Wireless Charger Info

[Friend-O]

Sorry if this is somewhat off topic. I've never used a wireless charger, thinking of doing so with the 5. Will it work through a case?

Thanks

Yes, it will.

I was having the same problem with the wireless charger that I got free from BB. I read this forum and switched my phone over to daydream and the problem went away, no more pausing. I had never used daydream before, even on my note 3. My phone charged up fine and turned green when it was done.

For the people having issues charging, are you using the quick charge wall plug and cable to connect to your wireless charger or another wall plug?

I ask because I have a smaller Samsung Qi charger that works great with my s6 but will not work with my note 5. It will start to charge my note 5 for a few seconds and then stop unless I use the fast charger that came with the note 5 as the power source.

Once I started using the phone's supplied charger the note 5 charges fine with the qi charger

Thanks for the number

So I just called samsung. I guess they are doing nothing about it. They told me the chargers are incapable of charging the note 5 and that I should try and sell it and add 20 dollars to get the fast charger

So my call was different. After explaining it all they want me to send in my charger for a warranty replacement. They couldn't validate my serial number, so now it has to be manually validated, which takes 48 hours. Not sure what replacement I will get or if my SN will even validate. All very strange.

Having the same issue with mine. Bought at BB, and didn't get it as a promotional item.

I did have issues with my first Note 5, but put it in day dream and it charged without issue. Replaced that note 5 for defects, and haven't been able to get this note 5 to charge for more than 5 minutes on the wireless. I'll be taking that hockey puck back later for replacement.

I personally think it's more of a problem with the phone and not the charger, but just my opinion. Anybody tried the Samsung wireless charger on a different phone to see if the problem replicates on an s6 edge (non-plus) version?

I am having the same issue with the wireless charging as everyone here. However, I remember that I don't have the issue on the first few days I have to Note 5. I was pretty able to charge the Note 5 using the freebie BB wireless charger. As I now fully configured and setup the Note 5 the way I like and I was not using the wireless charger as much. I am now begin to use it at the office. That is when I am starting to see the issue everyone has. I have been trying many things. I can almost believe this is a SW bug. It seems be charging for very long time when I turn off bluetooth. It will also charge fine when phone is off, but who is going to do that? I am hoping Samsung will start looking at this issue. I am still playing around to see if I can spot the gremlin.

I highly doubt that Samsung can speak for Best Buy and tell anyone that Best Buy will replace the standard wireless charger with the fast charger... If you read the fine print on the free wireless charger from Best Buy, they make it very clear the model number that they are offering for free (and it is the standard charger).

My wireless charger is also acting very flakey... I am on my second one... My first one charged my Note 5 for about 40 seconds, and then stopped charging... My second one keeps waking up the phone every few minutes. It starts up by lighting up the screen and displaying the nice graphic that indicates wireless charging has begun, and then goes dark...then every so often, the phone makes a tone, wakes up and the screen comes on again... Clearly something is wrong here...

I am hopeful that there will be some official program to turn these defective chargers back in, and trade them in for something that works (either the fast charger, or a standard charger with a fix).

My guess is that these standard chargers work with the S6, but for some reason has some compatibility issues with the Note 5...

Anyone got any where with this charger? My replacement from Samsung will be here on 9/11 but I no faith that it will be any different from what I've already returned.

My charger's performance is still inconsistent...

Sometimes it will charge it the whole way through to 100%... Sometimes it will charge for a few minutes and stop completely... Sometimes it will charge for long periods of time, but continues to randomly disconnect and reconnect...

Frustrating...

Yeah this is lame. I had the regular s6 edge and this charger worked flawlessly with it. When I got the s6e plus it is doing the same thing everyone else's is doing and charging for a few minutes then blinking blue and not charging. The charger still works fine with my girlfriends regular s6e edge so these chargers don't work with the note 5 or the s6e plus.

I just received my first replacement of wireless charger from Samsung that I got through the promotion and this thing is worthless. It is doing the same thing the first one did. I place the Note 5 without any cover centered on charger on flat surface. After about a minute of charging..screen lights back up and charging indicator turns off and blue light is flashing. I have tried moving to different locations and still same result. I believe it's somehow just not compatible with Note 5. This is frustrating.

I was having issues with my samsung wireless charger, so I bought a brand new TYLT and still have an issue. Placed it on charge at 5% woke up to 77%.. lifted it off then set it back down and then it charged to 83% then beeped like I had just re-connected it.. I was doing this caseless I'll re-try with a case tonight.. its weird though bc for the first week or 2 it worked great with the stock wireless charger
