Note 5 cable quite poor.

[Bluering]

The thin USB cable that comes in the box with the Note 5 seems to be of a poor quality. If I plug it to my new Samsung fast wireless charger, it does not charge properly. I have another two cables the thick ones and one is from my ex-S5, and those cables work without any problem. Talked to a Samsung person on chat line explaining the issue, I can’t believe, I was told I must take the phone and the cable to their technician which is a bit far away from my place. I explained that the two other cables are working well and it is only that thin cable which is causing problem and it is only one week old, but no avail.

I have 3 of the Samsung cables for the Note 5 and 2 generic ones. No problem fast charging at all.

I agree with you. I was having problems with the fact charging, and soon as I changed to my old cable, it works fine.

3 cables? Are you talking about the thin one that comes in the box? Well the phone comes with only one cable in the box, you can't have three cables out of the box.

Seems fine to me just don't abuse it.

How can you tell if it's fast charging beside clocking the charge time? Any indication on the screen?

When you plug in the phone the status bar will show "Charger Connected" initially and will scroll to say "Fast Charging" immediately after.

I have the one from the box the phone came in and I have purchased 2 wireless chargers that come with the same cable as the phone, so yes it is possible that I have 3 cables out of the box. None of which have any issues charging.
