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.

S6+ and Note Edge - Wireless Fats Charging

With the additions yesterday, Samsung announced that wireless charging would be 120 minutes for full charge.
Do you think that the wireless charging dock which will come out with the Note and Edge+ phones would support the S6?
I want a wireless charger for convenience, but don't want to end up buying a normal mat when the newer ones will have fast charge.

They're still using Qi from what I can tell, so it should work fine. The Qi fast charging spec is backwards compatible - while you won't get the 14W charging, it'll still do the regular Qi fine.

Cheap Wireless Chargers won't charge my edge plus.

My old samsung wireless charger works great but my 2 cheapo wireless chargers I got from newegg do not charge my edge plus. They both worked fine yesterday on my s5. Just a heads up. Attached are pics of the chargers that dont work.

Forget about the cheap charger, even with my Samsung Wireless Charger, the S6 Edge+ won't charge. Look at this: https://youtu.be/SfiGk6C3Yso

I bought a 60 dollar stand up charger at best buy and it works great! I had to take the Samsung one back it just blinked. Three days on this stand up one and no problems!

My old samsung wireless charger works. This one

There are still high quality wireless chargers at reasonable prices. Read the reviews before giving it a shot.

i have a problem and need solution

I have the old Nokia Charger and it works fine with and without the case.

Wireless charger...isn't it a new concept to rob money from our pocket? For me, I would prefer to stay with wall charger

For the record, THIS charger does the same thing with my S6 Edge +. I can actually sit here and watch the battery drain while allegedly charging.

I use a Choe Stadium 3 coil and it charges my phone insanely fast.

That sucks. I bought few Nokia DT-900 when they were on sale for $6. It charges my phone just fine.

I use this wireless charger with the adapter and power cord that came with the s6 edge+. Works very well. Works with my galaxy s5 also. Lugulake wireless charger

Stadium wireless charger is actually upgraded to 7.5w output, the charging rate is faster than most other cheap wireless chargers.

I would say this is a future trend for this industry, as well as the quick charger.

Wireless charging is cool if the charging speed could be improved, i guess that's why Samsung use 10w wireless charger this time, 2 hours with wireless charging compared with 1.5 hours with wired charging, charging speed would not be a big concern anymore.

Gotta love a good design. Looks like a neat charger- too bad it doesn't work.

I totally agree. And I also notice that some brands start adding quick charge function on power bank, if that happen, we don't have to take 1 to 2 days to charge a 20000mAh power bank anymore, so excited for that.

I was waiting for some 3rd party company to come up with a fast wireless chargers. Finally here's one : http://www.amazon.com/Wireless-Lighting-Qi-Enabled-Adaptive-Included/dp/B015351V9U/
Soon , rest will join... I'm so pissed off with Samsung right now, I'm getting one of these for sure! I'll put up a review once I receive one!

Wireless charging

any one notice how the wireless charger blue light keeps blinking if the phone isn't in exactly in the right spot ??

I was considering buy one does it take forever to charge?

I tried laying a folded piece of paper in between my phone (caseless)and the charger and it worked as intended. I believe the magnetic field due to the phone being too close is too strong to maintain the intended current. Or vice versa. Using my case results in the opposite result. Not 100% sure, it's been 15 years since my electrical theory courses.

It works great for my wife and i and we have them both in different casses....

Mine wouldn't charge for more than a few minutes regardless of battery level. I tried it with a different cord/plug and it works fine. So my cord or plug is bad, but the charger is fine.

IT seems like it is the only problem with the wireless charging. I tried different 2AMP adapters and USB cords. I tried making sure the USB cord wasn't coiled and straight and vice versa. Tried the paper method, seemed ok but silly. I have a case coming soon. I put the Note 5 on 2 different QI chargers. Goes all the way up to 100. Its the charger/note 5 relationship. Not sure what it is. There are a couple other forums on them.

Experiment time....

This is way more picky on placement than my note 3 with the oem wireless back added.

