I decided to make a thread on this as I keep seeing people reporting problems with the Samsung branded wireless charger in use with their Note 5 or Galaxy 6+ Edge. I am trying to get an idea of how prevalent this is.
What happens is this, I put the phone on the charger and it lights up showing it is placed appropriately and it charges. It then charges for a time period, and will suddenly stop and the LED blinks blue. This can happen after 1 minute to an hour or so into the charge, to not at all. Often, unplugging the charger and plugging it back in seems to reset it and it works again. Very bizzare. I returned the first charger like this and got a second one, but it does the same thing.
I am wondering if Sammy did this on purpose to get us to buy the rapid wireless charger when it comes out....
Also, I know it is not my Note 5, as my other wireless charger works fine.
Please post your experience with this charger.

This is a built in protection mechanism. They blink blue to say they are nearing the end of a charge cycle. Once complete, green. Then it wont charge again till the phone calls for it. This is only going to happen with that charger and these phones as they are programmed to work with one another like that.

But then why does it stop charging around different percentages? Like sometimes it is at say 50%, another time at 70%. This morning I woke up and it was at 74%, blinking blue, not charging, after sitting on it all night....

Mine does this as well. I thought it was the vibrations during notifications that was moving it off the "sweet spot" causing the charge to stop.

It is seeming more like a manufacturing defect in the charger. I had one that did the misalignment blinking blue and sent it back. Bought another at my office and its fine. Got the replacement one and its also fine. My first was a pre-order when the S6 edge came out. Maybe the coil or firmware were messed up. Just exchange it and see.
Yeah, I have exchanged it once already, and it still persisted. Reading reviews on Amazon it seems others were complaining of the same issue with the Note 5 or Galaxy Edge 6+, which is why I am wondering if it is something else going on.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using Tapatalk
My S6 did not do this but my Note 5 is doing it, on the same charger so yeah there is something clashing with the new and old wireless charging tech maybe? I have my same puck I used from the S6 and it would be at 100% when I woke up, my note today was at 98%! Blasphemy!!
I was thinking we needed a thread for this too. I'm not sure what's going on. I googled it the first night and no one was really talking about it for the note5 and edge+, so I saw lots of the thread for the s6 and s6edge. I'm going to try my wife's phone on it, but I keep forgetting.
EDIT: Day Dream, and keep phone awake, neither of them will work on the wireless charger. My screen just turns off like normal Maybe this is a clue?
Adding distance between the phone and the pad, moving the pad into another room onto to floor.... Any other suggestions?
It definitely is not blinking because it's finished anything. it blinks when the phone is under 15%.
The first night, it never worked. i woke up and it was still blinking. The 2nd night, it blinked once, and i took it off, and put it on, and went to sleep. When i woke up, it was fully charged and cool. The third night, I woke up at 5 am and it was blinking (thankfully I put it on the fast charger and get it 100% before having to go to work). I don't know what I did the 2nd night!
PS: I'm testing right now, and will update soon on my wife's s6 status.
Possible it only works on the fast wireless charger???

If my memory serves me correctly, they said in the unboxed event that it was backwards compatible. Plus, it's a Qi standard, it should HAVE to work to maintain that standard. Plus, That would be messed up! But it is possible....

This is what I am wondering. If Sammy did something here to make only the fast charger work. Of course I have no issues with my Tylt wireless charger though. But I would like the Samsung one to work right if possible. It is just so random. Sometimes it works great and other times not.

Just finished charging, no cutting out on the s6. Weird. But it's not the device, because others report it's not the phone because the phone works on other chargers.

Could be backwards compatible just not with their wireless chargers. I think that's what they did honestly.

Day dream works fine with this charger. You just have to remember to change it to work while charging and not docking. Been using timely with it with no issues. I have had the blinling blue light a few times and also the green light. I think its more of a sweet spot issue than anything.

I did notice that with the day dream last night. After i thought I'd been through all the settings, I'm finding there's still more to discover. If it was as sweet spot issue, why would it start charging? Sometimes it charges for 20 mins, then starts to blink.
Fix for wireless charging issues
So I saw another thread on this somewhere I can't remember. But a guy who claimed to be an engineer said that he figured out that there needs to be some sort of gap between the wireless charger and the Note 5, since I was having the same issue you were I tried it and it worked fine and fast. Apparently it's designed to work better for if the phone is in a case or something I just put some paper in between the wireless charger and the phone and it worked and charged all the way instead of only a couple percent and stopping. Hope that helps!
Just an update, mine worked fine last night fully charged and woke up with it charged.
Yeah, I don't get it. Night before last it fully charged up without a problem. Last night, it was charging fine when I went to bed, when I woke up, it was flashing blue and not nearly fully charged. I mean come on. If I am going to use this, I need it to be reliable. Not sometimes charge and sometimes not. And I do have a thin case on my phone too, so there is a little space there....

