Safe to use wireless charging overnight? - Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Just as title says... is it safe as if it were plugged into an outlet?

I don't see why not.
I have done it a few times already. Just stays slightly warmer I think. I use a pma wireless charger if that makes a difference or not.

I got the official Samsung one best buy gave out. Think that's Qi

This is why I wish manufacturers would start posting maximum surface temp specs for their chargers.
With that said, I'm guessing that Samsung's is reasonably built and won't get too hot. It also helps that part of the device hands "off" of the charger (that's also part of why I prefer circular chargers to rectangular ones).
Just make sure you keep the charger itself on a cool surface, and if you're one of those people who likes it to be 85 degrees in your house, you might not want to leave it on overnight. You could honestly probably rig the thing to vibrate itself off of the charger after a certain time lol.

I have been charging my S5 wirelessly every night for the past 6 months. I just used a low amperage charger so that it does not charge too quickly/ heat up too much. I am going to do the same with my S6 Edge.

You mean you bought a charger with low amps or you use a low amp plug that's not necessarily for the charger?

I use an original Samsung wireless mat and am using a low amp wall plug with it.

I got the duracel power mat that was from amazon.com and I leave it on overnight. The power mat seems to not stay constantly charging it. When I wake up my battery is full and it's not excessively overheating. It's a PMA charger, not a Qi one.

Well I've got the original Samsung Qi charger with the fast charge plug for the phone and I plan on charging mine overnight tonight. If the phone blows up I'll report back! I doubt it'll be an issue as the charger will surely only draw as much current from the power supply as it needs, and in-turn charge the phone at the recommended rate. I've been topping it up throughout the day on the wireless pad while I set up the phone and while it got warm I wouldn't say it got overly hot.
Edit - Charges quite fast on the wireless pad! Only been on there about two hours and it's charged from 24% to 97%! Certainly quicker than my old Nexus 4 charged. Was warm when I picked it up but will keep it on the pad overnight anyway to keep it topped up and I'll report back if it explodes!

Mine made it through the night without exploding lol... in fact, mine was cool to the touch and was not even charging when I picked it up... I think the samsung charger must shut off once the phone reaches 100%
Edit: the technology must be built into the s6 edge because I just put it back on once it dropped to 99% and it charged to 100 then the light on the charger turned green, the phone lit up and said fully charged and then it was no longer charging. Definitely seems safe to leave on overnight.

Safe Wireless Charging
I am a traveler who takes a lot of photographs with my iPhone and Samsung S6 and so far Wireless Charging has been working well for me. I have proved that in many occasions while currently here in Southeast Asia (Cambodia as of this writing). Before leaving the US I made sure I was equipped so I shopped around and found a variety of safe Wireless Charging devices. IN my travels I would find myself tired and exhausted but need to charge so tendency is I fall asleep and wake up the next day and the device has cooled down after reaching 100% (during my sleep presumably). Look for devices like these.
I hope this helps!

Can someone please test the GS2 charge time?

Hi guys
I'm an iphone 3gs owner at the mo but my contract is up in a week and after doing A LOT of research over the past 3 weeks, i was pretty much decided that the GS2 was gonna be my next phone.
Then i foolishly visited the xda forums! lol (in fairness, it probably still will be my next phone).
But seriously though, setting aside the various issues some people are clearly having (reboots, battery drain, etc) what shocked me the most was hearing about the low-powered charging mechanism (apologies if i've gotten this slightly wrong).
I've heard that it only charges at ~650mah, but that the phone can easily surpass this under load (~850mah?), meaning that you could be charging the phone at the same time as using it, only to find the battery going DOWN. Can someone confirm if this is true? If it is, then i'm gobsmacked that Samsung could make such a c0ck-up. Imagine if you're using the GPS (a real battery hog) while driving (and plugged-in to the ciggy lighter) only to find that the battery dies before you get to your destination! lol. I've heard about the heat this puppy produces, i wonder did they limit the juice to stop it from burning a hole through the floor
Even though i'm bored to t1ts with my iphone (and i hate apple), what i love about it is that when i don't actually use the phone for extended periods of the day (which is quite often, due to work) it still retains it's charge really well (i get insanely good battery life). I would be really annoyed if i found the GS2 battery dropping any more than, say, 30% over the course of a busy working day (say 9am to 7pm) with virtually no use.
So, to finally get to my point! My iphone charges REALLY fast. I'm worried that it will take a stupidly long time to fully charge the GS2. Can some kind person please do an experiment for me, and see how long it takes theirs to fully charge (from fully dead to 100%) with the screen off and the phone not doing anything major in the background?
Also, it would be good to know how this compares to the GS2's competitors.
Sorry for the long post guys!
my phone is at 33% at 8:08
Will let you know how I get on. I have it on charge now
I think mine takes around 3 hours from empty using samsungs supplied charger but I will try to do a test for a more accurate time. How does this compare to the iphone?
Yep mine takes about 3 hours as well from empty to about 90% using the wall charger, then it goes on trickle charge the rest of the way. This is on standby as well.
Yepp takpes about 3 hours to get fully charged. however, i've been using the phone as a wifi hotspot all the time and yes, it increases charging time but it doesn't really matter when it takes so long anyways

