Hi
I've bought the standard samsung wireless charger and now noticed that there's always a blue or green led shining and I'd like to disable these as I use the charger in the bedroom.
Has anyone tried to disassemble the charger? How did it work out?
Cheers
Michael
Put a piece of electrical tape over it?
If you can open up the charger, I'm sure you can disable it. I feel your problem..
Lucky to have this at work which lights u only during charge:
http://www.dx.com/p/frunda-fct001-5...e-nokia-more-white-yellow-209238#.VUIa1SGqpHw
And the charger for LG G3 which have no lights at all at home.
putting something over it is probably what I have to do.
sadly I did not find a way to open it.. without too much of force at least and buying another one does not really make sense for me as I don't need 2 wireless chargers.
i find the Light extremely annoying i could not use the wireless charger at all during night time. please Samsung get rid of the light, there is an led in the phone which lights up already to know if the phone is charging.. do we need the bright blue green light in the wireless charger as well.. ridiculous

Hi all.
I've bought a XDA IIi on eBay, with no cradle (An O2 one from UK, and I live in Spain). I received it with a travel charger, for a SPV E200 model, but with the same connector. The travel charger supplies an output of 4.5-12V and 400 mAh. The XDA did not work, so I supposed I received it with the empty batteries (both main and backup batt), so I put it to charge with the travel charger. After 2-3 hours of charging, it still does not work, does not respond to power button or soft and hard reset attempts. But the XDA shows an orange/red blinking light when charging it. According to the manual, it should be an amber solid led when charging it. The only solid led I've seen is a green one on the charger.
I still don't know if it works. I'm receiving and usb sync/charger cable these days, but I don't know if it will light up the PDA.
I've seen some posts where people talked about much more charging hours, and one post talking about that blinking orange led was caused by a low-power charging, and another where talked about it was a problem with empty backup battery. But after 2-3 hours I think at least the backup battery should be fully charged.
I would like to know if anyone knows what does that blinking led exactly mean, and if I have to charge it 24 hours or more until it responds to power button and does anything else but blinking light. Has it to be a continued charging?.
Thank you.
OK, I've received an usb sync/charge cable and a charger, and after some minutes charging it worked. I've got the next conclusion:
Blinking led means charger not giving power enough. Red led means crytical battery level. (So blinking red means no charging power enough and very low batt). Solid led (no blinking red or amber) means enough charging power. Amber led means no crytical batt level.
I hope this helps anyone who got the same problems I got too.
Hello guys, sometimes I leave my phone fully discharged and when I connect it to my laptop to charge it, a small light appears next to the USB port, but I don't know the meaning of this light, because I try to turn on the phone but it doesn't, so I have to use a wall charger to charge the phone.
So, what's the meaning of this light ? do you think my phone is really charging when this small light is turned on ?
Thanks for your help guys.

A usb charger has a low charging rate and you would have to leave it on the usb charge for a while to get it charged up enough to boot. If the white light is on it is charging. My phone will act the same way if I plugged it into the usb on my computer and the phone is dead

The few times the light came on for me, it was when I let it go flat, then put it on a charger, but it didn't yet have enough juice to power back up. Once the battery had a few % back in it, the light went off. I think it's just there to let you know that even though it won't turn on yet, it's still charging.
yes, the white LED is there to say something like "hey, i'm not dead, i'm just really, really, really tired, so don't worry and don't send me to assistance!" more or less
Do you guys think it would work with our Note, it looks really nice and clean, I might have to get it.
Like the one seen here

Well considering that it'll need the battery cover then I would have to say no it wont work. Maybe you can email them and ask if they can make a battery cover for the Note 2.
I actually agree with the comments stated on the video.
It's just another cool gimmick that is just nice to have.
It doesn't charge faster and it is harder to use your phone.
I recently set up wireless charging on my wife's Galaxy S3 and she hates it for the following reasons:
charges slower than the USB cord
Difficult to use the phone while charging. With the USB cable, you can plug it in and continue to use the phone in your hands.
The Qi charging plate (a Nokia unit) has a LED light to indicate when the phone is being charge. That light is kinda distracting when you're trying to sleep at night.
Since the phone has to be charged face-up, the phone's LED notification light is another distraction at night.
Makes me rethink pursuing wireless charging for my Note2.

Hi guys,
I'm trying something new here, My Nexus 6 charging socket got broken but the phone was working fine until the battery got drained.
This Happened when I gave my mobile for repair, the fellow who supposed to replace the charging socket has broke it and now its not repairable or I have to change the whole motherboard (Motherboard is broken from where the sockets is attached).
Device is working properly but now I dont know where it can be charge using wireless charger or not. So I bought one QI charger which supports Nexus 6, I connected it and kept my phone for charging, Light starts blinking on the charging pad which I bought.
I'm here to understand that I'm I on the right track? or if the charging socket is broken I cant charge my phone through wireless charging?
Its been a hour or so..will update if the phone starts or show any sign or charging. till now screen is not showing any charging icon.
Thanks
Sumit
My Qi charger only blinks when it's not centered properly, should be a solid color. Mine is red then green when charged

Means its not charging maybe , cause mine is blinking.

THanks mate
Should work. The one I have blinks blue when charging. If your battery indicator shows a lightning bolt, then it is working.

My nexus 6 starts when I keep it on wireless charger . It doesnt really charge when it's off .
For how long did u keep your phone on the wireless charger ?
I recommend to keep it until it switches on itself

Send me the phone and i will fix it for you then send it back!
Edit, nevermind i see you said that the mother board is broken next to the charging port correct? You can buy a FRP "Factory Reset Protection" locked N6 logic board for very cheap. But you need the knowledge of how to bypass the FRP since it is google locked. It can be done because i have bypassed it before!
I wish my S8 plus was rooted?
https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01N0XZDMD/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I have this charger but on the note 8 (ok on S8+) it keeps giving me a bleep and the message "wireless charging enabled" pops up on screen every few minutes. The green charge light remains lit. Any ideas what is going on?
I've tried it vertically and horizontally and same effect.
thanks

I have one similar to that (amazon chinese one) and it will not fast charge on my note 8 but it will slow charge wirelessly but it doesn't oscillate and stop charging like you are describing. Works fine fast charging my note 5. Hard telling about some of those chinese wireless chargers. Are you using a samsung or equivalent qc 2.0 adapter? If so and it is still oscillating on and off it is a connection issue between the coils or some other quirk with the charger. Do you have another wireless charger that you can test with?

Hi Yes using the samsung charger. Its weird as the green light remains on suggesting its still charging but I get the bleep and message. I might bin it and buy a chotech one as it seems to have good reviews.
thanks
Hmm I'm not sure where the problem lies - I now have a choetech and a replacement for the other one I reported above. However the problem continues...
When the phone is fully charged it pops up on screen saying its 100% charged....then it seems to switch back to charging mode and again pops up saying its 100% charged shortly after.
This appears to be a constant cycle and rather than just keep it topped up in the background it tells me so...during the night this is a major distraction as the screen lights up each time.
It doesn't do it via the USB cable.
Anyway to disable the notification? Its not an app so can't find the permissions.
thanks
