I just typed in ##778#

and here are my questions:

1. What does life counter mean?? It says 3 on mine.

2. I just bought the phone 2 days ago and it says the manufacturer's date is 11/30. What is yours?

3. What software version and firmware version do you have??
I have 1.21.651.3, 1.96.00WF

4. What TFLO3d do you have??
2.1.38416.1

thanks in advance...

Here are the things i have found.. I am not sure they are issues.

1. My screen dims in and out... is this normal??
2. Volume seems to get louder from the first time i click the button.. like i am dialing and the first number i push is soft and then from then on it gets louder.. is this normal??
3. When i am using the stylus it feels like the plastic film moves down and touches the glass.. is this normal??
4. The volume when i call seems soft... is this normal??
5. What is or was the first thing i should do when i got this phone and how do i do it??

Thanks.

CHEERS!!

This is the number of calls you have made from the device

This will vary with the ROM that is installed to your device

Uncheck the auto adjust backlight (start-settings-system-power-backlight)

Your screen dimming is probably the light sensor auto adjusting the backlight there is a setting for that

Start -> Settings -> All Settings -> Power -> Backlight

As for the screen pressing down, you have a resistive touch screen on the TP2 so the 2 layers actually make contact to register the touch.

Hope that answers some of your questions.

yes, that's normal. can't really tell you why they incorporate that feature, but it's been there on every tp2 i've seen/used

thank u sir, yea i have the stock rom so maybe that is why i am 2.1.

some guys just said the volume issue was typical on all phones...

so when you dial a number, doesnt your first number you dial is soft and then it gets louder??>??
