Wireless charger won't charge phone to 100% overnight

[DanPLC]

Last night I used the official Samsung wireless charger to charge my phone overnight. The battery graph shows it reached 100% at 2am, but then dropped back down to 92% when I picked it up in the morning.

The highest battery usage app was "Connection Optimizer" with 2% usage which doesn't seem like a lot. I've disabled it under the "Mobile Networks" setting so we'll see if that helps. But somehow I doubt that was causing the drain.

Anyone else see this type of thing while charging their phone overnight on a wireless charger?

On AT&T, I am using my OEM charger and have not had this issue.

I've has that issue as well. Most mornings it tops off at 98% and stays there. The fast charger always gets it to 100% and then stops charging.

I'm using the Duracell wireless charger with my S6 in a Spigen thin case and it charges up to 100% (showing the green notification light).

Same here mine charges to 100% as well
I would deplete the battery and recharge it

Perhaps the Samsung wireless charger shuts off when the phone hits 100% and does not reactivate until the phone is placed on it again? I swear I saw a post somewhere mentioning that as an 'energy saver' type of thing. I only use my wireless charger for top off when I'm at the office so I've never had it on long enough to hit 100%.

I have a strange thing going on also. I've only had the phone 3 nights. First 2 nights it charged to 100% on the Samsung Wireless Charger. Last night, I woke up to the charging pad blinking, the phone not charging, and the phone at 93%. It hadn't charged for 4+ hours when I checked the batter stats. We'll see what happens tonight.

100% this morning.

On the Samsung wireless charger, mine appears to shut off once the phone gets to 100%, and then I have whatever I have when I get up. Like others it seems like the wireless pad doesn't come back on once it shuts down.

Ive had the flashing light as well. I also noticed last night that the charger seemed to be a bit more particular with the position of the phone on it. It might have been me and being half asleep but I really think that it didn't have to be so precise on previous charges.

The green LED lights up on the OEM charging pad when it's fully charged.

Using a Tylt wireless charger my phone reaches 100% without any issues.

So far, I've done two nights on the Samsung Wireless Charger. First morning, I had the same exact result as the OP...woke up to 93%. I assumed it was as others mentioned, that it had charged to 100% and shut off. This morning, though, I woke up to a full 100%...same conditions as the previous night.

I've had similar issues for the last 4 nights with Samsung charger

At 1st I thought it was reaching 100% and not turning back on, but it seems to vary especially if you get a message overnight.

Several times (as I tested it also during the weekend daytime) it would reach 100% and turn green then a few hours later turn to flashing purple and a few times it has stayed green for hours

Like a dummy I threw the manual away and there is not a PDF on Sammy site to explain the flashing alert on the charger

Something seems to interrupt the staying on 100% or from re-intialising

Just started using the Samsung wireless charger and am having the same issue. Looks like I'll be buying a new wireless charger for my bedside and I'll turn this one into my office charger.

New OEM Samsung wireless charging pad (round disc) will charge to 100% then LED turns green for a short time before the charger powers off. Charger will only power on again if you lift phone off then return to the charger.

Unfortunately, Samsung did not include a "top up" function for their wireless charger. This charger is not the best option for overnight charging as you'll surely wake up to less than 100% charge.

This has been my experience too. Glad it was free!

Just a thought...why not turn off the phone at night?

I prefer to keep my phone on all night. Never know when there might be an emergency.

We have a land line and my wife uses hers as an alarm clock. If you have a land line, missed calls would be less of an issue.
