Samsung Convertible Wireless charger? - Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories

Ok I got my 128gb card and my Samsung wireless convertible charger today. I also have last year's wireless charger. I set my new wireless charger up and when connected my phone it says charging. When I put my phone on my older one it says fast charging. Also when I put it on the wall plug it says fast charging. Is anyone else having these problems?

Nope. My new Samsung charger came with a new adaptive fast charge adapter and usb c cable. Says fast charging. I'd never spend that much on a Samsung model. Still doesn't charge properly in portrait mode. My $15 youshare wireless fast charge base works just as well

I figured it out I have a 3.0 charging hub and when it is connected to that it does not fast charge. But if I hook my phone straight to the hub it fast charges. So it has to be a Samsung wall plug for it to fast charge.

Yup I have a 6 port anker qc hub but the fast chargers all require the stock wall adapter for some reason. The aftermarket ones are the same way

The Samsung wireless charger from last year works on my Anker hub. It's just the new one. Not a big deal its not like it's going to charge any faster.

It could be charger specific using different protocols. I have an Mbox 4 port qc 2.0 car charger that will not charge the note 8 in fast charge mode. I had to purchase another charger that is qc 3.0 to get it working.

Notice the packaging for the new (Note 8) Convertible charger has been changed to a slimmer, nicer box. Wonder if they changed the charger it's self?
I have noticed mine will only say wireless charging and not fast wireless charging sometimes. If I take the phone off and pit it back on it jump to fast wireless charging.

I found a rapid car 2.0a car charger, fyi

Just got it in yesterday.. Tried it today, works great! No notification of "slow charging" and it goes much quicker than my regular standard usb charger does (the old ones for my gnex).
I have this one, the USB plug labeled 2A works for fast charging with my OEM LG micro USB cable, and the micro USB cable that came with my original Motorola Droid Razr.

Check out "ventev" product line up. They are a little pricey, but they have a great warranty as well as smart chip technology that stops the charge when the phone is fully charged.

I'd love to get pointed to original lg USB cable.. Greatly appreciated

Correct me if I'm wrong, But isn't 2A too high a charge rate for the G2?? The base for the GNEx is .15A, which is why we get the slow charge indication. The charge port that comes with the G2 is rated at .3A. I would think that the rated 2A charge in this thread would damage the battery over a period of time.
The stock lg charger (AC) is rated at an OUTPUT of 1.8 amps. So these should be fine in a pinch for car charging. The gnex was 1.0

A 2A port will give you Quick Charge. I'm pretty sure you can have over 2A on a port, and the device will only pull as much power as it needs. As long as the port is rated 5V, it'll be fine. It's 2A/3A/whatever available, not how much the charger forces into the plug. Kinda like how a home outlet is rated at 120V and usually 15A; devices will need to be rated for 120V and will pull only as much amperage as they need.
I might get this one because it's compact and has two ports at 1A and 2A.

I'm considering something similar... but then I'm going to have to find a USB cable that's confirmed to do rapid charging. Might just go with the OPs

Not all LG G2s can wireless charge. Supported mostly on Verizon G2s If I recall. Any Qi compatible charger would work.

I have D802 Italian....
I have read in the specs of the 802, that it is compatible with standardi qi wireless....but i have some doubt....
Hi all,
I would like to know if anyone knows if there is a wireless charger compatible with the LG2 D802, please ?
I saw in the net this things but i don't know if i need to add this to my phone for the wireless charger...
Best regards.
+1 any news please ? Thank
Yes that micro usb QI charger will work with the G2. It sticks onto the back of the phone, or you may fit it between the phone and a case.
The charge will be between 0.4mah and 1mah which is slower then using the cable and plug supplied by LG,
Well, thank you for the advice.
But can you tell me what is the best solution for an Qi wireless charger for the LG2 d802, please ?
Best regards.

Are you asking if your phone supports wireless charging or what charger to use? If it's already wireless capable, any QI charger will work. If it's not you'll need to add a module like the one you posted and use it with any QI charger you want. There's separate threads on chargers already open, take a look at them for suggestions.

