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.

Does anyone have this Samsung Wireless Charging Pad Model EP-PG920IWUGUS? Is it compatible with Samsung Galaxy S8+? Is this wireless charging pad capable of fast charging or just standard charging?
Anyone have issues charging their S8 or S8+ with this specific charging pad?

I have that specific pad and I have had no issues. It does not fast charge though I've seen.

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.

I do not have fast wireless charging option in advanced settings

You have to use a fast wireless charger at least once before the option is shown...
I always use Samsung wireless charger to charge my phone. After update the latest firmware QG5 i noticed my phone takes 4 hrs to charge when i use wireless charger. How i enable this option.
I have wireless fast charger and i use it from a month without any problem it can charger my phone 0 too 100% in 90 min. But after this update it will take 4 hrs to charge the same phone.
that is definitly NOT possible.... 1.5 hourse wireless charging from 0-100%
that is the fastest time it is possible via CABLE charging...
Yes i achieve this when phone is switched off.
Anyway thanks because of you i found my real problem. I connect wireless charger to my previous wall charger which take much time to charge. I plugin s8 charger now all will be fine again take less time to charge.
Thanks

Thats it you need a QuickCharge 2.0 Wallplug and if you use a original Samsung wireless charger you may even need an original samsung adaptive fast charge wallplug. else the charger will only chare normal not fast. good that you found the problem. But I really can´t belive the 90minutes wireless from 0-100%..
Yes i have both Samsung's original wall charger and wireless charger.
And yes is possible when u charge your phone in switched off condition and make room temperature as low as possible. When battery goes 38°C and above charging time increase. Maintain battery temperature 25° to 30° for faster charging.
Are you on galaxy s8 and is it unlocked?

I would check your cable charger specs as well.

I fixed this issue a while ago on my own. You can fix the wireless charging has been paused problem by putting a piece of tape over the 2 closest pina in the middle on the end of a usb cable that plugs into any wall charger. This will leave only the power and the ground and it works with any charger I have tried the modded cable with.
And this whole time I thought it was just me, I'd put my S8 on a third party fast charger with a QC3.0 brick, and it would constantly go charge/pause/charge/pause, then eventually stay charging but it didn't seem to charge fast. I'll give it a shot with fast wireless charging turned off on my phone.
Same issue now for the last few months. It worked fine before but not wireless charging will not actually charge on both the official Samsung wireless charger or the after market one I have in my car. The display & battery settings both say it is Fast Charging but doesn't actually charge or frequently says wireless charging is paused.
I am using the Samsung Galaxy S8 PLus model SM-G955U with the Samsung Fast Charge Wireless Charging Stand Black Sapphire Model: 60-3692-05-XP as well as the Z-Edge 3221817 Triple Coil Qi Wireless Car Charger Dock in my car.
Both of the devices worked previously but stopped at some point unknown to me. HELP! I have the great products I spent money on just sitting there wasting space.

6There have been some initial reports of a "wireless charging paused" problem when attempting to "fast" wireless charge with certain chargers. I have experienced this myself, researched it, did some testing, and have some thoughts I think would be helpful to share. The YT link illustrates the problem: youtu.be/IkR3H1Tnlp0
tl;dr The S8/+ only "fast" wireless charges with an OEM Samsung charger. Third-party and knockoff "fast" wireless chargers will experience the "paused" issue. They can work as standard wireless chargers but must be paired with a power adapter that forces it (non Samsung Adaptive Fast Charger and no QC 2.0+ power adapters, etc.) Previous generation Samsungs, such as the S7/Edge and Note7 (R.I.P.), do not have this limitation.
The person in the YT video must have had a knockoff (one good indicator is the hard plastic "lip" on the stand should instead be a rubberized material). I have two knockoffs myself and my results are the same. I also have a third-party Choetech and both of the previous OEM versions; pad and stand. I do not have the new convertible stand.
The long version:
Before I start, please note that I make a clear distinction between a wireless charger and a power adapter. I refer to a wireless charger as the device which contains the inductive coils on which a smartphone rests upon for wireless charging. A power adapter is the device that plugs into a wall outlet and has a USB Type A port to supply the wireless charger with power via a USB cable (typically a USB Type A to micro USB cable). Basic stuff, I realize.
Initial reports from around the web, in particular the above YT video, pointed me in the right direction. According to my own testing and conclusions, the problem isn't the wireless charger or the power adapter but rather a seemingly intentional block placed by Samsung when attempting to use Samsung's "fast" wireless charging method on the new S8/+ with third-party or knockoff "fast" wireless chargers.
As you may know, the "fast" wireless charging method is a non-standard, proprietary Samsung technology, which is said to be compatible with standard Qi wireless charging. I have concluded that, apparently, the new S8/+ can now detect if a "fast" wireless charger is OEM or not. If it is not, you will experience the "paused" behavior when attempting to "fast" wireless charge an S8/+. However, standard wireless charging works fine on the few non-OEM "fast" wireless chargers I tested.
While you cannot select between the "fast" or standard wireless charging method by way of the wireless chargers themselves (or any that I've seen at least), you can force the wireless charging method based on the power adapter you pair the "fast" wireless charger with. Aha!
If you're like most who purchased a third-party "fast" wireless charger to use with a previous generation Samsung Galaxy, you may remember the fun of having to pair it up with the right kind of power adapter that would enable "fast" wireless charging, such as a QC 2.0+ power adapter. Using the "wrong" kind of power adapter should force a "fast" wireless charger to use standard wireless charging and then the S8/+ will no longer experience the "paused" problem. Obviously, this means the S8/+ will wirelessly charge at the standard rate.
I tested and was able to successfully "fast" wirelessly charge my S8+ with an OEM Samsung Fast Wireless Charging Pad (flat, lay down style) model EP-PN920, which is the first iteration of a "fast" wireless charger from Samsung. I was also able to successfully "fast" wirelessly charge with the next iteration wireless charger, the Samsung Fast Wireless Charging Stand (stand up style) model EP-PN930. Both were paired with a basic OEM Samsung Adaptive Fast Charger USB power adapter. I also tested the above wireless chargers paired with an AUKEY Quick Charge 2.0 Wall Charger power adapter model PA-U28 (5V/2.4A) and was able to successfully "fast" wireless charge my S8+ on the OEM Samsung wireless chargers.
I also tested a Choetech Fast Wireless Charger model T518. When paired with a power adapter that enables "fast" wireless charging, I experienced the "paused" behavior on my S8+. When paired with a power adapter that forced standard wireless charging, my S8+ was able to wirelessly charge at the standard rate without issue. This was the same result with two China knockoffs of the OEM stands (one good indicator is the hard plastic "lip" on the stand should instead be a rubberized material).
My reasoning behind this block being seemingly intentionally placed by Samsung seems pretty clear based on the above results. I think the "paused" behavior may not be intentional, however. It could also simply be a mishap with just a certain batch and Samsung may address the issue in the future. Here's to hoping, but don't hold your breath.
Suffice it to say, this is only my experience and yours might be different. Please do feel free to comment on your own experiences. I think it can be helpful to get additional perspective on the topic. Thank you.2I 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.2I 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.