I got this one from Amazon yesterday and it worked flawlessly! Woke up and the red charging led on my phone was still lit, as well as the led on the charger saying it was connected. Phone was cool, and it was at 100%. I LOVE the fact that it's tilted/angled as well.

I just got my phone on Tuesday and had the wireless charging issues both Tuesday night and last night. I have tested it some more this morning and it still goes to blinking after being on the charger for a while. I am going to try an exchange today and see if anything changes, but my hopes have diminished after seeing many people experiencing the same issue .

So the battery life has been great, and I haven't had to use any other charger other than the OEM for a while. The other day I was out with friends and I took out my car charger (2A) that I hadn't needed since I got the flex because I just don't have to charge my phone like how I used to with my note 2. So anyways, I took it out because I knew I wouldn't be back home for a while and I would have to charge my phone outside the house for the first time ever.
I connected the charger and I got a "slow charge" message on the top, like if I had connected it to a usb port.. ok?....this charger has charged many devices so I know it works. It has even charged tablets, so I thought it was strange. No problem though right? I'll just charge it for a bit at my friends house and just watch my usage throughout the night. As soon as I connected it to my friends OEM samsung 2A Note 2 charger I thought everything was fine until I checked it again about 45 minutes later when we were about to leave. It had charged maybe 1% in those 45 minutes!
So the night passed and I was ok but ever since then it has got me thinking. I have connected several other chargers and they all act the same, the phone charges at maybe 500mAh, not even that sometimes, but with the OEM charger it works like normal.
Anyone else experiencing this problem?
I have experience this with cheap usb chargers. But I also have anywhere from 5 -10 between my house and work and they are all from Samsung and BlackBerry. And they all work just fine.
Sent from my LG-D950 using Tapatalk
I just wanted to update you guys. So I shut down the phone and let it sit for a bit and turned it back on. The note 2 charger now charges the flex at an acceptable rate and it seems that maybe it was just glitched. Next time I'll be sure to just turn off and on the phone first if it happens again.

I remember reading somewhere that this phone uses USB 3.0, and the rep told me that using a car charger may trickle charge the battery and cause irreparable damage.. Looking at my OEM cable for my last phone, the S3, the G Flex cable is thicker.. I make sure to only use the one that came with the phone, call me paranoid lol
About a week ago I used a match to singe the nylon that was fraying as it was bad and I was past the 2 week return policy from Verizon. Ever since then my wireless charging has not functioned properly. I had two different chargers. The first one was a Keedox stand and the second was the PowerBot
So I was using the keedox charger but after awhile it would just randomly disconnect and the phone would say detected wireless charger starting charge. I tried the Powerbot charger and it went all the way through no issues with the screen turning back on constantly. Well now the Powerbot is doing the same thing the first one did. I left it on the mat last night but when I woke up it was only at 50% and had stopped charging. I use an app called battery widget and it showed me around 60% it just stopped and starting discharging. I already returned the Keedox one assuming it was defective but now this leads me to think its a problem with the phone. Could the receiver coil in my phone be bad and causing issues with the wireless chargers?

I've never been able to get my $15 Powebot (the small circular one) to work well with my Turbo
I saw s video on the Nexus 6 and showing how hard it was to exactly position it for wireless charging. Our Turbos could be having the same issue. Lack of magnet and small sensor.

I have the same problem with the Powerbot. I have a feeling it might be the rubber around the edge not letting the phone get close enough to the coil. it works perfectly to charge my Nexus 7 and Moto 360 though, so it might just be the Droid.
For the record. the Aukey Wirless Charging Station is by far the best charger for all my devices. Droid turbo works great in portrait or landscape

But is it possible exposure to alot of heat could have harmed the wireless charger to the point where it no longer functions? That was my other concern. Im not sure how the receiving coil is in the phone.

My phone won't charge on my PowerBot, but I have 2 Nokia chargers that work excellently with the Turbo. The Powerbot charger works fine with my Moto 360.
I believe the Nokia charges have 3 coils in them, so it is really easy to get a decent placement of the phone on the charger.
I think the powerbot is a single coil charger, and placement is really critical. I think I've been able to get the Turbo to charge before, but only after playing around forever with placement. The distance from the charger to the phone shouldn't be so sensitive that the rubber on the charger would keep it from charging.
sensor size
just my opinion, but compared to the last phone i had, I feel like the turbo has a very small sweet spot to actually charge clean.
still love the phone, it's awesome. The huge battery has had me slowly not being always worried about finding a charger all day. My battery ptsd is going away!
just my 2 cents..
Has anyone had a good experience w/the powerbot? I already put two on my Christmas list
Is it just finicky, or doesn't work at all?
Though if the Moto 360 charges ok on it I can still use it for that I suppose.

