The update will fix an issue where wireless charging was not activating under certain scenarios and will also address the excessive battery drain caused by certain wallpapers. Additionally, a fault that prevented some alerts from showing up on the lock screen has been addressed, as has an issue with the fingerprint scanner that would periodically prevent it from working.
