/Will the S8 snapdragon use the 2.0, 3.0 or 4.0 wireless charging? - Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers

I have a bad feeling it will be the quick charging 3.0. s7 used 2.0
https://www.qualcomm.com/products/snapdragon/devices/all?feature=Quick Charge 2.0
Snapdragon 835 supports quick charging 4.0
https://www.qualcomm.com/products/snapdragon/processors/835
But that doen't mean Samsung will use it, as I belive the exynous cpus are only able to support 2.0

2.0

^ This. There's been images going around about it being 2.0, as well as people saying it when they're unboxing the device.

Samsung's always used their own Adaptive Fast Charging mechanism since a Qualcomm solution obviously wouldn't work on Exynos phones.
From GSMArena...
Samsung is still sticking with its Adaptive Fast Charging solution. Frankly, it does a good job topping the 3,500mAh battery in about 90 minutes. There is also support for Qualcomm's Quick Charge 2.0.​

Why is your thread title about wireless charging and your question has NOTHING to do with wireless charging?

Pretty sure it's only QC2.0 equivalent. In fact, I believe the supplied charger is only 15W.

Well the Note 7 you could use a 25W charger. I wonder if the S8 could as well.

Question is whether the phone will use the full 25W to charge.

That's an accessory when I bought the Note 7. It's a 25W charger they had which I kept. Didn't want to send it back for a refund as I figured there would eventually be other devices that would use it.

I've seen this before. But I don't know (and don't think) it charges the Note 7 at 25W. Still limited to 15W.
Only the Samsung pro tablets charge at 25W.

Back when it had the Note 7 for sale it was a selling point that it would charge the Note 7 faster. Not 100% sure if it was true because by the time I got it the Note 7 were recalled twice. Since they stopped selling the Note 7 they change the verbiage.

Therefore,Asus Zenfone Max this time sells at $139.99 with large 5,000mAh battery, will it compete with other smartphones like Xiaomi Redmi 3?
I think the xiaomi redmi 3 is better, i buy it today, so i waiting.
It seems that more and more mobiles equipped with large battery nowadays.
Just wondering how the performance.
Battery 5000 is very cool but ... adreno 306 and this soc don't convince me.
I will wait how it run.
Anyway, $139.99 seems a good price for me

yeah, it seems it has become the tendency, as you know ulefone power has 6050mAh battery, oukitel k10000 has 10000mAh battery, xiaomi redmi 3 has 4000mAh battery, now it's Asus zenfone max has 5000mAh battery. I guess it has become more hot in its battery.
Now no one will complain about battery finish in a day problems.
Use it in heavy apps or over WiFi without thinking about battery.

No fast wireless charging option on tmobile S7 edge?

Hey guys,
I am not seeing the fast wireless charging option on my silver Tmobile S7 Edge. I see the fast cable option, but beneath that is supposed to be the fast wireless charging option, according to reviews I have seen online. Anyone else in the same boat?

Anyone have any guesses as to why some of us have this option and some of us dont? Exynos versus SD? I thought all US phones were SD anyway? I need to go find that app that tells you exactly what hardware you have including camera sensors....
EDIT: I downloaded AIDA64 app and checked all the hardware. SD820 and Sony IMX260 as expeted. Front camera is weird - "SLSI_S5K4E6XX"
DId you guys check the accessories area and see if you unchecked the option in there?

I have the S7 Edge in silver that came on Tuesday and have the Wireless Fast Charging option and have used it the past two nights with no issue. I am using the same fast wireless charger that I had for my Note 5.

Samsung Adaptive Fast charger stock?

So I'm ordering the phone from the UK which means the charger won't work for me here in the US. I was wondering if this samsung adaptive fast charger is the same that comes as stock in the US model, I don't want to miss out on Quick Charge 2.0 so I gotta make sure this one's right otherwise I might end up with a slower charging phone than my current N5 which charges very fast.
These all say output is 5V and 1amp? How does this compare to a wired charger?