I believe ONLY the VS980 Verizon model has Qi Charging. I have a Verizon model and charge off of the Nokia Charger from post 2, a Samsung S4 Qi Charger plate, and a cheap $10 Qi Chinese brand Qi plate. All work differently but work.
If you have another version of the LG G2 (non-Verizon) then you have to use the Universal Receiver Module from post #5. Several people have used it and confirmed it works.
Qi Wireless Charging is always slower then a fast charge USB charge. It is Faster then a slow standard 5v 500mAh charge though.
The Universal Receiver Module has a thickness that won't allow the super ultra thin feather cases to work. You'll need a TPU case or other to cover it up. The Nokia Qi Chargers are my favorite. They have a barrel plug for power, which sucks, but they have a very awesome placement sensors. Most Qi Chargers require placing the phone in a specific spot before it will sync up. The Nokia has several Qi transmitters in it so it is pretty easy to just drop and go.
AT&T Wireless had those Nokia chargers on sale for $5. I bought 2 (Office and Work). I use my Samsung microUSB Charging plate for travel.
Hi, thank you for yours replies !
At the moment I'm not at home so I will check your links when I comeback. But I see if I put the universal receiver module into my phone then I can't plug anymore my usb cable. I said that because if I want to switch from my normal usb charger and the universal module, I must need to unplug the universal receiver module, no ? Or it's exist an universal receiver with a usb plug integrated ?
For your info I have the QuickWindow case for the LG2. I hope it's compatible...
Thank you for your advices !
Best regards.
wireless charging pad for Verizon LG G2 VS980
I just received this wireless charging pad and it actually works! Only $3.48 USD with free shipping!!!
http://www.ebay.com/itm/281513176459
It doesn't come with AC adapter, only microUSB cable. It also doesn't seem to work with fast 2 amp AC adapters. I had to use an old 1A adapter. It doesn't affect speed since wireless is 1A maximum anyway. Just make sure have an old 1A adapter before you buy.

I have 3 of the Qi wireless TYLT chargers. They are great - they sit at a perfect angle to put on your nightstand or desk. They were pricey, but I got a 50% off coupon a while back and have 2 for our nightstands (husband and wife) and 1 for me at the office.
Thanks!

Anker Quick Charge 3.0 (Charger Review)

*Disclaimer*.....the S7 does not support Quick Charge 3.0. It only supports 2.0 but I may be picking up the G5 or HTC 10 which does support it.
I needed a new/extra charger so I figured I'd get something that supports the latest Quick Charge technology.
The charger itself feels well made. The prongs fold in for traveling purposes and it doesn't block the outlet/outlets sitting next to it. In regards to noise this charger makes none of it. Those who have used cheap chargers know the humming/buzzing noise I'm referring to. It's extremely annoying.
Now onto the part that really matters. I haven't had the time to compare this charger to the stock Samsung charger in regards to really putting them through the paces but early results look promising for the Anker.
I started the charge process with quick charge enabled at 5% and started a timer for 30 minutes. The stock Samsung charger was able to bring the battery to 43% while the Anker charger brought the battery to 52%.
Within the next few days I will do a test from 5% to 100% both with quick charge enabled and disabled.
On a side note I also picked up a 6 foot kevlar wrapped Anker micro USB cable. It feels well made and the connections are nice. I probably wouldn't have bought it if it wasn't on sale but I needed a new long micro USB cable.
So far I'd have to say that if you need another charger and you want Quick Charge 3.0 for another phone then go ahead and grab one. If you don't really need another charger or don't need Quick Charge 3.0 then I wouldn't waste the money on one unless you really want the slightly faster charging for the S7 Edge.

No, it will charge at the same speed as a QC 2.0 charger since there S7/S7E don't support QC 3.0
That's exactly what I asked, re qc2.0 but thanks for clarification, I wasn't sure if qc3.0 was 'backwards compatible' kind of thing

It is backwards compatible with QC 2.0. I did a test of those chargers QC 2.0/3.0, Wireless, fast wireless that you can see in my signature. The charge times are identical as you will see.
awesome, cheers dude

Yes, quick charge 3.0 compatible with all qc2.0 supported devices, like S7 edge.
So I search on Amazon and find that Anker, iClever, Aukey released their new quick charge 3.0 usb chargers.
Could you check the numbers with Galaxy Charging Current?
When you refer to the Samsung stock charger, do you mean the wired one or the Samsung Fast Charge wireless charger?

