I have the wireless charging back and when I place the phone on the charging unit a popup comes on saying that it is within proximity of wireless charging, the phone starts charging.
Now to my issue, daydream does not automatically come on.
Ideas ?

Hey PolarBearMI, I believe the daydream feature is disabled on wireless charging, here's why: you get 2A on wired charging, I'm guessing that with the screen on with daydream it cuts it to 1.5A easily slowing the charging down. Now on wireless charging you have from .75 to 1A depending on your station and card setup. If the screen would be on during that it would basicly take the charging to a crawl. Just a theory. Don't think there's a solution to get it going.

Hi,
Recently I've got my wireless charging pad (a well-known $27 generic wireless charger off eBay). Put my phone on, and it charged flawlessly and quickly enough. As soon as it got 100%, the charging stopped, and the LED on the pad turned green. No problem here. But, if I remove the phone and put it back immediately, while it is still at full capacity, the charging starts over and continues infinitely, as if it is connected to a wall charger. This concerns me, since the battery is being kept on trickle charging forever (about 20mA in screen-off mode according to Battery Monitor Widget), and the phone gets slightly warm. Besides, the charger unnecessary drains power from outlet.
I suspect, there's something wrong with communication between power receiver (phone) and transmitter (charging pad), since according to Qi standard, the power receiver should send an End-of-Power message to transmitter, as soon as the battery gets full, which in fact happens initially. But once the phone is removed and put back on the pad with battery still full, it seems, the message is not transmitted anymore, and that causes the pad to continue feeding power infinitely.
Could you please check your Nexus 4 with the wireless chargers you posses? I need confirmation, that this is indeed the phone's fault, and not the charger itself.
Follow these steps to possibly reproduce the issue:
1. If the phone is fully charged, play with it a little to drop the charge for 1-2%.
2. Put the phone on the charging pad and wait until charging process stops (your charger should probably notify that by some beep or LED color).
3. Quickly remove and put back the phone on the pad.
4. Observe what happens.
5. Report here.
Thank you!
Does anyone else have any experience with Qi wireless charging receivers for the S4? I bought one from eBay at the end of last year (item no
151128038769), and it was fine for the first few months, but now it doesn't seem to charge the phone at all. I get a popup message when the phone is placed on the correct part of the charging mat (although this message doesn't always pop up as reliably as it used to), and the charge indicator displays in the notification bar, but if I return to the phone half an hour later it has actually lost charge.
I've tried this with two different charging pads, from two different manufacturers, and neither charges the phone, even though the phone gives the impression that it is being charged when I first place it on the mat. Charging using a cable still works fine.
I was wondering whether others had experiences of wireless charging?
Update: I just checked the charge status with the Galaxy Charging Current Lite app. When the phone is on the pad the charging current shows as 640mA (which should be enough to charge?), but the phone is actually losing 1% of its charge every few minutes.
???
are you using an adapter cover or a connector for the qi charging?, maybe they're not aligned well
also,i just checked and i get 460mA via simple usb/PC charging. and it's still charging. (really slow, but charging.)

I'm using a receiver insert. It sits on top of the battery, and has a flap which covers the charging terminals higher up the phone. I'm more than happy with 640mA as I usually charge it overnight. I just don't understand why it's losing charge instead of charging.
if it's charging with 640mA, but still your phone is discharging, then maybe your phone is draining the battery.
try to close everything, such as wifi, GPS, mobile data etc. and then check if it's still not charging.
also, you can try changing to a a different receiver, if you have one
btw, what about normal charging? does it charge normally?

Yes it seems that there's something that's draining the battery faster than the Qi pad can charge it. I've tried a reboot but it made no difference.
"Normal" charging using a USB cable is fine (and quick). I've just set up the Better Battery Stats app to see what's causing the drain while it's on the charging pad.
I don't have another charging receiver to try (only another charging pad, which exhibits the same behaviour)
I just purchased a generic Qi wireless charger receiver card and transmitter for the S5. I can't post the link because of new member rules.
The charger works well but when the battery reaches 100% full the phone stops charging. According to the Qi standard there is no provision or method for a 'trickle charge' used by all the traditional wall chargers (I can't post the link to this either because of new member rules). What Qi does instead is turn the charger on and off periodically to keep the battery at 100% - this process is supposed to be managed in the background operations of the phone.
With the S5 ever few seconds the screen turns on, a charger connected sound is played, and then the charger turns off and the screen turns off THIS REPEATS FOREVER. The phone gets quite hot and it's terribly annoying. This happens even if the phone is turned off. I'm not sure it even has anything to do with the trickle charge process - seems like its stuck in a loop. Qi transmitter detects a Qi enabled device and begins pumping power. Qi device produces 5.3v (or something similar), phone sees input voltage and turns on to notify user of charging, and charging stops almost immediately because the battery is full (repeat, repeat, repeat...).
Is there anything in the settings or using apps that would fix this problem? Does anyone know if the samsung brand S cover (charging cover) has some extra provision that prevents this annoying problem?

The real question is, why are you keeping it on the charger once it's 100% charged? At that point just remove it and continue about with your day
Hi,
So I bought the Samsung Wireless charger stand (say fast charging) http://www.bestbuy.ca/en-CA/product...ging-stand-black-ep-ng930bbugca/10418050.aspx because it was on promo. I try with 2 device, and it never say Wireless Fast Charging.
If i just use the USB cable and plug to my phone, it say fast charging.
I already replace 1 in store, so i though it was the wireless charger the issue, but the second one, does the same.
Also the time remaining stay the same if I use the USB cable or the Wireless charger.
So my question is, am I suppose to see Wireless Fast charging ?
It is setup to ON in the Battery setting.
I try both S6 and S7 Edge.
Thanks!
yeah I was at a best buy yesterday and saw it for the first time. When I tried it out it also did not fast charge. My fast charger at home though needs the phone to be placed in a certain position for it to catch for fast charging. Its a little cumber sum but I got it down pat right now
U may have to manually turn it on. Mine turned on on its own. U can toggle on/off in battery section same place as the regular fast charge option. Either that or that wireless charger was not really "fast".
Mine does that on occasion and I have to lift the phone up and place it on the pad again in a slightly different position and then it says fast charging wirelessly. Be sure you have a quick charge power cord plugged into the pad

I added a wireless charging receiver to my ZTE Axon 7 mini and I get an odd sputtering/stuttering/hiccuping happen at around 91% charge. Every minute or so the phone looses it's wireless charging connection, reconnects, then continues charging until the next hiccup. Eventually the phone will charge to 100% and the hiccuping then stops.
The problem does not occur when the battery is below about 91%. And I don't get this problem if I simply plug the phone in to charge.
The biggest annoyance for me is that I have it charging at my bedside while sleeping and the frequent charging beeps and screen turning on wakes me up. The solution I've found for now is to set my phone to Silent while I'm sleeping, but though that helps with the beeps I can still get woken up by the flashing screen. And of course, there are other issues I have with setting the phone to Silent.
I have wondered if this was the receiver or the charger at fault but I've tried one other receiver and 2 other chargers with the same result.
I do suspect this has something to do with what I assume is a slowing of the charging rate as the battery gets close to full but I don't know how to confirm that.
Any suggestions to resolve this greatly appreciated.

From what I can guess, the problem was a combination of placement of the phone on the charging pad and/or the presence of a metal disk (behind the receiving pad, though) for a magnetic car mount (though this was not an issue with wireless charging in the car via the mount) and/or the end-of-life of the wireless charger.
I found that placing the phone horizontally and in a specific position stopped the fluttering.
And interestingly, about 2 weeks after this post, the wireless charger gave up the ghost.
