Samsung Galaxy S6 Wireless charger steal!

[ledvedder]

I received mine today. It works well, even with my case. Although, it is a bit finicky about placement.

Glad to hear I'm not the only one with issues. I have two of the Duracell ones, too. Opened one and it doesn't work with the case. It will say it's charging, then lose connection a couple seconds later. Then I have to play the re-positioning game again, only to lose connection to the charger once more. No thanks. They'll be going back to Amazon next week.

No worky for me with Spigen Tough Armor. So glad I fought the temptation to buy more of these.

Probably not even going to send back - might just go in the trash.

I'm using a Spigen slim thin fit case and it seems to work OK with the Duracell Wireless charger.

None of mine work with cases. Well at least 2 don't anyway. I haven't opened up the other two. It's pretty disappointing

 

[Jaycemiskel]

Are you saying it doesn't work with the Duracell chargers, or that you can't wirelessly charge with any case/charger?

My other wireless chargers work fine. These duracells don't.

I guess these chargers just don't have as much strength as other chargers. They seem to work fine with my Obliq cases, just not with my Verus ones.

Mine works with the Spigen Ultra Hybrid, and is it just me, but does this charger charge pretty fast. It charges my phone from 25% to about 45% in 35 minutes

Kinda off topic, but how do you get the 50% code for accesories? I looked in my box and don't see one anywhere?

You have to register the device with Samsung on their website, and they will email you the code I believe

Awesome thanks!
Gonna wait until the life proof cases come out and if it works with them I may get 2 and try and get it to work with my car where I would barely have to open anything up.

Would something like this work fine with the S6? Is there any harm in getting a cheap wireless charger or is it bad for the device? Never used one before

Only thing I would worry about is I have heard some of those cheaper ones don't supply a steady voltage and that could damage the battery since the s6 no longer has an removable battery that could be a concern.

Psssssh!

I bought my two Duracell's when they were around $9/each + tax. I'd rather spend a few minutes going to a UPS Store to send them back and see my $20 again.

Guessing these Duracell power mats were made mainly for the iPhone 4 / 4s. Because I purchased a few for myself and co-workers and in cases they just do not work....anyone having same issues or maybe found a setting I am missing in the phone?

Cases are very thin an slim and our Tylt vu work flawlessly. Just concerned that while Powermat is the other side of Qi of wireless charging that these were made a long time ago and possible optimized for Apple and very small radius of charging?

Open to suggestions as I thought I saw pictures of it working on peoples phone but I think they were completely without a case. If so guess they are all going back to amazon as we are not in a position to go unprotected on our devices in store or outside it.

I have a Duracell power mat and it works well with my S6 in a slim fit case. I use it to charge my S6 at night, and it fully charges by morning.

I'm having trouble too. I almost wonder if it's something with the magnets. Like if it doesn't send any current unless the magnets are engaged. Just a thought. I'm too lazy to send them back though. I'll probably just use my really slim cases when at home and change the case anytime I go out.