Wired. I have no use for wireless chargers.
Once you go wireless you don't go back. lol I hate wires. I have four wireless chargers. Three were pretty much free. With T-Mobile Jump (phone junkie) I just sell my fast charging cablez and headphones for a few bucks since I don't need anymore. So why didn't Samsung put 3.0 charging in the S7 Edge?
I guess they designed the phone before quick charge 3.0 was available? Maybe it hurt they're bottom line? I don't know but whatever the reason it was a stupid decision.
The reason I don't like wireless chargers is because the only time I ever charge my phone is either in the car or while laying in bed. In both places I like using the phone while it charges.

No, QC has it as part of the SoC, si its supported technically but Samsung chose not to use it for an unknown reason.
They disabled it in the Snap dragon version because the other phone with their own SOC wouldn't support it so to keep the 2 on parity they disabled ours.

Fast charge only works with wall charger

Neither my portable charger or my car charger will fast charge. Both used to fast charge back before with my S7.
Is there something different about the note 8 that prevents it from quick charging? Although if you look at the time remaining till fully charged it isn't much below the plugged in time.

Nothing different on Note 8, should work fine. Have you tried another cable? Cheap cables are usually the main culprit & the stock Samsung cables IMO are not quality cables.
Also it's not uncommon for aftermarket chargers to have the QC circuitry fail. I've have 2 Tronsmart chargers fail, one a car charger, the other AC. Still charges but not fast charge. I usually trust & have good experience with Anker stuff but I have had an Anker power bank fail for fast charge. But on that power bank it was a defect, it failed right away as where the Tronsmart charger I had failed after 6 months or so. Most of my cables are Anker & I haven't had any issues with any of the Anker cables I've had since fast harging came out.
I use Amazon cables. The one in my house will fast charge with the wall charger but not with the portable charger.

Here is the difference in charge time left between the two charges using the same cable.

Try charging to 20-30% then try the car charger again & see if switches to fast charge then.
I thought that fast charging was made by the phone comunicating with the charger an asking it to switch from 2A at 5v to 1.67 A at 9 volts, fast charging being a two part process, the device able to accept it, and a charger able to switch amperage and voltage, in samsung devices normal charge is made at 10W, (2A x 5V) and fast charge at 15W (1.67A x 9V), but, again, the charger must be able to switch this parameters

Best Charging adapter and cable ?

So when I bought the phone I didn't get the Original charger that come in the box.
I have been using a Ugreen 20W PD+ Ugreen PD cable.
But the charging patterns are very weird. Sometimes it changes at 4000mA, sometimes 2500, sometimes 1500, even 500mA.
Can anyone explain and suggest the most suitable charger with fast charging?

I highly recommend the Belkin 27 watt USB C charger. What makes it A Cut Above the Rest is that it not only has Qualcomm 4+ fast charge but also PD 3.0. This means that it supports Wireless fast charge accessories unlike most USC-C fast charge adapters which only have PD 3.0. It's only $11 w/ free shipping right now on ebay. And it's Belkin so it's made well.

For $12 you can get one with a high quality 1M usb cable.

Another accessory I recommend to everyone, is a magnetic detachable USB C cable, These are upgraded design that have a very strong magnet that does not accidentally detach easily. It supports PD 3.0 & QC4+ fast charge & data transfer. Using this cable will significantly reduce any wear on your usb c port. It swivels 360° so at any angle you can use the cord and it won't put strain on your phone.
I use it so that it is plugged in to my one port USB C wall plug and I can switch out and plug in any device (usbc , micro USB, iPhone). When my phone is done charging I'll plug in my 18650 battery charger or I'll recharge a flashlight or I'll even plug in my tablet all using the same cord. Very very cool. It comes in 1M & 2M length. It only comes with 1 magnetic attachment( your choice), so you have to buy more if you want to use more than one device, but it's worth it.
