Best wireless charger for galaxy s6

Hi XDA members
in your opinion what is the best wireless charger for galaxy s6
hope everyone give us the price and the link for the product

Well it really depends on your budget. In my case, I am on a tight budget so I'll probably settle on TechMatte Wireless Charger that is priced not more than $25. However, I would really like the official Samsung wireless charger that is priced at $45 on Amazon. It is good-looking, sleeker and has functional LED light indicator.
Here is a good article about S6 wireless charger:
http://www.androidauthority.com/best-wireless-chargers-samsung-galaxy-s6-600922/

Honestly anything that has 3 coils will do well for you. I recently purchased this charger from Amazon, and it's amazing. You don't have to play with alignment as there is more than one coil.

Yep.. ^^^^ what eep02b said.. I have the same exact one and it charges ridiculously good. No issues whatsoever. I've used a variety cases and it charges them with no issues. The thickest case I have is the Caseology and the Supcase.

I don't have the S6, but I do have the official Samsung charger.
http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Wireless-Charging-Pad-Packaging/dp/B00UCZGS6S
I'm using it for my S3, that has a wireless receiver inside since my charging port is rather finicky these days. It works fine for that and it's nice that it's low profile, which is what I wanted.
The downside is that since it's flat, not very useful if you wanna watch movies and such, but that doesn't bother me since I only use it before I go to bed. I generally don't run into alignment issues with it, but always a possibility with the single coil setup.
The official Samsung one works with any Qi enabled device, though if you are using it for any other device, besides the S6, like I'm currently doing with my S3, the LED indicator will not tell you when it's fully charged. It'll just tell you when it's on the pad.
I don't mind since I just use my phone's LED indicator light to let me know when it's fully charged. But, keep that in mind, if you want to use it for phones other than the S6.
The 3 coil setup is better in that you won't run into any alignment issues like you can run into with single coil set ups. If you get something like this TYLT charger, you can definitely watch movies and such since it's propped up.
http://www.amazon.com/TYLT-Wireless-Charger-all-Phones/dp/B00DG8NUC8
One other thing you wanna keep in mind with wireless charging in general. It will NOT charge your phone as fast as using the AC adapter (especially since it has fast charging capabilities) the phone came with. If you wanna charge your phone fast, wireless charging isn't the way to go. It's more of a convenience thing. Figured you knew that, but a friendly reminder never hurts.

Yeah I got this one aswell for bedroom, and I have the round original Samsung one for desktop. Samsungs has too bright blue leds to use in bedroom so its more suitable for desk.
Both works great, no issues at all. Might get the QiStone+ later on so that I can have a portable battery with wireless charging capabilities.

Have any of you with that Choe charger used any sort of app to measure what sort of charging current you're getting?

Im using the Choetech upgraded wireless charger, got it off Amazon for about £15. My last cheaper one used to sometimes overheat the phone. This one works without any issues and takes the same to to charge as a standard wall charger. What app can I use to check the charging voltages etc?

I use the TYLT Vu

I use an app called Ampere. Had to use the option for the older testing method to get it to work with the S6.

The Samsung Wireless Charging Pad for Galaxy S6 works just fine for me.

My TYLT Vu only works reliably when my S6 is placed on it in landscape orientation. It either doesn't work, or works intermittently in portrait orientation.
Do you have this issue with yours?

No, the only problem that I have with it is when my phone is fully charger and then the screen of my s6 lights up and the sound of the wireless charging plays, and its keep on doing it ever minute or so... I don't know if its the charger fault or the device itself

I have 3 of these around the house, work just fine for me, and they come in different colors and shapes;

I just got the new belkin charger and works great so far. Been using a cheap one from eBay and works good too.
Waiting on more from eBay soon and I'm sure they will work too.

Mine does the same thing on the Choe 3 coil. I stopped using it. Wish there was a way to fix this without root.

I have the same issue, the wireless charger charges my phone just fine. I have 3 separate ones and they all do it, once it gets to 100% it keeps making the charging noise on and off as it looses a bit of power and starts charging again, kind of annoying when it's by your bedside lol. Anyone know how to fix that?

I have the official Samsung charging pad, works like every other wireless charger. Not sure if it was worth the $40 I got it for but the charging LED is handy and it isn't too bright to sleep with (my opinion). It doesn't have any starting/stopping charging issues at 100%.