65% at 9am
It takes almost 3.5-4 hours to charge it with stock charger from empty to full.
It takes a bit more than 5 hours to charge from empty full using USB charging in my laptop.
Found out the hard way:
Charging with original EU charger AND heavy use (downloading, Wifi tethering, map ops etc.) MADE it drain faster than charging.
Two nights before left it during night with orig. charger and made it in 8 hrs only to 84% while on.
With Hama 0,8 amps charger full in 2hrs from empty and stays full even with heavy work.
NO heat issue though !
Methinks the charger is crap

if you look thru the battery driver source code, samsung capped the charging at 650 mA it seems. not sure why, other android phones use the full 1 amp.
so samsung either saw a heat problem and lowered it, or that's just the way they do their phones charging. who knows.

Wow, ok. As someone who uses 3G a lot when our internet connection goes down (all too often), I hope the charge will end up keeping up with the battery drain. Otherwise I'll be tempted to change that source and probably end up frying my phone (if it ever gets in stock :|)
Thanks for the info

full charge ~ 1 hr

has anyone else noticed how quickly this phone charges? I just wanted to give some props to HTC.. I forgot to plug in the phone last night, and when I woke up this morning it was 0% dead. I plugged it in, and got ready for work, an hour later when I had to leave for work, it was at 96%!!
hell ya
Nice, haven't really paid much attention actually.
All I can say is that the ReZound is everything the my Thunderbolt should've been, including the battery charge and life.
Hmm.. I mainly just charge in my car & it seems like it takes forever(close to 3 hours). I spend most of my time driving otherwise i'd plug it into the wall and see. I guess it also doesn't help that the phone is also always being used while charging to.
However, battery life wise, it lasts 2 - 3 of constant use before it dies.

yeah, the motorola car charger or the htc one seem to be the best bet..you have to look at amps.
most ****ty car chargers are like 500ma, which will take like 3-4 hours to charge..you have to get the ones that match the AC charger, so around 1amp (1000ma) and you're set. the motorola is the closest i've seen, at like 950ma or so. charges it pretty well.
i have the motorola p513 rapid car charger & that's the one that seems to take forever. i've also got a 400watt power inverter & have tried just using the cable & wall plug that came with the phone and it doesn't seem to make much difference either. i've tried it in both the limo and my van... i know it's not a problem battery-wise with the van as there's 6 car batteries in it.
shazbot!...
I have the extended battery for mine, it seems to go from 10% to 100% in about four hours. I think for most phones it'd about three hours or so for a stock battery. So it looks like it does charge faster for me as well.

i used to have this problem until i found there was a difference between charging cables and chargers. I dont mean the amperage size, i mean, some chargers/cables put your phone into USB charging mode, which is much much slower than AC charging.
THere is an app on the market called 'current widget' that can tell your charge rate. I used it on an older phone that was compatible with the widget (rooted rommed and cust kernel) and found that the charger I was using wasnt "AC" charging my phone, even though it was an AC charger. I went through a couple of cable charger combinations until i found the ones that worked right.
I have a USB car charger too (the kind you just plug a USB cable into). Using the widget i found that the USB cable I was using in my car was not 'AC' Charging the phone, and as a result, if i used navigation or anything like that, the phone would deplete power faster than it was getting it. I changed cables and problem was solved.
You can download the widget and use it on the rezound, but it does not update correctly, nor does it seem to be as accurate as it should.
For example, if I am not charging the phone, it should say "0 mA, but it does not. I have noticed though that when I am getting a good charge, the charging rate does show an increased rate, and because I am failure with the app, ive used it to confirm the charging rates.
You can try to download the app and run it. Plug in your phone, and look at the 'mA'. While its not charging it will be ~100 or so. during charging it should be up in the 500-600 range. but the app does not update as fast as it should, so you have to let it sit a bit before the number will change (normally it changes in realtime) but after charging for 5 min or so , if you still see numbers <200 you are not charging at the optimal rate. Try a new charger / cable.
I have 6 chargers, lol. All of them are 850mA chargers.
Here's a screenshot from this morning, I went to bed with at at 5%, and looks like it was full charged within 2 hours time. Not bad!

You know current widget shows how much your phone is using right? It never says 0mA when your phone is charging because your phone is using current when it is in use. It never goes to zero at any time actually unless your phone is dead.

that is not the way it worked with the droid charge with a custom kernel. It showed your charging current. or more accurately, the amount of current that was going to the battery for charging. When the charger was unplugged, it showed 0mA.
Maybe we are talking about different apps

Hehe... That "Current Widget"... When I use my Belkin USB car charger dongle, it fluctuates between 100 - 300mA... When I use my Power Inverter, it's 400 - 900(depending if the engine I'd running or not.
The bizarre thing though, is when it's not even plugged in/charging, the widget still shows mA fluctuations and makes me wonder if the thing is even working or not.
Alright peeps, I just got this Belkin 2.1amp (2100mA) usb car dongle "rapid charger" from Walmart. The packaging says it's for tablets so I'll see how it holds up against the mighty Rezound.

