How can you tell if it is in FACT replaced properly?

[spasell]

I keep reading on forums about stickers on the Box and writing on the Box that tells the difference. Yes I have the green icon battery but that's just a software update.

SOOO

Can someone tell me where I should be checking on the Box? Or how I can look in the software and see the build date or version number? It's driving me nuts.

And I'm skeptical that it's a BRAND new device.

My replacement actually came with a screen protector installed on it. Not the plastic wrap that was on the front and back of original. Literally plastic screen protector that I removed because it makes the pen stick on the screen when using it.

What carrier do you have?

My Verizon has a factory clear protector on the front and that clear sheet on the back with the little pull tab on the side.

Is this what you are talking about?

Tmobile here. My store ran a code in the phone and checked that way.

I'm confused.

I'm confused.

Build date is software. Manufacture is hardware. The product code is a longer version of the model number. Mine is SM-N930VZBAVZW. The K in yours and B in mine correspond to the color of the model.

My first phone came with a screen protector on it. So don't worry about it. It's normal. I took it off though cause it was annoying. Still waiting for my replacement.

My T-mobile phone had a screen protector as well, but had printing on it. So, not something that's supposed to stay on.

My verizon one had the factory protector with a pull tab but no writing.

You can check the IMEI number on Samsung website. Box should have a little black box on it where all the barcodes are. Green battery is only for good replacement phones. (I'm on AT&T)
