Wireless Charging

[Dougal95]

I have two almost identical S5 phones; both UK 900F models. One has been network unlocked by O2, the other is factory unlocked.
Using the same equipment, only the factory unlocked phone will accept wireless Charging. The LED on the charging pad changes when placing the O2 phone on it, but doesn't charge.
Any ideas?

Since to the best of my knowledge the phone doesn't come with wireless charging, either one phone had the Samsung wireless charging replacement for the stock back or someone added a wireless charging adapter inside the stock back and the other phone is still stock.
The replacement back is slightly thicker (I have it) or there is something usually on top of the battery.

I suggest you pop the cover off both phones and see if they are the same

I should've been clearer. It's an after market wireless charger from Amazon. Works in one but not the other.

same charger or separate on each? maybe the receiver pad is faulty