It is. Even in the USA, with your lower voltage plugs, it's still 10x what fast charging bricks drawer. Should have no problems at all.
If you try and use 1 with a plug adapter, just make sure it'll pass it through at the correct voltage (although I dunno why it wouldn't). Or you could just order a US charging brick fro Samsung. It's all good.
I'll be using mine in the USA towards the end of the year. So I'm curious to see if if it's all good for you.

I can get the same US charger for like 8-12 bucks from Amazon/Ebay so I think I'll just buy that since I don't plan on going to Europe any time soon. And yeah a plug adapter would probably work but I think I'm better off with the US plug charger since it's pretty cheap.

That's the best idea. The brick you have is for UK only, not Europe anyway. They use a 2 pin plug in Europe, but instead of flat pins they use round.
Whereas it's 3 for the UK because we earth all our plugs, so the long pin goes in first as it's the earthed one.
For sure for the sake of 12 bucks.

Will the 2016 gear vr work on the galaxy s8?

Hi I have a 2016 gear vr with usb type C and I'm thinking of getting the new galaxy s8, so I was wondering if the 2016 gear vr will work on the galaxy s8 or not?
I was just about to post the exact same question and it brought me here!
I have the 2016 VR too, but searching the web doesn't bring up any answers as to whether it will work with the S8. I think the S8+ might be too big for it but the S8 isn't far from the size of the S7 Edge.
Hoping someone can confirm this.
.
It might work..not sure though. I compared the s8+ to my note 7 and it's almost the exact same width and slightly taller.

I just checked but the seller I got mine from has no stock. Can't find anymore listings for it on ebay either. Part number is GH98-40350A. The connector would have come with your gear vr. Usually it'll have the micro usb one installed and the usb c one in the box

I can confirm that the Gear VR that became available with the Note 7 works with the S8 Plus. There are two [2] positions that can be selected before inserting the S8 Plus. I use the one closer marked A. The one marked B is too tight and does not work. See my image here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...vr-s8-plus-t3592919/post71964224#post71964224
It won't work with the S8+ the adapter makes it too long g to fit, nearly an inch or more longer than it'd need to be to work. I have the S8+ and 2016 VR which I was told would work because the adapter to USB C wraps around d the USB micro making it no longer...well the T-Mobile rep was wrong so I'll be going in today to see what they can do so since that's the only reason I upgraded from my S7 Edge. I'm pissed..

The 2016 Gear VR (SM-R323, I believe) works flawlessly with the S8. I got mine off of ebay from someone who got their Gear VR with an S7 but never even opened the box. There was a USB-C connector already attached to the Gear VR from the box and also a separate exchangeable MicroUSB connector for older models.
I have both, the one that came out in 2016 with Note 7 and the one with S8. They seem to be identical in size and the only difference is the remote control, which older gear didn't come with. Make sure you have proper connector attached (there are 2) and adjust position to either A or B, depending on size of the phone. I didn't even notice width adjustment until very recently
Hi. I have S8+ and gear vr 2016. The vr is exactly the same as the 2017 version, just different colour. You can get a usb c connector on eBay and it will work as it should:laugh:

It will not due to the fact that one doesn't use a type C
If you are talking about the one with the Note 7 the probably that one is the one given to use as it has the ability to do either or.

It wouldn't fit period. The adapter is way too large even if you stripped all the plastic away and tried making it smaller.
There's a reason why Samsung made a new one where you can change the end.

That is shameful. I was hoping it will still work as I left the small adapter at work. Now I need to constantly borrow my wifes S7 edge. She won't like that.
If you have an 8 then you should have a new come coming.

For reference. You see where the black plastic Is? Probably 2-3mm where the metal meets the plastic is where the end of the USBC needs to be to even allow a device to fit with an adapter.
Your best option is to wait for the one that comes with your preorder. If you bought it 3rd party then your best bet is to buy a new one.
Or you can give your wife the 8 and you sport the 7 if VR is important to you.

UK pre-orders do not come with Gear VR, but some with Bluetooth speaker. New gear VR cost like £150 whichbis way to much for what it has to offer.
No way my wife will get my new toy. Lol

That sucks. I took the $99 bundle and probably sell off all of it except the headphones. I need another pair as my old ones are like 4 years old. I have people lined up already where I will get paid $40 just to have those headphones.