Just bought this a few days ago, absolutely love it. I've set it down maybe 50 times, never missed a charge or needed to re-position it. For $25, you can't go wrong. Only minor down side is the surface is pretty smooth, so people without a case, I could see this sliding off. I use a clear Spidgen case, and have no issues at all charging with the case on.

Gear S2 Charger Compatibility

First day with the classic, I got home just now and have my spare moto 360 charger sitting on the desk. Put the S2 on there to see if it would charge, it sits just fine and I would imagine that it's lined up but it appears that it charged it for a second and then doesn't continue charging. The 360 charger will remain lit as a device on there is being charged but the watch doesn't accept the charge. Anyone tried it with any other Qi chargers? Don't tell me it's some proprietary crap.

Havent had much luck with my Gear S2. I have to take the straps off to get it to lay flat on any Qi pad. Official Samsung Qi pad will charge for a second or two before it starts flashing blue and the watch stops charging. The cheap pad I purchased from Amazon doesn't do anything at all when I place my watch on it.
So I took apart my cheap charge pad and took the coil out. If I rest the watch directly on the coil it actually charges but it gets very hot after just a few minutes. Guess we have to wait for Samsung to start selling new docks or for a 3rd party to make one strong enough to power the coil in the S2.

It would seem that the S2 does not actually use Qi, or some proprietary variant. For me it's charging neither on the Moto 360 charger nor on various Qi charging pads from Ikea that I have.

Not my video but this guy says it works with moto 360 charger

It doesn't, and the video does not prove the opposite. It just shows that someone places a S2 onto the Moto360 charger and that charger and S2 recognize each other. This is what everyone can see, but as said, the S2 is not charged actually.
I would comment on the video if it wouldn't require G+ membership.

This one shows a guy using another wireless charger.

And that guy is as stupid as the other one because in his video you can even SEE that it doesn't charge!
BTW, he's also just as stupid as his Swabian dialect. And yes, I am allowed to say that, because I'm from Germany as well.
Just have a closer look, especially when he places the S2 onto the Samsung charging pad. You see how the charge indicator icon on the S2 appears and disappears right away. Then he swipes down so that you can see the icon again. And now you see that the little flash in the battery icon (which is on when the watch actually charges) is not there. So no charging.
Just because someone is able to upload something to YT does not mean he/she is right. Or smart.

Strange, mine works perfect ...
My watch just fits in the handle (facing 90 degrees) and the straps are touches nothing.

What handle? What charger are you using?

The standard charger that came with the s2.
Maybe it wasn't explained well. The watch just set nicely on the charger vertically and laying against the charge part of the charger. The strap is not close to anything ... not even close to an issue

They're talking about using the s2 with other qi chargers. There's not a problem getting it to charge on the included charger.

So... Yeah. It looks like everyone just assumed it would support Qi, since that was the standard that Samsung supported before the newest phones released this year (that supports WPC and Qi).
Looks like they may have went in a different direction entirely with the S2. This just gets better and better...

Unfortunately they didn't state what's the reason why standard Qi chargers don't work. They just confirmed they don't work...
Nice find anyway...
@chemaster: You might want to re-read the thread...

I'm not saying you guys are wrong about the charger but the manufacturer is supposed to say use with the supplied charger only. But here is a reviewer on AC that says the charger that came with the s2 is qi.

haha yeah i am from austria and i loled.
just got my gear s2 today and tried it with tylt charger, although just holding it against the back side and trying to find a spot where it will charge. but it did not. i also got the fast wireless charger from samsung today and it seems to work for a few seconds and then loose the connection and stops charging. sometimes after more than 10 or more seconds. so maybe it just recognizes the charger, but it seems like it gets a charge for some time and then stops.
i have a few other qi chargers at home from ikea and other and will try those as well and will report back. would be awesome to have some more options to actually charge the watch than just the charger that comes with it and no replacement to buy from samsung.
that was one of the best things of the sony smartwatch 3, to charge it anywhere you could possibly imagine.
Edit:
so i just got home and tested all of my other qi chargers. the ikea lamp charger does not work nor does the adata CE700.
but i noticed one strange/cool thing: the original nexus charger for the N5 in fact does work perfektly. i put the watch on and they connect and stay connected and i just saw it charged from 95% to 96% so far no heat or anything.
so i guess its qi compatible after all, but i don't get it that some or better to say a few will work and most of them not.
cheers

