Charger is twitchy with my Samsung Galaxy S6--but only upright. Sideways it is very forgiving where it is placed--is this normal?!

Never had any problems once I put my phone in the right place always charges fine

I tried two of these and both had issues with my Galaxy S6 Edge when the phone was placed vertically. I have a very thin case on my phone which was surely contributing to the issue but since it worked when placed horizontally I am guessing there is a coil alignment issue as well... I am now using a Qi charger that is 1/10 the beauty and unfortunately does not hold my phone tilted but it is half the price and it works right.

I know it is not normal on a Nexus 5. The Galaxy S6 might not line up properly with the charge pads inside the charger. If that is the case, then you found the only solution.

Not sure on the S6.....my S5 with a thick case was great sideways but not so good upright......i changed to a different thinner case and no problem....

It would be best to have right on top of the charger...I do have a pretty thick case on my phone and it still chargers.....but be warneded...the connection of the charger cable and the unit is very temperamental....easily breaks.

I noticed that as well. My old one was heavy. New one light. So, probably a more updated "solid state" charger. Voltage output is a little higher than my old one.

I researched before buying the charger. I believe it will adjust, though Ive never tested it

The charger is about the same length as the S6, and a little wider. The outside quarter in or so taper down slightly. I have my S6 in the Ringke Fusion case, the corners are raised slightly to keep the back/face of the phone off the surface when you lay it down. With this case my phone fits perfectly on the charger, it doesn't have to be perfectly aligned to start charging.

Failure to plug in the balancing connector (square, on the side) will cause these exact symptoms. Make sure you have both the two round (red and black banana jack) cables, as well as the square multi-conductoor cable plugged in and hooked up. I got in a hurry recently and forgot to plug in both, then kept wondering why it never got past the "almost charged" state. Finally walked over and looked at it - duh! Seems unlikely that both of your chargers are bad.

I didn't notice this issue yet so far. My iPhone 5s heats up a little bit sometimes even when I use the original charger wire which comes with the iPhone purchase. You may want to test with the original wire as well to see it that happens again.

Shana, From what I have read (may be wrong), regular chargers pull energy even when not charging a device and they say they pull a lot of energy. This one does not pull power when your device is not plugged in. Your smart phone should control when it needs charging and stop when at 100%. I really like this charger; you don't have to worry about someone misplacing it. Also, easy to install. The top port is a fast charge and has a green light when charging. The bottom does not. I also ordered these and love them: Magic-T Bundle of 10 Durable Braided Nylon 3 Foot Micro USB Sync Cable Charging Cord for Samsung Galaxy S4,S3,S2,HTC One X, One 2(M8),Nokia N9 Lumia 9 Great deal. Hope I helped.

The connector pivots back and forth to allow the phone to be attached. The only problem I had with the charger was that I had to trim away some of the bottom of my Belkin iphone outer case to allow the connector to go far enough up into the phone to work properly. Minor problem, I am very happy with the charger (bought 3 more for family).

That is not normal, never happened on mine. Try and exchange it for another one asap.

I have not experienced this. I purchased my charger in April 2014, I have been using it everyday sometimes for long hours, and it has been, and is working perfectly.

I have found that when in the phone and after snapping back on the thickness is not notable or a problem with my cases. Not same as yours. Its only in the battery charger that charges just the battery in its own slot that it is tight. Battery is no diff than original otherwise, charging, time etc

Good observation. It definitely still works, it just probably won't be as fast as you're used to with a normal phone charger

That would be a function of the phone not the charger itself. I would have to say on my phone (Galaxy S4 Active), while it may not be charging, it gets very hot if left on the Qi charging pad overnight. I have gotten in the habit of charging during the day and removing the phone when it gets to 100%

Same here it charges really fast but it hasn't defective my battery at all. Both my covers have open ports but they are to thick and the ports to the charger dont line up.

Dear Aya, That's normal. The new charger blinks instead of having the steady red. After the full charge you will see a steady green light. Please contact our customer service if you have more questions. all the best, Team Tendlite
