as title says just stopped working all of a sudden....no new updates or anything llike that. Tried different wireless charger and nothing and tried a different phone and it worked so isnt the charger. Any settings Im missing to turn wireless charging on or off?
There is an on off switch for wireless charging in settings, but I'm assuming you've tried that.
Does it work when the phone is off?
I've never seen an on/off switch for wireless charging on my Note 8 or my Note 5. The only switch I have seen is to turn on/off fast charging for wireless or cable charging.
In Settings>Accessories there's an option to enable fast wireless charging. It doesn't change wireless charging itself, but only the speed. You might try toggling that on and off to see if that helps.

Just got my S6 Edge from ATT here.
I've been hearing many accelerometer problems and some people say that it has to do with the quick/fast charging thing.
While everything's working with my phone, including the accelerometer and auto-rotation, I would like to just regularly charge my phone
if that makes any sense? (Just to be safe and sure)
Need some clarification I guess:
Is there a way to regularly charge the phone with just the default cable and charger?
Is there a way to disable the fast charging option?
Does it automatically start fast charging with the default wall charger?
Or is it the default usb cable that came in the box that enable the fast charging?
I guess I could just plug it in to my PC's USB slot but I think that would be slower in general than a wall charger.
So if anyone could shed some light on this, I would greatly appreciate it.
(P.S. I have not charged my phone at all since I got it a couple hours ago, waiting for it to drain completely and then charge)
All of sudden my Samsung Fast Wireless Charging pad is not working at all for my S7 Edge? I've tried 2 OEM cables, and nothing. A different cable, and still nothing. Could it be a software problem? Could there have been any apps I might've disabled that allowed the fast charger to work? All the fast charging options are set to ON in settings, but nothing is working. No lights, nothing? Need help thanx.

I know it sounds like the obvious, but did you try a different adopter . I am having no issues and have the latest updates
yes I have tried 3 different adapters. 2 fast charging and 1 regular.
Do you have any other device that is capable of wireless charging? It doesn't have to be fast charge capable but that's where i would start to see if its the phone or the actual charger.
If not then go somewhere that has wireless chargers out, like best buy or your carrier and set your phone on it to see if it starts charging. If it doesn't start charging then it might be your phone.
Its most likely the wireless charger that having the issue though, and you can contact Samsung support on twitter @samungSupport and they should be able to help you out.
So I tried Samsung's twitter support. And apparently the Galaxy S7 Edge (SM-G935) isn't compatible with that fast charging pad. Although it worked for a couple weeks. So weird.
I just exchanged my note 7 for S7 edge and looking into buying this fast wireless charging pad https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product...act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE, it's not this one that stopped working or is it?
Hey, do the downgrade to PE1 with full wip, and put 100%, your working fast charging. Good luck. To me it helped.
Is there another phone you can try on your charging pad, or another pad you can try? The most likely answer is that the charging pad has failed.
Samsung Wireless Qi Fast Charger
I really like to purchase the Samsung Fast Qi fast wireless charger
but I have a few questions about it before I buy one.
#1: How much slower is the fast wireless Qi charger when compared to
the samsung fast usb charger which comes with the phone?
#2: Does the phone get hot or very warm when it's charging wirelessly?
#3: Does the phone charge slower when it has a case on it?
Thanks in advance,
Have a great day!

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
Hi ! I've recently bought Nillkin wireless charger receiver for my OnePlus 3.
It works, that is, it charges the phone with >600mA, but for some reason my phone 99% of the time never shows that it is actually charging. I mean, the battery icon doesn't show that it's charging, and it doesn't say Charging on the lockscreen.
I wouldn't care about this normally, but this prevents my phone from automatically updating over night, or uploading Google Photos, or anything other that happens only while the phone is on charger. Is there any way to fix this?
I've tried one other tag, and it worked the same - the phone was getting the charge, but the system didn't recognize it as connected on the charger.
Ok I have these 2 fast wireless chargers that worked previously before updates. They are not Samsung and have their own power supply. They did fast charger fine but now with the update it seems fast wireless charging is hidden under an acessories menu under advanced features. Well on my Galaxy s8 plus from T-Mobile.. there is no acessories menu.
So I can't enable it.. and it seems these chargers are not making it appear.. and again I swear they are capable of of charging this phone.
So I need some back door method of enabling fast wireless charging or the acessories menu. Perhaps through adb.
Anyone got any ideas?
I have S8+ with tmobile and its there.
Maybe do I wipe possibly?
But yeah it's in accessories and mine is enabled. Sounds like a faulty update?
And my wireless charger is fast charging but not as fast as wired fast charging.

Yea I think that for some reason the 3rd party wireless charger is not kicking in the option after this update. As before it was already enabled and working fine. I know the charger does indeed fast wireless charge this phone as it has all the standards and has done so in the past.. probably the only way for me to get around this is to use someone else's official Samsung fast charger to enable the accessories setting
