If you are having some trouble getting Wireless PowerShare to work, we have some helpful tips that you can follow:
Position the devices as shown on the device that is sharing power. When the device is placed incorrectly on the charging surface, it may not charge properly. Make sure your device is placed in the center of the charging pad with no obstructions. The device's back should come in contact with the charger.
- Do not use wired earphones while sharing power. Doing so may affect nearby devices. When a headset is connected to your phone, place the phone in a landscape position on the wireless charger. If you place the phone in a portrait position, it may not charge.
- If devices aren’t connecting properly or if their charging speed is low, please remove any accessory or cover that could be causing the issue.
- Do not move or use either device while charging.
- The charging device's battery percentage will not necessarily correspond to the battery percentage on the charged device.
- If you charge the device that is sharing power, the charging speed may decrease, or the device may not charge properly depending on the charger type.
- The charging speed or efficiency may vary depending on the device’s condition or the surrounding environment.
- If you use the wireless charger in areas with weak network signals, you may lose network reception.
- If the remaining battery power on your device drops below a certain level, power sharing will stop.
- If a different charger or USB cable is connected to your phone, the wireless charging feature may be unavailable.
- Make sure the wireless charger is plugged into a working power outlet or power source.
Note:
- The location of the charging coil may vary by device model. You may need to adjust the devices until they connect with each other properly.
