Both of my Samsung Galaxy S5 OEM and mpj extended battery has NFC for wireless charging which is incredibly convenient, but my friend suggests me to avoid wireless charging. Is it really harmful to batteries?
Thanks!
I dont think its harmful, ive seen lots of complaints about it though mainly about slowness, which should be expected.

I received the Verizon quick charge bundle yesterday. Quite a deal for the battery, the car charger and the new slanted Samsung wireless charger. It seems like the wireless charger is pretty snappy, but with no replaceable battery, what will using it do to the long term battery life of the S7E?
Is it OK to use it whenever? Like frequently putting the phone on the stand to get it from 90 to 100%? Or leaving it on the stand all day or all night? Any tips on how the wireless quick-charging technology works and its effect on battery life would be much appreciated. Thanks.
I don't remember exactly which thread but someone mentioned that fast charging would also negatively affect the battery over time due to killing the battery cells. Might be in the battery life thread..I slow charge mine overnight and only fast charge using my car charger.

maybe thats why even sammys fast changer is not very powerful??..
Thinking about getting one of these cheaper third party charging pads from Amazon but was curious as to wheter or not I need a special case for the device or if wireless charging works out of the box with any compatible pad. I ask because my LG G3 supported wireless charging but you need a special battery cover/case to use it and I wasn't about to do all that haha. Thanks!

The S7 and Edge support wireless charging out of the box. No accessories necessary (except for the wireless charger, of course).
I bought a stupid cheap one for my g3, works great on s7e...

Do the 3rd party wireless support fast charging?
I don't think so as mine is a bit slower than just plugging it in but I use it for the overnight charge anyway...

My S7 Edge does fast wireless charging on this. Very quick. You have to make sure to use the Adaptive QC Charger that came with your S7 Edge or another QC Adaptive charger.

Yea I just read the reviews. It's the equivalent to the knock off Samsung fast wireless charger that I also got on amazon. 2 hour charge. Not bad but wish someone had a charger that is just as fast as the wired one

Fast wireless charging is pretty quick, this is the fastest you'll get wirelessly at the current moment. If you want any faster you have to plug in.

Bought this one weeks and go it it works great! for my S7 Edge on fast and my Note 4 on standard wireless charge speed.
Hey guys, one of my co-workers has a S8 (Cricket). He just noticed that under his settings in the battery section, there is no toggle to enable Fast Wireless Charging under the Advanced options.
I've been searching here as well as in Google for any answers. I've seen a thread or two randomly on other forums, one was a VZW customer who apparently found from their customer service, that there was a known issue on some devices and the fast wireless charging option was removed. Not sure if this was in a series of production, maybe earlier production devices? That specific thread was from the beginning of Dec 2017.
I've really found no concrete answers, and actually don't get anything when I search that is specific to Cricket Devices. I've got an ATT S8+, and I have the option and actually use fast wireless charging every night.
Hoping someone knows a way to force it back, or if this is something to be fixed by Samsung?
***EDIT - I just realized that my boss doesn't have fast wireless charging either, she hasn't been able to use the fast charger we got her for Christmas. She has a Vzw S8+.
TIA
It's available after first use with a fast wireless charger. Just put it on the charger and it will be there. Hope this helps.

We put it on a known working fast wireless charger, no dice. It was actually tried for a short period (30 minutes) and then completely charged on a fast wireless charger overnight. Option still isn't there, nor did it fast charge ever while on the charger.
Anyone else have a suggestion?
Use proper Fast Wireless Charger, like Samsung one. Also with proper strong charger connected to wireless charger...

Yes that's correct
You need a fast wireless charger which is plugged in with a fast or quickcharge adaptor otherwise it won't work

Which one?
On mine it's just a matter of whether or not it's plugged into a fast charging brick. If I want slow charge, I use a charger other than the one that came with the phone. Works on my Verizon S8+ no problem

Choetech, using a fast charging brick and cable from a Samsung S7. Works fine for my ATT dev, have tested with another ATT dev (Note 8) and it worked fine on it as well.
I use the following. Cheap and cheerful. Plus all of them are fast.

It's Not the Charger, block/travel plug or lead.
I am, and always have been a loyal Samsung user since the (slide up) D500 which I still have btw.
Had every other S model as my provider contract is over 18 months so tend to miss a model. S4, S6 now on S8+ and had charger port issues with them all. So Samsung changed the port, and lead to one that even an idiot like me can plug in whilst driving in the dark without breaking it. Imagine my surprise and disappointment when my S8 stopped fast charging. As the title states, I have only ever used the charger and lead supplied with the handset and after past issues am ULTRA carefull when charging.
So I bought a Samsung (EP-PG9201) wireless fast charger. Using S8's f/charger block + lead from my S6 placed S8 on it and yeah, it charges but no fast charge? Followed all the settings advice but no Accessories option in Advanced Features, Device Maintenance, Battery, Advanced Settings but no wireless charge option (fast or otherwise) Yet prior to my purchase I checked these settings to see if S8 was compatable and the wireless option was there but greyed out but now it's gone!?!
Soz for the waffle but IT'S WOUND ME UP 100% Any help or advice that doesn't include charger, block, lead, settings, phone case or software updates would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance guys

It works..!!!
Thank you... It actually works.
Anker seems to be DOA short of now selling portable charging packs... Who makes the best replacement batteries these days? Anker is great for my captivate glide, the battery holds more but still didn't need a special battery door.
To look them up now it seems they no longer make batteries at all. Who have you all been using?

There seem to be very few makes of replacement battery specifically for the S5 Neo, although there are quite a few for the S5. I have seen differing opinions on whether a battery for the S5 will work properly in an S5 Neo. I have ordered a couple of S5 batteries (PowerBear and RAVPower), which should be here in a few days, and I will report on how well they work in my S5 Neo.
The batteries have arrived, and both the RAVPower and PowerBear batteries seem to work quite well in my S5 Neo, despite being designed for the S5. The PowerBear in particular seems to have really good capacity: after I charged it fully and disconnected the charger, the phone reported 100% battery for about an hour! I'll continue testing...

It'll work with any Qi compatible device. However, it's not really worth it to charge other phones because it's slow. Even my Gear S3 charges pretty slowly compared to a charger meant for the S3.
Its more a gimmack than anything right now. It's great if your buds or watch are in desperate need of a charge, or your trying to pack light. Otherwise I'd just stick to what your used to.

I tried to charge my Gear S3 and it kept disconnecting as if it needs to be placed in a perfect "sweet spot".
Could be a case

I have similar problems. It'll work but has to be almost dead center. If I take my case off it's a little more forgiving. It still takes 2-3x longer to charge than with a charger designed for the S3
