Looks like another issue just popped up, the ear piece speaker is crackling and not usable anymore. Pretty much rendering the phone useless 
With the current fiasco on verizon & google store orders, don't know the turn around for replacement.
Did anyone experience this so far? I am starting to suspect the quality of hardware is so-so ?