Uhh this thread is about using a charger other then the gear s2 charger, but you said your using the stock charger? We know it charges just fine on the charger it came with we talking about using other QI or wireless chargers.
---------- Post added at 10:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:57 PM ----------
I have both a moto 360 and gear s2. I have swapped chargers and my findings are as follows.
The 360 works great on the charger of the gear s2. it charges at normal speed and works without any issues.
The Gear S2 does seem to charger slower or stop and start charging when being placed on the moto 360 charger, but that all seems to be due to size. The larger diameter of the moto 360 holds the watch higher up on the charging pad. When I place a spacer to lift the gear s2 high up on the charger it seems to work just fine. I think it's all about placement.
And for those trying the stupid Samsung wireless charger and getting a flashing blue light. It does that with the phone that's supposed to be on the charger and the is threads with pages and pages of complaints about that issue. I can only imagine that using this small watch on it will only make it more prone to do what it already does. So I don't want to even rate that!

No, it doesn't. The original charger for the Nexus 7 et al behaves exactly like all other wireless chargers:
It charges for some seconds then stops (in this case flashing a red LED)
I guess that the "sweet-spot" for charging in the S2 is so small (and elevated through the bent-down strap holders) that is could be charged on QI pads but doesn't due to its very (non-flat) shape... just my 2cts

i guess you are right about the sweet spot. i think its hard to find the right spot where it will charge.
but about the n5 charger (maybe you mean another one) i mean the magnetic square one. it will actually charge on it. i had to find the right spot, but it did actually charge. i can make a video if you want

Hi,
Well, I do have the same charger - square and with magnets in it. But I never managed to continuosly charge my S2 Classic.

Any verdict on 3rd party chargers?

Looking for a backup/travel charger. Anyone 100% satisfied with a 3rd party charger?
Saw this article with a bunch of them, many with no Amazon reviews. Anyone have any experience with these brands?
https://www.megebyte.com/best-samsung-gear-s3-charging-docks/
Or do I have to suck it up and pay $40 for an OEM S3?
Thanks!

I bought a generic one from Amazon and working great so far but you have to use your own power supply which I have plenty. Eventhough it says for S2, the base is also taller which fits the S3 better. Only $9.99 - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01K7F5F8Y. Some reviewers say watch gets hot but when I compared with the original charger, its the same - warmish but not hot. Even my S2 gets warmish after a full charge with original charger. Maybe I only used a 750mA power supply.

I bought a generic one from eBay which said it worked for S2 & S3.
Placed my S3 in and the watch displayed a "use original charger" message but it did charge, at least for a while.
The charger caused the S3 to get so hot that after about 10 minutes the watch displayed an over temp alarm, shut down and stopped charging.
$15 bucks wasted.

That sucks. I did go ahead and grab the one rec'd by Klingon888. I've had it for a little over a week, and so far so good. Seems to work as fast as the OEM, warm, but no more than OEM, definitely not "hot". So I'm satisfied. (So far - fingers crossed). Thanks again, @klingon888!

This got me a little nervous. I've been using mine for a couple weeks now, and no problem. But I didn't realize they could go bad. Probably not worth waiting to find out. Think I'll grab an OEM...

How does that match up w/the height of the stock S3 charger from Samsung...I don't see it sticking up behind the watch face the way the stock one does.
Seems important that the aftermarket chargers match up w/the dimensions of the watch to have the charging HW positioned correctly on the watch for best efficiency and to avoid overheating issues.

I don't have the Samsung charger with me to do a direct comparison; anyway here are some shots of the MoKo charger from different views so you can understand the way it couples with the watch compared to the Samsung charger.

Thanks, that's the first one I've seen that appears to be the same form factor.
When you say the "...only noticeable difference is the front-facing LED" do you mean that there isn't an LED, or that it uses different colors?
Just took a quick look at the reviews and remember seeing that one, but it has a bunch of bad reviews...I guess it's been OK for you, and based on comments you are using a different cable than the one included w/the charger.
Thanks!

