Too bad I got a regular Samsung Wireless Charger free with Edge+ @ BestBuy. Although, the same product is showing for pre-order at their website for some reason. It was released a while back, it should have been the fast charger on pre-order. Anyway, will see once I pick it up on 21st.
I know that Qi wireless charger is great.
I will try it ,when my S6 plus is arrival

Samsung Fast Wireless Charger would be better. Both are different.

I have one of the old chargers too, but it doesn't like the edge plus. It will charge for about 5 to 10 minutes then it will just flash blue. Are you having issues with yours?

You know what, I picked my phone today along with the old wireless charger and I had just put the phone over the wireless charger like 15 min before. Every 5 min, my Edge+ stops charging and the charger blinks blue. I was about to search on google when I came across your post. No idea whats wrong with it.... Lets see if anybody else is having similar issue.
I found a post that people are saying it's related to the lock screen, when they enable day dream mode it worked for some people. I tried it the phone stayed on for awhile, when I came back a hour later it was flashing blue again so I'm not to sure what the issue is.

Yeah, I can always buy that Samsung Wireless Fast Charger , its just $69 and if you register your new flagship, they are throwing 30% off coupon codes too. However, my point is, if the they have decided to give away these old generation fast chargers, the least it should do is charge. I have tried using a different fast charge adapter and a Nexus 4. Still blinking!
Anyway, I've written back to Samsung about this one, lets hope they get back. If not, I'll have to take it back to BestBuy and pickup another one!

You're right, never saw that piece. Sammy is desperate to sell off its official accessories. S6 Edge accessories were very inferior, so I didn't even look at the Samsung section this time, straight to SpiGen.
Same issue as you all with the note5. Same Samsung charger that bestbuy gave away.
Sent from my SM-N920V using XDA Free mobile app
Same here. 20 minutes of charging then it quits. I'm going to return it to Best Buy. Maybe they'll give me credit towards a better charger. More likely they'll just exchange it for another.
I have same problem with s6 edge plus. I will try to exchange the phone.

Shipping is supposedly fast. Also it's a different seller from the Amazon.COM listing. So it may not ship from China. The order confirmation page says that it ships soon so could come from Canada for all we know.
Every review says the charger produces a very loud beep whenever it starts or completes a charge. Very annoying.
I wonder if its an easy fix like the other chargers. Open and pull the speaker wire. I am not looking forward to some beep telling me that my phone is done charging while I try to sleep.

mine just arrived. Shipped from California, seller was 'gigacity_amn'. Here's the video
It literally just arrived this evening - initial testing looks good, but I'll give it a few days of overnight and see how it runs. I'll be using my S-Line TPU case with it.

Been using it at work since it arrived. It works great - the beep is incredibly shrill, especially in an office environment, but it charges quickly and doesn't get too hot.
I will note that this particular charger does NOT top up the battery, so it's not good for overnight charging. Once your phone hits 100%, the charger stops charging, and doesn't kick back on until you physically remove the phone from the pad for a few seconds. It's great for the office or any other environment where you just need a quick top-up, but again, not good for overnight charging.

Red cross does not mean that Note is not charging. I have the same cross when charging my Note from USB hub. It will just take more time to chagre it.

That's good to hear, thanks for posting. It might work then. I didn't try it with the tablet off, just with my Note 8 and GNex and assumed the red cross means it's detected but not charging. Depending on how slow the charging is, it might still be usable then.

How many mA is your qi charger, and how many mA is your receiver on the phone? I know I shopped around for a 1A receiver for my S4, and it made a big difference in charge time. I am guessing, since the Note8 came with a 2A charger, it will need more of a draw to sustain power while it is on. I wonder if a 1A QI charger and a 1A receiver would still show a red X. I don't think the QI standard allows anything over 1A draw yet.
Any updates?
I understand it correct that it works, but very slow? This would be okey for me as it will be placed on the qi charger over night.
Please check in settings -> status if the charging mode is "AC" or "USB"!
I got to have it so I can hit the ground running with the note 4 and keep up my 30 GB per month average.

TODAY:
I called Verizon and the Customer Service representative told me "Battery's for the Note 4 are not available for order on their system." They told me to "try calling Samsung."
My Note 4 is suppose to be delivered on Oct. 23, The charger I ordered from eBay should be here between
Oct. 16 and Oct. 31. I may have to switch the SIM card back and forth between the Note 4 and the Note 2 so I can keep my Gigabyte Burn-Rate up.
I called Samsung, they told me they don't have accessory's for the Note 4 yet and they don't know when they will.
I'm sure glad I ordered the 3220mAh Battery + Charger Cradle For the Galaxy Note 4 from Korea on eBay.

The fast charger has dual voltage output. One of the outputs is 9v. I'm fairly sure this is the fast charge element.
Doesn't matter how high the mA rating is for the 5v chargers they will not trigger the fast charge process.

Absolutely not. This is just a regular charger. Rapid charging is not the same thing as adaptive fast charging. Rapid charging is just a function of the 2amp output, vs 0.5amp on old school usb chargers. Rapid charging is 4+ years old technology, and is the standard charger you find almost everywhere.
Ah this really sucks, i had one nicked a few days ago in a hostel in Romania, i will settle for unoffical if anyone has found one?

Register your Phone with Samsung.. they will send you a 50% off coupon. Use this to buy as many OEM batteries as you wish.. $20 is cheap for factory battery.
EDIT. Sry I was speaking about the battery rather than the charging cable. But you should also be able to gr the cable from Samsung as well with the coupon code
Are we able to use the Note 4 charger on other things like Bluetooth and such?
Wondering if it would damage them from charging too fast if it does.
I have tried a few wireless chargers but the cheap ones have a small area that works. I have used samsungs mini qi wireless charger while it works same issue small area that the charger works. So I got the S6 wireless charger at best buy for 35.99 normal price is 59.99. The useable area is perfect I can just throw it on I dont have to fiddle with it to get it to charge.
