I also got the wireless charger that came with the Best Buy pre order. Mine only charges for about 10 minutes then the charging pad blinks blue and it has stopped charging and doesn't seem to start charging again. My phone was done to 45% and it only got to 53% overnight.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flu13:
Left my phone on the wireless charging pad overnight last night. It hit 100% at around 10 PM. This morning, around 8:30, it was down to 64%. I'm not only upset that it stops charging and never starts again, but I can't believe it drained 36% in 10 hours of doing nothing.

Speaking of wireless charging my screen constantly comes on for about 10 services when it gets to 100% and the light illuminates the whole room. Any way to stop this?

I have the same issue with the official wireless charger. Plugged last night, woke up at 79%. I think it stopped charging at around 2-3 am. RIght now it's connected to my PC (the charger), and sometimes it lights up and says "Wireless charging paused".
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flu13:
None that I'm currently aware of. Someone said that they used some automation tool to black the screen out when it turns on or something like that, but I'd like a less kludgy method.

anyone tried charging with a case on? I have a s6 and the nexus 5 wireless charger and it never connects with a thin TPU case on... Im a case guy and need a case... however if i remove the case it will charge just fine (havent dont a full charge yet...)

can someone test with cases on etc and see what you get, if it connects... i tested the charger with my wifes n4 with a similar case on and it connects without an issue... as soon as i put on the s6, nothing, just briefly shows the NFC icon and then nothing...
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] halo0:
I have the thinnest TPU case available, and if I put the s6 on the Nexus 5 wireless charger sometimes it will start charging for a second but it always stops. Sometimes it wont charge no matter what I do.

But back to my weird issues with the official Samsung wireless charger. Last night it was even stranger, because I put the s6 on the charger and it charged to 100 percent and it was still at 100% when I woke up. So this seems to be completely random and I don't understand it at all.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flu13:
I have a Spigen Ultra Hybrid case and my wife has the Slim Armor, and neither of us has a problem charging wirelessly.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pwinters:
Same thing for me exactly. Is it "learning" how to interact with the wireless charger and will this get better over time? Not sure. I do know that sometimes it glows green when it is finished charging for a while. Then the light goes out completely. This is when I suspect it quits charging. Ideally the green should stay on until you pick it up. Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't. Frustrating. I really want this to work.

BTW - using a Spigen Hybrid case now and still connecting to the wireless charger without issue.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c_86:
ok, i think my issue with the wireless charging is with the nexus 5 charger... i just tested a cheap one i got off ebay and it worked without any issues with the case...
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cvenk:
The same issue here:

my phone will stop charging, start charging, stop charging, start charging, etc.

I have the cheap pads and I just bought LC Power polnilec QI&USB (LC-CH-USB-QI) and still the same issue.

It is really annoying.

I'm goning to buy a original wireless charger and see if this helps.

BTW: to all that are heaving problem waking up with 90% of battery. Just put the wall-charger into time based wall socket and make that the charger begin charging at 03:00 .I have mine like that.

I'm having same problem. For wireless charger I use AFC charger.

I think isn't problem of wire charger.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] th3taman:
Glad I'm not the only one with wireless charging issues. While it's nice to have, I wish it would occasionally trickle charge after reaching 100%. Once or twice I've woke to the green light on my phone and charging pad, battery at 100%. No idea how to get it to do that all the time? Usually wake to it in the 90s in the morning.

Also, wish I could turn the blue LED light off on the charger. While cool looking, I just don't want it on while I'm sleeping. I like it dark!!!

Your experiences and thoughts are the same as my own.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bdcooke:
My experience:

I bought a Nokia dt900 wireless charger. I tried using it without a case on the phone, but would do the constant start charging stop charging. I think it was because the glass back made it slide on the charger. If the charger wasn't perfectly level the phone would slide, ever so slowly and cause the frequent start and stops. So I put a case on it and haven't had any issues since. The phone charges and is at 100% in the morning.

My theory is the frequent cycling people are having is caused by the phone sliding. (you could easily disprove this I guess, because I don't know if you are charging with a case on or not). The problems with the phones not charging with a case could be because the charges are 5v chargers. The Nokia I bought is 12v.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] halo0:
I use this case, and my phone doesn't slide. This is probably one of the thinnest cases you can get: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00QU4N7AK/

The problem I'm having is not that the phone cycles charging, but that it will charge to 100% and then stop charging. I am using the official Samsung Best Buy bonus charger.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flu13:
This is a fascinating theory, because I haven't had the problem recur since I put a case on my phone.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] n2fracture:
Drives me nuts

I have the same issue with mine.

It starts and stops charging constantly and the stupid Beep Beep is annoying as hell.

