No sadly it does not. Though I heard there was wireless charging compatible cases. Don't take my word on it.
.
11) I don't live in a 4G LTE area, can I turn it off?
Yes you can! Look for a app called "LTE On/Off" on the PlayStore. It has worked wonders for me.
12) Can I use it to tether?
I'm not sure, you probably can through you carrier, but third party alternatives like FoxFi does not work with the 4.4 update.
13) Flash isn't working, help?!?
Steve Jobs convinced Adobe to drop all mobile flash support around Android 4.2.2. There are some alternatives like Puffin and Dolphin Browser w/ Jetpack. Check here.
14) Is there a "Find My iPhone" for Android?
Yes Google has one, go into "Google Settings" and go into the Android Device Manager. There is also a native app on the PlayStore to check the location, ring, and remote lock.
If you are close enough you can also say "Okay Google Now, Find my phone". This works if you misplaced it while in your house. It will ring loudly even if your on silent.
