Broken NFC possibly from Wireless charger.

I have the S6 and 3 weeks ago I noticed my NFC is not working on the phone. The toggle wouldn't activate the chip and it was deemed broken on the motherboard by Samsung and had the NFC chip replaced. Now 5 days later, I have the same issue.
I believe the cause of it is a 3rd party wireless charger as shown in the pictures. I think somehow it may be causing problems for the NFC chip. Samsung being the scumbags they are will not give me a new S6 and demand that it be repaired 3 times before they even think about replacing it. If you use one of these chargers, I recommend you check to see if your NFC still works.
Is anyone else's NFC broken this way or is this just likely a lemon?

NFC broken, but I wasn't using a charger.

My NFC stopped working a few days ago, before that, it was intermittent, and would not recognize the S-View case opening and closing. I had the phone tested at Best Buy and they re-flashed it, (which didn't help).
I did notice that the upper (back) part of the S6 would get pretty hot, if I was using it while charging. (which was only via the USB plug). I don't know if that could cause the NFC chip to fail.

I use wireless charging and NFC on a regular basis though I tend to turn off NFC when I am not using it. Never had this problem.

Official wireless charger or 3rd party?

A $12.88 3rd party wireless QI charger.

Wireless Charging issue Sprint s8 plus

I thought I would throw this out there and see if anyone else has seen the issue. I am on my second s8 plus that has lost the ability to charge wirelessly. I am only using Samsung based chargers and have seen the issue from the 1 st gen slow charger to the latest that was released with the S8. The device was charging fine at first and then after a few days it stopped all together. I have tried all the known fixes including trying a shorter USB3 cable from the power brick to a hard reset of the device itself. All options for fast charging have been disabled and tested with no change in the wireless charge state. I even went as far as swapping out the new Sammy wireless fast charger I picked up at best buy to make sure there was not an issue with that. When placing the phone on a wireless charger there is no prompt to show connection or even the issue where the wireless charging would connect and then disconnect. It just will not charge on any wireless charger. Charging via USB port is not an issue. I was wondering if the latest update that fixed the red tint was the culprit but I did not allow my replacement device to update at first to test. Sure enough it started doing the same thing after a few days.
Has anyone else seen this? I am due to swap over to a third device tomorrow afternoon. The sprint techs I have been working with have sent the first device to one of the Samsung engineers they have been working with.
Thanks.

Mine did this after a few days. My fix was just to restart the phone. It seems after a few wireless pauses a safety feature keeps it from charging again

Anyone have luck with wireless charging receivers?

I recently got a wireless receiver and charger off Amazon, but haven't had any luck so far. The phone days it's charging, but overnight the percentage never changed. Assuming it is just such a slow charge.
Anyone have a better experience?

HTC U11 does not support wireless charging. Did you do something to add wireless charging to it?
EDIT: Sorry, missed the part about you using a wireless receiver. It should work. Maybe try on a different charger to isolate if the issue is with the receiver or the charger.

Very slow charging
I bought a wireless charger adapter that plugged into my usb-c port and used it for about 3 months. It charged very slow and I soon gave up on it. It did not charge as slowly as what you reported though.

Wireless Charging Fix

TLDR: Turn off NFC and try QI charging again.
A recent update broke wireless charging on my Note 20 Ultra. I had noticed that my Samsung Pay had begun to fail at some merchants. I suspected that the merchant terminal had been updated to reject Samsung Pay, and began to think about how I would make that happen if I was in control of the merchant terminals. I thought that maybe I could detect a NFC reader by looking at the signals on the mag stripe reader, and just simulate a failed attempt, so I tried turning NFC off, and what do you know, Samsung Pay was solid again!
Normally I keep NFC on because I use it >10 times a day to read my Freestyle Libra glucose monitor, but the night before last Abbot messed up the app and I had to switch to my old phone to read my sensor.
I had noticed the QI charging issue, but I have so many chargers and such a that's nest of wires where I charge overnight (literally a dozen things plugged in by the bed) that I had not yet rules out things getting unplugged until I read other reports of problems. Last night I noticed in the middle of the night that it had not charged again. I checked the symptoms and mine matched exactly what was reported.
But I also noticed that the time before QI quit was almost exactly the same distribution as the time it took to read my Libra sensor... What if what is broken is NFC, not both Samsung Pay and QI charging?
I turned NFC off and stuck the phone on my no-name QI charger. IT WORKED! When I got up a few hours later it had charged from less than 50% to 90% (I use SleepAsAndroid which uses quite a bit of power so this is actually good charging performance).

That's odd because NFC has nothing to do with wireless charging, and NFC should not work if set off.

Antenna are next to one another thats for starters.
Also the OEM chargers use nfc to communicate to the phone things like fan status etc. So of software tells the phone no charge without verifi, then there ya go.

is Samsung willingly blocking Wireless Fast Charge with third party wireless chargers?

Hi everyone,
i've recently bought a Samsung Galaxy S21 and are having issues with my car's 10W QI wireless charger. Every time i place my phone on the charger i get the following error message:
"wireless fast charger is not compatible with your phone so you are charging at the standard speed" and pauses charge shortly after due to high temperature. My old phone, Huawei Mate 20 Pro, fast charged perfectly. And it can't be a matter of compatibility because both devices, charger and phone, are registered on
https://www.wirelesspowerconsortium.com/
since they are both certified with QI standard.
I've done some googleing and it seems that this problem appeared after updating to One UI 3.1 since it worked perfectly with One UI 3.0. Samsung doesn't recognize this issue and many people think that its willingly blocking wireless fast charge with third party chargers. So what do you guys think? could it be? I bet that if there actually were a block, many people on this forum are skilled enough to remove it
