wireless charging

I am convinced that the heat issues are misalignment.

Be interested to hear from someone with a heat issue that is taking the time to line up the phone with the charger.

i was thinking that as well. if its not aligned properly then power is being lost which could be the reason for the excessive heat.

Affirmative--line it up fairly well and it'll charge faster and cooler.

I grabbed the Nokia from an AT&T store as well. It is kind of weird that you have to put the phone kind of low on the charger to get everything lined up (i.e. the center of the charger needs to align with a spot higher than the center of the phone), but once you get used to that, it seems to charge pretty well, and I haven't noticed any heat issues other than a mild warmth.
The only bad thing is that since the Nokia shuts off when the phone is charged, it messes with my Tasker sleep profile which shuts off the ringer except for specific contacts if it is night time and the phone is charging. Once the charger shuts off, it triggers my exit task and turns the ringer back on!

Well, there is a task in the assist app that can silence except for favorite contacts between two certain times. You could use that instead of the Tasker profile.

The assist action puts a notice in the notification pull down along with a tap area that says "I'm not sleeping" so you can turn the action off when you need the ringer on during the sleeping time block.

You work in a Verizon Store and don't have it yet? Egads man, get on it

Verizon does carry the Incipio (not the other brand, that was a HUGE typo) Ghost 100 charger, but NOT any charging backs - not for any brand that doesnt already come ready with it. You have to order it, they are sent Economy, which means USPS. They tell you it takes 1 to 3 days, actually takes 4 to 7 days according to USPS.

It's kind of confusing about setting the phone on the charger. I've seen some instructions setting the phone one direction on the charger and some placing it in the other direction. I guess it really doesn't make a difference as long as the charging icon is in line on the charger and phone.

What charger?

I have the Tylt (the 45 degree one) and it charges portrait or landscape.