Battery Longevity and Charging Techniques?

Here's the scoop, just purchased the car dock designed for the EVO from Sprint and installed it into my semi tractor. I've never worried about how long the battery will last, in terms of months and years. Now, the battery isn't easily replaceable and my phone will be plugged in 24/7. Should I limit the amount of time that my phone is plugged into a 12v outlet? Is it fine to keep the charger plugged in non-stop?

First, it is not good to leave a phone on the charger 24/7. Doing that could cause the phone to over heat and mess up the soldering done to the charger port. I would suggest leaving your phone on the charger when it is needed. When your phone gets below probably 50 percent you can plug it back up, but don't just leave it on there. It is not fine to leave the phone on the charger non-stop. I hope I have answered your question.

DT-900 charging problem

For those of you who have the wireless charger. Do you notice a significant battery life shortage when you charge the phone using the wireless charger? Ever since I use the wireless charger, the battery life doesn't seem to last as long as charging the phone using the traditional route.

I just got mines today from AT&T. Will keep an eye on how it last and let ya know.
I've been using the charging stand for a week or so and haven't noticed any difference.
I've been using mine for over a week, and I've noticed the phone charges faster than with the USB cable (to the wall outlet), and the battery charge seems to last just as long... maybe you have a bad battery?
also, I found this on wikipedia about the qi standard: "Regulation of the output voltage is provided by a digital control loop where the power receiver [phone] communicates with the power transmitter[charger] and requests more or less power. "
I have a thin plastic case. Do I need to take the case of to charge the phone? want to know before I buy
I've actually seen a slight improvement when using the charging plate. Through my typical usage during the day (7 a.m. through 6 p.m.) I was coming home with 50% battery. Now, I'm coming home with about 70%.
Don't be too impressed though. I don't use push on anything at all, and I don't use any kind of social media.
I'm betting you have a defective unit. My first 920 did exactly this. I would set in on the plate, take note of the battery percentage, take a 10 minute shower, come back, and the percentage jumped from 88% to 100%. There's no way it could charge that fast. Not even the USB cable can charge it that quickly and that charges at a higher amperage and voltage than the plate. Sometimes I saw it jumping from 95% to 100% in a matter of seconds. So I called AT&T and after countless hours of talking with employees that knew nothing, I finally was put on to someone who helped me get the phone exchanged. My new 920 does not have this problem and a full charge on the plate lasts just as long as on the plug. My first 920 barely made it 8 hours with normal use (texting mostly). My new 920 makes it past my 8 hour shift with 75% to spare.
Had to replace mine. White light on the plate came on but no response on phone. Wireless charging coil was faulty... Inductive charging failed and that sucks... It wasn't a bad flaw but when I spend 450 I want a functioning device. Now, I have it.

Charging Dock Battery Life

I think you misunderstand the terminology here.
The cradle can charge the watch to 100% if connected to a USB charger, which also charges the cradle's battery at the same time.
The cradle will only charge the watch to ~50% when disconnected from a USB charger.
Watch holds about 300mA of charge. Crade holds about 350mA but the thing is there is always lost in electricity.
Long story short and simply speaking - during charging electrons and all that stuff needs to move from one place to another which generates heat... Well... not that much heat that we could feel or notice but it's quite a lot for 350mA battery which is tiny amount of energy.
Also if you are playing with your watch while it's charging from a disconnected cradle you will use energy out from a cradle and there will be not enough to charge a watch.
The other thing is that while it's charging tilting it in any direction lights up the screen which consume energy. So if it's in your bag/backpack/pocket charging from a cradle and you are walking you may even don't know about it and in the end of the day it won't charge as much as it would with the screen off for all that time while it was charging.
I think it's quite simple enough now for everybody right?
I'm getting to 60%
I've just tried it out and from fully charged cradle I got 77% from 30%... We can say it's 50% as I use "Face Watch Always On"
When I ran my test, my Gear S had run down to 0% battery. Then, I powered off the Gear S and stuck it on the charging cradle. When I turned on my Gear S, it had 60%.
My experience is ~60% when powered off, 45-50 when on but screen off and 30-40% with various tasks. My manual also says 50% capacity. They should've just made the dock bigger with higher capacity. I can't imagine there are too many people who wear it with the dock

Yes that is how the charging cradle is designed (see the manual). For full charge you'll need to plug it in. The cradle is designed to give you an extra boost if you're out and can't plug it in.

Yea. It sound like a refurbished watch with a unoriginal charger. Bought a couple from aliexpress for 2 bucks each. They still work great tho. I have one with me all of the time and a nice 6000mah battery pack with 2 usb output. I can charge my phone and my watch at the same time
