I got the Note 8 a few weeks ago and realized the Note 9 would be released to Sprint, yesterday. So, I returned the 8 and pre-ordered the Note 9. I'm still setting it up. but I noticed that it's not fast-charging. That was a selling point that I read . The Note 8 fast charged with the cord but not wirelessly ( I bought a Samsung Fast Charge Qi charger, just for this). The Note 9 is supposed to fast-charge both with the cord and wirelessly. I have searched for the setting and cannot find it anywhere. Any suggestions or input??
Thank you!
Check your accessory setting to make sure it's turned on. My fast wirelessly charges.
AFAIK Fast charging is on by default.

I Don't see a fast wireless option on my note 9. Just an option for fast cable charging. Personally, I always turned both off on my note 8.

Not always. My Note8 had it off out of the box for some reason. My Note9 didn't have the option until I put it on a wireless charger and when I did it was off too.

That's what I'm running into. There is no Accessories or Accessory setting group in the Settings menu. The S-Pen is under "Advanced Features" . I even did a search for the words "fast" and "charge" in the settings search box...Nothing useful.
I also put it on my wireless charger and it showed charging at normal rate.
There's a Samsung software update, already. I have not installed it. I'm always leery until I read that people are getting good results with it. Are the Accessory settings are in the update?

Wireless fast charge won't show up until you put it on a wireless fast charger. Then you will see the setting. Despite you not being able to find it, this phone fast charges both wired and wireless.

If your not seeing a toggle for fast wireless charging under accessories than it's not seeing that as a fast charger. Make sure the charger is connected to a USB wall plug that also supports fast charging and make sure you are using the original USB cable or at least a name brand one. Both the note 8 and note 9 support fast wireless and USB charging
Where did you get your fast charger from. It may be a knock off and why it doesn't work like it should.
Just a little update: I did find the "fast wired charging" setting in the advanced settings for the battery (I got there through Device Maintenance). It was turned on and only works with the charging block that came with the phone. Nothing on fast wireless charging, though. I never stated, mine is SM-N906USQU1ARG6 Hardware Version REV1.1

Best Buy - My hubs, paid a lot more for it than I would have for one. I don't think it is a knock off.

Okay. I read in a few articles that stated the Note 8 did not support fast wireless charging.
THAT'S IT!!! My wireless charger, for some reason doesn't have an adaptive wall plug. I used the plug that came with my phone and plugged it into the wireless charger, put my phone on it and as my little girl would say, TA DAAAA! It works perfectly!

Leeco sorry I didn't get you. You didn't mentioned that the fast wireless charging option appeared or not? Mine also not showing the fast wireless charging option only fast cable charging. Does it means first I have to connect a wireless charger and place my phone to get this setting or Indian models don't have this option at all. Pls reply soon.

Hi all, having the Note 5 for a while and decided to get a fast charging pad last night. Everything looks genuine from the looks of it, and it kinda works as well (it does charge my phone), but while charging it says in the notification tray "Wireless charging..." and not "Fast wireless charging..." as in some youtube video. Can anyone with a genuine fast wireless charger confirm if you have ever seen "Wireless charging..." instead of "Fast wireless charging..."? My phone was at 90% at that moment so not sure if the battery has to be lower for fast charging to kick in (like the normal, wired fast charge). Thanks in advance!
Mine would always start with wireless charging then a few seconds later would show fast wireless charging

I bought a fake on Amazon, returned and bought a new one which is now showing "Fast wireless charging".
The fake had micro usb connector at the wrong place where is the Fast Charge logo, the original one has the connector on the other side near the Samsung logo.

Mine has the usb connector as you described (on top, near SAMSUNG logo). But still seems like fake.
I just brought home the new samsung wireless charger last night. Upon placing the phone on the pad I checked and there was no fast charging. So I went into the advanced settings under battery and found there is no option for fast wireless charging, only fast cable charging. I contacted Verizon and Samsung and neither one could tell me why. Verizon said Samsung might resolve in future update, Samsung said it might be the carrier (Verizon). I researched other forums and found that some phones had it, and some didn't. I'm running the most recent update Verizon has pushed out. Anyone else running into this?
I just checked and I have that option. Currently have QD9 update (latest) on my Verizon phone. I purchased directly from Samsung but it is the Verizon model.
Here's what I found (S7 forums but may still apply):

1: Make sure your using a Oem Samsung charging cable.
2: Make sure your using a Samsung Oem wall adapter
3:Make sure your using a wall outlet and NOT an extension cord or extension cord with multiple outlets and step 3 was what got mines working properly. Hope this helps.