I keep one at work and it worked fine with my S3 (with receiver pad). The turbo needs to be o it 'just right' to work. I could live without the beep, but whatever.
I would buy another if I needed to ..
Has anyone had any issues with wireless charging on the Note 5? I picked up 2 Samsung wireless chargers with the Note and on both chargers the note seems to stop charging after about 15 minutes and never resumes charging unless i pick the phone up and put it back down.
I'm also having this problem. I have a TYLT Vu at work and a CHOE Stadium on my nightstand at home. It charged through the night once on the CHOE Stadium (but took unusually long).
Out of curiosity, what variant are you using?

I'm also on the tmobile variant. Would be interesting to see if other users with the TMo variant are also having wifi charging issues.
Edit: I ordered a replacement Tylt Vu (it was within the 30 days) and this one appears to be charging the device normally. I'll keep fiddling with it and report back with an update.
I have the Verizon version, but my wireless charging works just fine. Have fully charged it 5 times, and partially charged it a few times too.
When i put mine on the wireless charger it wakes the screen every minute or so and pauses charging. then resumes a second later... its retarded
I may take it back to t-mobile or change back to the wired charger at night. The last two mornings I have woke up to a dead phone after being on the wireless charger all night. Just wondering if the problem was just with my device or a wide spread problem.
Do you guys have cases on? If so, does it do it with the case off?

No case on my phone. Looks like it's a problem with my wireless chargers as my replacement Tylt Vu charges the phone normally.
The pad I use at home it too small and I'm most likely not placing the device on it properly.
Damn and I thought I was the only one having this issue. Lol but I noticed it the first day I got my note 5. I bought the samsung wireless charger as well from my local T-Mobile store. Not sure why its doing that, but my gf's Galaxy S6 is charging fine on that same charger. It just doesn't like the note 5 for some reason. I've had it stop charging after about 10 to 15 mins and I heard a noise that sounded like my phone got disconnected from the charger, then I get a blue light blinking on the dock. I also have seen it stop charging then start charging again without touching my phone lol, Its very weird.
I didn't have a case on my phone, I returned the charging dock and I will just find a different one later.
No case here.
Maybe there is an issue with the new wireless fast charge?
Thought it may be drawing to much current from the charging pads causing them to shut off. Does any one have this issue with one of the newer Samsung fast charge pads.
Seems like the current slowly ramps up, have seen it as high as 800maA. I don't have much experience with the wireless chargers and a little unsure what their normal outputs is.
I had this issue, I found it worked better by either having never sleep or daydream turned on when charging. I'm thinking it might be related to screen time out? Let me know if this helps
Apparently the wireless charger with the Best Buy deal was excess Galaxy S6 stock and they don't work too well with the Note 5. The new fast charge one from Samsung is supposed to be the one intended for the Note 5.

My AT&T note does the same thing. I have two Nokia chargers that work great with my GS5. Just got it (the note) today and am still setting it up.
Has anyone tried using the cable and ac adaptor that came with the Note 5 on the wireless charger and see if that make a difference?

I have the 3 loop nokia chargers and find they work better sideways.
This makes you center your phone on it but it doesn't sit there cycling, which is a very bad thing. My GF ruined a g III battery by doing that overnight for 2 weeks.
Its a bummer the galaxy 5 doesn't seem to work as good as the oem abb on backs for the note 3 I had.

I tried using the Note 5 charger last night and had the same issue.
I created a thread on the AT&T Q&A section with the following and then i stumbled across this thread.
"Ok, so im using the Spigen Neo Hybrid case, and when i use wireless charging, it may work 30 seconds, or 10 minutes, but it always stops. What happens is i place it on the charger and it indicates its charging. Then, within a short time period, the light on the charger starts flashing to indicate charging isnt working properly, and the screen comes on and says wireless charging paused.
I have 3 different Samsung chargers, a Nokia charger and several Powerbot chargers. One of the Samsung chargers is the newest (not fast) chargers. I take the case off and it seems to be fine. Anyone familiar with this case knows its not thick by any means. Also, i have 2 GS6s in the house both using Neo Hybrids and they charge just fine. Ive adjusted positioning dozens of times but i know from experience that most devices dont require an EXACT placement.
I went to Best Buy, where i purchased it, and this is where it gets odd. They placed it on their display charger in the Samsung section and it charged for 10 minutes no problem before they told me they couldnt duplicate the issue so they wont replace it. I brought it home and the damn thing charged to full charge no issue. The next day when i placed it back on the charging pad, it starts cutting out again.
All my chargers have been tried over USB, and yes, with multiple wall plugs. My first thought was not enough power over USB but clearly thats not the case. "
All that said, i last night after posting, i tried my sons Choetech charger, its the stand style thats listed in the accessories thread, and it charged perfectly the whole night. It seems to me this might be an issue with the reciever in the actual phone. My sons S6E charges just fine on the samsung charger and he has a spigen case on his phone so this leads me to believe its not a fault of the charger.