I have 2 Tylt Vu wireless chargers that I use with my Nexus 4 with no problems. I have used the S6 both with a case and without with inconsistent results. Sometimes it charges just fine being at 100% in the morning. Today I woke up to find it at 65%. (This is unacceptable for a phone that barely makes it 10 hours from a full charge.)

What we can deduce from reading the comments is that the problem - and it is a problem - is with the phone. Whether I have it in the case or not makes no difference; at least with my chargers. And the positioning is a no brainer with the Tylt Vu. Both portrait and landscape positioning try to charge this thing.

So that leaves the phone. I can do exactly the same thing 5 nights in a row and get 5 different results.

Samsung needs to fix this.

It might be the final straw for me. I'm thinking of sending it back.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Africaan:
Same here...

My experience - both myself and my wife got the S6 edge on release date, with the Samsung Wireless Charger.

Hers - works 100% fine... charges ever night over night, LED going Blue on the charger when the phone is seated, and turning to green at some point through the night. Phone is 100% charged in the morning - EVERY morning!

Mine - never works... seat the phone and it flashes as charging, not charging, charging, not charging etc Eventually turning to a blinking blue LED on the charger, and it is never more than about 70% in the morning.

I have switched charges, swapped wired chargers into the wireless, put her phone on my nightstand, mine on hers etc etc - basically swapping everything possible. The issue follows the phone, not the charger. Hers charges nightly, no matter which cable, which wireless charger or which wall socket it is plugged into... mine - no such luck!

I have now reverted to the wired charging cable, as the only way I can make it past midday with a charge on my phone. Not sure if this helps anyone, but just a bit more backup on the fact that the issue is the phone, not the charger!
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MJFox78:
maybe it's related to an app that is running on your device in the background but not on your wifes device?
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danangdevils:
I'm getting the exact same issues, place the phone down on the wireless charger around 9:30pm, wake up at 5:30am and it;s around 96-98%, very odd. It used to work to 100% overnight!
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ediflyer:
Although mine seems charged to 100% in the morning, I was woken up last night by the charging stop/start beeps. I was in sound on but DND mode, only calls and alarms set to come through. Surely this should disable any of these sounds? As a temporary measure I can use silent mode (as with Samsung this still lets alarms through, unlike Lollipop), but should be able to use DND and still block these noises! Anyone have any good workarounds? Anyone know what Samsung are like in responding to feedback on these sort of glitches?
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bernard134:
Anyone knows why the S6 wireless charging pad show blinking blue light and the S6 stop charging suddenly, initially it was charging smoothly with a stable blue light. Thought that my S6 Edge got problem but test run and put my Moto 360 on the samsung s6 wireless charging pad also the same, initially show stable blue light and after a while changing to blinking blue light.

What does the blinking blue light mean and what cause it? It's annoying!
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iowabowtech:
I got the Best Buy special and it works fine with my vzw G6 in a Spigen hybrid. Only thing that's almost 100% repeatable is that I have to place the phone on the charger, remove phone, then place it on charger a 2nd time before it works. It's become habit to do that now which is not a big deal. Phone charges to 100% every night, no complaints.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mvh_01:
Same issues here. As soon as the screen turns off, the charging pauses. It's somehow software related I think because if I turn on the daydream feature, the problem is gone. Very annoying indeed.

I had the same problem, but it seems to be solved with the latest firmware update (A0E3), it doesn't happen anymore since I installed the update

Same! So annoying! Shifting the phone after the initial placement never seems to work either.

When did you get this update? I just got an update on Friday and I'm on A0E2 (AT&T).

I'm using a cheap wireless charger (http://www.ebay.de/itm/201319488769) and with a standard 1 amp charger the phone goes on and off charging and never reaches 100%. The wireless charger is rated 1 amp output with a 1,8 amp charger input, using one from a LG G2 connected to it, it charges to 100% and stays there. According to gsam it's charging with 802 mA which is fine for wireless charging IMO.

I use a pure gear dualtek case and charge just fine with my EP-PG920I charger. mine charges to 100 % and stays on 100 % until the next morning.

That being said my wife has the white variant of the S6 and hers charges up to 100 % then starts to discharge to 89 % overnight.

Both have identical firmware, I see no differences in the hardware or software versions but both react differently to the wireless charger.

Same problem here tonight blue blink and discharging. Batt at 90%. Any ideas? I will return my s6...
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amemo06:
same kind of issue here with an Edge on AOE3 & the Samsung Wireless pad.

Initially the pad was connected to my laptop dock station with a USB double connector to provide more power. In that setup, I had so far no issue.

Now I had to plug on a classic power charger. In my case, I used my formal HTC One X charger. Officially 1Amp. And a classic USB cable.

