Well, it's the nuts basically. I put my phone on its pad and it charges. Every phone should do this.

This means even more electromagnetical fields  Not sure this is necessary !

Well it does, but they don't seem to do any harm. The one around the earth stops us from frying in fact.

I think a localized electromagnetic source whose purpose is to transmit energy must be much more harmful than the Earth magnetic field. The mere fact that the earth magnetic field has been existing for ages means the human being has evolved with it as a constraint, and has adapted. This cannot be the case for small micro-waves oven charging iShits.

I think ultraviolet light is a lot more damaging than EMF. And life on Earth has evolved with UV light, but it still causes cancer.
Anyway, the radiation of which you speak is non-ionizing radiation. There is no real proof that it does any harm.
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

Aha! But what about imaginary proof of real or imaginary harm?

And (what's left of) the ozone in the upper atmosphere filters the harmful UV - but living in the midst of it is another story.

Saves plugging a fragile connector into an even more fragile socket. Which has got to be good in the long term, considering how difficult it is to repair a modern phone, and the energy cost of manufacture!

That is an exceptionally good point. The knackered connector is usually one of the things which prompts me to get a new phone!

Flip to Silence is in my opinion a Thing every phone should be able to do...
Nice Feature 
|
|
|
|
|
What happens if it is face down already? I presume if you flip it around to see who's calling it doesn't do that?

Wait a Minute, i´ll give it a try...
in fact i was wondering about that yesterday, but forgot to test it...
|
|
|
|
|
WTE!?
It isn´t working.
okay, normally i´m using a win8 phone; i had the last GDR installed.
ATM i´m using my older win7.8 and there´s no flip to silence...
My mother´s win7.8 phone has it 
Very mystical...
|
|
|
|
|
Oh well, good idea in principle!
Regards,
Rob Philpott.
|
|
|
|
|
Yes indeed.
i asked my Senior, who owns the lumia 1020 (elephanting cool phone  )
if it already is lying face-down you can flip it to see who´s calling and by flipping it again, it quiets down...
|
|
|
|
|
The feature is not available anymore for the moment AFAIK.

That works on all phones, if you flip them hard enough.

Inductive Charging[^] is what you are talking about. It is a good idea but there are some disadvantages too, so maybe not every phone but I would like to see it done in a standard way and adopted widely. (Wouldn't it be nice to set your phone on a table at a restaurant or coffee shop and have it charge it.)
Oh, anyone talking about health concerns from the magnetic fields should follow the link and read what this is. (The fields are small and localized. It's NOT some gigantic field to cover your house/office/...)