Thanks for the pics, don't have my S3 charger in front of me, but the pics you posted look like it's smaller than the stock charger. I'll check at home later.

The Led on the OEM one is larger. They both have LEDS but the OEM indicator light is bigger. The aftermarket one works well with my usb cables. The one that came with it will go in the trash. No charging disconnects with it either.

Ordered it and it arrived today. Amazon URL: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N0JTDXQ/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
As you said, looks very much like the S3 stock charger, very similar size/form factor, and charging time for a short 15% charge was what I expected, and watch did not heat up. I'm using my own USB cord, because from the Amazon reviews, problems w/the included USB cord were a primary cause of low ratings for this charger.
So I'm happy w/this one for now - see pics for more comparison. Samsung stock charger is on the left in pics attached.

Yes the MoKo is smaller, here other pics.

Bought one of these https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01ETEDPMC/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 for my S8+ plus.. for fun i put my Gear s3 on it and it started charging.. I did not leave it on there to find out if it got hot or anything..

I bought a package of two from Amazon and it fried my S3. The electronics inside did not seem to handle the charging rate. In 5 hours, the charge went from about 50% to about 80% and the watch was so hot I could hardly touch it. The vendor refunded my money and the chargers are in the recycle box. I was using it on the wall plug USB (Leviton) that can deliver about 2 amps whereas the Samsung adapter delivers 0.7 amps.

Post a link to the ones folks should avoid so save someone else.

Make sure it has magnet in the charge plate like the genuine one so that the watch can sit properly while charging. Otherwise it will either do not charge or fry your watch in extreme case.

Bought two of those. One for work (watch keeps "unsyncing" from my phone and I see "Start Journey" a lot. So my Watch tries to use LTE, and the signal is so weak... my watch dies very quickly!) so now I can charge it at work. Bought another for when we travel. Wife and I can take turns charging our watches. So far so good!

Wireless charging worry free

I've seen more than a few questions arise about certain wireless chargers and restrictions, but don't worry. My wife has the Mophie wireless charging case and charging pad for the iPhone 7+ and the built wireless charging on the S8+ is compatible both with and without a case. So for anyone spending extra for a specific wireless charging package keep it simple it works!

It may not work with every FAST wireless charger... I have 6 that I used withe S7 Edge that worked great, but 4 of them do not work with the S8+ for no obvious reason....

link to the one you have....Also are you using your supplied cable?

I got the RooRoo (stupid name) on amazon for $21 and it's been working fine with my S8+. Got it for the S7E originally. Supports fast charge and doesn't have any trouble. Phones in a case and the charger is only tall enough to touch just below the camera.
Edit: I do both technically. If I need to use my phone or I am at work, I tend to just have a corded charger I use. Else wise I use the wireless stand.

happen to have a link for that charger? and how thick is the wifes iphone 7 case? im getting the poetic revolution case for my s8 and wondering if that will work. lol, this case doesnt look to be near as thick as the poetic one for my lg g4...but never tried wireless with it.
thank you

I noticed that the battery temperature hits 38 degrees C when wirless charging (both on fast and normal) while not exceed 26 C in weird non fast charging, ambient temp was 19 C in all cases.
Will the higher battery temp during wirless charging degrade the battery? Does anyone know?

Link to the one you have...
.. look up Mophie wireless charging base for iPhone7+ on Google I'm not allowed to post links yet per the site

I received my Samsung Wireless Fast Charger yesterday in the mail. Man, I LOVE this thing! 1st time using Wireless charging, I didn't know what i was missing....
Works just fine through my Spigen Neo Hybrid case on my S8+

I got 2 of the Elephas fast charge wireless stands for my S8+ and my wife's S8.. They don't work much at all, despite their positive reviews.. When using the adapter the came with the phones, they continue pause charging every second, until the phone gives up and says it's not compatible. If I plug them into a iphone adapter or a pc via usb, they charge but still randomly stop sometime through the night. Usually in the 80%'s.. Going to try different chargers..

I got a cheap as chips wireless charger from Ebay, £5.99, Not fast charger, but works perfectly, stops charging when battery is full, got my supplied charger if i want to fast charge but for just general use sitting next to my laptop i love it. Can just pick the phone up and use it then lay it back down and it'll stay topped up. Was thinking of the official Samsung one.......glad i didn't

I have no idea why one would spend 1,000€ on a device then skimp on a 40-50€ Samsung charger? Like buying a Merc' or BMW etc then using xxxx 40€ seat covers or floor mats.
With all the controversy regarding the subject of third party chargers be they wall or wireless for the small financial difference I always go for the Samsung branded accessories. Typically me though, not all the same are we?

