There was a lot of coverage of it back at the beginning of July. Wish I'd paid more attention then haha.

Google's official position is "contact us" which I did today, but they wouldn't tell me whether it would cost me or not without sending them a video of the problem, which rubbed me the wrong way. I know my phone is out of warranty now but the manufacturer broke this with their own update. Probably no more Google hardware for me. ๐

Thanks for sharing that! Hopefully I don't have any catastrophic failures any time soon.
