Wouldn't that be something if the old Samsung wireless chargers were screwing up the phone and causing them not to fast charge anymore....

I'm from Singapore, bought the device from one of the local carrier M1 less than a month ago.
The problem is more consistent now. Will require about 5-6 times of unplugging and plugging before I can get fast charging to work. Not sure what to make of this.. Wireless fast charging works, however there are issues as well such as not detecting and charging the phone at all despite shifting the phone's position around the pad.
Have emailed Samsung SG, might try calling them tomorrow.
Do you not have a Samsung store near you? If so, it would probably be best to take the phone in there. You can also show them this thread and how people outside I'd Singapore are having this same issue.
I have a feeling this is a software issue, because I know for a fact it is not the charger. I've used my N5, N4 and S6E chargers on my Note 5 and all experience the issue here and there now. I have also tested all those chargers on my Note 4 and my N4 always shows fast charging with those chargers.
I recently started to have this issue about a week ago. At first all I had to do was unplug and then plug it back in a few times to get it to work, but it soon stopped working completely. I happened to be at Best Buy yesterday and I figured I would give them a shot, but they really had no idea how it works- tried to tell me it wouldn't fast charge at 80%... Anyway I read somewhere else, I think someone having the same issue with an S6, if you push it in a little harder it would work. So far that's been my solution, though makes me wonder if/when something is going to break.

Pushing it in longer or harder seems to work. That doesn't make any sense. What's going on here? I have a note 5 on Verizon.
I noticed some people were talking about chetech fast wireless charger with lighting sensor for just $30, and I also preorder on Amazon. ,waiting for my cheotech fast wireless charger.It is a big deal. Samsung made a big fuzz about the fast charge. That is also one of the best feature I like about the Note 5 is fast charge. I know that the fast charge is only working with the charger that came with the Note 5. Please double check that, It should have dual voltage outputs where the older charge has only 5V output.