Lol, I hear you. Now behave yourself lol, you can't be THAT skint to purchase the S8+ :highfive:
This is a tough debate. Numerous threads on XDA cover this point and so many owners have damaged their mobiles using third part chargers. At the very least take a very careful look at the specs on any third party charger and ensure they are identical to the charger that came in the box, even then there can be problems though? Its a gamble.
Please look after yourself and your mobile eh?
Ryland :good:

Easy to purchase when you have been on mobile contracts for donkeys years
The rating on my supplied charger says output is 5v - 2.0a and the wireless says 5v - 1000ma

Been wirless charging since the note 3 days.

Safest wireless charger?

Anyone knows of a reliable and safe wireless charger for the S10+?
Most claim to have overcharging, overheating and overcurrent protection and I would think the phone itself must have protection to stop the charge if the charger starts acting weird, however, a chinese wireless charger from amazon completely killed my phone.
I got one on Amazon of the brand "Pictek" and left my phone overnight and in the morning was extremely hot all day (average 45° C or 113° F), battery drained extremely fast in 4 hours then phone died completely with no way to turn it back on (I tried everything and didn't even go into recovery mode)
Also, the samsung ones don't have very good reviews either and I tried one of my samsung pads (one of the first generations, not fast charge) with my galaxy buds and they got extremely hot really quick and that doesn't happen with other wireless chargers so I discarded that one as well.
I'm temped to try something like anker or yootech but even those have a few one star reviews stating they melted or started producing smoke. I'm starting to get very paranoid with all these chinese electronics, just last year a car charger from an also "reputable" brand with a lot of reviews on amazon burned my passengers car seat when my car was like 2 months old

I use Samsung's fast wireless chargers (flat and angled) and they work great in my opinion. They have a fan located on the back to keep the temperatures down and are actually pretty quiet.

I use this charger and it's way small and works well with my Galaxy buds and S10+. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07H3QV49S/ref=cm_cr_arp_mb_bdc

do you have the galaxy buds by any chance? I was thinking on getting the newest samsung dual charger but $99 is too much plus I prefer the ones that are like a stand (angled) instead of flat. I feel is less effort trying to center the phone in the correct position
I was also thinking getting one of the previous generation duo chargers but there are some reviews on amazon having the same problem I had with the samsung pad and my galaxy buds but they are having the issue with the Gear S3 but I was wondering if the same would happen with the buds.
ShaneB 0 stars, either defective or a fire hazard waiting to happen. Really disappointed

Okay so this is what I've been needing to charge my Gear S3 Frontier watch and my Note 9 instead of having 2 chargers on my bedside table.
The flat charger states it's fast charging; however, on my S8+, Note 8, and Note 9 it slow charged it, the fast wireless charging stand, however, did charge my devices with fast charging.
Onto the more concerning part of this review. My Gear S3 Frontier watch would overheat using the flat charger. My watch would throw an error in red to use the original charger - odd. In addition to the error, my watch would be so hot that the metal would burn my skin when putting the watch on after being "charged", which it took 4-5 hours to charge 85% up from 60%. Of course I thought it was my watch but when I used the charger that came with my watch it was fine. So in conclusion, the flat "fast" wireless charger over heats any Samsung device placed on it whereas the fast wireless charging stand worked great.
I purchase every S-line and a new Note every year, and this is an unacceptable 1st party charger.

I have a stand at work in my office that works perfect with the phone and the buds without barely any heat on either but I don't remember the brand and it doesn't say anything, just the voltage and "fast charge"

I do have the Galaxy buds and have not had any heating issues.
I hear you on the angled ones. I use the angled on my nightstand and flat on my computer stand. I'm waiting for the fast wireless 2.0 charger that stands up before I buy it.

Just to confirm, the one you have that works with both the phone and earbuds without any heating issues is this one?:

No, the flat one I use for the buds and my phone, and the stand for my phone only, for obvious reasons.

I've been using anker ever since, no problems here.
