A:AnswerI've had phone/charger for about a month, use the wireless charger almost daily and have not seen any degrading issues with photos or videos...
A:AnswerMy husband has an Otterbox on his phone and we found it charged much better laying on it's side than standing up. You might try that! If the short is on your phone it should not affect it because you are not plugging in to the phone.
A:AnswerNo unfortunately it does not. Your phone must have Qi wireless capabilities in order to use this charger. BB doesn't have restocking fees for this item. I think it only applies to cellphones, laptops, tv, etc. after a certain period of time. Restocking fees shouldn't apply on accessories.
A:AnswerAny USB-C cable will work, but output can vary depending on your cars ability to charge. The charger that comes with it is 9v/1.67a. Most likely it will be a bit lower in your car as most mobile ratings are at 14.4v in from your vehicle, while most generally run 12.5-13.5 once warm.
A:AnswerCan't really answer your question since I don't know about the older charging stand. I really like the new one that I purchased mainly because it quits charging on it's own while my phone is still in the stand when it gets to 100%.
A:AnswerYes. Mine Is in a Slim otter box case and it works. I have a samsung Galaxy note 8. No mine don’t get hot at all. It’s a fan on the charger too