I'm starting to think it may be coil alignment. Perhaps if we knew exactly where on the back of the Note 5 the Qi coils were, we could align them properly on the charging device.
Got my Note 5 with the adaptive faster charger about 3 and a half weeks ago. On my second Note 5 now (had to send the first one in due to problems) and everything was working fine until a couple of days ago. I would notice my phone saying "charging" and then I would have to unplug and plug it back in then the "fast charging" would appear. Now it doesn't ever go into "fast charging" and no matter what I do I always get "charging". I currently have 93% battery and it is telling me 15 minutes until full which seems a lot slower. I tried using my old Note 4 fast charger and get the same issue.
Anyone else with this issue? Wondering if it's the phone or actual charger and if there is anything I can do to get a replacement.
I never paid attention, but I just always figured that the adaptive charger would switch from 5V/2A to 9V/1.67A when it was nearing full charge.

Try a factory reset. If it doesn't work, get it exchanged asap.

I know this thread is kind of old but in case you havent resolved your issue. I had the same problem with my phone so I called warranty, they sent me a brand new charger with cable and it works fine now. I compared the one they sent as a replacement and the one that came with the phone and the replacement cable is actually a lot thicker and feels way more durable. My guess is Samsung cheaped out and threw in a crappy cable to save cost but it wears down A LOT faster than a durable heavy duty one like the replacement I got. Anyways the new charger is working 100% of the time and has held up for about a week so far. we'll see how much longer this cable last.

Quick question, did you contact Samsung directly for this? Did they mail you something or did you have to go in to a local repair depot?
Thanks.

I actually called ATT customer service/warranty center. He told me he'd send me a new charger and cable and I needed to send back my old one. Got it in less than 2 days. Sorry for not being more specific. Also fast charging is still going 100% of the time on the new cable.

Thanks. Looks like I'll have to give my provider a call. I can verify that once I switched the cable I have no issues fast charging. I'm not having a good experience with Samsung so far. When you charge almost $1,000 for a product I expect it to be free of defects in every day use. Meanwhile my cable is messed up after only 3 weeks of owning it and the phone has signal problems that require me to cycle airplane mode to get data working. Never had a problem with my Nexus phones or iPhones. Really poor qualify control.
I picked up this Spigen charger as the tylt is much more expensive. $16 on amazon new with a gift card. I use the stock google clock as my alarm clock. Charger works great but after charging to 100% it doesn't seem to restart so using night mode or dock clock causes me to have around 80% battery in the morning. Im running full stock. I dont wish to root. Is there a setting i am missing or does this charger just not restart after a full charge at some point.
With the Nexus 6 and this F300W Qi, the phone seems to charge to 100%, then it slowly loses charge over night, it doesn't keep it topped up at all. The charger powers off, the charger LED powers off.
I don't know why. I don't have this issue with a Nokia Qi DT-900 charger. The charger's LED slow pulses, as it knows it has reached 100%, but keep powered on.
I think I'm sending back the F300W because of this.
Also noticed with Android 6.0 (not sure about before, as I just got the phone) and the Nexus 6, that placing the phone on any Qi charger causes the phone to power on. It didn't do this with the Nexus 5.
I don't like this at all.

Seems to be an issue that they aren't fixing.

Yea i use the stock alarm clock and night mode. i dont even fool with daydream as this is enough and by morning im at 75% to 80% because it doesn't start back up. Im thinking of trying the tylt as i like the stand but i didnt want the same issue otherwise its great but for me the whole point was to use the clock and not fool with the charging cable. Thanks for the response. I was hoping someone would and maybe someone can tell us if the tylt works properly as it is more expensive and i dont want to play the exchange game for nothing.
Sorry, I don't know about the Tylt, but there is this thread here that seems to indicate that it is the same with the Nexus 6.

I have a tylt. It will keep it topped up to 100%.
However, if you want to use charging and daydream to show the clock, you will be disappointed. Once it hits 100% and stops charging, daydream ends and it doesn't come back on when the Tylt turns back on to top it up. This is a Nexus 6 limitation.
Charged the Nexus 6 on a Nokia DT-900 last night, it was at 100% when I took it off the charger. The Spigen doesn't do this.
I use the Choe Stadium Qi 3 coil on Amazon.
It charges to 100% and keeps it there until morning for me.
