The Aukey one just blinked white after successfully charging for 20 seconds or so. It was useless. I now have a couple of Anker fast charging mats and they both work fine.

I returned the Choetech since I was getting the charging paused problem. Went with the Pleson and it seems to work great with my S8+.

https://www.amazon.com/Wireless-Cha...=8-5&keywords=galaxy+s8+fast+wireless+charger

Wish it were USB C though.

There seems to be only (1) USB C fast wireless charger on Amazon and it is $10 more expensive than the Pleson. Not worth it for me.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] scgf:
Why? Does it matter how a wireless charging plate connects to its charger? Once connected that's it - and they come with a cable.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] maik005:
Maybe if he wants to charge his phone faster he can unplug the cable from the wireless charger and plug it directly into the phone - but that would need a USB-C connector on the wireless charger...
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] androidbuff123:
I know it doesn't matter.. but USB C is more convenient for the times I will move my charging plate. Also, if need be, I can quickly unplug the USB C cable from the plate and plug it directly into the phone if I want quicker charging.

I have the same issue. I had 6 Fast Wireless Chargers from various brands that I used with my S7 Edge and all worked great. Now that I have the S8+ only one of them works. Why that one - I have no idea. But the other 5 do not work regardless of charging adapter or cord I use.

The standard (non-fast) wireless chargers seem to work fine as mentioned as well as using these fast wireless chargers in "non-fast" mode by using a non-QC adapter. It's very frustrating to invest in tech and expect to be able to continue to use it. I had a fast wireless charger in the cup holder in my car so I could just drop my phone in there and it would fall against it and start fast wireless charging, but it is one of the 5 that do not work with my new phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Wake89:
I have two wireless pads connected to authentic samsung adaptive fast chargers. The Anker charges my S8 in fast mode all the time.

The yootech charges in standard mode even though the light on the yootech is blue, meaning fast mode. It is green in standard mode, like when i set my nexus 7 on it.

i came here to see if there was a reason, and now as im messing around on it i got the phone to go into fast mode on the yootech. i slowly slid the phone around on the pad to find the areas where it would stop charging, and when i slid it back to the center it said fast charging , for the first time.

one other thing i noticed is that fast wireless said 60% 1hr 9 min to full, and on standard it said 1hr 22 minutes. That's not much of a difference.

I swear i remember the difference between more on my note 7 but its been a while.

so i guess on the yootech i can get it into fast if i move it around and let it pause a few times.

edit: when i first set it on the yootech it will say regular wireless charging. If i slide the phone over until it pauses, then move it back it goes to fast charging. I can get it to do that every time. Odd.

Just noticed this issue with my Choetech T811C-S. Never tried it with another phone, and don't have another USB adapter to try it out with (only other adapter I've got here is a wired micro adapter, and the pad I've got takes USB-C.) Not sure whether I should wait a bit or just grab a refurb Samsung or Anker.

I'm using a Pleson Fast Charge. No problems here. Back of the S8 is quite warm though.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Tidbits:
Both my Samsung ones work for me.

I have the flat and the old dock one.

Have you guys tried different outlets? Outlets do tend to go bad and that could be the culprit even if you are using a surge protector.

I have the Samsung EP-NG930 , with a EP-TA20JWE and I get the wireless charging paused problem on my S8+. I have tried multiple outlets with multiple cables. It just doesn't work.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] halo0:
Has anyone tried laying the phone sideways? On my official Samsung desk stand type wireless fast charger, I get the "wireless charging paused" message if the phone is standing up, but if I set it horizontally on the charger, with something underneath it to space it up about a half inch to where it's centered, it charges fine. My thought was that due to the different shape the placement of the coil within the phone is out of alignment with the charger when standing upright.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] maik005:
those of you who have the EP-NG930 chargers what are the last 4 digits of the serialnumber of the charger?

I have two from China with the Serial end LACIS
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Infobits:
I bought this Samsung charger from amazon.com and it says made in Vietnam, has Manufacture Date of: 2017-03-17.

The last 4 digits of the S/N on mine are: MCIS

so far I used the charger twice for two nights in a row since getting it.

The first night I put my S8 on the charger pad and let it charge overnight. The blue light came on and I went to sleep. Woke up the next morning and the light was green and the S8 was fully charged 100%. It was warm to the touch.

The second night I put my S8 on the charger pad and let it charge overnight. The blue light came on and I went to sleep. Woke up the next morning and the blue light was still on blue, the S8 said it was only 85% charged. It was very warm to the touch.

In both cases above, I had a clear Spigen Ultra Hybrid protective cover sleeve on the S8 which I also purchased from amazon.com.

