Samsung S4 Active users: When on the QI charger it does not constantly charge. It charges, stops, charges, stops. Any suggestions?

I have had that a couple of times and my solution was to remove the back plate and make sure the charging contacts are fullyy engaged. In my specific case I have the charging pad mounted to the underside of my back plate not to the battery. Ive also bent the snout of the charging pad (where the contacts are located) away from the underside of the back plate so when mounting the back plate the contacts can line up better. This is not necessary if youve taped the charging plate to the battery. If youve taped the charging plate to the battery and your confident the charging contacts are fully engaged then I would look to the

First of all, make sure you have it centered on the charger properly. It is designed to fully charge and shut off. Then when the battery starts to drop, it turns on again. The annoying part of this process is the beep when it shuts off/turns on and also the screen lights up. Apparently you can turn off the beep, but it is difficult since you have to root the phone and go through a lengthy process. I charge my phone at night right next to my bed, so I mute the phone before I go to bed and I cover the screen. Also, don't be surprised or alarmed by the heat that is generated by the charging process as that is a property of induction. First of all, make sure you have it centered on the charger properly.

I did notice the same thing but I had quit using this product because it wouldn't allow me to nfc.

I have the Samsung Galaxy S4 with the Samsung wireless charging case (QI compatible) and it works great! It charges at 620 milliamps, which is a little faster than over usb charging on a computer and slower than plugging in the cable to the wall directly. I bought 2 - one for overnight charging and one for charging at work in the afternoon. There is only a dim blue light when you start charging, no beeps or noise.

I purchassed a Lerway wireless qi power charger and the qi receiver card in February. I never was able to establish a charging link. The pad would illuminate like it was charging, but my Galaxy S4 never indicated connection and charge. No matter how I positioned the card or the phone on the pad, it would not work. I returned both pieces and then ordered a Powerbot pad and similar qi receiver card. No problem. Immediate connection and charging is as easy as placing the phone down on a table.

I have a Galaxy S4. Plugged in every USB cord I have in order to charge it but none showed any charging at all. I even went so far as to use the original USB cable that came with the AC adapter / charger. It still would not charge it. Not even a slow charge. Plugged in my wifes Galaxy S3 ... works perfectly.

I have the galaxy s3 and never had any problems charging. I have also plugged in many other devices without problems. I hope this helps.

I have an S4 (Verizon, but that shouldn't make a difference) and it works great. Though a little more flimsy than the more expensive ones, I found it charges just as well if not better than more pricey models. I got the receiver here Expower(R) Qi Wireless Charging Receiver Card Coil for Samsung Galaxy Note 4 IVA word of advice, don't get the Anker charger. They sent me 2 and neither worked with the S4

I think it has to do with the mAh output. It does the same to me. If I plug it in at night it will be at 100% by the morning. But if its going dead and I'm on it, instead of charging when I plug it up like it would with the original samsung cord, it will die! So like I said it has a lot to do it the output of the charge. Hope I could help.

I called the Samsung company, and he told me to keep it plugged in the wall, and eventually it was a steady light and it started to charge. I let it charge for a while and it was totally charged. So try this before you go out and buy a new battery.

It does for me. I have a Qi charger and it works amazing. Got that charger on here too.

I do not know about your particular phone's charging issues, but with my Samsung Galaxy s3 I learned that the problem (and apparently a common one with Samsung phones) is that the USB recharging port has poor quality soldering. I've ultimately found that a better solution than USB charging or even using the Lerway wireless Qi "drop-pad charger" is to use multiple batteries with wall charging units. I believe I've written a review for such a product - it was around $20 for the charging unit and 2 spare batteries. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE how fast and efficient wall chargers/spare batteries are. I know have 7 spare batteries so I can keep several at home, a few in my office, a few in the car, etc. I can pop out a discharged battery and replace it with a fully charged on in about 15 seconds. Forget USB and drop-pad chargers.

I'm not sure about the galaxy issue, I'm using an htc m9 and it's working fine. Regarding the light blinking, if the charger is conected to your phone and it's blinking it means that the charger's battery is drained, however if it's blinking while connected to a charger it means its charging. While charging a drained portable charger, the first led is going to blink until 25% of the battery is charged after that the led will remain on and the second led will blink, when it's 100% charged the 4 leds will remain let without blinking.

Hi, I just tried charging two Galaxy S4 phones with this device. They are displaying a charging status. What I don't know for sure is what charge current they're drawing. If there's a way to get the phone to tell me that, let me know and I'll check (yeah I could cut the cable and put an ammeter on it, but I'm not quite that curious...).

Cathy, I'm sorry it didn't charge your S4. I did work fine on my S4, for a while. Then, the plastic opening that holds the cord wore out and it wouldn't hold the cord in the housing where you plug it in to the phone. All in all, it only lasted me about 6 months, but it did function well when the cord fit well. I hope this helps.

I will add, when you are not charging your phone or when your phone is fully charged, make sure you remove cord from the charging device altogether... The device doesn't have a shut off capability. If there is a cord plugged into device, it starts using its power if it the cord isn't hooked into anything else. If your device is hooked to your phone it doesn't stop charging at 100%. The only way to shut off device is to detach everything from it

the case really hampers Qi charging. I have a pad that has a generous charging area that works perfectly with the case off, but with the case on I have to move it around until it 'finds' a spot to charge at full charging speed. Make no mistake, the charging is never 100% prevented, but unless I find that spot the phone shows a message telling me that the charging isn't happening as fast as it should.

This was a gift for my Mother, and she hasn't mentioned any problems with the charger. She mainly plays a lot of games that she downloads. I think she usually needs to charge it at the end of each day if she's used it a lot. Hope this helps.

I've never had any issues with mine. If I'm not mistaken it stops charging once it's fully charged!
