I was under impression that the charging cradle is supposed to charge the watch as soon as it's plugged in. What's happening now is when the cradle is on the watch, nothing happens; but as soon as I plug the cable in, it starts charging.
Am I doing something wrong?
These are both the watch and cradle pins.
Wait a minute..... Is this the original cradle? I bought this watch used - did I get duped?
Can someone with Gear S take a picture of their cradle back, please?

CQFD ! it is only a cheap charger from chinese seller I have also one like this if my original broke.
Original cradle has also a tiny button (bottom of the dock) to see the charge when we push it, it light on the led.
I also have installed cyanogenmod 12.1 and found the issue that charging cradle is not charging gear s unless connected with charger. Also found that charging time has increased so much than earlier. Please help if you have found out some solution.

So, just got my wireless charger in, I set it on the charger, the white light indicator comes on, no charging indicator on the phone. I have tap+send enabled, any other suggestions?

When you drop it on the charger it should make the happy "I found power" sound (if volume is on) and light up ONCE. That's it. The charger light will go out eventually when the 920 is full.
This is by design. Don't worry about it. It's working.

No happy charging sound, it actually seems to drain my battery, the phone doesn't seem to register the charger but the charger recognizes the phone. Also the battery indicator shows nothing.

That's not good. Either the charger or the phone's broken. There isn't any user settings on the phone to enable/disable wireless charging. Do you have access to another Qi charger to try?
I assume USB charging works. The phone should behave exactly the same as when you plug it into AC via USB.

it does, I don't, however have access to another charging device. The NFC works on the phone and the charger registers it but they don't sync up.

NFC isn't used for wireless charging at all. I think its time to get that thing exchanged.
It sounds like you have the Nokia DT-910 Wireless Charger. If so, i had a similar Problem at first. NFC inside the DT-910 was recognised, but it wouldn't charge. Fortunately, i do have two other wireless chargers here (Nokia DT-901 Fatboy Pillow and Phillips DLP7250P), both of them working with my 920.
So i checked the Power Connector on the DT-910 and found it wasn't fully plugged in. I pushed a Little more 'til i heard a click from the connector, and my 920 gave a happy pling and started loading.
Obviously, NFC doesn't need power to work.

I'm having the same problem with my 920 and the LG WCP700 charger; the charger beeps and indicates that wireless charging is in progress, but the phone registers nothing.
I was thinking I would try a hard reset before contacting Nokia support, but that's a pain and I'm not convinced it'll make any difference at all.

The WCP700 is not listed as being a QI charger.
You can't just use any old wireless charging mat, it has to be marked as being a QI charger.
Doh, just found that it is QI. But even when they say it conforms to a standard, sometimes they don't or there are side-effects. My Maxell QI charger gets warm and heats up the phone when the Nokia one's dont.

Yeah, that was my thought at first . . . but others have posted that they have had success using the WCP700 with the 920. I'm guessing that the problem now is with the phone; either there's something installed on it that's causing a problem, or the inductive charging hardware is defective.
I've been looking for a charger that attaches to the side dock on the Z2. I bought one on EBay very cheap but the charging from seems to connect then disconnect all the time. I guess that's what I get for buying a cheap unit. Is there a good one that will charge the Z2 properly? I'm sure the flap to the micro usb is going to come off sooner or later so I'd rather use the magnetic one.
I too am looking for this. What eBay one did you buy? Don't want to accidentally buy a cheap one..

I bought a dirt cheap one from ebay too, works fine although the magnets aren't very strong so the amount of time I spend fiddling to get it to latch on I may as well use a micro usb!

Best I've come across, a bit more expensive though.
It fits very snugly over the charging port, so if you use case this cable might not go well with it.

I've heard that, I got a free app called timely and it works great, with smart connect it automatically goes into silent + opens timely when I dock.
Word of warning with magnetic chargers, don't be stupid like me and turn the charger the other way around to see if it connects better, you will end up shorting something inside your phone and you will have to RMA your device

I have a magnetic charging cable and did this drunkly one night, woke up to find the phone turned off and SUPER HOT. Like almost burning point, freaking out I quickly removed the cable and tried turning it on but it wouldn't power up.
After 2 minutes of having a mild heart-attack I used my USB charging cable and connected it once it cooled down and within a minute it powered back up and started charging. After a few minutes of doing this I booted up the phone and the battery was on 1%
Won't be doing that again haha :silly:

Mine does that when putting it the correct way without every putting it the wrong way. It also does the start/stop charging like the OP, hopefully he doesn't have the same problem as me.

upon close inspection, the charging pins on the magnetic charging port are different in size to prevent plugging it backwards.
for those of you who were able to plug it in backwards, is the magnetic charger a sony accessory? or aftermarket?
I bought the magnector x and holy moly does it charge fast...and the connection is solid and it snaps in place with ease...magnet very strong...only problem is it doesn't work with my roxfit gel shell case even though it has the cutout for the magnetic port...so either I stick with using my cheap Chinese made magnetic charger that doesn't always make a solid connection and charges rather slow but works with my case or buy the case-mate barely there case which is the only other case I can see that would work with the magnector x...

