- The wireless charger won't work, if you have a case that has a metal clip at the back and in exactly the wrong place
- Phone should be placed with screen facing upward on charger. May not work if screen is placed face-down on charger

I just noticed my LG G7+ (Android 8 OS) blinking very fast (while on the 1k charger) when I have received an SMS - not sure if this is normal or not...

I know apple likes to create proprietary technology so you have to buy their accessories, but in the past, I believe they have been compatible.

Apple is introducing its own MagSafe charger, which is faster for iPhone 12, but Qi devices are still compatible.

The only way I can get it to charge is by disconnecting the USB connector and reconnecting it with the phone in place...

I just got a new Iphone 12 and the charger works great - if the colors start flashing or alternating, I just take the phone and place it back down a little lower so it can get the charging connection through the case.
Finally an airline appreciation gift that I can use!