So I don't know what happened the 2nd night charging that failed to charge it to 100% overnight.

I am thinking because I have the cover on the S8, it weakens the inductive charge magnetic field (for sure) but maybe the 2nd night I did not position the S8 properly over the charging pad coils.

I will give it another charge tonight and see if the wireless charger fails again or if it works 100%.

My guess and hope at this point is that I simply did not position the phone in a good inductive coupling position last night.

We'll see after a few more tries with the thin cover on my S8. If it still acts whacky, then I will try without the cover on my S8 and see how that goes.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] blawkhawk1w:
Mine ends in LACIS also. I purchased mine from Amazon.com
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Infobits:
Okay I just charged the S8 overnight on this charger again making sure I centered the S8 on the charging pad. The light lit up blue and I woke up in the middle of this night and the S8 was

fully charged 100%. The dock light was green. The S8 had about 27% battery when I started the charging at 12:30am, When I woke up in the middle of the night Ichecked it around 4am and it was already fully charged with green light on.

As far as I am concerned with this charger, it works just fine.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] maik005:
Could possibly be a fake one.

Does it work without problems and with a normal Quick Charge 2.0/3.0 wall adapter (not a original Samsung one)?

Thinking about getting the Anker mat my question is what power block are u using ?and do u have a case on the phone?The link in the post to order says u need to buy Anker fast charging 2.0 block for it to work fast charging.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] scgf:
It looks like it will work fine with any QuickCharge 2.0 compatible charger. I have two Anker mats - one is connected to an Auzest chrager, the other to an Aukey. Both mats fast charge faultlessly. I have a Nillkin Frosted case on the phone currently - which is about the same thickness as a Spigen Thin Fit - and it has no problems charging with the case on.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] sweets55:
I have the Choetech T518 fast charger. It didn't work with the cord with it so I used a Samsung fast charger. Then it worked well I got the pause thing if I didn't place it just right. When it's working it doesn't even seem to fast charge even though it says it is. I think I had this issue with my S7 and really hasn't fast charged since maybe the S6. I try and throw it on the wireless charger on and off through the day. I don't like leaving my phone on it overnight.

Overall.... He had fake Chargers, cables and wall-plugs... He went into a store nearby and bought an original Samsung one and this one wirks without a problem.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Infobits:
To tell you the truth after watching that video, I don't see a difference in the fonts the guy keeps saying are different. I have the one that he says is the legitimate Samsung charger made in Vietnam and it works just fine. with my S8. The only obvious differences discernable that he shows is with the USB type C plug connector shape and the power supply adapter one made in Vietnam and one says made in China. If his assesment is true, the China made one is a pretty accurate looking knockoff.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] kidqwik:
Can anyone confirm which non-Samsung Wireless Quick Chargers work? The Choetech one I have here at work is driving me nuts tryin to reposition it correctly to get it to Fast Charge(yes, I can get my Choetech to fast charge at some inconsistent hard to get angle on the pad sometimes). I see some people saying their phone charges on so and so a pad, but some don't even know it's supposed to be quick charging instead of regular slow charging so they think what they have works.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Infobits:
I just want to update y'all on the latest findings of my Samsung EP-NG930 wireless charger stand and S8 experience. For the last two nights in a row, I placed the S8 centered on the charger before going to sleep and when I awoke in the morning the S8 was not charged to 100% at all. The S8 was warm to the touch each time and the battery indicator remained at slightly above the level I started the charging at. The blue charge light was still blue in the morning as if it was still fast charging. Each night I placed the S8 on the charger it said it was in fast charging mode and will take roughly about 1 hour 47 minutes or so to charge. But in the morning the phone was not 100% charged! In the morning I have to take it off the charger and place it back on to begin the charging cycle all over again and then it starts charging up the battery but seems to be slow charging instead.

I have the supposedly valid Samsung model made in Vietnam too. So I don't know what is going on. Sometimes it charged to 100% and the green light is on when I wake up in the morning.

The other nights it failed to fully charge and the blue light is still on when I wake up in the morning. So hit or miss.

