8/29 build date, all version numbers are the same. Refurb says NO but it clearly is, has 283 calls on the timer and it looks like is has someone's teeth marks around the charge port. Has a nice big scratch across the screen too. I'm sending this POS back and keeping my original phone. I'd rather be stuck in 1x that have this POS.

Talk about adding insult to injury! Was that through Asurion?

No, straight from VZW. They cover the first year of warranty.

Of course my original phone has been perfect since I flashed back to stock 6.1. 3G has been stronger than ever. As soon as I send this refurb back I know I'll get stuck in 1X again. Either way, I'd rather wait longer to see if they do in fact make a hardware change that we can tell about. I have until next September to ask for anothe refurb so we'll see.

Right now I'm just buying a new one every 20-30 days and returning the first one, instead of exchanging. I don't want to end up getting any more refurbs.

I would call and complain, or take it to a local store and show them what you received as a replacement.

And they keep letting you do that? I'm surprised unless you're paying full retail.

So, people should post their manufacturer date and if theyre havings problems and how severe.
Mine is 10/26 and I get stuck in 1X but very rare, if it does go into 1X it usually comes back to 3g in less than a minute. Or a soft reset does the trick.

Yes & yes. Which makes me all the more adamant about not getting a lemon.

This and ROM haven't changed.

Previous TP2 that was also a repl:
Build date: 2-Oct-2009
Hardware version: 0004

I guess I will have to run it and see if this problem has been cured. I just don't see what has changed.

Was just wondering if you have had a chance to test your new phone to see if it still is getting stuck in 1x? I get my new one tomorrow.

what do you have to do to get it stuck in 1x?

Activated a TP2 a few hours ago with a build date of 11-3-2010. After activating it was in 3G. A little while later, after a soft reset, it was stuck in 1x for about a half hour and then went back to 3G. I'm skeptical to say the least.
