Well I got very lucky. I tried the Good home trial program where they sent me 4 different versions of Glass with the prescription frames. The package list clearly mentioned that these were non working versions.
However...The good news. One of my units is working. I have a completely functioning Glass for $50. I wanted to be upfront with Google and let them know but they said it wouldn't work forever but it's been over a month and still working. It is version XE13 of the firmware and isn't updating to anything beyond that at this point. Everything else is okay...

You could try to manually flash a newer update. If I were you, I wouldn't tell Google .
Can you show some pictures from the four different Glasses with the usb ports? Google 'destroy' the usb ports, and send them out to the people who use the trial program.
the XE13 is a software update that never got released for the 'official' explorers.
Well they didn't destroy the USB enough on one. With the right combination of chargers and cable I can charge it. I don't think I am able to get a computer to recognize it so I have to play with that to get it to work to before I can flash it.
I wonder if the fact that it is XE13 is why it won't automatically update.

Has G contacted you in any way asking for them back? Or did they just charge you the $50?

So you kept the glasses and they only took $50 from your account nothing more?
That's correct. I also told them that I had a working Glass but they didn't seem to care so I figured my side of the street and conscious was clean.

Good to hear it. The sooner they release it and the competition takes it's place, the price will hopefully go down to where it is slightly more affordable. I mean, really, no one needs these. They are almost always cosmetic and "cool" and I'll be much happier to buy something like this for fun when it doesn't cost more than a thousand dollars

well you could sign up for the home trial program. then you will have 4 pairs of google glass (semi working) Then you let google charge you the $50 hold and sell the 4 pair on ebay then you will have more than enough for google glass or some spare cash.
I had success using an Apple USB charger and tried different types of cables until I got one to work

This is the second time I've gone to CVS to make an NFC payment and it fails each time. I get an error try again message. Any advice? I have a stock rooted Nexus with a T-Mobile sim.

I've run into this same issue where it won't work at CVS or toys r us, sketchy at meijer, but works great at Walgreens and 7/11. I've contacted Google and all their wallet department would say to me is that everything looks good on their end, but they are aware of software bugs in the version on our phone and a new version is coming.
BTW, I'm on at&t and I'm fully stock.

It could be that the pad at the store is broken. If it works at one store but not the other, there is not reason to think that its your phone that works. Sometimes the people behind the counter need to press the credit button before you make the transaction as well.
I'll try giving it another shot next time I'm at walgreens or maybe McDonald's

That's why I've stayed with the original gmail, maps, and YouTube. I don't like the direction that those Google apps are going, so if it ain't broke, then don't update it.
I was getting a error for every video I was trying to play, I ended up resetting my cable modem and downloaded a yt from ipmart/ mobilism. Now it works no issues.

I have seen this video of someone running their shift without a battery installed, he never actually explains the process but mentions the BIOS lock that disables the device when no battery is present or battery level warning.

Nah, I don't think it's NFC, the maximum range is roughly around 10 cm, which is relatively short.
But what makes your think it's the Nexus that is triggering the alarm?
Well thought it was my vape at first. Its the phone in my op cuz happens to me and the wife she is stock I'm rooted. And its the only thing I'm my pocket when it happens JC Penny's old navy ross's k mart Walmart . its weird
Never had this happen nowhere in Germany. However I bought some boots once and months later in a random store the alarms went off. Showed one shoe was not unlocked when I bought it

hey guys did you find a solution for this issue, i am getting the same thing getting out of walmart WTF it happes all the time now.
i use CM11 lattest nightly.
and is like he is saying first i tough somebody forgot to take the damm sensor out but then i notice that i go by my self just me and my phone and the damm thing goes off i even asked my son to by him self and then take my phone and go ture it, as soon as he goes with my phone bang... alarm goes off.
it never happend before but it started a couple of weeks ago.
a friend of my told me that the wireless charger can cause this do you use the wireless charger? stooping to think about my issues started after i start to use it.
any coments on that guys?
Hey all I was just wondering if anyone is having problems with receiving calls. It seems to happen more and more lately. What happens is the phone rings and I answer it but I can't hear them and they can't hear me. The phone then disconnects. It doesn't matter where I am so I don't think it's a phone network problem. I travel all over the place as I'm a truck driver. It seems to happen more when connected to a Bluetooth device but now it's starting to happen when not.
I'm am rooted and at present running on stock. It doesn't matter if I'm on stock or a custom ROM it does the same thing. I'm really regretting getting this phone and ready to go back to my DROID RAZR MAXX HD. I like the phone its blazing fast but it has issues which I've asked about before. I bought this phone on the Edge plan and did line swapping to keep unlimited data. But I'm ready to throw it in the garbage or sell it real cheap. Or starting all over and leaving it unrooted and see what happens. Really wanted root so I could tether when ever I want. Any suggestions?
