It is not the charger, the TA or the Phone. Get a good quality micro USB cable and the wireless charging will work again. The crap samsung provides, can not handle the amps for wireless fast charging. Anker or aukey are good.

This person ... moreWhat I meant by different chipset = exynos/Snapdragon 835 S8 variant that could be causing issues with wireless charger. Idk.. my S8+ with Exynos chip works fine with Samsung's new wireless charger though.

Furthermore, how come it works fine with 3rd party chargers but not Samsung's own? QI is meant to be a universal standard so while the rate may vary it should not refuse to work at all. That is a fault pure and simple. Granted possibly deliberately to get users buying new chargers from Samsung they should not really need. It is ridiculous that S8 customers should have to purchase a new wireless charger when the one they possibly already have is the same standard and quite likely less than a year old.

                              Been using my S8+ with Samsung's wireless charger since the first day. No issues, charges fast. I wonder if it has something to do with the two different chipset?

                                Oh Samsung..!

                                  Samsung became synonymous to unreliability that's what we have seen so far

                                    Its maybe because of 4gb ram. clear the ram or better buy 6gb modal

                                        It boils down that LG G6 is the most reliable phone due to rigid multiple testing as it is talked about before its announcement.