I did read somewhere someone else posted that he started the charge at night and awoke in the middle of the night around 3am or so and the phone was 100% charged. So he left it there and when he awoke in the morning the phone was discharged and no longer at 100%. So this might be a tell tale sign of what might be happening to me. I will have to check this scenario out tonight when I start the charge all over again. I will check it at 3am or so and see if the S8 is fully 100% fast charged by that time. I will then leave the phone as is still sitting in the dock and check it again in the morning when I wake up to see if it is still at 100% or has it discharged sitting in the dock.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Infobits:
Update: Nevermind, I am sending this Samsung charger back to amazon.com. After placing the phone back on the charger this morning after it did not charge 100% overnight, I waited for it to charge up and it just charged very slowly over 4 hours waiting and it stuck at 85% and went no further from there. I removed the S8 once again and placed it back on the charger to reset it again and it started charging slowly again went to 86% after 15 minutes which tells me it was charging very slowly again even though the S8 screen shows a message saying it is in Fast Charging mode... the message is bogus! So either these new S8 softwares are buggy causing the sporadic non-charging conditions or the wirelss charger base is buggy. This needs to be figured out. I'd hate to send the charger dock back only to find out later that a bug in the new S8/S8+ phones is the culprit. ugh!

Folks beware, I've returned my Samsung Dock charger because it fails to charge my S8 reliably. it is hit or miss each time I try to charge on it. What put the nail in the coffin to return it though is that the model number and serial number on the little sticker that comes with it could not be found nor verifited when I tried to register it on the official Samsung website. The model number on the sticker had one character diffrent than the official Samsung model number! Sneaky! so be aware of this!

The charger uses the micro usb cable and comes with one. You only need to supply a samsung fast charge wall plug. I haven't noticed any issues with leaving my phone on it all night. Its cold when I wake up in the morning.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] hollywoodfrodo:
Over the weekend I did more test with my 5 various 3rd party Qi Fast Wireless Chargers (Choetech, Nektek, Yooteck, etc). All worked fine with my S7 Edge so long as I was using a Quick Charge 2.0 Charger and a decent cable. I had no issues. None have worked with my S8+ though the Nektek seems to start to work sometimes and not other times. Over the weekend, I tried using both QC 2.0 AND QC 3.0 chargers, then tried using the Samsung Adaptive Fast Charger. I also tried several different cables (all of which worked fine previously with the S7).

Nothing changed - none of these Fast Wireless Chargers which all worked great with the S7 Edge work with my S8+ regardless of which charging adapter I was using and with trying several different cords.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] bjl95mustang:
Have you tried a samsung wireless charger? Could it be an issue with your phone?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] hollywoodfrodo:
No, I haven't just because I don't own one. I guess I might try to take my phone over to the Best Buy Samsung store and hopefully they have one I can try it on there - that way if it doesn't work on that one either, then that would let me know that perhaps I just have a bad phone with faulty coils and need to return it for a replacement. Of course if it does work, then that wouldn't solve the issue of it not working with any 3rd party chargers, but it would at least give me some info... Maybe later this week or this weekend I'll have a chance to give that a shot...

One of my Samsung fast charge wireless chargers is working as Fast Charge. It has a Samsung brick and wire on it. The other two are slow wireless charging. One of them has a Samsung brick and wire on it, the other a different fast charge brick and an Anker cable. My Choetech at work has a Anker cable and different fast charger and sometimes I can get it to fast charge if placed randomly a certain way on it. Otherwise it will keep doing the "Paused Wireless Charging" thing nonstop unless I put it on there that random specific way to get it to Fast Charge.. All of these chargers at home and work all worked on my S7 Edge with Fast Charge. Samsung really screwed things up with this. I have another charger coming today that is said to work with the S8+. I hope it's just a software update Samsung can fix to get things working.

My samsung wireless charging stand sometimes works when the phone sits vertically. It either would connect and disconnect constantly or it would charge but then the blue light would blink. Often I would have to slowly move the phone left or right to get it detected because placing it dead centre doesn't work. When I place it on the stand horizontally, it charges no problem.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] tasos12:
I am facing the same problem but I found a work around for this.

When the fast charge pause incident is happening all you need to do is take the divice off the charger and turn it off and then back on.

After that you that you place it on the wireless charger and the problem dissapears.

Of course its quite annoying to do this every time however its the only solution I could find.

In the future (as the proce is already droping) I will probably buy the original (as this one looks like a knock off) S8 charger

Turn off/on wireless charging in advanced settings to fix wireless charging issue

Galaxy S8 Wireless Charging Issue - fix for some?

Fix that worked for me

Go to:

-Settings

-Device maintenance

-tap the battery Icon below "optimize now"

- tap the ... in top right corner and select advanced settings

Now I turned OFF both wired and wireless charging

-So turn OFF at least wireless and wired charging slider

-Then immediately turn wireless charging back on

If it works for you, then don't forget to turn wired charging back on... feel free to not if it mattered for you. I don't know that I'll get the chance to test wether that matters.
