Hello everybody!
I've got two questions:
Since I'll be receiving my direly awaited S6 Edge 64gb tomorrow, I have two questions which I couldn't really get any good answers for.
The first one is about the speed of charging. Since the battery in the S6E can't be switched so easy, I'm a bit concerned about battery health, especially since I plan on using the phone for a long time (budget is tight). Now with my last phone (which unfortunately I had to sell in order to come up with the money for the S6E) I used one of my computers USB ports to charge the phone over night. I read somewhere, that it's better for the battery to be charged slowly and since my computer powers the front USB even when switched off, I always used it to slowly charge the phone overnight. It would be faster charging with a wall outlet, but I didnt need it to, so I figured it would be beneficial for the health of the battery.
Is that actually true? Is there maybe even some way to keep the phone from charging higher than 80%?
My second question is about wireless charging. I'd really like to get a wireless charger for my desk at work, however I will be using this ->
*cant post the link, it's the "Galaxy S6 Edge Case, Spigen [CURVED BUMPER] Neo Hybrid Series Case for Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge - Satin Silver (SGP11420)" case
case on the phone. Are there any wireless chargers, that will go "through" that case?
If so, do these chargers charge so fast, that they let the battery health deteriorate? Do they stop charging when the battery is full or is there danger for overcharging or heat building up because of the case?
Thank you guys very much in advance for answers, I'm just really looking forward to the phone and I'm eager to do everything right ^^:fingers-crossed:
You shouldn't worry really. There are rampant unjustified myths about quick-charging. If your device is designed for that feature, the processor and software work in conjunction to prevent damage to the battery. The turbo charger provides large amperage to charge quickly, then reduces at an appropriate level. I've used turbo or quick charging since the Motorola Droid Maxx 4 years ago. Today, those Maxx still function as well as the first day. I do not purchase any device that does not have turbo charging. As far as wireless charging, a decent charging plate should have no issue. I use only TYLT and I build furniture around these things. I put glass top over them and never have problems charging.
Thanks so much
Do all the wireless chargers feature "Turbo charging", or do you mean charging with a wall outlet by that?
I've read in some reviews, that in combination with the S6, the tylt charger tends to fully charge the phone, then stop charging, then after a while commences charging again, leading to the phone screen lighting up and the "phone is charging" notification sound playing, then turning off again when the battery is fully charged and so on.
Did you experience any of this?
@myh0mie I guess we are in the same state, I'm also receiving my S6 Edge on tuesday and have been having the same questions as you have about charging this thread will come in handy
@quangtran1 If you use the fast charger on your S6 Edge, are you also experiencing the screen rotation issues people are suggesting that are caused by the fast charger? I really wanna know how i should be charging my phone to avoid damage once i receive it. Thanks in advance
I myself do not have the screen rotation issue with fast charging. I do know, however, that Samsung has acknowledged this on "a very small number of S6 devices, and has the solution to resolve it". Samsung did not disclose whether this was a hardware or software issue. @myh0mie Wireless charging does not offer fast charging. Fast charging comes from the 2-amp wall block.

Oh cool then it's good to hear that it seems like it's NOT the fast charger that causing the issue and the fact that Samsung already has a solution to it
I haven't had a screen rotation issue either, on a 64GB Edge (AT&T).
As far as methods of charging, seems like the "Adaptive Fast Charging" is definitely the fastest way to charge the phone. The feature only seems to work with the packaged charger, though. I have a few 5V 2Amp chargers that don't charge my phone as fast as the packaged Samsung charger. It's extremely effective when you're very low on battery life, below 25%.
If you look at the Samsung charger label, it says it outputs at 9V 1.67Amp OR 5V 2Amp. The 5V 2A is standard on many chargers. The 9V 1.67A must be the Adaptive Fast Charging.
For wireless charging, I purchased a few PowerBot Qi chargers (very good price and reviews on Amazon) and supplied them with 5V 2A power to keep myself topped off at work and overnight. To me, they seem to charge the phone at about the same speed as a generic 5V 1A power source.
My last phone was a HTC One M7 and I kept a close eye on the temperature with an app called Cool Tool. I still run the M7 in the same operating environment as my S6 and have noticed that the S6 runs 10-15 degrees (Fahrenheit) cooler than the M7 in both charging and non-charging states. Hope that helps.
I have the S6 edge with the TYLT desk charger and the TYLT car charger dock. Neither of them charge the phone quickly at all. I am not a fan of either really, but I use the desk charger on my desk at work and it is fine to keep the phone topped up throughout the work day (I forget it's even there). The car one, however, is going back. It charges hellishly slow, especially if you run any tasks like music streaming or GPS. Not a fan.
So it was announced not too long ago that fast charging wirelessly will be coming soon. (http://www.theverge.com/2015/6/25/8844719/wireless-quick-charging-qi)
My question is, does anyone know if S6 edge will be supported once wireless fast charge products come out?
I'm guess I will have to buy a wireless pad that can do fast charging
Nop my guess is every phone out there is only prepared for standard wireless charging so this fast one must operate in a different way, is like fast charging by cables not every phone support it, even if they are charged by cable
Hello guys,
I have my flat S7 since few months. Today, my Adaptive Fast Home Charger suddently didn't work. I tried to charge with another charger without any issue.... I really don't care about fast charge as far as it does hurt slowly our battery.
I bought this one :
https://www.amazon.com/Original-Log...3_2?ie=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=Y8RQ09D3JHE3NKF8QRH5
What do you think ?
Do you have any advice for another OEM wall charger for S7 ?
Cheers

