Hi guys , I am not sure of what I am asking , but I am really new to the whole idea . If I bought a wireless charging pad , can I wirelessly recharge my phone ? Can you explain how does it work for me ? Thanks

No. There are some stickers with coil in it that you can stick to battery. I don't know if they exists for our device. Have a look on eBay if there is any that have connectors that will fit to our battery connectors.

Search on youtube for "CNET How To - Add wireless charging to the Samsung Galaxy S3" and "High WAF Wireless Inductive Charging Mod Step by Step Guide for Samsung Galaxy S i9000".
I found these tutorials for Samsung but I'm not sure if they help you.
Personally I would not even bother with inductive charging... It looks cool but I think it's better charging a phone via cable - it's easier to use it while charging.

The idea in wireless charging is to have your phone charging without doing anything like plugging in cables when you are not using the phone - lying it on the table, not touching it. Now when your phone is on the table its just wasting time here.
If you wants to charge while using, yes cable is still the best choice.
I bought dock dk31 and Magnetic charger they working ok before.
But now both charger not charging
When in charge the light does go red
But just not charging.even battery drain
Fast.any one had this kind issue before?
Now only way to charge is using usb charge.(sorry for my English)

A friend of mine had the same issue. The cause was that his cable was somehow broken.
Also check if your magnet charging cable is really mounted on the phones magnet dock. It already happened to me that my phone was in a state where it shows that it's charging but still drained battery. Readjusting it a little helped me.
Thanks for reply
I did adjust every time when try to charge
But samething.
It happened after one night I forgot to charge my phone and battery drain out
I wake up morning try to charge the phone but can't chagre then i hard reset chagre it again.it work again but i was using usb charger. Since that my both dock charger and Magnetic not work

i got the new (circular) wireless charging station from samsung as well with s6e. i was wondering if i can use the advance fast charging that comes with the phone on the wireless charger to have it charge my phone wireless faster.
or will it damage the charger?

I don't think wireless charging will be any faster no matter what 5v USB adaptor you use as the wireless pad will only put out a set current, but I used the adaptive fast charger that came with the phone and to give you a rough idea of it's speed it topped my Edge up from 24% to 97% in about 2 hours. Quick enough for me and way faster than my old Nexus 4 on wireless charging.
While we are on this subject, would it be harmful for the phone to be wirelessly charging and plugged charging simultaneously? Would it do nothing, charge even faster, or overheat and damage the phone? I dont plan on trying it, just curious.

I would imagine that once something is plugged into the USB port (charger, OTG or whatever) wireless charging would be disabled as a safety precaution. This has been the case on other devices and I assume the same would apply in this instance.
The new wireless charger from Samsung supports AFC (adaptive fast charging) and it works with the cable and power brick that came with it. Been confirmed online a few times and I can also confirm because it charged my phone from about 5% to 100% in under 2.5 hours. That being said it's still not as fast as just plugging into the wall.

Just so everyone knows how it works you can use either the charger that comes with the phone or in the box with the wireless charger. As far as it charging faster the way it works is 50% in 30 mins when connected physically to the wall. On the wireless charging pad it goes up 20% in 30 mins. Now the good thing about it is when the devices charging port goes out you can still charge your phone and it's faster then the old pad they used to use.

This makes little sense. If it supports fast charging, it supports fast charging. If it's "not as fast as just plugging into the wall," then it doesn't support fast charging.
Fast charging will get you from 5% to full in around an hour, not 2.5; which correlates with where wireless tech is right now. Because regardless of whether or not it can support the power input from a fast charging adapter, wireless chargers currently cannot utilize "fast charge" tech. The fastest wireless Qi chargers currently are 5V/1A chargers. That's as good as it gets right now and they're nowhere near fast charge spec.
So regardless of what you may have seen "confirmed" online, the Samsung charger isn't a fast charge device.
I am using a wireless charging and I would comment like "so far so good"
I think you should also try this. !!!

The charging pad for me is a convenience factor. The fact that the fast charging gets ours phones up to 100% in 1-2hours depending on who you listen too is already fantastic. I like the idea of just walking in my door at home and placing it on the pad. Who cares if it takes a little longer that plugged in fast charging. Enjoy the ability of just placing the phone on the pad when you get home and have things to get done right away. Can't believe so much negativity for a phone just released with no development yet such as custom ROMs and kernels to make a beast of a phone, a KILLER beast. Sorry, just too much negativity for me. I have owned every Samsung Galaxy all the way up to this Edge 128GB. Yeah, you can't remove the battery. Yeah, no SD card slot. But the Internal memory is so damn fast, I am no longer in that complaint department camp. As for people moaning that their rear glass magically broke all by itself...I have a hard time believing that. I bought a Spigen NeoHybrid case that covers the back with a nice rubberized well fitting cover. The edges of the case ar metal, so you still have that wonderful tactile feeling of a solid metal phone. Best Samsung phone to date, IMHO and once ROMs and custom recoveries come along, it can only get sweeter. In the meantime, I will get off my soapbox and enjoy a phone that far exceeds my S5 and happily wait for developers to do their magic. Patience is a virtue. Sorry for my rant if it offends those that expect perfection out of the box. Yes, it's a damn expensive phone. So are IPhones. And they had issues right out of the box and their OTA fixes caused worse problems. I rest my case.
EDIT: The help so far from users here in general have been fantastic and my hat off to thos that helped me deal with softbricking my phone from either initially using a root file that didn't work for our 925 models, to showing the way to use Kies to actually restore the full stock image, and to ZiDroid to actually give us the ability to at least have a working stock recovery screen instead of the dreaded black only screen after rooting. And I enjoy using apps that require rooting so as far as warranty issues goes, I don't really care. If I can Odin, Kies, smartswitch or whatever new stuff comes along, then I'm a happy camper. Other here just need to do a little reading and search before posting rants that have fixes already out there posted. Off soapbox again
S6 wireless chargin box doesn't include cable and plug in it. I will buy a new data cable and plug for it. Should I buy adaptive fast charging cable and plug which comes with S6 or can I use S5/Note 3 charger for it? I am asking cos S6's adaptive fast charging cable and plug is more expensive than S5 charger

In Turkey, they give it free with S6 edge as a promotion without cable and plug. What kind of cable and plug does it have? Same as S6 fast charger or classic S5/Note 3 charger?

