Fast charge cable with wireless pad

Would using the fast charger on a normal/mini wireless charging pad like the one here make it a fast charge wireless charger?

No, the Samsung regular wireless charger actually comes with the Fast Charge plug. It still does not Fast Charge wirelessly though.
I ordered this wireless charger for 12.99 but I dont have the s7 edge yet since it hasnt shipped but it works on my s6 edge plus fast charging enabled

Thanks guys appreciate the respons
I was told by a tmobile rep, that the old Samsung wireless charger, the $50 one, does fast charge, it "just depends on if the phone can do it"

wireless fast charge

I have the Samsung wireless fast charger and the Verizon 32 gb black edge but It doesn't fast charge via wireless. I looked online and there is supposed to be a setting under battery settings to enable fast charge for both wired and wireless. It is only there for wired. I checked my wired does charge via fast charge. Any ideas?
You sure its a legit fast charger? Mine wireless charges pops up saying fast when i put my phone on.
Weird. On my S6 Edge+ says the same as Ausboy 2011
Does a fan kick in when you put it down?

No it doesn't but they say SAMSUNG then under it FAST Charge. Not sure why they wouldn't work. I have them plugged into the s6 charger cable and wall charger

those of you that do have wireless fast charge how long does it take you to charge your phone.. also can you guys run the ampere app and tell me what the ma range is?
so far from my testing and it does show fast charge. Its taking 2 1/2 or a little more to fully charge.

3rd party wireless charger recommendations

Does anyone plan on purchasing one of these chargers https://www.amazon.com/Wireless-Charger-Tronsmart-Chocolate-Qi-Compatible/dp/B01HNWU3AY ? It's a lot cheaper than the OEM charger, so I have my doubts on the quality. Any recommendations?
That is the very same one I got during the lightning deal. It works great with my Note 5/7. Keep in mind, it does not come with power block. To get fast wireless charge, you need to use fast charge power block as well.

I recently got myself a Choetech fast wireless charger. It is available on Amazon https://www.amazon.com/Charge-Wireless-Charger-Adaptive-Included/dp/B015351V9U/ for $36 and it comes with an adapter. The $25 Tronsmart doesn't so you will need to get a separate one for that. I'm really satisfied with the Choetech one, they make some pretty nice accessories.
why 3rd party ? the Samsung fast charging stand works great and is only $41 at Target. it's guaranteed to work
properly ! i'm not worried about trying to save $20 on a charger for my $900 phone !
I got this for $19 via Amazon Prime. It works great--it lights up blue if it's slow charging and green if fast charging, which I like. It doesn't come with an adapter; I'm using OEM Samsung one.
With the concern about chargers being the cause of fires, one might think quality might be a concern
DO NOT USE A 3rd PARTY CHARGER. Also Do NOT charge your device over night. Once the fixed Note 7s roll out, buy cheap 3rd part charger till your heart is content, but until then be safe.

No fast wireless charging option? Wtf?

Hey guys, one of my co-workers has a S8 (Cricket). He just noticed that under his settings in the battery section, there is no toggle to enable Fast Wireless Charging under the Advanced options.
I've been searching here as well as in Google for any answers. I've seen a thread or two randomly on other forums, one was a VZW customer who apparently found from their customer service, that there was a known issue on some devices and the fast wireless charging option was removed. Not sure if this was in a series of production, maybe earlier production devices? That specific thread was from the beginning of Dec 2017.
I've really found no concrete answers, and actually don't get anything when I search that is specific to Cricket Devices. I've got an ATT S8+, and I have the option and actually use fast wireless charging every night.
Hoping someone knows a way to force it back, or if this is something to be fixed by Samsung?
***EDIT - I just realized that my boss doesn't have fast wireless charging either, she hasn't been able to use the fast charger we got her for Christmas. She has a Vzw S8+.
TIA
It's available after first use with a fast wireless charger. Just put it on the charger and it will be there. Hope this helps.

We put it on a known working fast wireless charger, no dice. It was actually tried for a short period (30 minutes) and then completely charged on a fast wireless charger overnight. Option still isn't there, nor did it fast charge ever while on the charger.
Anyone else have a suggestion?
Use proper Fast Wireless Charger, like Samsung one. Also with proper strong charger connected to wireless charger...

Yes that's correct
You need a fast wireless charger which is plugged in with a fast or quickcharge adaptor otherwise it won't work

Which one?
On mine it's just a matter of whether or not it's plugged into a fast charging brick. If I want slow charge, I use a charger other than the one that came with the phone. Works on my Verizon S8+ no problem

Choetech, using a fast charging brick and cable from a Samsung S7. Works fine for my ATT dev, have tested with another ATT dev (Note 8) and it worked fine on it as well.
I use the following. Cheap and cheerful. Plus all of them are fast.

It's Not the Charger, block/travel plug or lead.
I am, and always have been a loyal Samsung user since the (slide up) D500 which I still have btw.
Had every other S model as my provider contract is over 18 months so tend to miss a model. S4, S6 now on S8+ and had charger port issues with them all. So Samsung changed the port, and lead to one that even an idiot like me can plug in whilst driving in the dark without breaking it. Imagine my surprise and disappointment when my S8 stopped fast charging. As the title states, I have only ever used the charger and lead supplied with the handset and after past issues am ULTRA carefull when charging.
So I bought a Samsung (EP-PG9201) wireless fast charger. Using S8's f/charger block + lead from my S6 placed S8 on it and yeah, it charges but no fast charge? Followed all the settings advice but no Accessories option in Advanced Features, Device Maintenance, Battery, Advanced Settings but no wireless charge option (fast or otherwise) Yet prior to my purchase I checked these settings to see if S8 was compatable and the wireless option was there but greyed out but now it's gone!?!
Soz for the waffle but IT'S WOUND ME UP 100% Any help or advice that doesn't include charger, block, lead, settings, phone case or software updates would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance guys

It works..!!!
Thank you... It actually works.

Difference between Wireless charger Duo?

When I got my S10+ I bought the Duo charger to go with it, it seems like my local store has actually sold me the Samsung Fast Wireless Duo Charger Black EP-N6100TBEG instead of Samsung Ultra Fast Duo Wireless Charging Pad EP-P5200TBEG that was advertised along with the S10.
My question is, is there any actual difference between the two chargers aside from the Ultra Fast charger being able to lay down on the main charge pad?
I'm still within the return period so I guess I could still return it and get it from some where else

The ultra fast is fast wireless charging 2.0 whereas the one you received is only fast wireless charging.

Thanks! looks like I'll be returning mine for the new one
Does the Ultra fast charger let you make the main charge pad stand up?

Unfortunately it doesn't, that's the main reason I haven't bought it yet, myself...
