If you are having trouble getting Wireless PowerShare to work, here are some tips that might help:

• Do not use wired earphones while PowerSharing as it might affect nearby devices.
• Do not move the devices while charging.
• The efficiency of wireless charging depends on the distance between the charging coils embedded in the devices. You may need to adjust the position of the devices until they connect with each other properly.
• The change in battery percentages on each device will not necessarily correspond to one another.
• If you are charging the device that is PowerSharing, the charging speed may decrease or it may not charge properly depending on the charger type.
• When remaining battery power drops below a certain level for the PowerSharing device, PowerSharing will stop.
• Depending on the type of accessories or cover being used on your device, the Wireless PowerShare feature may not work properly. It is recommended to remove any accessories and protective phone covers before using this feature.
