[Q] Fast charge? - Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Anyone else having issues with charging? I have my phone plugged directly into the wall and I seem to be getting about 10% charge every 30-40 minutes. Thought this was supposed to full charge in about an hour. Just plugged it in at 68% and it's saying 2 hours till full charge. Is there a setting I'm missing?

Do you have fast charge enabled under the battery settings?

I am having this issue too, so far I believe is the actual charger giving me the problem. I am getting a new charger today so hopefully this fixes that problem, also I checked settings and my phone doesn't have the fast charging tick mark like the note4 does.

Did replacing the charger work for you? It seems like the fast charger that came with the phone only charges at 1A. It shows up as charging (USB). Does yours at least show charging AC?

Replacing the charger worked for me. The bad thing is that when I called t-mobile they wanted to reset my phone and I wasn't in the mood for all that. I did get another adaptive fast charger from Samsung tech and now I get fast charging always. The issue you're having is the same as mine, if you have a Samsung repair Center near you I would probably recommend visiting them, carriers tech support have all this troubleshooting rules they have to do before replacing anything....

Hmm I'll have to give it a try. I just plugged the Samsung quick charger into my wireless charger pad using the same samsung provided cable and its charging wirelessly 2x as fast as with using the fast charger directly. I'm thinking it may actually be a bad phone.

Well I didn't get the cable replaced I only got the base replaced, but cool let me know what your outcome is. So far for me looks like that fixed it.

Mine looks fine I think I didn't try full yet bit from 36% to 96% took like 40 min. I'm using the Samsung wireless pad and the original charger that came with the phone...

By the way there is no settings to enable fast charge for me I searched settings nothing there

I'm using the Motorola quick charger I had for my Moto X and all seems to work fine. Does not heat up like the Moto X or M9 did during quick charge.
I know most know this but be aware...the charger that comes with the phone is NOT a quick charger. You have to purchase it separately.

The charger that comes with it is a quick charger if it doesn't charge fast then the base it self must be defective.

i see that now...thought it was not included. Good for Sammy.

Hi
Im looking for a Dual USB Fast Charger
if anyone knows any please give link
Thanks

If you want to buy a new one I would recommend samsung website, plus if you register you device you might get an email with discount code to purchase any accessory under 50 dollars

my 920w8 doesn't have any setting for fast charging in the battery settings ,
settings/battery , wonder if the settings is missing on the rogers variant ?

screen off before plug in
What I found is a combination of plugging in when screen off, and the right cable.
I can get fast charge every time if I get both right, just make sure the screen is off and try out the USB cable until you find one that consistently do fast charge

used to be a problem
My wifi had problems with this aswell.
When she got the phone it had 0% on it it took 4-5hours, between the next charging phase, she updated the phone and I don't know what fixed it, but now she doesn't have any problems, mine came with 54% and charged quickly.

If the cable and the plug support fast charging it will right on the screen it's not about anything else.. wireless charging doesn't do fast charging. ... it's written on the notification drop down guys simple as that

Can someone take screenshot showing the Fast Charging note? I don't see this on my phone when charging and I use the included charger and cable

Have this same wakelock. I noticed it so I tried rebooting the phone
When I rebooted I went from 69% battery to 15% when the screen came back on. During none of this time was the phone near or on the charger. However I did notice that when the phone cane back on after rebooting when it said 15% battery it also said it was charging and slowly battery began creeping back. Again all this was while I was at school no where near a charger.
This wake lock though has killed my battery and I have no clue what's going on.

VBUS present wakelock caused by using Apple compatible charger
It does not look like this was ever resolved, so figured I would chime in since I have been looking at this for a while.
If you use a charger which is compatible with Apple products, it will cause the vbus_present wakelock since Apple does not adhere to USB standards and requires two of the pins to be bridged or open (can't remember which) to work for their products. However, when you charge a device that does adhere to USB standards with one of these chargers, it will cause the wakelock (on all the samsung phones I have seen, anyway).
Another downside to using an apple compatible charger is that you can never get more than 500ma out of it due to the non-standard USB connection, even if the charger is capable of 2000ma output. So you get slower charging.
When you are connected to any charger, this wakelock will be present. If you use an Apple compatible charger, it will persist after you unplug it and will drain your battery around 10% per hour since it prevents it from going into deep sleep. You can clear the wakelock by rebooting the phone or plugging it into a standard USB charger, such as a PC or Samsung charger, even for a few seconds.
You can use Better Battery Stats to see the effects of this wakelock. Note that it can take a few minutes to show up once you have unplugged from the apple charger.
Yes, this really p*sses me off. This is one of the reasons I no longer have any Apple products in my house and long since thrown away all the Apple compatible wall chargers I once had. It still comes back to bite me since I still have a couple of chargers that contain batteries to charge when you are away from a wall outlet and they both cause this. When I use them I just have to make sure I reboot afterward. The USB outlet I have installed behind the stereo in my car also causes this wakelock. I have one to replace it but have not gotten around to removing the stereo to do this yet.
The next best solution to never using an apple compatible charger at this point would be to have a kernel that addresses this and removes the wakelock after it is unplugged but I don't see this happening.

