Turns out there are quite a few review of people who had the exact same crack 2/3 of the way up the screen with same sensitivity loss above the crack. So it definitely look like a production defect, be cautious if you have a Nexus 7. This is the 2013 Nexus 7, right? Not the original model? My original model Nexus 7 is still running fine, though it had performance issues with Lollipop, so I had to revert it back to KitKat (and I'd consider that more an issue with Lollipop, not the device). | ||

It's definitely usable now and probably won't make or break your phone choice on its own, but after using Sense for about 8 months on my HTC One, I would definitely be a little annoyed going back to TouchWiz. Sense is the best of the custom Android UI packs, but honestly I dislike all of them since they break away from Google's design too much. HTC apps follow their own kind of theme/arrangement in a separate framework file, Google and most of the 3rd party apps on Store follow Google's framework. I want everything to be consistent. | ||

I will the not be able to turn it on again until I have removed the battery and placed it back. The battery seems to be holding power just as well as always. I have tried cleaning the connections between the battery and the phone without any improvement. Any suggestions? Just to follow up: Apparently the motherboard had shorted out. So I'm now on the market for a new phone and looking for some recommendations. I have been overjoyed with the Galaxy S3, and I'm thinking about simply getting a new S3 (or perhaps upgrade since it might actually end up being cheaper). | ||

I like the Motorola crowd and Nexus phones because they run stock/near stock Android. Nexus 5 and Droid Maxx are my favorites. | ||

My provider sadly only carries Samsung, iPhone, Huawei, Nokia, LG and Sony. I was considering getting an unlocked HTC/Nexus but I'm not sure it is worth the extra cost/hassle. EDIT: I would actually really appreciate to hear thoughts on Huawei P6/P7/Y530 if anyone has used them and can compare them to Samsung models. | ||

Brand new Motorola Droid phones can be found on eBay. Verizon 4G LTE phones are GSM unlocked and free to use on GSM carriers. | ||

Can't wait for the Note 5, that's probably the one I'm going to purchase. | ||