I looked yesterday and did not notice it. It was resting directly onto the pad when I looked for the wireless fast charge option under battery and could not locate anything.
There's actually 2 ways to get to the fast charge section on the S8..GO TO SETTINGS> ADVANCED FEATURES>ACESSORIES>AND YOUR THERE [& ALSO] SETTINGS>DEVICE MAINTENANCE>BATTERY>ADVANCED SETTINGS(3 DOTS ON THE TOP RIGHT CORNER) AND YOUR THERE.. hope this helps because on my S8+ fast wireless charging works automatically I didn't have to do anything.

Try using the Search feature in the Settings menu and search for the word Fast, that is how I found it.
As mentioned before, it did wireless charge, just not wireless quick charge. No searches were successful. So after the recommendations earlier yesterday, placing the phone on the wireless charger plugged directly into the wall outlet (not on power strip in my valet) did it work. Immediately after placing it on the pad, it indicated wireless quick charge, went to the battery advanced settings and it is now there. Thanks for the recommendations and the help. Cheers!

Have a variety of fast QI chargers that all works well with my N5, even with cases (think and thick cases).
Use the same chargers with the N8 and it seems to be a hit or miss, especially with cases. Some work and some do not.
Anyone else experiencing this?
I have the Samsung Quick Charging Stand and a Spigen triple coil qi charger that's a rip of the Tylt Vu. They all work well but the spigen doesn't quick charge.
Chotetch fast charger works, confirmed because I have one as well as two convertibles from Sammy.
The choetech will charge the phone through the Sammy military grade case (whereas the Sammy one wont).
Triple coil standing Aukey works just fine, even with a case.

I have two Samsung Fast Charge Wireless Charging Stands (EP-NG930) that worked great for the S7 Edge. They however do not work with the Note8 (with or without my spigen case). I tried it on a cheap flat (not fast) PowerBot Wireless charger pad and it works. Does anyone know of a good fast wireless charger stand (not pad) that works? I'm waiting for the new Samsung Fast Charge Wireless Charging Convertible to come in (the pre-order gift) but some people say that does't work sometimes in the stand position. I need a second charger for work.

I may have jumped the gun on this. I use an Anker 40w 5 port charger to feed the Seneo, as I also have a Gear S3 and an iPad that I charge at night. My Samsung charger is in a desk drawer somewhere.
I'll dig it out and hook the Seneo up to it to see what happens.
I went into a Verizon store and my Note 8 worked on their last Gen wireless charger with no problem. I believe I purchased my chargers on ebay so my conclusion is they must not be official changers and are knock offs. They look exactly like the official chargers down to the label on the bottom. They obvious knock offs have a slightly different label. The "some people" I was referring to were people who had the same experience as me based on researching this problem. Learned my lesson, saving a couple of bucks isn't worth it in the end.
I have two of the original Samsung fast charge pads (an American one and a Korean one) and they both work on my Korean Note 8 through its slim case.
Think thats my problem. I have a whole bunch of aftermarket QI Fast Chargers. Some seem to work better than others. But they all Work Well with my N5.

Question about these wireless chargers, if I don't use a Quick Charger adapter, and instead plug it into the back of my monitor for power, will it just slow charge it wirelessly? Or will that not be enough power for it to wireless charge altogether?

The problem is that they don't consistently work on the Note 8, they both work with my Nexus 6 and S8+. When I plug the Note into either one it will say fast charging for a few seconds and then go to regular slow usb charging. Then 3 times out of 10 they will stay on fast charge. What if anything am I missing? A setting on the Note 8?

Has anyone ran into this? I meant to post it a while back. I've attached two screenshots from Ampere, one with the phone charging normally using the oem charger that came with the phone, which might I add has never had any issues. The second screenshot is Ampere while the phone is "fast wireless charging". The maximum mAH shot up for a second or two then goes down to the low 100s. My phone will actually lose battery on the wireless charger. This is the new wireless charger that has a leather type material on it and tilts up and down. My first note 8 died on this exact wireless charger. I'm assuming it was one of those that once it hit zero the phone wouldn't come back but still.
