this -
    When you device is POWERED ON, remove the battery for a minute, and then reinsert the battery. This make a reboot to your device which resolves minor issues with the BlackBerry device.

  • How to recover recent calls history deleted by mistake

    does anyone know how to recover recent calls history deleted by mistake on my iphone

    You can only retrieve them if the call history is part of your last backup, then you would just simply restore your phone.   However any changes made to your phone since the last backup will be overwritten.

  • With recent calls , is it possible to save certain calls without saving them to contacts and delete the ones i dont want?

    My question is ,
    with the recent calls is the a way to save certain calls without saving them as contacts, and delete the others that i dont need?    I am a truck driver and i  need only certain calls during the day and if i could delete only the ones that arent needed for the day and keep the others that would make the day run smoother.  Each is different and when the day is finished then i would delete the ones i needed for the day and start all over again.   Is this possible?

    I think you would have to reinstall the keys seeing that if you format the computer all the data is gone. Even though you backed up that data you never know what can happen when you try to reinstall certain apps. Not sure what method you can go by, you should run a diagnostics test to see how you computer is doing internally.
    Goodluck

  • Why can't I delete just 1 recent caller?

    Its been annoying the **** out of me that with all the clever antics that an iPhone can do, a simple task such as deleting 1 'recent caller' is an unavailable option???
    why is that???
    Because of this flaw, i have lost several important phone numbers by accident!...
    It may be a simple option, but it is a valid one at that...please Apple, fix this!...

    No Apple here-just users like you.
