Headset counter and charger counter?

I have used this app on my 2 wifi only tablets however i am unsure if the statistics are correct.

I just bought my tab 4 7 yesterday and it already says headset counter 2 even though. Have not plugged it in once also the charger thing says 7 which i don't think is possible i remember plugging it into my usb port on my computer around 5 times.

Before they send the devices to be sold is itnormal to have headset counter at 2 or something as i imagine they need to check the components before they are sold?

Has anyone else had this when their brand new device says 0 for both headset and charger counter or is it always a number?

I bought this brand new from the biggest electrica company in my country so they definitely sell brand new sealed goods i blame samsung for sending out a refurbished unit as brand new which i have been suspicious of for a while

My other tablet only shows charger counter not headset and cant verify to compare also as they are wifi only i think that's what is flagging it up as refurbished.

Can someone check for me please there brand new device what charger and headset counters they have?

I used the s/n decoder and put in the serial number ad it shows up at manufacturing date as jan 2015 which means the latest firmware would be on there however if it is. Refurb unit samsung would change the serial number and manufacture date accordingly is there anyway for me to tell if the originl manufacture date was before?

In the normal info bit it does not say the manufa ture date as it is a wifi tablet so i ssume does not have an imei number.

This headset counter of 2 makes me think it has been used before nd i assume most ppl who get this app don't get it till after a long while and by then the headset counter is in the 20s they can't tell whereas for me cos i got it brand new i know for certain i haven't put the headset in. Is it possible during manufa ture they had to test the headset and hence why the counter is not 0?

Is it possible that samsung may be resending reaealing returned or refurb units as brand new putting a new serial number on the devices knowing 99% of customers wont check or have the capabilities to check if it is refurbed?

A returned unit returned after a day or so may have a charge counter of 1-2 or evem after couple days so of that info can't be changed have I got a unit which has been refurbed?

I don't trust samsung anymore they must be losing money on returned tablets phones so wouldn't surprise me if they send out reconditioned returned tablets which have been returned less than a week of being sold as brand new with the customer none the wiser.

Why would 2 be acceptable? If everyonr on here mainly have zero..would random manufacturing tests on certain units be the reason?

It would take them too long to test evrery single one so random spot checks make senses.

I have same issue mine says 2 for both charge and headset on my tablet I bought yesterday.

Im suspicious because if it was new it would be zero..if it was returned and tested it might be 2 as they need to test all the different things to make sure it cam be resent out. Unless of course it is a random spot check. The app doesn't tell me the nanufafture date when I open it buut I can see jan 2015 when I put in my setial number. But because I have nothing to cknpare it to I can't tell it's original manufacturer date only the serial date which is ehat happens when a unit has been returned or refurbished.

It seems fishy that there is 2 counts for both charge and headset meaning it could be returned

Or refurbed but returned quickly.

In kernel version my tablet says dpi@SWDD5701 #2

Does the #2 mean anything or indicate a refurb?
