Way 1: Use A Compatible Charger Cable

There are lots of companies that manufacture different types of charging cables that might be corrupted or cheap. In most cases, they are not compatible with your wireless charger which can cause the wireless charger to stop working. So, you must always try to charge your smartphone via an official charger set or other sets that come with Qi-Certification.

Way 2: Use Another Adapter

If the charging adapter is corrupted or damaged then it can result in Samsung wireless charging not working issue. It happens when you use the same charging adapter for a long time. It is suggested to use the Spare Cable if you have one. If your wireless charger works with another cable then make sure that the problem is not with the cable.

Way 3: Keep The Phone Properly On The Charging Pad

You should keep your Galaxy phone properly in right place. We suggest it because all the wireless chargers come up with pre-installed coil and you need to pair that coil with the phone properly. If it is not paired perfectly then your phone will stop charging wirelessly because when the coil is not paired with the device then the wireless charger completely disconnects from your phone.

Hence, to solve the charging problem, keep the phone properly at the center of the wireless charger and then check the charging problem with your Samsung phone is solved or not.

Way 5: Remove The Phone Case/Cover

Your Samsung wireless charger may also stop working if you are using a thicker phone case. Most of the wireless chargers are only compatible with a 3mm thickness cover.

Hence, we advise you to remove the phone cover or any other device accessories such as metal objects, magnets or RFID cards, holders or credit card that comes between your device and the wireless charger and then try to charge it with wireless charger. If it is charging then change the phone cover or remove the device accessories.
