So much for "Universal"  |

I aint alone and it's frustrating as hell!

you know I've already questioned this, not to how it can charge but how it can develop
energy in "standby/waiting" time - watches have 'self charged" by perpetual motion for decades, and wind up radios show high-enrgy gizmos can develop self-renewable enrgy, and so a phone in a pocket doing kilometer of walking per day, why not?
All bullshit stuff, but hey, 26 years ago, I have a physics project quite clearly stating in my own handwriting how cars could self-regulate speed and distance through calculating the distance of the car in front by radio waves, and well....maybe wind-up phones will make the market once bluetooth and wifi power consumption gets under control.
