In the article there may be an update (software) but for charging a new wireless charger may be required.

-> On a personal note I tried a wireless charger and fount them a little finicky. You had to position the phone just right on the charger until it be-booped just right and it did seem to run hotter. For that phone I went back to charging with a cable.

Still some Android shortcomings

Need a different icon in Phone/Recents for incoming callers who hung up and those who leave voicemail. I hate having to go back and forth between phone/recents and voicemail to figure out who to call back
Also, we should have a couple of ringtones with a silence override so I can silence my phone at work and still be able to get a ring from important people (family, boss, etc.)
