Samsung Fast Adaptive Travel Plug Charger. - General Accessories

Hi.
Samsung Fast Adaptive Travel Plug Charger.
I've just purchased a Samsung Galaxy s7 edge and decided to purchase a secondary Plug charger and Charging Pad.
This I purchased from a well known U.K Highstreet Store CEX.
These are listed for the s6 edge which I'm aware are compatible for the s7 edge.
On checking the Plug charger from the phone it says made in China.
On checking the spare one it says made in Vietnam.
Fake or not ?

Beware of USB cable and charger

I thought I had a bad ROM, but apparently it was a bad cable. And it seems as though the geniune cable does a "bit" more.
I didn't even think there would be a difference in between my Samsung Galaxy S3 cable and the Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 cable, but there is.
I've been using an app call Galaxy Current Lite to see why it's been taking 8 hours to charge from 4%-100%. I have used the original charger cable that came with my Note 8.0 as well as the original set that came with my SGS3. Both yield the same result. Galaxy Current Lite showed max 500ma was going through.
After being frustrated I took my Note 8.0 to a store with another Note 8.0 store display, plugged it in and check it with Galaxy Current app... load and behold it was getting 1800ma.
So apparently the cable does make a difference. So I went to buy the geniune Samsung travel kit, while I deal with warranty replacement from Samsung tomorrow. I also found out that using a cable that is for Note 8.0 via my SGS3 or Apple AC to USB also gave a 1100ma and 900ma respectively.
So if you are having issues SLOW charging... grab the app and check. It could be the cable. And if it is... DO NOT GET A GENERIC. I tried a generic charging ONLY cable with the original Samsung charger it yield 468ma
Hope this will help others

Let me first confirm this and also post some of my findings in the past.
I have 3 samsung oem ones all having issues and then a generic and another from a nokia and they are the ones I've been using as they are shorter + thicker and give me 1800 ma constantly. I don't have any issues with generic ones as long as you use original charger.
When my note 8 went to service center for mother board and screen replacement (liquid damage), I confirmed with tech if there was something special inside the samsung cable, and was told that though he cannot disclose that, but even if there was, it's not related to charging, told me to just use any good/decent quality cable.
The Nokia one I have is CA-101D and it's extremely short in length (few inches) but good enough for unattended charging on table.
Apart from galaxy current like, one can also use battery monitor widget and in it's settings set measuring method to samsung one and it will also start showing what current you are getting as well as track charge/drain cycles.
I purposely use a 0.7A to charge my Note 8 overnight..

Genuine or not is not the point. One should use a cable designed to carry the needed current. Some cables are designed to carry only 500mA or 1A, especially in the old days. Nowadays with the power hungry smart phones/tablets, you would want to use a cable that can carry at least 2A or even 3A. If you are not looking specifically for these spec and grab just any USB cable randomly, chances are you would be limiting the current. Certainly the Samsung cable that comes with your device would supply sufficient current. But if you don't feel like traveling with a dedicated cable for each one of your devices, just buy a 3A rated cable, it would work across all of your devices. A 3A cable would be future proof for a while.

I tried some current apps, and found them to drain my battery, so be careful.
I used 2 meter Sony, BlackBerry, no name brands, and a case logic 10 footer. All did very well with high current charging.
The OEM Samsung almost killed my Note 8.0 by fire! After a few months the thin wires shorted out at the micro usb plug, and super heated. Won't use Samsung cables anymore.
My issue is plug life, micro usb sux big time for plug in design. No wonder USB3 has become a popular change to manufacturers of chargeable devices.

