Wireless Charging Paused Problem - Samsung Galaxy S8 / S8+

How long have you had it? I have that exact same charger and it no longer fast-charges (or charges at all). It now charges for about 10-15 seconds, then the light starts blinking white and it stops charging altogether! It's infuriating.

Edit: but it DID fast-charge properly for the first 4 days or so.

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+.

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.

Why? Does it matter how a wireless charging plate connects to its charger? Once connected that's it - and they come with a cable.

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...

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.

It's like you read my mind.. LOL... (it's actually just common sense I guess).

I am good at mind reading ...

Ah, OK, that makes sense!

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.

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.
