So called fast wireless charging - Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers

So, i buy the Huawei expensive wireless charger, £60 UKP, very expensive
Sit the phone on it, 2 hrs 10, well that's feeble
Unplug it, use same cable it used but in phone, 1 hr 43.
Riiiight. What a waste of money

Yep it's turned on for comparison this is the stock charger
Really Samsung could have done better with charging

Agreed. It's been the same for 4-5 years.

I have original samsung fast wireless charger. and it wont fast charge anymore since last big update, takes near 3 hours for full charge :/ (fast wireless charge is toggled on in settings)

i suggest you monitor the power during wireless charging. it won't hit 15W from the start. and probably when it's near full charge, not sure how near, it won't hit 15W too.
i hv a usb device with an oled screen that will show the power, btw
and make sure your wireless charger is connected to the correct adapter. make sure the usb c cable is rated to support high wattage too.

If you wanted a phone for fast charging you should have gone with the OP6T. Wireless charging will never (maybe in the future, there is a possibility) be as fast as cable charging. Also, I would recommend for wireless charging to use the samsung products, other charges or other cables from other companies can have an effect on your battery. Huawei does not make chargers for Samsung phone, so they do not take into account the specs and how the battery voltages are.
Yes, the charger is compatible, but not build for that reason, the same as Airpods are not build for Samsung and Galaxy buds are not build for iPhone.
This is just my opinion, there is no reason to create a post to complaint about this, but what the heck we are entitled to say anything, just keep that in mind.

It's a forum, we can say what we want within the rules .
There is a lint, and a big point, may stop someone else wasting their money and that's a perfectly good reason to share

the point of wireless charging is so that right before you sleep, with lights turned off, all you need to do is rest your phone on it.
you probably would sleep 8 hours, dare i say slow charging would have been better for this.
in office, if you are often not at your desk, sit on the desk 15min then went off somewhere for a moment, probably faster/turbo/super wireless charging would have helped.
if you are a field engineer, probably wired power bank will help.

1: peak power is only delivered between 40-80% or whenever the voltage is judged healthy
2: wireless chargers throttle themselves for temperature management
3: you'll only achieve better results with compatible chargers from the same vendor
4: wireless charging is impractical for most people, inefficient and all but "wireless"
Buy a nice thick Anker USB C 3.1 gen 2 cable and stop worrying about gimmicks, I get close to 3amp on screen off and that's connected to my motherboard, the benefits of the fastest power and data delivery at the same time.

Soooo, i dont have the setting for fast wireless charge. Wonder why not.

Sure it is, I never said you were not supposed to post, the same as my post where I also indicate, that it is better to go for products develop by the manufacturer of the phone. One saving you the cost of damaging your phone. 2. Saving you the cost to then after buying something from another company wasting double because you need to buy the appropriate charger or cable to your phone.

Heh that's pretty bad.. My only problem has been battery drain while running GPS and Pandora simultaneously in the car. The phone is capable of pulling more than 700mA when you utilize all of the hardware, so there is no way to keep a net positive charge current. Also when the battery gets too hot (above 45°C, I believe), the phone will stop charging to prevent the battery from exploding
Geez what kind of USB cables do you guys use? I dont even use the stock cable that Samsung gave me, i got a blackberry one. Works great. Rim isnt dead yet lol

I use the cheap long cables from Monoprice.. or the stock cable, or whatever I have laying around. I throw out the cables when they get flaky -- but my problem wasn't related to the cable like OP's was.

I had the same problem charging in car. if using usb to charge it charges at 300mah but a/c charges at 600mah. so if you are using usb and have an extra cable you can short the green and white wires(going to phone) and this will trick it into thinking its on a/c. have not had any problems since doing this. i can go on a 6 hour drive with gps and music streaming and still arive fully charged.
I would like to see pictures if you have some.
I've seen this symptom with a bad flash. Something was using a ton of charge. More than my charger could put out. Hence, battery drain when plugged in.

