I got this charging pad (http://www.att.com/chargers/samsung-pma-7-wireless-charging-pad.html) with my S6 when I bought it. However, it has not worked at all. Whenever I put my phone on it, the blue light just starts blinking; the charger doesn't charge the phone. I have tried different outlets with different wall adapters and different microUSB cables, but nothing works. However, the S6 works fine with my Duracell PowerMat and my Qi charger. Is anyone else having this issue with the PMA (or Qi) OEM Samsung wireless charger? Any tips? Thanks in advance.
Yes...not sure what's causing it.

I just read the reviews on AT&T's site and it seems a lot of people are having the same issue. I'll probably try to get an exchange.

I got a couple of $10 charging pads off amazon and they work fine with an old LG (4.8v 1a) and an even older Blackberry (5v 700ma) power adapter.
Well I discovered that the .7amp and the 2amp do not work but I had a 1amp
That ened up working from my gs4 mini. Weird but works perfect now.
Any one have reccomendations on some after market fast chargers? My dog chewed up my Samsung one.
First be a new dog. Then I seen 2 on here but everyone tends to go back to Samsung.

I got the Getwow fast charger from Amazon. So far, it works as it should. I have not experienced any problems. It was 15.99. FYI, Getwow also has a car charger version.
I got a Puregear as a spare. works just fine
Saw the other day. Shop, Android central had the samsung oem. Which is odd bc samsung last I thought didn't have then in their website to sell.
I have a Tenergy fast charger and a Power Partners Fast Charger. Both work as good and even better than the OEM Samsung charger. I got them on Amazon and they were about $20 - $25. The Power Partners charger comes with a 20 awg usb cord but it's 3 feet. They recommend using the provided cord for the best results. The specs are insane though. 5V-4A, 9V-2.22A, 12V-2.5A, or 20V-1A. I have tested it on several devices and they charge twice to three times faster (Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 especially) and I haven't had any issues with heat and/or battery life nor faster battery depletion. The Tenergy is 5V-2A, 9V-2A, or 12V-1.5A and works perfect as well. The only thing about the Power Partners which hasn't been an issue just very.......different is that is has a pretty high pitched current noise. It's like a whistling noise when charging but it is cooler to the touch than the OEM Samsung and Tenergy chargers.
got my tenergy charger on friday, works wonderful
I ordered the Getwow home and car charger set from Amazon and it doesn't work. Still trying to find a good backup as well..
have the getwow unit and verified AC charger works. are you using the getwow or samsung cable. you need to use a data cable(just in case you weren't aware) and not a charge cable.

I'm using the cable they provided. Tried both cables they sent, nothing. Used the cables in my laptop and Xbox One and the phone charged.
This one from Verizon is the best one out there and I've tried them all.
I did buy the getwow ( http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00Q6H51F0/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 ) since having two ports was a great idea (one QC plus one 2.1A port). The first 2 didn't work and the replacement 2 are working well.
One more thing: it is not QC certified (not listed on QC's website)

I didn't know the base plug lit up too, I thought it was just the micro usb cable end. I wanted to get that originally, but it was too expensive for me.

Get a replacement. You might have a defective unit. My Getwow works well with my Note 4.

And you can see this light from across the whole house and the red ring of light goes out when the phone is completely charged.
Great Charger, I don't even use the stock Samsung one anymore.
Its been over a month that ive had my 64g note 5. Just yesterday ive noticed that my so called fast charger wasnt charging my phone as it did in the earlier weeks of usage. No i havent exposed my phone ro any liquids and my charger port is covered by my phone case flaps. And no i havent altered my original oem charger cradle/ usb cord. Any one else experiencing the same problem?
Try plugging the charger directly into the wall outlet (If it wasn't already). If you have any alternate USB cables, try some of those. Otherwise it's the adapter or the phone.
Typically unless you notice the actual port having problems the USB cable is probably worn out. They are usually cheap and frequent bending on any portion of the cable will cause it to eventually break the wire inside.
This is one of the benefits of wireless charging. You won't have to worry about wear on the port or dealing with broken/worn USB cables.
Edit: What I did notice about a week ago was my Fast wired charger was cutting in/out or the phone would say it was only charging at standard speed. I had the adapter attached to an extension cord and decided to just run it directly to my power strip, which solved my problem.
An extension cord won't matter. The charger dongle either gets juice or doesn't...
I bought the Choetech fast wireless charger, working great. Heard there's been issues regarding Samsung brand. But the wireless charging works very well. I have the Choetech fast charger & a Spigen wireless dock, both flawless not cutouts!

For me the issue seems to be the lock screen. When on the lock screen and I plug the charger in I usually do not get fast charge. But if I first log on then it usually will fast charge.

Juice directly from an outlet will always be more than juice coming from an extension cord (especially if its a cheap one) connected to a powerstrip connected to an outlet. If you have ever cut open an extension cord, you'd see why. Below all that plastic are a few silky copper threads which can in no way possible convey the amount of electricity that the thick wires behind your outlet can.

Yes but the dongle is vastly reducing what goes to the phone anyway

Issues with the stock chargers for a lot of people on the note 5. Mine wouldn't fast charge unless plugged and unplugged a bunch. Not good for the port. Got a verizon red tip rapid charger like a few other coworkers got and it fast charges everytime I plug it in. No matter extension or not.. Or 20% or 90%. [emoji4]

Hey guys,
So got my S8+ and so far very happy. I'm having an issue of sorts, where if I use the original wall adaptor and a 3rd party cable such as Belkin, my phone says it's charging but the percentage stays the same. I've tested this with a brand new Belkin USB-C 1.8M cable and a USB micro cable using the included adaptor.
It was on 8% when I went to bed, and 8% when I first woke up. Changing the settings to disable fast charging made them work, but this seems like it could generate a lot of problems for people who don't even know about fast charging, especially as it's on by default.
Anyone else noticed this?
Sounds like a faulty cable.

I originally thought that, but surely can't be the case if I have two cables doing it? And if it charged fine without fast charging, is that still a possibility? As the only thing that changes is voltage I believe?

Your belkin cables are ok BUT not compatible with fast charging. I THINK the phone must talk some way to charger to enable fast charging but your cables are not transmitting that info to the cgarger.
I advise you to buy original samsung spare cables.

I know this, but generally if the device detects that the cable is not compatible with fast charging, it falls back to normal charging. That's how it was with my S7 Edge.
I'm just imagining all the people reporting their phone as faulty when it's not.
My phone didn't come with a charger so I had to buy one off ebay. The thing is my phone will only charge with said charger and no other, but will charge with any cable plugged into my laptop.
Is this by design or is there a weird issue with my phone? Anybody else had similar issues?
Thanks.
tried diffident AC adapters?