Anyone else notice a relationship between wireless charging and notifications? It seems over night if I don't get any notifications, it charges no problem. However every time I wake up+ with a notification, the wireless charger is blinking, and my charge isn't full.

I got all my notifications last night no issues

I actually have been having problems, despite my optimistic previous post. I can't seem to get a bead on why, though. Problem seems worse with some of my electrical outlets than others. Turning on daydream seems to ensure a full charge, but then it doesn't turn off at 100% and gets warm. So, I dunno.

I took my Samsung circle piece of crap back doesn't seem to charge at a snails pace. Sprint rep ask "are you sure.you had it on there right?" Yea no no im not a damn idiot. Im ordering a qi stand hope it will at least charge overnight.

Right now only seeing good results on the Samsung wireless charging pad I have a duracell and it sounds to connect but no charge

I was at 2% when I placed the phone on the charger(free Samsung charger best buy gave) and it said it would be less then 2 hours for full charge

Having same issue phone starts to charge and when i get a text or email it quits charging have to completely remove from pad and put back on to start charging. Have not tried daydream option.. i unplugged it last night and used cord to charge.

I exchanged my charger and the new one has none of the issues I have been experiencing. Charges fully every time. No fiddling necessary. I should have done or sooner.

I will try different outlet but if it keeps up going to try to exchange it.

Yeah I tried different outlets, different cords. Eventually I talked to a Samsung rep in Best Buy who saps that Thai cam be fiddly, but what I was experiencing was not normal, Amma I should return it. So I did, and have had no problems since.

I ran some tests with Note5 and Nexus 7 and here is the result.
Samsung Wireless Charger: Note5 NG – Quits charging after few minutes, Nexus7 OK
Cheap wireless charger from Amazon: Note5 OK, Nexus7 OK
Anker wireless charger : Note5 OK, Nexus7 OK
Used 2 different brand new Samsung Wireless chargers with same results.
If I turn on daydream, Samsung charger works fine. But I don't want display on at night while I'm charging. I'm using the samsung charger for Nexus 7 and one of my other wireless chargers for Note5.
Update.
Used Samsung Adaptive fast charger wall plug with Samsung wireless charger and Note5 is charging normally without disconnecting. Weird..

Wireless Charging

Yup. As the title says, what wireless charger are you using and how well does it work?
I've got an old Tylt Vu from my Note 3 and Nexus 6 but I was never really a fan of it. Felt like it killed the battery life span quicker. So I'm a little hesitant about using it with the V30.

that's one of the features I miss the most since since I upgraded to U11
Waiting for the V30 bootloader unlocked version to get released.

Using the pad from Microsoft that I bought with my windows phones (yes plural). It does well, also a JBL Bluetooth speaker that came out at the same time which also works well.

Fast Wireless Charger, CHOETECH Qi Fast Charge Wireless Charger Stand for Samsung Galaxy Note 8 S8 Plus S8+ S8 S7 S7 Edge Note 5 and Standard Charge for iPhone X iPhone 8 iPhone 8 Plus (No AC Adapter) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B010B6PSMC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_g9N3zbW1NZDSA. Have this and LOVE it. Quick and easy placement. No searching for connection. Have one at home and one at office. Rarely ever plug my phone in anymore. Save the USB while I can. Don't really worry about speed although it's pretty quick. It's cool never noticed hear like I did with the flat little puck style chargers. Charges through my case and I use thick cases 90% of the time. Usually promo codes out there too

Here is what I found, after answering my own question in Q&A...
tekkneke said:
After digging a little deeper, I figured it out. There are two commonly distributed versions of Qi wireless charging right now, and those are five watt and 10 Watt. 10 watt has been widely labeled as fast charging. However, there is now a 15 watt standard that is so new that it is pretty hard to get the pads for currently.
As luck would have it our brand new phone uses the brand new standard. So this means we get awesome super fast wireless charging, but it is very hard to find the pads at a decent price. Older pads do work, of course, but at the 5w speed. I tested and was unable to get any faster result from the 10w pad vs the 5w.
The 2 that I found that existed are an Incipio Ghost 15w, and Belkin Boost Up 15w wireless charging pad. The Incipio one runs $60 and only appears to be available on their website right now. The Belkin one is on Amazon for $60 but is currently backordered. There is another seller selling for $70 on Amazon, but I'm sure those will sell out soon.
Another option is AT&T who has the Belkin at the $70 retail price. They seem to have them in stock in their warehouse but very limited stock in stores.

