So my wireless charging completely stopped working around December 12 called Verizon and had them send me a replacement. Got my replacement Dec 15th. Wireless charging worked up until yesterday when it became unresponsive again. Called Verizon and they are sending me another one arriving today. I have 2 other Note 8's in my house and they have not had any issues at all. There has to be something I'm doing or an app that's causing this on my phone. All 4 of my wireless chargers and the many quick chargers I own are from Samsung. My only guess could be a third party vehicle charger in my truck. That's the only non Samsung charger I have. Anyone else got any suggestions on to what the cause could be?

Not sure. My buddy who had a Note 8 also had his fail and had to get a replacement. Not sure how the replacement is working for him.. I will see if I can get him to chime in (name is "ITGuyJax" on the forums).

Sounds good. I wonder if he or do you by chance have an S view flip cover. I recently got one and that's when it stopped. It's probably nothing though.

I did not have a case on my phone at all. I ran it naked and the QI stopped working. I can say it was working on the replacement phone that they sent me before I sold it and moved on to another phone.

Ok thanks for the info. I'm just trying to figure out what's going on.

One of my Note 8s will not wirelessly charge also. I have done some searching online and have found that this is small problem with some of the devices. All of the stories I have heard said that they had to have their phones replaced. A few said it has happened multiple times.
