Did I get a TP2 from the last batch? Built date check

Procter · #1 (**permalink**) 09-06-2011, 01:24 PM

Got a NIB replacement TP2 from Sprint for the infamous rainbow smudge. The previous one was manufactured in Feb 2010, and lasted only 3 months before the smudge showing up (never in any wet environment, never dropped). So I asked for a replacement manufactured as recently as possible, rep said cannot grantee. But I checked the EPST, it was manufactured on July 19, 2011. Hardware version 0004, PRI 2.20_003.

I recalled that on 07/10/11, people in the forum started to notice that TP2 was off Sprint's shelf. Did I get one from last batch?

What's your manufactured date and PRI etc? Dial ##778# to check.

Was trying to figure out if newer manufacture date solve the smudge defects.

Of coz it's NIB. When I checked EPST, how could I miss that huge "refurbish date"? I had several refurb before, not a fan of those.

hmm well I got my TP2 as a replacement for my TP because of battery problems on 5/17/10, it was manufactured 5/4/10 and as of today its still kicking it just like mi abuelas 17yr old Nissan Sentra.

and PS @elesbb sorry I got ur thread closed, I guess u can blame @lnando84 for that, I reported one of his posts thinking a mod would just delete them but that wasn't the case.

Just got my refurb last week:

Manufacture date: 4/27/2010
Refurb date: 7/21/2011

My previous one before this was refurbed September of last year iirc and it came with the oil smudge when I got the phone.