Solve Your Fast Wireless Charging Issue

I used lots of wireless chargers and fast wireless chargers. Most old fast wireless chargers worked well on my old Note 5 and S7E, but didn't work for my new s8 and s8+. Some stopped after a short working, while some never worked. Even my old Samsung fast wireless charger did that issue. I felt very frustrated. Then I bought a new CHOETECH stand fast wireless charger and got it received yesterday. Luckily, this one "fast charge" well on both my S8 and S8+, as well as my Note 5 and S7E.
I found many people have the same issue, so I share the stand fast wireless charger link here: https://www.amazon.com/CHOETECH-Wireless-Charger-Charging-Qi-enabled/dp/B010B6PSMC/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8
Samsung Galaxy 8S Wireless Charging Issue Solved?
Use a Samsung Fast Wireless Charger with the Galaxy 8S phone with an Otter Box case. When I first got the phone charger worked fine with the phone in the Otter Box case, which has a rubber skin. Began having issues after 4-6 weeks and began removing rubber skin of the Otter Box case. That may work for a while, but recently had to plug the charger in the phone to charge it. I noticed that all issues seem to disappear if I leave the wireless charger unplugged while not in use. If I only plug it in to use it, then I can lay the Galaxy 8S with the Otter box case on the charger with no issues. I wonder if a charger is succumbing to some EMF resulting in some week capacitance affecting the wireless charging. MMMM. Glad it seems to work....for now.

Do you work for Choetech? Seems like a lot of your posts deals with their products.
I have a choetech charger. I would say it is ok
Heat issues?
Yes mine has stopped working as well. The night i had it on the charger it only charged 20 % and both the phone and charger were hot. I have the samsung fast charge with the padding. It only worked for a month. Called samsung and doing a warranty exchange. Gonna sell the junk once i get the new one.
Anyone have any experience with either one of these? They look like they same charger, just rebranded.

Did you do a warranty exchange for the phone or charger ?
I have three chargers and starting yesterday, none of them are charging my s8.
I factory reset and still does not work. Cable charging does work
It does not even recognize being On the wireless charger.
Samsung says I have to send in the phone.
Any suggestions? It is only 3 weeks old

If you have a thick case then it might not charge. Try without. But yeah i did a warranty exchange. Make sure you have proof of purchase and call the number on the box. I told them that my phone only charged 20 percent last night and was very hot both the phone and charging pad. And also tell them i have tried on my wifes or whom ever you want to say, wireless charger and it works just fine. Just so they dont give you crap.
I bought it from them 3 weeks ago!!! Just a week over the exchange time so I have to send it back.
Is it still waterproof etc when you get it back?

I've purchased the Pleson and it works great. I have a Spigen Neo Hybrid with no issues fast charging.
The best thing about the Pleson is it turns off the LED charging indicator so you're starting at a bright green nightlight all night long.
Highly recommend it.

I've had previous models that would stop fast charging but continued slow charging. I can't explain it... but if I unplugged the charger and waited a minute or would start fast charging again.
Not sure why this works...

Wireless Charging LG G7

Background :
One of the reasons of getting the LG G7 was placing it on and off (for top ups). I did not dwell (yet) into getting a separate wireless charging pad (and I haven't really been charging it much that ways yet either). I stumbled upon my lost Samsung Wireless charging pad which I used extensively on the S series earlier (unable to post link as I am a new user). Please google Samsung EP-PG920I Wireless Charger.
Questions and Concerns :
I once started charging it wireless from 3% or so and observed that suddenly it would stop charging on its own. It would not start charging again until it was lifted and placed again and again in some time it would stop charging. I thought it might be a one-off issue and tried to do the same the other day and it did the exact same thing all over again the next time as well. I'm assuming it has something to do with the charger pad. I did read somewhere that the phone has its cut off if it reaches a particular temp while charging and wondering if that is what is happening ?
Has anyone here faced the same issue ?
Is anyone here using the wireless charging option extensively and have no issues whatsoever ? If yes, please specific make / brand / setup in use for charging. Also please specify if the phone has been successfully charged say more than 50% on wireless.
Looking forward to discussions on the same.
I don't use wireless charging.. But from what your describing, it might just be time, to purchase a newer one.. I would hate to think, that the Samsung works only with Samsung.. But nothing would surprise me these days..
Bump!
No one using this feature ?

I don't have any issues with it. Are you sure that the power brick is providing enough power. It should provide at least 5V 2amps in order to work. I use the stock brick to power my wireless charger. If it's not that go to a retail store and find a wireless charger to test on.