I guess you meant that with a device that adhere to USB standards, there are NO wakelock ?
I happen to have the same issue here :/ I've read somewhere that the wakelock could be provoke depending on whether the screen was unlocked when charger is unplugged. I am trying to find the source :/

There are wakelocks even with those that adhere to USB standards. What I've understood is that those wakelocks are only while the device is charging, preventing from deepsleep. Once the charger is removed, the wakelock goes away. What I understand from the post above, Apple chargers cause the wakelocks to remain even after removing the charger.
Thats what I understood, and I may be wrong. Feel free to correct me.

Battery going from 80% charged to 100% in just 5-10 minutes

My EVO 3D will jump from random percentages up to 100% charged. During one charge it'll go from 81% to 100% within just 5 minutes with the light turning green. The next time it'll go from 93% to 100% skipping the numbers in between. I'm pretty sure it started after I rooted my phone but before I put a custom ROM on it. I ran it for a month or 2 rooted stock and it has continued doing this with a custom ROM. I don't understand why its doing this.
This actually has me wondering if my battery is even charging fully or if its just reporting that it jumped up to 100% when its only within a few percentage points of the previous reading. I'm using Battery Monitor Widget so I have a log of this happening. The only time it didn't happen was the one time that I unplugged my phone repeatedly once it got up to 80%. I unplugged every few minutes until it hit 100%. Then it reported that it increased a few percent every 5 minutes until it hit 99% at which point it always takes a long time to reach 100%.
Does this happen to anyone else? Anyone have any idea whether it really is charging fully or what is going on?
Sent from my EVO 3D running viperROM via Tapatalk
This sometimes happens to me too and the 99% stall has been like since I got the phone on launch day. Usually a reboot while unplugged sets it to the correct %.
Same problem. I can't wait to get rid of this phone for the GS3

Fixed that for ya.
The EVO3d has horrible battery state reporting... Plain and simple. As long as you're around 4350mv you should be fully charged.
Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium
Every once in a while mine will do this, when I shut it off and pull the battery then reboot it seems to stop it for a few weeks.
Have you tried calibrating the battery? Battery Calibration app
Try this
I had a similar issue.
Try this:
Drain the battery all the way down.
Once drained, make sure the device is powered off (should be already due to depleated battery) and plug it in USB to your computer. Don't use the wall charger.
Let it charge for a couple hours (Don't be fooled by the LED). Poer the device back on. It should read 100%.
Use as normal. Not sure why this helped, but it might be a concept similar to trickle charging a car battery.

!!!!!!!!!!!!
You should really be at a max of about 4185. Have you tested the battery with a multimeter to see if it is at 4350, because if it is... that is rather dangerous.
As for the post directly above mine, trickle charging is bad for the battery if it's left continually on, it should be at max capicity for too long otherwise you will damage the battery.

I'm going to have to disagree... The og evo has a stock 1500mAh battery and everyone who had one knows that 4200 mv was fully charged. Now the 3D comes with a stock 1730mAh which is full around 4350 mv

Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium
I have also noticed this similar issue. When i charge my battery to 80% then it after short time dropped to 60%. i have seen this behavour just once or twice.
personally I am very happy with the battery performanece as I can get easilly over 48 hours even more.
Can depend on the type of battery.. Some can be shot or old... Also some roms have scripts in it that help cal the battery... Which can do some funky stat readings....
I haven't had this issue since I been running a stock build..... Have you let it die dead and let it get a full charge over night?
When I first flashed viperROM 2.1.1 I followed some instructions I found in a forum, I think, for calibrating the battery. If I remember correctly, what I did was charge the battery to 100%, clear the battery stats (which I've since read is just a placebo), drained the battery till the phone died, charged to 100% again, let the battery drain till it died a 2nd time and the charged it to 100% again. Then I used it normally. This procedure didn't seem to do anything, positive or negative.
And after reading the posts by @gunfromsako I looked at Battery Monitor Widget, which I've been using for quite some time, and my phone gets up to 4361mV. Not only that but after looking those numbers over I notice that it can climb to 4359 or 4361 before it ever reaches 100% charged. Then when it finally gets to 100% it can already be back down to 4258. Look at my screenshot. It went from 4359 at 99% charged to 4258 at 100% charged! AndI've actually seen it at 4359 when it's just 78% charged. What is the deal with this phone?!?

Have you tried any other non tweaked roms to see if it fixes it? Also try another battery..
I just looked back at the log that Battery Monitor Widget keeps and this was definitely happening BEFORE I rooted. I thought it started after but I think the logs are more accurate than my memory.
@reaper24 I've only ever tried the ROM I'm on right now which is viperROM 2.1.1. I really want to try MeanROM. I'm not sure what would be a "non-tweaked" ROM though I'm sure MeanROM is not included since that ROM seems to be tweaked to the max. LOL
Also I unfortunately don't have another battery to test.