Hi, guys!
I bought a Stratos but the original charger does not work.
- When i plug the original charger in a USB port on my PC and the watch is ON the screen do not show any signs of charging.
- When i plug the original charger in a USB port on my PC with the watch OFF and wait some seconds and i'd press the on/off button the screen show me that the watch is charging BUT the ammount of battery goes down!
- When i plug the original charger on a cellphone charger doesnt matter if the watch is on or off the screen do not show any information about charging.
Please i really need some help, the watch battery is at 10% and i'd turn it off.
Thank you guys for the help!!
If the original charger is faulty, you should order 1 or even 2 of this: https://www.gearbest.com/smartwatch-accessories/pp_009720167579.html?wid=1433363
It has removable USB cable, so you can use your own.
Thanks for the reply! I've tried the procedure with an usb cable direct contact but the watch do not charge too...

You're welcome. I've ordered 3 of them, because for $5/pce it's inexpensive - I'll let you know if it's a good replacement of the original charging cradle or not. I'm sure the cradle has a controller circuit inside, so you can't just touch the wires to the pins.

I already have one of those, it works fine but is much lighter than the original dock, feels cheaper and maybe more brittle? Time will tell, it's my backup dock anyway

Good to hear they at least work.
Yeah, the original is quality stuff, but I hate the fixed USB cable, which seems to be very thin and fragile and which is a step backwards from the Pace's replaceable solution.
I've ordered 3, because it was around $5 ordered from within the GearBest app, and I had a lot of GB points lying around.

Exactly why I bought one - The original dock sits on my desk and is used 90% of the time for charging and development, the Gearbest one sits on my bedside for the very rare time I charge my watch overnight - where I have a MicroUSB charger already for bluetooth headphones so it just plugs in
Agreed on the step backwards, the Pace dock was much better all around in my opinion, the Stratos one always feels like it's going to break when I remove the watch

There are indeed several non-Huawei wireless chargers that claim 15W max output, but I haven't seen any that verify this claim with specifications other than in their seller's verbiage (no images of package). Time will tell if they actually can do this for the Mate 20 Pro. Hopefully someone will take one for the Team and try it out then post a screenshot of the charge.

Anyone got any recommendations for a wireless charger. Don't really want to fork out £60.00 for the official. Been looking on ebay/amazon and see some are about £15-£20 and getting some decent reviews. It is just to sit on bed side table for charging though the night.

I remember using 2 cheap ones for my s8+ and they never worked as well as the original Samsung. Always got VERY hot, disconnected all the time when not placed exactly in the middle...they also made weird sounds too so no good for a night stand.
I recommend buying official gear... It's the wrong place to save money

I got the CP60 bundled with my phone purchase, it came with an extra set of the 40W charger that comes with the phone. I have been using the typical 9W fast wireless charger and CP60 is definitely faster than those. My phone doesn't get hotter than 35 deg C while wireless charging as well.
I got the Anker 10W Qi charger, work great with the little "fast-charging" icon appearing on the phone :good:

definately DOESN'T charge the Mate 20 Pro at 15W. No "wireless fast charging" indication, charging time is much longer than with Huawei's own wireless charger. Too bad, because the flexibility to be able to use it as a stand is great, but I ended up getting the original one. Just another world.

Hey
So I know this kinda has been asked before but not exactly like what Im experiencing!
My original turbo charger broke after 3 years and I got another one off ebay and i think it was fake or something and when i left it charging overnight, the next morning i found out that it screwed up my usb charging port and now its not working/detecting any cable/charger anymore. So I figured i'd use a wireless charger so I got this model - https://www.ugreen.com/product/1327-en.html - and when i place it on top of it, blue light is turned on and battery lightning bolt icon on nexus 6 appears but it doesnt charge and im keep losing battery as if i was using it normally! any ideas? -- Nexus 6 7.1 rom, rooted and franco kernel.
Thanks
If you know someone else with a Nexus 6 you could test if the charger is compatible with Nexus 6.
But actually I think your el cheapo charger fried your charging electronic.

Yeah the charging system is gone; And from what I could search on the net, looks like it's not easily repairable.
Is it possible that somehow the wireless coil cable is miss-aligned or something? I opened it up couple of times before to replace the battery and lcd. And this is the second wireless charger I tested with and both behave the same! Says charging but actually not charging.
anybody knows if its possible to enable wireless charging on nexus 6 refub? im suspecting mine is refub and based on what i found here, its disabled by motorola!

I think you need to reallign the cable with the 4 contact landing zones. The position of the coil is not that important.
But wireless and USB charging are both power sources for the same charger chip. If this chip is fried you probably can't charge at all.

hm... you're mentioning a very good point. i opened it several times and aligned the cable, even added some tape to hold it in place. i guess its the chip since the wireless charger's blue led turns on to indicate device detected and charging but Android menu says not charging.