Appreciate your response. I used my stock g7 adaptor on wireless samsung charging pad. So it is basically pumping out as much as required. Not sure if it is the charging pad which is at fault for not able to handle it maybe ? (Which actually is not its fault?). Pls post details of what setup you are using without any issues. Unfortunately, I havent seen any big retail (or small) advertising or even having wireless charging pads on display for me to walk in and check this out. In India this concept has not caught up and not many are interested in this feature. Many might have the option but still not use the feature.
Your EP-PG920I doesn't support Qualcomm QI charging at all. It doesn't support even new Samsung devices like S8 or S9, it supports S6 and S7 only.
Samsung supported at that time only WPC 1.1 standard and no Qualcomm QI. That's why EP-PG920I isn't full compatible with your LG 7.
I have no problem with QI charging. Use any 15W QI certified fast wireless charger like https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07H783993/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_ZgejCbRN366QD

Much appreciated with the explanation. I guess I have a better understanding of this now. So while it does actually charge it is not the recommended way and the issue faced is because it ultimately breaks midway as not fully supported cause of the limitation. I will give one of the better chargers and the QI certified fast chargers a go.
I use original Samsung Fast wireless charger, model is EP-NG930BBEGWW. Its connected with original Samsung S7 fast charger. This wireless charger work without any problems with S7 Edge, S6, S9+, and G7. In specs: FAST CHARGE (Compatible with Galaxy Note8, S8, S8+, S7, S7 Edge, Note 5, S6 Edge+) / Qi (Compatible with Galaxy S6, S6 Edge and Qi certified devices). Only "problem" with G7 is it charging slow. Very slow - from 5 to 100% maybe 3+ hours. But this is no meaning for me, I charge my phone at night. I read G7 doesn't support fast wireless charging. Here in other thread people said support fast wireless charging, but it isn't.

Just like the case in mine it may be working but not completely. From the specs I see it has a max output of 1000mA that may be the reason for slow charge (i guess)
Yes charging slow but I don't have your problems with charging. Stop or anything else you write. Maybe you have to get other wireless charging pad.

OnePlus Dash Charger with Samsung S20 Ultra 5g

Afternoon everyone! Hope all is keeping safe. I recently bought a Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra after having OnePlus phones (from their OnePlusOne!!!)
So in my house, all I have are Dash chargers (in my car I have a dash charger as well). I've found I'm not able to use the dash chargers with the s20.... I get a message
"Check your charger connection - Make sure cable and charger are properly connected"
Are the Dash chargers not compatible with the S20? I understand that the two quick charge technologies are not compatible, but surely the 'normal' speed charge would be....
Thanks!

No it is not compitable and don't try it again , it is not a standard charger and the used charging algorithm is not compitable with any device except one plus and some cheap smartphones that don't have internal protection circuits

Question Sooo confused. Chargers, CPU

I'm getting so sick of Samsung. All I want is a watch that can make/take calls away from the phone and has ECG and oximeter. I got a Galaxy Watch 4 LTE but couldn't find a carrier that would activate it. Now I bought the same watch with the required S21 FE. Neither watch nor phone included a charger. I know from previous experience how difficult it is to find the proper fast charger for a Samsung device. What wall charger should I get for these? What about a desktop wireless charger?
I'm also seeing lots of conflicting info about which CPU the S21 FE has. So which is it?
Download CPU Z and you know which CPU you got.
Buy a 25Watt charger.
I have the original Samsung ep-ta800n 25W fast charger (amazon) without problems.
When I leave something to recharge all the night I use an old charger 5V 500 mA that protect more batteries with his slow charge.
So is the S21 using Power Delivery instead of Adaptive Fast Charging?
S21 fe and other recent Samsung use the super fast charging.
A correct 25 watt charger is samsung ep-ta800X where X is various letters (I suppose for different colors, different plug…).
Well I bought a 25W Snug wall charger and get Super fast charging but weird thing is my phone now says it doesnt charge fast charging nor super fast charging... even thou it takes roughly 1h20min to fully charge
