Date your phone was Manufactured Vs. Problems with phone

Manufactured Date : 5/24/2010
Problems : Unresponsive Screen when on most soft surfaces and car dock. Verizon and HTC told me was grounding issue and would be fixed via OTA update sometime soon.

Phone is being replaced anyways, New one be here soon, and will post about that handset...


P.S:

If you have call confirm installed, you have to uninstall it to view this menu, then you can re-install it after checking...

no need to uninstall just go to preferences and disable it(open the app)

my counter is 426 .. only 17 days and some change if its by hours.. doubt thats right..

maybe total voice minutes used.. sounds about right for me..


Good point BUT voice minutes is the "Life Timer" mine is 8:44:41 Could be total number of calls as DataSchmuck says but I swear I havent used my phone that much. I never make calls, mostly text and email.

My device is awake average 8 hours a day on weekdays and only 2-3 hours a day on weekends. Activated my phone on 5/3 that makes it about 57 days and totalling 41 weekdays and 16 weekend days. Thats an estimated 376 hours of "Awake Time" since I got the device and right in line with my Life Counter reading of 372.

Alas none of that matters because I just made 3 more calls and my life counter went up by 3 so it looks like the Schmuck was right ;)

Manufacture Date- 4/11/2010

Number of Problems- 0 *Knocks on serious wood- no warranty on this phone- bought/traded with someone online*

Life Counter- 399 (Yes, I talk on my phone a lot!)

I'm SERIOUSLY thinking about returning my BRICKED Evo and keeping this phone, even though it doesn't have any warranty or insurance on it.

I would assume that since mine looks like an earlier build, that I have the AMOLED screen- hopefully.

If I keep the Evo, I'll be selling the Incredible.

Build date 4/8/2010

Problems:

Voices intermittently drop out during call, not a lot, also happened with my dumb phone, turn my head and the problem goes away.

Camera would freeze after taking pic, did a battery pull, problem goes away (I think it had to do either with the buggy Incredible flashlight app or one of my barcode scanner apps).

About the warranty date, mine says 4/15/2010 so I thought that that was the date it passed QC and was ready to ship. But after reading Grandmaster's post I don't know what to think.:thinking:
