Does Google still replace defective N7 2013?

I have a Nexus 7 2013 which I've stopped using because of its buggy Touchscreen. It was purchased directly from Google when it first came out.

Does anyone know if Google still replaces them?

So mobile with defective touch

Hey guys, so it's a known issue that lg g2 to have dead zones on their touch with common region in the sim card area.

Thinking of ordering just the digitizer from alixpress for 5 bucks. But should I only replace the digitizer or lcd as well? The screen is perfect.

Got the phone used and was my stupidity I didn't check the touch on the touch.

Wut do.. Just digitizer or lcd as well

Do Z3's tend to have this... "Defective Speaker Crackle" issue a lot?

Alright so I've got a Z3 ordered. I figured I'd give Sony a shot again as my time with the z2 was pretty bad. So, I've been reading and learning information about the Z3 in the threads here I found a TON of scary sounding stories about Quality Control with the speakers.

I think I've read about 5 threads (2 were on Android Authority) where people have said the Top speaker is almost always blown, and crackles and even replacements have the same issue... Now... I don't plan on rocking maximum volume nonstop (I always like to avoid being close to max as I feel it is safer for it) but... Is this some kind of huge issue? I'm just really not going to be fond having a high quality phone who's speaker sounds like a walmart phone when I get a text/call.

I'd just like some reassurance I guess, is this a hardware issue or software? Or perhaps are the people in these 5 threads daft and this isn't a wide spread issue? If it is hardware, is this some kind of unfix-able issue that Sony just had bad QC on?
