question about new wireless charger

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.

Not all QI fast chargers working with N8

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.

did you use the note 8 plug for this? i have the same charger which i got for the n7 and been using it for the s7.
the s7 will say fast wireless charging but with the note 8 it just says wireless charging and the time at 31% is 2h24m. in both these setups its using a sammy n7 charge plug.

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 have 2 of those same Samsung adaptive fast charging stands and they work perfectly. One is on my desk and the other on my night stand. What's the deal?

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.

I have an older samsung fast charger that samsung says is not compatible, even though thier own website shows it is. Contacting the Qi alliance to suggest samsung isn't compatible.

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?

Probably won't have enough power. Definitely won't fast charge. Those need to be plugged into a fast charger

The Fast Charge option does not appear in the settings menu unlike my Note 5! I have not been able to use my Samsung vertical Fast Charger with my Note 8 but I can with my Note FE!

Not there. According to the manual should be under Advanced Settings under Battery under Device Maintenance

Weird. Wonder if it's different from a carrier version vs. an unlocked. Try a search for Fast Wireless Charging

Magnetic charging tip

Hello everybody and happy new year!
My original super fast charger which came with the phone won't magnetically charge my note 20 ultra
with the charging cable which I used with my Samsung note 8. I already ordered new pd 60w quality cables+new pd magnetic adapters.
Since I did not find any information -Do I have to buy new magnetic tips (which are stuck in the phone) or can I use the same tip which I used with my note 8? Are there any differences between tips?
Thanks for your help.
Eran
P.S - I am using my Samsung note 8 charger with the magnetic cable adapter in the mean time. The only problem is the slower charge....

If the previous setup didn't work for the new phone, you'll need the new tips too, most likely.
However, especially at the 25W fast charging speeds of the phone, I'd recommend you steer far, far away from magnetic chargers. Sure, it sounds like a nice idea, reducing the stress on the USB port, easy tear-away charging, and so on, but since most of these chargers are incredibly low quality, with bad contacts, you can expect a lot of loss, which manifests in the shape of heat. I remember with my Note8 I did the same, and the phone would get uncomfortably hot - and that was only 15W. Imagine what 25W would do.
The only magnetic chargers I trust are the ones specifically made and tested for the device - e.g. Apple's (old) MagSafe on MacBooks. And even those had heating issues.

The super faster charger doesnt play nice with alot devices iv come to find. I had an issue using a 2 in 1 charger/ aux adapter. The charger kept connecting and disconnecting. It seems to be some thing special to that brick specifically. Especially since its a 45w charger and I tried a ravpower 45w charger and it did not super fast charge my phone. Soo, yea. Super fast charging will only happen by way of samsungs official charger... which doesnt like alot other add-on devices (dongles, magnetic tips, ect).

Question Compatible 15w wireless chargers?

Hi guys,
I've noticed Samsung S21 ultra supports 15w wireless charging - I was just wondering if all 15w wireless chargers were compatible? Or whether they specifically have to support "Samsung fast charge 2.0" - like the official chargers?
Wondering what others have bought? Let me know! Thanks!

I've been doing some research, I know that Samsung devices are supported by QC 3.0... but just wondered if this is true for wireless charging? Will generic 15w wireless chargers work? Would be much cheaper!

While generic 15w chargers will work, there are other factors that needs to be considered. Such as what kind of brick you are using with the charger and things like how thick the case you are using.
Sammy only have one 15w charger and that is OG stand. The other sammy fast wireless charger is 9w (input still requires 15w though)
Can't comment whether which 15w is reliable or not as they are 3rd party and varies from company to company.

A fair point. I guess if you use a QC 3.0 brick with at least 15w output - with a 15w wireless charging pad it should theoretically work then?
Be interesting to see which ones people find works for them!

Probably works but wireless charging is inefficient and needlessly raises the battery temp which is detrimental to its longevity in the long run.

An 8 W Samsung wireless charger does not heat up the S21 ultra more than the 15 W charger I have (this cames with my Note 9). I would think a 25 Watt charger would heat it up more. The reason I bought the wireless charger was for my Note 9 and now the S21 ultra is that my Note 9, despite considerable babying, is showing some issues with the socket (it often will show cable charging instead of fast charging and despite changing cables, cleaning out the socket with compressed air and a toothbrush etc). So yes, in general you are correct but socket wear must not be discounted.

I hear what you're saying about the port. I do a lot of partial midrange charges so 3-4 times a day isn't uncommon.
The biggest thing is not to hit/drop it when a cable is connected.
Battery or port assembly the phone needs to come apart...

I have a couple of these wireless chargers. Mine are an older version that don't have a USB plug at the charging pad (mine has a non-removable wire from the pad). I can't seem to find specs on their site now, but when I bought mine they claimed they were 15w. I only bought them for how they look. I personally don't care how fast they charge, I prefer slow charging for better battey life, I'll use wired chaging when I need something faster. I have fast wireless charging disabled on my phone. But I just checked it, if I enable it, it does say "fast wieless charging" on the sceen when I place it on the pad, and the time to full charge is a little quicker than with fast wireless charging disabled. Still not as fast as wired though.

So the best way to check this is to download Ampere!
Grab it from Google play store, install it, and then open it while you are charging the phone on different wireless pads.
You work out the Watts by using;
Amps x Voltage
Let me know how it goes!

Looking for a wireless car charger

Hello! I'm looking for a wireless car charger for my Samsung Galaxy Note 20 ultra. My Baseus charger (on the screenshot) broke after only a year of usage.
It has 10w output and so when the navigation is on it only helps keep the charge.
Sometimes Xiaomi 20w car charger is recommended but according to reviews it still chargers Note 20 Ultra with 10 watts, 20w is only for Xiaomi charging protocols.
Can you advise me a charger that is compatible with and can charge the device with more than 10w?

Just look in Amazon, there's a lot of them that offer different watts for charging, not expensive either unless you go with name brand

I am looking for one as well. I have two scosche magicmount chargers that are fast charge. The 9v 1.67A or roughly 20 watts, but these will only charge the new note 20 ultra at 10w. From what I can tell they start off fast charging then the phone stops them and only allows the 10w. I took one of these apart along with a Samsung branded fast charger, the biggest difference I saw right away was the samsung charger had dual coils. So I think that may be the difference the phone recognizes because the voltage and amperage are the same.
I'd like to find one that has the same or similar magnetic mounting system. Its mostly a matter of convenience but also I have used clap ones before, not all were wireless chargers but the manual one often broke on me and the one automatic one I have has a touch button on the side that is very sensitive, so it often releases when I don't mean for it too.
@adj998 Yes there are plenty on Amazon, but unfortunately it seems Samsung has deemed this single coil wireless chargers as inadequate and disables fast charging on them.

How has this Xiaomi charger fared? And how fast does it charge the N20 Ultra? The one I have doesn't charge the N20, just keeps it at a constant level but the same charger does charge an S7 and a Note 9 much faster (so probably coming up against the Sammie 'lets annoy customers by making them buy only Sammie wireless chargers' issue!). I have tried moving the phone up/down a bit to see if that's the issue but no luck.
So, looking to get something that charges faster and will get this one if it does so. Anyone else have the Xiaomi charger and is happy with it?

I am still happy with it, it charges my s23 ultra fast, the screen says fast wireless charging so, it is still good.
