USB broken.... is it possible to charge with wireless charger? - Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Like the title says. ...a friend of mine have broken the USB and the battery is completely down. Can he use a wireless charger or it needs some configuration?
Sorry for the noob question but I never used that kind of stuff.
Tnx in advance

Wireless charging should work without problems or any configuration.

Wireless Charger question

So I recently purchased the nexus phone and I have a question about wireless charging that is not phone specific. I know that having the correct voltage for your phone is very important and the wrong voltage can ruin your battery. Does wireless charging still apply to these rules? If know how do i know what my phones battery takes and what the wireless charges puts out.
Thanks everyone!

Charging port pins lifting

Hi I noticed a while ago that pin 30 on my charging port of my tablet was lifted some so I pushed it down with a toothpick. There wasnt an issue with the tablet before, it was just something I noticed. I ordered a cable from ebay, probably a knock off, and it worked for both charging (with the use of the p1000 adapter) and for data transfer. I was using the tablet mostly for debugging and movies. I recently had it charging for a while using the rocketfish usb hub and the p1000 adapter. I tried to plug in my tablet to the pc with and without the adapter and my pc was telling me that it had an unknown device plugged in. I looked up what exactly pin 30 was and it is a ground pin. My question is would that pin affect the ability for the pc to data transfer and recognize the device? The cable currently only works for charging and that is with or without the P1000 adapter. Other than that it gives me an unknown device when plugged into the pc. I dont have another tablet or cable to test so I may just order an official cable and charger if the ground shouldnt be an issue.
Have you installed Kies? Windows cannot recognize samsung galaxy devices without it
My cable stopped charging all together. I ordered another data cable to see if my original cable was faulty. Hopefully that was the problem all along.
I got my new cable in which btw is alot more sturdier than the last. I plugged it in anticipating an error and behold! My pc recognized my tablet and began to charge. The data part works because it instantly showed that the tablet was in debug mode. So my pins were not a problem, just my cheap chinese tablet cable. P.S. I did not have to install that software and if in the future I come across a problem then I will try out the software. Unless there is a benefit to installing the samsung software? feels like an iTunes type of software. Thanks for the suggestions and hopefully this will help others in the future.
:good:
Thank you for posting your fix for your question. It drives me crazy when people ask a question. Then later reply nvm I figured it out. (And don't explain what they did) or not even reply at all.
I think I have same issue. My stock cable won't charge anymore. Do you have a link where you bought new charger? Or what store did you go to?
I ordered one from amazon and it was a knockoff that gets a red x over battery icon :/

Did you order cable only?
Are you sure there is nothing wrong with the charger base?

No I order this combo kit with wall charger, car charger and 30 pin USB cable. From amazon
Weird cause the car charger works amazing. Can watch Netflix w/ full brightness and still charge. While the wall charger will only charge if shut down
But about original charger. I was mistaken. I had a 6ft. Extention cord that I would plug it into cause original cord is way to short. And come to find out it was the extention causing the issue.
But I'm still interested in a Spare wall charger that actually works. Lol where did you get yours. Is it just as good as stock

I've experienced the same with extention cord, wonder why the amps get lost on the way into the battery?

Well technically the extention cord isn't putting out the same amount of amps as the wall outlet. Especially when the gauge of the wire is way smaller most likely. But I like to use my tablet while charger and refuse to 3ft away from wall so its kinda neccessary lol

Why won't my tablet start?

Sorry if this is the wrong board but I'm new to XDA :/
So one day I left my Versus touchtab to charge and then when I came back it wouldn't turn on. The problem is that sometimes when I plug it in the tablet would act as though it's charging but it wont so I run out of charge. My theory is that it didn't charge properly and it's completely out of juice. Please could anyone tell me why they think it's not working and how to fix the issue. Thanks in advance!
P.S It doesn't charge via micro USB and I've already been told to charge it via USB and it's actual charger many times!

Fast Charge + Belkin Cable = No charge?

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.

battery slowly charging with ac, normal with wireless

hi all,
I'd like to submit you a strange behaviour of my beloved nexus 5.
Suddenly, with every charger and cable I can merely reach 200 mAh, very slow charging that actually doesn't allow the phone to charge up. On the other hand, wireless charging works quite well, at least i can recharge the battery.
What do you think? could it be related to the flex cable/bad usb port? USB otg works....
on the other hand, could it be a motherboard related problem? (but in that case, why does wireless charging work?)
thanks for your ideas guys!
