Up until about a week ago my phone charged both wired and wireless-ly without any problem.
I have 3 different wireless chargers and none work now. It is not the position of the phone on the charger. It no longer works regardless.
I am not rooted.
The most recent update was Verizon/Samsung push, but the failure did not occur immediately after. It was about 2-3 weeks after update.
The charger indicates that a charging device is attached and the indicator on the charger is correct, but the phone itself no longer activates the charging mode.

I bought a QI wireless charging adapter from Ebay and installed it in my s4. I used Nokia QI wireless charging pad. However, I found my the charging was intermittent after like 5min of continuous charging and that was when the Nokia pad & my s4 both got very warm.. The phenomenon was: the screen kept coming on every 5seconds like the phone was disconnected from the power source and reconncted.
I found that, when I put s4 off from the charging pad, let phone cool down, put it back, it would work flawlessly for 5min, again charging intermittently. This bothers me, as apparently the physical charging worked for my s4. Might be the wirless charging issue related to s4 firmware?
Any inputs are welcomed.
So we've been combatting some finicky charging issues with my wife's new S5 for the past week.
I've worked out a lot of the weirdness due to the fact that my HTC M8's charging brick apparently doesn't work with anything other than the M8 (I have no idea yet what is different about it... 1.5A).
Anyway, despite this we have had no issues using the supplied charger/cable (only used it on first day).
We haven't had any issues using an old Droid 2 charger and cable (1.0 A I think)...although likely it was a slow charge.
But, since we've been out of town for a few days without all our cables, the only think that has worked with NO issue is using a 2.1A output power brick to recharge the phone. Also, it seems that the 2.1A iPad charger worked as well.
What is weird is we also tried 2 identical 1A iPhone charges. Upon first plugin with a 10' 24/28AWG cable, it didn't charge. I removed it and plugged it into the other one and it began charging. I then removed it and plugged it back in the first and it started to charge fine (and yes, I tripled check the connection on the first try).
In short, we seem to just have very strange results. Sometimes it will say it is charging for a few seconds and then stop and sometimes it will not charge using a certain combination, but when you unplug it, try something else, then back to the first it will work!
We've also had issues with the charger in the car where it would keep blinking her phone on and off with a sound. I suspect that this was due to a slow charge bringing the phone to full charge, then dropping (even though plugged in), then going back to full again. But this is just based on what my wife described.
Can anyone explain and/or tell me what the minimum required and the recommended specifications are for a charger/cable on this phone?
I have a curious bug and I was wondering if anyone else has the same thing...
I have an after market charging pad and receiver. They've worked well for months.
I had to replace my Note 3 last week, so I have a "new" one. Stock 5.0 ROM.
It charges just fine, but when I take it off the wireless charger the LED is still red and the phone indicates it's still charging (even though it's not). Only a reboot will clear the charging indicator. If I plug in a USB cord, it tells me it's switching to the plug then when I unplug it, it tells me it's switching back to wireless (even though it's not on the mat).
Plenty online about the indicator NOT coming on, and wireless charging not working but I couldn't see any reference to this particular problem. Thanks for you input!
I took the update for the june security update and it broke the fast charging. I know the charger still fast charges because when I plug in other devices it still works for other devices. My phone was quick charging fine and than stopped a few days ago. wireless charging still works as it should but the wired connection charging has gone from 3-4hrs for a full charge.....WTF?! any help is appreciated.
In the last couple days I started noticing the fast wireless charging is not turned on every time when I place the phone on all of my three fast charging pads. Instead the phone just shows the regular wireless charging status. If I lift the phone and put it down again, the fast charging will turn on randomly again with no observable pattern.
Does anyone have the same problem? I have wiped the cache,thinking it might have been one of the latest Sprint updates, but it didn't solve the problem.
I've had this issue too, how long before it's switching to slow charge? Mine does it if the temp gets too hot usually, but other times the wireless charge doesn't work at all. I think it might just be a bad pad though and not the phones fault...
Mine was doing about the same thing ...it would say wireless fast charge as soon as I set it on the pad and one second later it would say wireless charging. I switched the power brick from the one that came with the charging pad to the one that came with my s10 ( faulty brick maybe?)and that did the trick for me. For reference I'm using a Samsung wireless charging pad but that was my experience