i do not have pictures. i use heat shrink on my wires so i cant take apart to get any but if i can find another cable i will modify it and take some. it is a simple modification. just carefully cut the black casing from around wires(anywhere along cable, remove about 2 inches) without cutting wires inside. you should have 4 wires(black ground, red 5v+, white data -, green data +) cut the white and green wires then splice them together(the ends going to phone) seal it back up and your good to go. this is just simulating plugging into your a/c adapter. all the adapter is doing is converting a/c to 5v d/c and shorting data wires to tell phone its plugged into wall. usb is already running at 5v d/c so you just have to provide your own way of shorting data. you can ohm out your cable if you like to verify. 4 pins on conector 2 center ones are for data. they are open until you plug into a/c adapter at which point you will get short.
The cable did the same thing on my girlfriend's phone, too. Phone thinks it's charging, therefor no deep sleep, and it just discharges. It may be the cable/charger combo, thogh, but I KNOW the cable is certainly fault; I tried it with other chargers.

I actually had the charger port on my phone stop working, but Android still showed it was charging. I tried multiple combinations of cords and chargers, only to take it into Sprint for a replacement.
When it first started, it only seemed to happen on certain cords and in certain positions, but eventually, it stopped charging altogether.

Hmm, this seems to be happening to my girlfriend's HTC Evo. Did you have the Sprint insurance? And was the phone still under warranty?
My samsung cable failed within the 1st month. Its really the worst cable ever made on this planet.

Wireless charging issues?

I purchased a charger from a local company here in Australia. We really don't have much option over here as most companies won't ship to here. They tested them out and they worked (I trust the company as I know one of the owners).
Problem is that it mostly only charges to around 88% and peaked out here and stays attempting to charge, but not charging just getting hotter and hotter. So far max was 58deg I think. It has charged to 100% twice only, and I have had them for 2 weeks. These 2 times it perfectly charged to 100,stopped charging and cooled down.. Perfect.
A few others have had issues as well but the suppliers say it works fine for them.
Has anyone had any issues at all like this using wireless charging? We are really trying to get to the bottom of this and trying to figure out if it's a phone issue or a charger issue.
I have tried it with any and all stock and custom roms, both totally clean and with apps installed.
I have attached my battery graphs here in case that helps solve the problem.

We noticed there was quite a few bad remarks about the lg one on Amazon so thought I would ask here.
So, anyone else have issues with inconsistent wireless charging of nexus 4?
Thanks.

I'm having the same issues as well with this Wireless Charger I purchased off eBay: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/221166419716
For the first 2 weeks it was charging without issue. Charged the phone up to 98/99% and then switched on and off to maintain that charge, and the phone did not get very hot.
For the past few days it has only been able to charge up to 90% and will not go any higher, but the phone gets very hot and stays like that (45C). Plugging the phone into a USB charger gets it up to 100% so it can't be that the battery maximum has been reached.
Would be interested to know what type of Qi Charger you have to see if it's a problem with a certain 'type'.
Mine isn't that one. It's no brand at all. The guys who imported them tell me they tested some, including that you bought and they say that one was intermittent.
I recently purchased http://www.fasttech.com/products/1154/10001946/1142301 and this works perfectly so far... But then it's only been a couple days...
I am putting it down to a hardware revision 10 issue where it is not perfectly qi compliant. The newer ones are supposedly rev 12 which are qi compliant.... And hopefully they work fine with it so I can sell them to my friends who all bought an n4 today (5 at work in a smallish Xray dept)...
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk HD
Is this the hardware revision on the phone, or do you mean the rev of the charging device?
As mine evidenced, even if it works perfectly for a while, it could still not be an indication that the qi charging will keep working.
I'll probably just stick with my one until the 'official' one is released. Was a little worried that the temperature staying around 45C for extended periods of time could have a negative effect on the battery or phone components however.
Kind of a necro post but my N4 on the official charger will top out at 88% as well sometimes, then flap between charging and discharging like the phone thinks its full and is trickle charging. If I plug it in and get it to 90%, then go back to the orb, it goes to 100% just fine.

Double necro but I have this exact same issue and can't seem to get it to work. Anyone figured it out?