That's probably why you just got the pad since it was a promotion. I bought both of mine through samsung mobile website and they came with white ones but not adaptive fast charging. The pad cannot charge fast with it anyways.

Thanks sir. I have just ordered classic 2A charger and will plug it in wireless pad.
I just received a Samsung qi wireless charger. It turns blue while charging the phone but never turns green when fully charged. I do have a case on the phone but since it is charging I don't think it is a case issue. Anyone else try the Samsung charger and does it turn green when charged 100% on the gs6 Active?
Also when I remove the phone from the charger the base stays lit blue and the only way to get it to turn off is to put the phone back on it for a second.

I have the same issue with the charger. I have never seen it turn green ... idk it was supposed to turn green until i read this thread.
Thanks for the info. At least I know it isn't an issue with my charger then. Not sure why it doesn't turn green. Even on the box it says it works with the Active.

I have seen it turn green when it is 100% but the charger does stop charging when it's full so I don't know how long it will stay lit up. I wake up and my Active will always be above 90% charged (usually between 94-98%). I think it cycles off and the battery discharges until 90% and then it kicks back on. I was hoping it would keep the device charged at 100% but given the awesome battery life, it isn't much of a deal breaker.

Mine does NOT do that. I've watched it from 90-100% and the charger itself never turns green. It is always blue.

I still can't figure this out. Do you need NFC on or something else enabled? I tried samsung chat support and they were no help, have to contact accessory support tomorrow.
I've tried with NFC on or off. I've tried with or without the case. I've tried with the phone LED enabled or disabled. So far it never turns green.
Have you tried without the case? The charging might work with the case on, but perhaps it works slightly differently (faster, perhaps communicates) without a case.
I already said that.

My nfc was on when I took that picture but I don't think it's required. When you bought your qi charger, did it come with the wall adapter and cord?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G890A using XDA Free mobile app
yes i'm using the supplied cord and wall adapter. it is a quick charge wall adapter as well.
i called samsung and got transferred around and they are going to 'research it' and call me back. OMG, for a charger i got for $25 I should toss it. Since I got it on sale from ATT and they had to ship it to me because the stores don't carry them I can't take it back and get another one. what a pita.
The wall charger in mine was not a quick charge, charger. It is the standard one. Are you sure you're using the one that came with it? Just trying to help you weed out the possible issues.
Yep I noticed that in your pic. Mine is a white cord quick charger that came in the package. It looks identical to the one that came with my s6 active. It is labeled adaptive fast charging.
I didn't switch them. I took it out of the package and plugged it in. It is what came with the base.
I don't have a normal slow charger to try.

Since mine didn't come with a normal charger, only quick charger, can you try using your quick charger in your QI base and see if it makes a difference or not?
I bought my Samsung Charger from Best Buy (had them match Amazon's price) and it came with the puck, cord and wall adapter. I'm wondering if yours is a genuine Samsung product.
I'll try it out when I have a chance and let you know.

Tested it this morning and it lit up green when I had the adaptive charger plugged into the puck.
When you plug in the puck, does it light up different colors at first?

Yes it looks like it cycles through a dark blue, light blue, and green but not sure of the order.

Samsung wants me to send it in for Repair. At least they gave me a label to ship it back.
I tried charging by new phone with the included adapter and it did not, I tried a few outlets.
I took the USB and plugged it in an old adapter from my S7 edge and it started charging ,
Any one else with this problem ?

No problem here. Works perfectly. Even used my note 4 charger and it works, also used the micro to usb type c connector with note 4 charger and it also works. Call your provider so they can send a new one right away, try using your other charger for now. Good luck bro

No problem w/the one that came w/the phone,but,I did receive a Samsung QI Fast Charge stand to where the included wall adapter (apparently the exact same one included w/the Note 7) did not work,out-of-the-box,w/the wireless charging dock (indicator light illuminates for a moment,that's it),BUT,it works just fine when plugged-in with the cord to the Note 7.
Very strange,but true.
All of my other wall adapters,Samsung & otherwise,power up the charging base (Only the Samsung Quick charge adapters enable the wireless fast charge).
So,anything is possible.
There is no such thing as zero defects 100% of the time & unfortunately,you're one of the few that got a bad apple....
It's still under warranty & within the return/exchange window,take advantage of it yesterday...........................
I did have similar issues with small adapter. While using phone connected with my car Android Auto phone would not charge but slowly lose charge. While using original Cable it would charge at 10-15% in about 30 minutes drive.

Hmmm. No problrm with mines.
I order some on ebay (2x for about $3) they both work just fine same as the offical one that was included.
*edit
Well ran into a problem.
I try to use my new car chager and the usb adapter. The phone glitch
While it said it was charging it also said it was giving power out.
