wireless fast charge - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers

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.

Just use the USB 3.0 charging cable. Not much else to do. The charging speed might be different for wall vs. computer.

What is the USB 3 charging cable? what kind of cable is included in the original package? I also suffers from slow charging, might be because I connected the USB cable to an iPhone usb adapter (because I have US plug, and i'm using EU).

It means that charging faster will reduce the overall life of your battery because the battery and phone doesn't support it. The Galaxy S5 supports USB 3.0 and Qualcomm Fast Charge.
Also, the fast charge on your Ace 2 just means that it will draw maximum power from USB ports. It doesn't change charge speed with a wall adapter.

a ok,so the ace 2 gave you the ability to charge it faster than the normal with the disadvantage is that it reduce the battery life..

My gfs s5 is charging so slow. About 2 hours charge it goes up by only 20/30%. I am guessing this isn't normal? That is using the wall charger and not sub.

seems a bit slow.. you are using the adapter it comes with? are you doing anything intensive with it while it charges? ex skype or something?
Use the original cable and adapter. If you think that's too slow to charge, like taking up to 5 hours, that's unusual. Let your carrier or the store check it for you.

Yeah, using the cable and adapter it came with. Nothing is getting used when it is charging. It must have taken about 6hrs to charge during the night.

does it take long if it is charging while off as well?
This is just wrong. I think my charge is almost 1% per minute - pretty quick.
Hi. I have a G900F and I have noticed that my new S5 charges much slower than my old S3.
If I check it with "Galaxy Charging Current" or GSam Battery Monitor" it says that only 450mA is used even though I have connected the phone to my Laptop using a USB3.0 cable on a USB3.0 port.....
Any advice please. Thank you!

Using Samsung Fast Charger To Charge Phone?

So I my moto charger got destroyed by my dang dog and I'm using a Samsung Fast Charger that came with my wife's note 5. It just says "charging" and its still very slow. It's 2.0a at 5v I believe or 1.6a at 9 or 10v. Yet its still slow. Any recommendations? On marshmallow.
Can anyone help shed light on this?

That's not a qc charger. Hence the slow charging. It's 5v only whereas quick chargers also do 9 and 12 volt.

I don't think the Samsung ones use quick charge 2.0. Even though the galaxy s6/note 5 can use quick charge 2.0 capable charger. I think they use a proprietary Samsung fast charge tech in their own chargers.
So it would charge your phone but at the regular 5v2a. I would recommend getting a quick charge 2.0 capable charger. I have a couple from tronsmart and they are great.

Well I've used the Samsung charger and it says "5v @ 2.0 and then says 9v @1.6. I have it hooked up but its so very very slow. I'm getting 2% charge every 30 mins or so. I ran ampere and I'm getting 3.7V and its stuck on " charging via USB". Anyway to change that from USB to AC? THANK YOU guys for chiming in. I have 6 cords and 3 bricks, 2 Samsung and one of.
My note 4 chargers power charges my MXPE and fast charger.

It's showing 'usb charger', which should be very very slow...
you sure you are connected to a wall charger?
It should say 'AC Charger'
I have the power brick in the wall and cable running from it to the phone.

Not if it's the typical 5volt 2amp version. Couple that up with the fact the moto X pure is picky about what quick chargers even work with it period and you have a harder time finding one that works.
Start by reading this thread.. then get yourself a replacement that has been reported to work with this phone.

For what it is worth, the Asus quick charger that came with my ZenFone2 charges the MXPE like a champ. Is there a better spot for me to share that information?

I have the Aukey quick charger as my office spare, and it works quite well. Not as fast as the motorola turbo charger, but quite faster than regular 2A chargers.
Guys or ladies, got a new charger from Motorola and it charges "charging USB" and its slow as hell charging. Any ideas? Stock marshmallow.
I got a new Motorola fast charger sent to me but I plug it in and I get "charging over USB" and charging very slow. Why? Stock marshmallow.

If it isn't the Turbopower 25 like this one then that's your problem. The phone might not be getting enough voltage.

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 charging very slow to none... anyone?

Mine is very very slow, sometimes only added 1% after an hour of fast charging.
Though when i turn off fast charging on the phone, it charges normally (faster than when fast charging is switched on).
I'm using the Samsung original fast charger (the new tilted model) by the way.
Anyone experiencing the same problem? looks like a firmware issue?
Most times you have to reposition the phone until it says that it's actually fast wireless charging. Kinda Irritating. Also make sure the fast wireless option is turned on in the settings.

No such problems here. Drop it on the fast charger as it lands and away it goes in fast charger mode. Are you sure you have it enabled in settings......

What charger are you using? Are you verifying each time that it's actually fast charging?
Sent from my SM-G935T using Tapatalk
I use a Samsung fast wireless charger. Now I also remember that if you don't have the Samsung one then go to your local store where they do have one and land your phone on it. I read that the fast charging wireless feature only starts working after you use a genuine Samsung fast wireless charger, but remains functional thereafter.
Yes it says fast charging and I can tell by the short time from empty to full charge (usually around 1.5 hours) approximately.

yes as mentioned i'm using the original samsung wireless fast charger, the latest model which it's at an angle so there won't be the problem of misplacement. and yes again fast charging is turned on, cables, adapter are all original stuff that came with the phone.......

S7 Edge (Exynos), using Samsung tilted wireless charger with phone original adapter / cable. Phone it's saying fast wireless charging, but is only fully charging in about 4.5 - 5 hours (starting from 10% or lower).
Tests from 45% took same, about 2.5-3 hours.
Charging by cable: about 1.5 to 2 hours. Also saying fast charging.
Samsung is waiting for me with phone and charger to test them in their shop.
Will keep you updated.
agreed, have noticed that it occasionally shows normal charging rate when in fact attached to a quick charge source... reboot/replug always seems to fix but I've learned to check each time I plug it in so that I don't come back in an hour to find it's barely moved

Fast charging by cable, normally takes ~100mins from 0-100% on S7 Edge. However, my S7E has the same problem as yours with mine charging at average 25% per hour with and without the wireless fast charge option checked.

Samsung wireless convertible qi charger

I bought my wife the convertible charger and it says fast charging but for instance the phone is on 37% and it says 2 hours and 6 min to full charge. I plugged it into the wall at 37% and it says 1 hour 8 min. Any ideas? I will return if I can't fix it that is unacceptable

First of all turn on Fast Wireless Charging. By default it's not on. You have to tap on the notification you get when charging starts. You are jumped to the charging settings and there you can activate it.
Second thing, Wireless charging is, as just said here, not as fast as wire in Fast Charging. Wireless Fast Charging should be something better then normal cable Charging (no Fast Charging).
Ok thanks. I returned it. I guess if that's the case I don't like wireless charging. And 90 bucks for something that's not fast charging sucks balls. Luckily I was on the 10th day of my 14 day trial