With that setup, sometime it works flawlessly, sometime it consistenly starts and stops !!

No clue yet if this is due to the Charger or the USB cable !

But in theory, the HTC charger should provide the same power than my 2 USBs.

Two bugs Samsung S6 wireless charging

I have to my Samsung S6 using a (special) mouse. I control the device using a mouse that I control using my mouth. To prevent the device running out of power I have mount it on a wirelless charger.

1-When the device load and hit 100%, the power to the slave device stops. The mouse pointer disapears and restart is only posible by reconnecting the OTG kabel. (I can see the power stopping by using a card reader hub with a led)

2-Using a Y OTG kabel is not a option because the Samsung S6 can not be charged by a OTG kabel and at the same time run a slave device using the usb kabel. That charging is for the slave device

3-When I try the developers option and prevent the display to go to sleep, that is not working in the wireless charging mode. The device is going in sleep mode and when the 100% is hit the same problem is going on (100% = power loss of slave device)

How can I solve this problem? (samsung s6, android 5.1.1 sm-g920f)
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] halo0:
Are you using the official Samsung wireless charger? In my experience that thing is way more flaky than any standard Qi charger. The Samsung one always stops charging my device when it reaches 100%, whereas other Qi chargers will continue to maintain the phone at 100% even after it has finished charging.

[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jelbo:
After weeks of torment I finally, finally fixed my wireless charging issues with my S6 by using a 1A charger instead of a 2A one. Before I tried the Samsung 2A one and an off brand 2A one, but now I'm using my old HTC One m7 1A charger. Ironically, 2A is listed as needed input on my RavPower RP-WCN15 charger and is recommended by almost everyone when talking about Qi charging issues.

I can now consistently wireless charge my S6. As soon as I give the charger 2A (I tried yesterday with a battery back that outputs 2A), it starts to randomly disconnect and drain itself.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] S.cam.S:
I seem to have a different issue to others, my phone is always at 100% when I wake but it never lights green, it is still blue when I wake and at 100%. I hope this is not damaging the phone by still trying to charge when at 100%.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jnivard:
power disconnect

When I connect a OTG hub and connect the mouse than I caan see that when the wirreless charger hit 100% the power led indicator on the hub is switching off.

That means that Samsung is disconect at laest the power line to the slave device. That is why the mouse is stopping working.!

On and off and on and off *Beep Boop!*

I am also using VW Galaxy S6 and using it with the TYLT Vu wireless charger. I'm using a case Mate Naked tough which is very thin. When I put the phone on the charger it cycles on and of and on and off and on and off of charging with the stupid double beep. Every time the screen goes off, the charging pauses and then kicks back in when the screen is on. I thought it might be the case, but before taking it off I decided to try charging it with the phone power off, and it works fine. Which leads me to feel like someone else mentioned, it must be a software issue. So now, like them, I'm going to try it with Dream Mode on and see if i can manage to leave the phone on and it'll keep charging. Again, it's a no brainer with placement on that particular charger and it worked flawlessly with my Nexus 6. I'm using the charging cord that came with the charger. Comments welcome!

Update: If I keep the annoying Daydream mode set to come on while charging the charging is never paused.

Wireless charging problem

I am working on a work around using a bluetooth switch in the powersupply of the wireless charing device.

A small app is monitoring the battery level of the S6 and it switch the power supply to the charger off before it hits 100%..

and turn it on by a low level of 10%.

In a simulation this is working and solve the problem. I do not know why Samsung takes so long to get a sollution for this problem!

Samsung wireless charger help

Ok so I got my note 5 and charger yesterday phone was dead on first power up so I decided to open the Samsung wireless charger that i got when purchasing phone, I have the same issue with charger. Will charge for 8 minutes to be exact than stop. light on charging base goes from solid green to flashing green than stop charging. I pick the phone up reset it on the charger than works again. Will do that almost evertime. So I used the Samsung chat support and contacted samsung directly to see if there was a simple solution to the problem thinking that they would put me in the right direction. So that was a waste they told me to wipe out phone and reset. And boot phone I safe mode and retry charging to see if an app is causing issue. No such luck. So I did a little research found that samsung actually has another wireless charger coming out and hasn't been released yet. So my guess is that they know that there is a issue with the chargers and are updateing it. Just sucks for those who have the old one but maybe..... maybe they will do exchange. So anyway I found that my phone will charge 100% everytime if my phone is powered off so my guess is there is a software issue with the newer devices and is causing interference . Just sucks have to leave phone off is useless to me unless I'm going to bed. So I would try to charge your phone with it off and see if anyone else has the same results. Hope this helps keep me posted. Thanks