After a few months, mine would do the same thing. For some reason the "efficiency" of the N4 charging circuit (inside the phone) became somehow worse.
The DT-900 uses a TI bq500410A chip for control of the charging. If it detects too low of efficiency it will cut off. Luckily it's possible to modify this threshold. By removing the resistor connected to pin 43 of the TI chip it allows it to charge regardless of efficiency. It still has temperature protection so I don't think there is any danger.

Well, that type of mod is waaay over my head, but at least that answers the question. Thanks!
Just to add some information to this thread, I have the new Google Wireless Charger and it does the same thing. It charges to 80% and then just plateaus there, getting quite warm, but not hot, to the touch. Strange.

Wireless charging?

I think the title says it all.
well id certainly hope so, cant imagine them taking away crucial feature
unless there is something better.... solar? solar + qi?

Not quite true.
While a metal shield decreases the coupling between the primary and secondary coils, there are now wireless charging methods that work even with a metal-covered device.

These are not available yet, QI is the mainstream now, and at present QI cannot work with metal in between, may be in the coming years when QUALCOMM gets this right, we'll see them available.

There was a rumour (can't find it now) that the 6P would support Rezence, which I believe could work even with a metal-backed phone.
I don't know if that rumour has been confirmed, though.
Aww man. I've just bought a new qi charger too. I'm guessing one of the adapters should work fine though.
I just want the damn thing to work with my Air Dock. This is by far the best mounting solution for a car if you have Qi
Rather than wait for QUALCOMM with wireless charging through metal, I would rather like to see QUALCOMM or A4WP to release their Rezence standard product into the market, they have products available for the past 1-3 years, but none has made them onto the consumer market, I was offered a test sample a few year back, but I rejected it due to the contract associated with the test, I was told that because of certain reasons, that's why it was never allowed to be released on to the consumers market as of today.
Hopefully they can get their stuff out soon.
No Wireless charging..
http://www.androidpolice.com/2015/0...6p-and-5x-wont-have-wireless-charging-either/
I'm losing interest in the new 6p by the day.
Hopefully there will be some wireless adapters available soon for USB type-c.
Not gonna happen - http://www.androidpolice.com/2015/0...6p-and-5x-wont-have-wireless-charging-either/ which is fine by me I never use it on my current N6
Wireless charging gets my Nexus 6 waaay too hot. Waking up to a smoking phone was the last straw. Goodbye & good riddance to inefficient charging.
It heats up a bit, but not too much. I love the convenience of just putting it down every night.
Cant believe both handsets are not getting wireless charging. I think its great, esp being able to charge your phone in a coffee shop without needing a plug and charger cable!
I use my TYLT charger to read all day in the office while I'm working. I don't understand why the lack of such a great feature. With the USB C addition it might take a while for wireless charging receivers to be available. So glad my current Nexus 6 is awesome enough to be worth keeping. Maybe the MotoX Pure might deserve a second look...

The reasoning is the device charges faster with USB-C cables is lame.
Go home set my Nexus 6 on my Qi Pad and it charges, do not really care if it charges fast.

My Nexus 6 NEVER gets hot while wirelessly charging. Its a great convenience and a big mistake not having this feature on the 6P. This is one of the reasons I cancelled my order for the 6P.

I agree and I'm keeping my order for me. I've been on M previews since day one daily driving. Once the OTA hits I'll still have a month to test and use this one and if need be I can cancel before they actually ship. If the last releases are any indicator we can probably keep it and sell for a profit. Win win

[SOLVED] fast wireless charging no longer an option

OK
I pre-ordered the S7 Edge. I loved it, but I had a screen failure. the local store replaced it. as I was setting it back up I noticed I was missing a specific setting.
under battery, I had an option for fast charging. when I opened that I had two options. Fast cable charging and Fast wireless charging.
so I could decide to turn one or the other off or on.
Now, I have fast cable charging only. there is no wireless fast charging option available.
what am i missing? does it still allow fast wireless?
what does everyone else have? what dos it mean?
thanks

I opened a thread not long ago about this very same issue. Mine never had the "fast wireless charging" and when I put my S7 edge on a fast wireless charing pad it just regulary wireless charge.
I tried to searching or some1 else with the same issue but not luck. It`s disabled somehow and I can`t figure how to activate it.
This is what I have whilst charging with the cable.
When I disconnect the charger I can toggle both options.

