Thinking about getting one of these cheaper third party charging pads from Amazon but was curious as to wheter or not I need a special case for the device or if wireless charging works out of the box with any compatible pad. I ask because my LG G3 supported wireless charging but you need a special battery cover/case to use it and I wasn't about to do all that haha. Thanks!

The S7 and Edge support wireless charging out of the box. No accessories necessary (except for the wireless charger, of course).
I bought a stupid cheap one for my g3, works great on s7e...

Do the 3rd party wireless support fast charging?
I don't think so as mine is a bit slower than just plugging it in but I use it for the overnight charge anyway...

My S7 Edge does fast wireless charging on this. Very quick. You have to make sure to use the Adaptive QC Charger that came with your S7 Edge or another QC Adaptive charger.

Yea I just read the reviews. It's the equivalent to the knock off Samsung fast wireless charger that I also got on amazon. 2 hour charge. Not bad but wish someone had a charger that is just as fast as the wired one

Fast wireless charging is pretty quick, this is the fastest you'll get wirelessly at the current moment. If you want any faster you have to plug in.

I have an Anker Astro 3 12000mah powerbank as well as Xiaomi 10400 & 16000mah. All seem to charge the S6 as fast as the stock Adaptive Fast Charger. I usually charge when I'm down to 40% and all these powerbanks when connected to the S6 show as cable charging. The time to hit 100% though is exactly the same as the fast charger.
So guys don't throw away your existing powerbanks and dole monies out for some unknown brands that claim to be QC2.0 compliant.
PS: I have a two year old Samsung 9000mah powerbank that released along with the S4. Will try if that QuickCharges the S6 tonight. The S6 is picky with the cables though. I get the QuickCharge only with good quality cables. I use an original Samsung cable that came with a spare 2amp charger and an Anker cable. Work perfect.

No. As I mentioned it says Cable Charging. But the time taken to charge is the same as the stock charger. Fast.

I've been using this 10,000mAh power bank from Aukey, which supports Quick Charge 2.0 and the S6 does display Fast Charging Connected. I just haven't compared charge time between this and the stock charger yet. All I can say is they're both blazing fast. According to this other thread, the stock charger has 5V and 9V outputs, just like any QC 2.0 charger, therefore, they should work the same. I'm not sure about non-QC2.0 compatible power banks though.
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

Amazon aukey or anker are excellent alternatives. Quick charge 2.0 is what you must get.

I love Anker products. Everything from chargers to power banks and cables have always lasted. I've never had one of their products fail.

I just got an S8 (upgrade from S7). I have a Samsung Wireless charging dock. Not the fast charging dock that came out around the same time as the S7 but the dock before that. Is there an issue charging my S8 on this dock. Of course I get that it won't charge as quick but as far as strain on the battery, getting hot, etc. Just wondering if this dock is completely safe to use.
Should work fine.
Have not had any issues thus far.
Have a LG wireless charging dock that I used for my Nexus 4. Works good with the S8. Great that I can use it again.

Check if you've got a knockoff charger. https://youtu.be/fr4RlrfHIMk
Anyone know if the S6 charging pad will work albeit not fast charge? I use this at work and its very handy.

So I did notice the last couple of days that sometimes my S8 won't fully charge. It stops somewhere between 60-80%. It happen today after I received a Whatsapp massage.

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.
