I asked my wife and she indicates the blue light always comes on, whether charged or not. We have some Samsung Wireless charging pads we use in our home, and before purchasing she was reading some of the comments indicating certain phone cases may cause some issues. I think she said 'Otterbox' (could be wrong). So might be something to look into if you are using a case?

Is it a different setup the M40i and 30i (i'd be surprised if it was). Confused.
No secure needed, jjl - it feels almost like a rubber-type material, and it definitely isn't slippery. I set my phone on it and tried to slide it and it barely budged. There is no bracket to secure the phone. I think what you are seeing is a little removable rubbery tray. I honestly don't know it's purpose, though, as it doesn't look like it would hold much of anything.