Me too I also do not have a wireless charging option
Same here, no wireless charging option [Exynos, carrier-free]. I have the new wireless charger from Samsung but I haven't tested it yet, I got it the day i just charged my phone and i'm now on my 3rd day with 55% battery life left so I guess it'll take another 2/3 days until i will test it.
I will say that on my previous phone. I did test the fast wireless and it worked fine. but now i have no way of testing it. I assume it is disabled.
I wonder if this is a difference in processors? I originally had the titanium and when it died they swapped it for black that or I had to wait weeks for the new titanium.
I just asked about this on a native forum cause I lack this option too and I was told this option wont appear until you use the wireless fast charger. I'll report back once I do. Though I have a feeling you guys already used it and still lack it.
the option is hidden(for me anyway), but it showed up once I place my phone on the wireless charger for the first time.

I have an official Samsung fast wireless charger pad and the option didn't appear once I put my phone on it.
I also have an regular Qi charger pad and I it takes the same time to charge as the official fast one.
The option seems disabled somehow. I'm thinking about flashing the official ROM again to see it it works.

Charging port (plastic around it) - scratches

Hi guys,
I know it's no biggie and it's my OCD forcing me now to post that but that's what i've noticed upon closer inspection of my charging port.
As you hopefully can see on the photo, the plastic around the micro USB port has a couple of scratches/grooves.
Now, before you blame it on me, let me assure you that I'm very gentle with my phone and everytime i put it on charge i never force anything.
I know the plug has quite sharp edges but the plastic shouldn't be that prone to scratches, should it?
What about you guys?Have you noticed anything similar on your phones?
Thank you in advance

I think you are going a little bit crazy. I can't see anything, and even if I could it's just the charging port. Just enjoy the device! ?

I cant see anything in the pic.
I know ocd. But i really dont see anything.
But its on the bottom of the phone you shouldnt see it.
And idk about how soft the port is.
Also havent plug my phone in. I only do wireless charging and wifi file tranfer.
Mine was already scratched when I got it :/

I've got old man's eyes, but even with bifocals I can't see any scratches on mine. And if I could, I'd just ignore them.

Hmm...no scratches on yours...suggesting different ,more durable material used perhaps?[emoji33]
Paying attention to negligible details, I know[emoji12] l'll get over it, eventually[emoji13]

I didn't think to mention that most of the time I use a wireless charger, but I do plug it in sometimes. Maybe after more use I'll notice scratches, too.
Mine has 2 marks in the same spot it's just a rubber water seal.. marks are from inserting the charger they line up perfect
Same here , there are two small grooves on mine , caused by the two spring retaining locks of the micro usb
Are you serious? Jesus ocd stop it.

Maybe I should try that too[emoji4].
My only concern would be battery health. I know it gives you this ultimate convenience and all , but from what I've read wireless charging is not as efficient as the wired one. Lost energy turns into heat, and your wireless charger can get quite warm during charging. This causes stress on the battery as it sits on the mat...
And that of course , is a red flag for a craaazy guy like me[emoji12]

I started using a Qi charging puck on my LG G3. And on that phone, it generated quite a it of heat. I'm still using the same (non fast charge) puck on the S7, and it doesn't get warm enough to notice. Maybe because the S7 is designed for wireless fast charge, the lower current of the regular Qi charger isn't enough to bother it.
I'm using an older version of this one. Cheap enough to try and see. You need to use a charger with at least 1.8 amps to run this. The one that comes with the S7 works fine.

yeh my one as well but too late i discovered it. now i use wireless charger whenever possible
I know what you mean with this. I don't use USB often on mine so it doesnt have anything on it. I would recommend wireless charging. Its what I have done since day one.

I guess we'll have to either live with that or switch permanently to wireless charging...One way or another, it's time to hit the bumpy road to acceptance
What has this world come to. Can't believe I'm even replying to this thread...