In my country, they don't want to send another one. You have to send them your charger AND your phone at the same time to get repair.... :silly:

If I was you I would get a Samsung charger like the one that came with the phone, just to make sure I wouldn't have to start a thread like "Help! My phone exploded!". :silly:

Hahahaha ya I know bro !
But this charge has almost the same specs than original one ! Shouldn't be too dangerous
I'd be wary of any charger that has the word BOOM in the title

I don't see any reason in keeping the Logitech, I mean its way more expensive than the original and you can't fast charge your s7 (says so in the amazon page). Well it's up to you.

Anker wall chargers are very good and do have fast charging..
Since you don't use fast charging then logitech is equally as good

Yep ! So I will stick with this logitech one's !
aukey quick charger v3 is best
https://www.amazon.com/Charger-Charge-Galaxy-Qualcomm-Certified/dp/B018RR30TK
its qualcomm certified charger, and its also work with my 930f exynos (quick charger v2.0 charging speed only)
and charging speed is not too different with original samsung charger charging speed
Charger for iPad Air (5V: 2 A) works flawlessly too
Does it work properly?
Does it super charge?
Is there any problem of using an old wirless charger?
Should i buy a new one or something?
Sorry if this may look kinda stupid questions :\
Older wireless chargers work fine for the s9 and s9+
charge is slow, as quick charge is not supported by the s6 wireless chargers well a fast wireless charger will fast charge , but my s6 wireless charger is the regular non fast charge version and I know it works.
Phone does not get warmer then other charging options and my wireless charger is not getting hot.
I have purchased a rav power quick charger which I enjoy. It's fast.
Hope these responses help

I have the old samsung s6+ wirless i dont know where, thats why i was asking probably going to buy a new one because fast charging with a wireless charger must be better

Hi there,
Currently using the OnePlus 7T-Pro and will be using my carrier's upgrade service to switch to the S21 Ultra by the end of January.
Since the S21 doesn't include a charging brick, I'm wondering if it's safe/compatible to use non Samsung branded power brick with it?
Furthermore, would the 30W charging speed of the 7T-Pro brick be equalled on the S21?
Any feedback is appreciated - thanks in advance

You have to try it. It's safe, yes and it should charge the s21 faster then Samsung's standard 25W charger. Am not sure if OnePlus uses a proprietary USB-C cable, but you'll get the cable from Samsung as well.

Really helpful...thanks mzsquared
One Plus's Warp chargers will charge other phones very slowly as some of the charging circuitry is built into the phone. I mean like REALLY slow. Just plugged a warp charger into my S20 plus at 71% and it says 10 hours 23 minutes until full.

Hi BladeRunner,
Good lookin out, as they say...sounds like I'll have to go the proprietary route after all.
I'll also update this thread in a couple weeks after testing out the OP charger on the Samsung.

Yes, try it out first and w/ different cables too, the USB 3.0/3.1/3.2 supposed to be all back compatible, but there are many pos* manufacturers who cut corners.
*("profits-over-standards")
You can also try just plain using a cord between your PC and the phone. Really, I've seen fairly decent charging performance this way. Technically USB 3.X has support for some pretty heavy power modes so if your PC can do it then the phone might charge pretty fast. Yes, that limits where you can charge potentially but it might be a decent option for at home or work.
These super fast change my S20+ at maximum speed. I assume it will also work for the S21 series

Update:
The OP charger works but at standard speed, with a description of "Cable charging" when in use.
A properly compatible 25W brick & cable from Amazon, nearly identical to the ones linked by hehfahq above, effectively have the "Super fast charging" speeds.
Thanks to all in this thread for contributing your feedback & guidance.
Same results for me, using Oneplus 5 and 5t power bricks. They charge my s21 Ultra slowly.
My OnePlus 30W brick also charges the S21 at a snails pace. In general, I'm finding charging to be really slow on the S21 compared to my previous OnePlus 3. Granted the battery is 1000mAH larger but the charging times are more than double using PC charging via USB.
Anyone have experience with this charger: Link
You have to look after chargers with Power Delivery system with equal PD generation that is used in the OEM charging brick. And yes, cable could be misconductive aswell so it´s highly recommended to use OEM or similar PD cable with it.