As far as cheaper chargers if you don't want to spring for the Belkin right now, out of what was on Amazon, Anker's fast charging pad seems to be a good value. If it is still out of stock when you look, there was a Spigen one that also seems to be good quality.
Both have the overcharge protection (according to their respective websites).

Belkin - https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01M5JEUYE/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1507771627&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=belkin+up+wireless+15&dpPl=1&dpID=41LiuXKltIL&ref=plSrch

Personally using this one does seem to work great on my S8+ and my V30 and it does do fast charging.
Anker Wireless Charger Charging Pad

I have the tylt vu -- Worked without a case, but when I put the case on (Spigen Rugged Armor) it only works when the phone is in landscape mode, or in portait mode (upside down). I'm using in it landscape mode now, but may switch to a different solution later.

Had the RavPower charger in my cart but decided against it. Not sure why. I've never tried any of their stuff before but there's a really good deal where you can get it for about $11. I think my issue was that it mentions 15W charging a lot in the Amazon page but in the specs it only lists 10W. Might still do the Belkin one. I just have to drive a bit to get to a shop that has it in stock.

The correct one works great with my spigen tough armor. 3 could, cool charging and "fast charging". Always on sale too. Never would I pay over $20 for a wireless charger pad. But also never again will I buy the puck style ones

That's nice. I buy a lot of Choetech. I have their wireless pads right now, but the one with the stand... might be nice to grab a couple of those...
Sent from my VS995 using Tapatalk

I bought the Choetech listed above and am unfortunately not getting wireless "fast" charging; just regular wireless charging speeds. I'm using the default AC adapter that came with my v30.

I am using the Samsung hockey puck ones that I got my S6. They are working great. They are not fast charging. I have read mixed does the V30 support fast charging via wireless?

I have the Tylt Vu and the Spigen Rugged Armor case installed as well. The phone does charge when put on the charger normally. I've just found that you have to set the phone exactly in the middle of the charger for it to work. If it's off by even a few millimeters, it seemingly won't charge. It's kind of annoying, just have to be extra cautious when placing the phone on the charger.
I'm probably gonna give that CHOETECH Qi Fast Charge Wireless Charger Stand (linked above) a shot.

Ditto on the Tylt Vu with case. Tried it out yesterday. I want to pick up a "fast charger" to see if there's an actual difference in charging rates and behavior of the V30. (As in, will it ever say fast charging or will it just do it and not say it.) I'll probably just pick up one of the cheapie fast charge ones although I notice they all just charge at 10W and not the 15W.

Since I tend to only use wireless charging at night while I'm sleeping, I actually prefer slow chargers, which is why the Tylt Vu is pretty perfect. I've read that over using fast charging can kill your battery faster so I only use the USB C fast charger when I need a quick refill.

Probably the heat from quick charging. I know they've been working on that and that's why charging starts quick when the battery is empty and slows down the fuller it gets now. I try not to leave my phone on the charger when it's full except when driving. For the most part, the drive in and out of work are two of the three times I'll throw it on a charger. I might bring my Vu or one of those 10W puck chargers to work and just top off whatever the drive doesn't get. I don't think I've had this phone get below 80% more than once so far. It just sips.

I have this one and first test got about 70% charge in under 2 hrs. I have a fairly thick TPU case on though. WIll need more tests, but I think it's good. What should the speed be with perfect wireless fast charge?
