Samsung freebies, which did you choose and how did you submit it?

You're so lucky. They gave me a DeX Station as a gift after preordering. Would have preferred an SD card, though. xD

Still waiting for mine to show shipped.Samdung said they can't do anything until it's been 8 weeks.

This that have them or have ship notices, was it Ups or FedEx. I'm on Tmobile and my Note 8 was shipped by UPS

Curious to know how fast is FAST? I’m actually using it right now for first time... setting it down at 15% left and it is estimating 2.5 hours to fully charge. Does that sound right?

I’m using a Spigen Neo Hybrid case that doesn’t seem very thick so I wonder if it would charge faster with case off and with better direct contact with pad. I would prefer not to though.

Fedex

Fedex

Wondwring if thebaccessories all go out by the one carrier or some fedex some uos

So just a little over an hour since I started charging and went from 15% to 58%... so roughly 40% per hour on fast wireless? Eh I guess not bad.

2nd hours... from 58% to 88%... about 30% for the second hour, it slowed down compared to first hour.

So I guess it was correct that a full charge is about 2 1/2 hours on wireless.

And to update... at the 2 1/2 hour mark we're at the 99% mark... took half an hour for the last 12%.

So from 15% battery life, 40% first hour, 30% second hour, and roughly 15% last half hour.

Touching the display while on the pad I can feel it warm so I am guessing the charge reduction over time is the pad managing the temp by throttling the power for the sake of the battery long term.

Don, I didn't watch mine to see what it was doing but the initial calculation it gave me was 42 minutes and it was done in around 30!

 

[donm527]

From what percentage was the battery at? Are you using a case when laying on charger?

We can't be talking about a full charge here from 10-15-20% to 100% in 30 minutes??

That's not what I said... I was only down to maybe 68% I think. Like I said, it calculated 42 minutes to fully charge it but then did it in less than 30, that's all. I wasn't saying I got a FULL charge in 30 minutes! I just think it's almost comparable to cable charging now... I'll have to try it some time when I have the time!

 

[donm527]

Ok. Thanks for the clarity on that. It makes sense then... like I mentioned from charging from 15% it charged 40% first hour so I can see that happening with yours. After an hour, for me, it seemed to be throttling to contol heat I'm guessing.

Did you have a case? I'm wondering is no barrier between phone and pad, the phone is able to make better charging connection therefore more juice.

Yeah Don, I'm running a Unicorn Beetle Pro - as a matter of fact, I have to charge laying flat, with the case, I can't get any contact upright at all - just keeps blinking!

FedEx shows my package is in my city but it still shows delivery for Tuesday. I can't believe it will sit there till then. I'm thinking once the shipping updates later tonight, it will change to Monday.

 

[amyf27]

I'm going on 7 weeks post approval and no shipping updates. Samsung won't do anything until it his 8 weeks.

Still nothing here either.
