I just got an S8 (upgrade from S7). I have a Samsung Wireless charging dock. Not the fast charging dock that came out around the same time as the S7 but the dock before that. Is there an issue charging my S8 on this dock. Of course I get that it won't charge as quick but as far as strain on the battery, getting hot, etc. Just wondering if this dock is completely safe to use.
Should work fine.
Have not had any issues thus far.
Have a LG wireless charging dock that I used for my Nexus 4. Works good with the S8. Great that I can use it again.

Check if you've got a knockoff charger. https://youtu.be/fr4RlrfHIMk
Anyone know if the S6 charging pad will work albeit not fast charge? I use this at work and its very handy.

Same here, I have a LG charging dock from my LG G3 and it works fine for now.

So I did notice the last couple of days that sometimes my S8 won't fully charge. It stops somewhere between 60-80%. It happen today after I received a Whatsapp massage.

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.
Mine is very very slow, sometimes only added 1% after an hour of fast charging.
Though when i turn off fast charging on the phone, it charges normally (faster than when fast charging is switched on).
I'm using the Samsung original fast charger (the new tilted model) by the way.
Anyone experiencing the same problem? looks like a firmware issue?
Most times you have to reposition the phone until it says that it's actually fast wireless charging. Kinda Irritating. Also make sure the fast wireless option is turned on in the settings.

No such problems here. Drop it on the fast charger as it lands and away it goes in fast charger mode. Are you sure you have it enabled in settings......

What charger are you using? Are you verifying each time that it's actually fast charging?
Sent from my SM-G935T using Tapatalk
I use a Samsung fast wireless charger. Now I also remember that if you don't have the Samsung one then go to your local store where they do have one and land your phone on it. I read that the fast charging wireless feature only starts working after you use a genuine Samsung fast wireless charger, but remains functional thereafter.
Yes it says fast charging and I can tell by the short time from empty to full charge (usually around 1.5 hours) approximately.

yes as mentioned i'm using the original samsung wireless fast charger, the latest model which it's at an angle so there won't be the problem of misplacement. and yes again fast charging is turned on, cables, adapter are all original stuff that came with the phone.......

Subscribe to this one.
S7 Edge (Exynos), using Samsung tilted wireless charger with phone original adapter / cable. Phone it's saying fast wireless charging, but is only fully charging in about 4.5 - 5 hours (starting from 10% or lower).
Tests from 45% took same, about 2.5-3 hours.
Charging by cable: about 1.5 to 2 hours. Also saying fast charging.
Samsung is waiting for me with phone and charger to test them in their shop.
Will keep you updated.
agreed, have noticed that it occasionally shows normal charging rate when in fact attached to a quick charge source... reboot/replug always seems to fix but I've learned to check each time I plug it in so that I don't come back in an hour to find it's barely moved

Fast charging by cable, normally takes ~100mins from 0-100% on S7 Edge. However, my S7E has the same problem as yours with mine charging at average 25% per hour with and without the wireless fast charge option checked.
Guys,
Do any of you know whether the S6 charing Pad will work for the S8?
I use this at work so not worried about fast charging but would be useful if it could do a standard charge like my S6 does.
Ta
Of course it'll work.
Using one currently. Works great. Charging isn't unbearably slow, either. I use it for overnight charging.
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.

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
