Just a heads up - the fast wireless charger does not work with the S6

Only the Edge + and Note 5 are supported.

Your S6 will charge on it but at the normal wireless charging speed

Anybody here got the fast wireless charger for their Galaxy S6?

Got mine yesterday and it seems to be a dud. One needs to fiddle with it a lot for it to start charging & then it stops after a few seconds. :(

The regular wireless charger works like a charm.

I got one from them and its working great, much better than the first one i got bundled with my s6

The rewards app said it was compatible.

Their web page however doesn't mention the regular S6.

If it isn't compatible, they must collect the device & refund my 120,000 points.

The thing is, I plugged it into a USB port at work and it worked as a the regular charger.

When I plugged it in to the fast charger at home it wouldn't even work as a regular wireless charger.

Normal S6, not the edge. It is compatible but not as fast as what it would be with s6 edge or note 5

Does it at least show on the screen that it is fast charging?

Will do some testing once my unit is swapped.

Mine works well, even through a case. Had once or twice that the phone was off centre, then it stopped at 95%. Have you tried it without a case as an test. Also I assume you have a fast charger connected to it?

What they mean is that yes it is compatible to charge the S6 wirelessly but not *Fast*

Tried it with & without the case, same result.

Yes, connected to my fast charger.

I have a Note 5, S6+ and an S6 in my house. Fast wireless charging only works on Note 5, S6+. Any other phone will be normal speed.

Oh well, at least I will have another wireless charger. I blame the rewards app for this.

You'll unfortunately only get that message on the Note 5 and S6+. But it is a better charger all round even for lower devices, battery gets charged at 5°C lower as the unit has a built in fan. Only consolation I can give you.
 
I sent a email about it, but no reply yet. The soundbar has 2 year warranty. Just incase something goes wrong

Will do some testing with wired vs wireless and see if there is any time difference. As long as the replacement unit works, I will be ok.
