I think part of the touch aspect of my screen failed. Whenever I try to use the right far right side of the screen, nothing happens. For example, if you look at the picture I took, I turned on the pointer location function in the developer tools. What I did was drag my finger down the edge of the screen in the same position. As you can see it starts to pan to the left. This area to the right of the line doesn't work so I can't use the letter P or the old menu button in apps.
It wasn't this way when I got it as one of my Google usernames has a '0' in it and another has a 'P'.
Is anyone else having this issue?

Interesting. I called up Google Play support and doing an RMA was pretty painless. Should have a new one sometime this coming week, hopefully. :victory:

So I have a g2 that came from htc and has an imei flagged as a test phone. I was the first one with tethering and wifi calling and have gotten test OTAs since then. I'm getting the mytouch hd. You think my g2 is worth any more than normal?

Personally, I would not want it at all. Never know when they are going to send you a "special" OTA and do something that cannot be un-done.

This op is one of the ones that got the OTA a few weeks ago. He never made it clear to anybody that it was a special test phone at that time (although he did state it didn't come from T-Mobile). This sent everyone into a tizzy thinking there was the possibility of an OTA for the masses being sent out.
That being said, I'd a pay a small premium for that phone over a standard G2. Risky as far as warranty goes, but that's true of anything you buy used I suppose.

Definitely not crippled. Everything works phenomenal.
I don't understand why this device is worth more, all it has is a test imei that allows for test otas. It's not like it's nand unlocked and can be broken into. No offense to the OP, but once we get the nand unlocked, people that root, won't be looking forward to OTAs, except for new releases of Android instead.

a cop was trying to pull me over, i took my sweet time before i pulled over, even sped up some. when i finally stopped he was pissed. he asked me "why didnt you pull over when i put on my lights, and you even sped up, are you crazy? you better have one good explanation". i replied: "well, sir, my ex-wife left me for a police officer, and i was speeding because i thought you were trying to bring her back". he cracked up, and let me on my way without a ticket.

A freshly baked cookie and a big hug...?
Seriously just bummed myself out pretty hard with this one. #1 reason for getting an S4 was the potential of the 13 megapixel camera. The one I just broke!
S4 in my pocket, leaned against something just right I guess, and BOOM! Not really a boom more of a sad sad whimper when I first saw my cracked lens.
I've searched this already, and there is hardly even a mention of this happening on google.
Hoping that someone has good news for me, or hopefully some helpful suggestions!
Ghost Glass on the front, Machined aluminium bumper, and not a thing to protect that stupid little piece of glass (why glass?) over the camera.:crying:

I finally received my camera from China... Quite an interesting trip it must have been for this little thing. About to replace the broken one, wish me luck.
the case is sweet.. I really like that it protects the outside of the phone as that is usually the part to hit the ground first on a drop. I also really like the Ghost glass that I've put on the screen. It feels just like the naked screen and doesn't inhibit the feel of the phone at all. The only thing that seems to not be protected by this setup is the camera... However at $28 a pop, I could think of worse things to happen. I'll be sure to do a quick write up when I'm finished in a few minutes.
Damn this phone is easy to fix. Took me five minutes total to fix.

My nexus 4 have a small problem with the screen touch, a space about 0.5 inch height and 3 inches width doesn't work. It didn't fall it just stopped working one day.
My warranty is still running, so if google decided to change it, will they give me a new nexus 4 ?
At leat they should give you a brand new one. Of course if they still have one. Or money back.

Kind of true and kind of false. Some of these stores are 3rd party retailers. They have their own inventory and at times have their own promotions. For example the one near my house smells and looks like T-Mobile, but it's owned and operated by a different company.

I've heard this from more than one source, it seems like the GG5 is less prone to breaks, but more prone to scratches. On a hardness scale I seen it got scratched at 3 and the S7 edge was like a 7 or 8. Mine is sitting in the box til I get my Xtremeguard and either The Spigen I paid for, or the promos Rinke sent me to review.
