Apparently you log into the Samsung site to find out:

My 2nd Nexus was born on 11/20/11.

Dial *#*#786#*#* then look down under reconditioned status to see if yours is new or reconditioned. My replacement handset says new.

Interesting. I do not have a reconditioned phone, but I'm even more curious about the Total Call Time. It shows 383 hours and 24 minutes. There is NO way I have talked that much on this phone. I would guess that is either time since phone was last activated or total talk time on Verizon for all phones I have owned...

rofl! umm that is hilarious

Not for me...it's a minor tragedy

 

[CaptainRon]

I got good news about dad and his extra tests and some other things that I am not gonna talk about publicly

I'm glad to hear you have good news about your dad.

wow, never knew about this, thanks! 315 calls, avg of 17.1 calls/day, and no dropped audio. I wish I had checked this before I returned my prior one.

Mine says "reconditioned status"
Status: NO
00/00/0000/00:00:00

I'm assuming that means it's new? Does your's say "new"?

Mine says the same under reconditioned. If it had been, it should would also have a date.

I don't know, my stats match the call log. Hmmm

Nothing happens when I dial *#*#786#*#*-- after the last star it just deletes the text from the Call Log text area and nothing happens.

Strange.

ME too, is that a GSM thing maybe

pretty sure it's a rom thing. it works on mine with stock VZ builds, but does not work on Codename.

Doesn't work on gummy either. Silly stock people.

I am verizon, unlocked, running 4.04 and it works.

Stupid me running liquid.

Outgoing calls, 69, for 2h27m, for an average outgoing call time of 2 min, 16.5 seconds.

Incoming calls, 65, for 180h50m with an average incoming call time of 166.58 minutes?! um, no.

Something is definitely wrong with my incoming call time.

I just did a neti-pot ahhh I love them!

Anti that is odd maybe clear your call log?

Do the number of calls look right?

Neti-pot is amazing. Made my life a lot easier last weekend with this head cold thing going around.

Did it twice a day and had me feeling much better than I could have been without it.

 

[BabyBlues]

I give you guys a lot of credit. I can't do the neti pot. Tried twice. Ends badly.

I prefer the squeeze bottle to the pot, but to each his own

Molto bene! Mia nonna

Amen! I have sinusitis (my trade and hereditary) and it's been a blessing.

Does it go down your throat and make you gag? It does me, but I still love them

What is this? Like a nasal pump/spray thingy? If so, I use that too. My nasals are super clean!

Nyxie had a spasm tonight. She decided to have a random reboot while I was in the middle of a phone call.

Wow, that must be some really dirty talk LOL

Good morning all.

Good news for me this morning -- my app got approved in the Blackberry App World! Hopefully getting my Playbook sometime in the next week or two. Just waiting for Admob to support/serve Blackberry ads so that I can release a free version. Buy WWPP Calculator and Tracker Pro - Download WWPP Calculator and Tracker Pro - Buy Apps from BlackBerry App World

Also broke 130,000 total downloads of the Android version, check it out here if interested -- and to think this started of as a favor for my Dad's girlfriend. https://market.android.com/details?id=com.mattdonders.android.wppcalculator

Congrats!

Dial *#*#786#*#* then look down under reconditioned status to see if yours is new or reconditioned. My replacement handset says new.

I just did this and under reconditioned status it said NO so not sure what that means. I got a "like new certified" replacement last week. Thanks for the tip!

Idk about you guys but it has been an amazing day for me... Got a lot of good news

Do tell!

I have noted some banding on some of my screens, almost like blinds. Now, I am not 100% sure this is not just a pattern or if its actually the screen, its quick. Not a HUGE issue. My call quality also sucked on my last outgoing call earlier today too. But, my radio does seem to be a bit better then my previous nexus. I can live with the banding, the call quality could be on the other end. Its not horrible, I don't talk on the phone much, but when I do, I want a decent call. Data and texting is my bread and butter, however.

Guys, be REALLY careful about using the Neti Pots. There have been reports of deaths from using tap water. Please use distilled or boiled/filtered water.

Scared the crap out of my wife, who swears by the neti.
