Powermat Charging

[anon(10562251)]

Anyone get this to work on the S10 yet? I have two Powermat chargers and my S10+ disconnects from both after a second or two with a system message "charging paused". According to the official specs it is supposed to be compatible. Any ideas?

Well, to answer my own question - official word from Samsung was they cannot advise on third party chargers. I suppose (if they even understood my question) that may be their way of saying Powermat is no longer supported. All the official Samsung ones use Qi...

Usually when charging pauses it is either the placement isn't correct or the wattage is too low from the QI charger.

I think the issue in my case is the powermat chargers are older models. The original powermat spec wasn't the same as Qi, but the newer ones are. Powermat changed their spec. So saying powermat compatible today doesn't mean what it used to. It's all Qi now.
