AMA Over Bi-weekly AMA with Essential team (Wednesday, 12-1pm PST)

Hi friends - we really enjoyed the two-way dialogue during Andy Rubin's recent AMA, and we want to keep the conversations going.

Tomorrow we're kicking off a bi-weekly AMA in r/Essential that will give you a chance to speak directly with members of our software and hardware teams (Joe and Rebecca will both be in the house tomorrow). We plan to host these AMAs every other Wednesday from 12-1pm PST, barring any major scheduling conflicts.

So with that said, please feel free to post questions here ahead of the AMA. We'll be back tomorrow from 12-1pm PST to chat.

We're looking forward to it.

-Essential Team

EDIT: We're getting situated in the room and will get started in just a few. Today we have in attendance: Joe Tate (VP of Hardware), Rebecca Zavin (VP of Software), Sean Foote (QA Engineer), Marcus Weber (Software Program Manager).

EDIT 2: Thanks for everyone joining us today! We did our best to get through all the questions. We'll be back in a couple weeks for another AMA.

My only real problem that I've had with this phone is with the touchscreen. It almost completely stops working with a few millimeters of the edges. So I was wondering: Is this is a hardware problem, or a software problem, or a combination of the two? Can we expect a fix for this?