BMW is a good reference but I don't trust it totally. Like others have suggested a battery calibration will help. Usually for me after 3-4 cycles it starts to level out. It will start reporting weird if im doing a bunch of flashing too. None of this really bothers me, I know my battery all too well and can tell when it is lying... Lol

Just show it some TLC
@OP
I would give it a while if it still dicks up... Go to another rom.... Last thing is a battery... If that isn't any good ... Another charger If all else is dicked take to sprint
Given that I've seen BMW Pro show +25000mv, and other interesting readings I certainly don't trust it, and that's on a O2X, not a Evo 3D.
Anything over 4.2v is bad for Li-ion, also letting the battery totally die is bad for it, and will shorten it's life span. So.. either your phones are reading the voltage of the battery incorrectly or your phone is dangerously charging the battery. If the tech used in the battery was 3.8v rather than 3.7v li-ion then it wouldn't be a problem, but 3.7v li-ion max is 4.2, and 3.8v li-ion max is I believe 4.3v (They are incompatible battery types with chargers btw).
For reference, mine show's up as fully charged @ 4.212v which is higher than I would actually like it to be.
I can't help on the 'jumping' issue.. I would take a look at the voltage to see what's going on with the battery. If the battery (look at voltage graph) is draining gradually/smoothly with no sudden drop, then something is messed up with the stats most likely.
My phone's battery reporting is unbelievably horrible! Ok so after reading some of the posts here, I tried rebooting the phone to get an accurate reading of how much of a charge I had left. The first couple of times I did this, days apart, the number went down a lot! I've done it 3 times in the last day and now the number goes UP!
Just now, it had 2% left and I just plugged in and rebooted. It went all the way up to 22%. So I unplugged the phone and the percentage starting dropping at an insanely impossible rate. It dropped 2% per minute on average and as fast as 2% in 30 seconds with a couple of drops while on the homescreen & Tapatalk. So I let it continue to drop and it got down to 7% and died. I'm assuming that means that 2% was the correct reading before I rebooted the phone. I did get about 7 1/2 hours off that charge with the screen on the whole time. Not sure how good that is but it seems decent to me.
How am I supposed to have any clue at all how much of a charge this thing has because obviously even rebooting the phone doesn't give me an accurate reading!!* I just don't know what to do with it anymore. I have no idea how much battery power is left at any point in time. I've tried a few different apps that show the voltage and they all show the same number. The same goes for the battery percentage, so its the phone itself thats reporting wrong, not an app. I even cleared the battery stats, despite reading that it doesn't work. I figured it was worth a try. I did that once in recovery and I tried the Battery Calibration app that was recommended here as well. Would a new battery make any difference at all since it seems like its the phone thats reporting the percentage wrong? I mean the battery lasts for a decent amount if time, tho not as long as I would like but thats typical with these phones.
@Scougar you said that if it was 3.8v then the voltage would be OK. Well I took my battery out and looked at it and on the back it says "Rating 3.8vdc." Is that the number you're talking about? Btw thats the stock battery. And it actually goes as high as 4364 mV sometimes. Even if its rated for 4300 its still going quite an bit higher than it should but I guess there's nothing that can be done about that?
Sorry for the length of this post. LOL

Anker 2500mAh or Anker "2700"mAh

Hey everyone,
Upon using the Anker 2500mah battery for the last 2 months, I must say I absolutely love them!
I have this:
http://www.amazon.com/Anker-2500mAh-Battery-SGH-I717-GT-N7000/dp/B006BHQWX0/ref=sr_1_2?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1338299763&sr=1-2
My question now is, are the "Anker® Upgrade 2 x 2700mAh" actually 2700mAh?
Here is the link:
http://www.amazon.com/Anker-Batteries-SGH-I717-International-Multi-purpose/dp/B007JSSNHI/ref=sr_1_1?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1338299763&sr=1-1
If in fact they are, has anyone actually notice the ~200 mAh difference?
Thanks!
I'd defiantly be interested in seeing if they are true 2700mAh batteries.
do you feel like the 2500s you have last longer than the stock battery?

That's what I said haha
When they sell the single anker 2700 I'll be sure to purchase them.
I don't need 6 batteries HAHA
Anyway, the Ankers I feel are actually 2500 mAh. The build quality is good and the weight is on par with the OEM.
As for the life, it is not too noticeable on the difference but I have seen that the Ankers do last a little longer. The selling point for me is that the Ankers perform just as well, if not better than the OEMs at almost at a third of the price!
And as for the 2700 mAh battery, I have confidence that Anker has produced one of this spec but I'm just trying to see if anyone has purchased it and noticed a difference in those 200 mAh.
I sure hope these are the real deal. I was so bummed to pull back the cover on the Hyperion ones and find out they were not the advertised mah. How a company can do that is beyond me.
Just ordered 2, only because i have yet to buy any extra batteries. Will report my findings when I receive them.
Got my batteries today. Check out the packing. I just facepalmed as soon as I saw it.
Compatible Models:
Samsung Galaxy Note
2500mAh
I peeled the label back; nothing underneath etched or printed on the metal battery housing.
I will report back after I get a few days on a battery.

unless you are in a lab environment 200mAh is almost nothing, maybe 5 minutes at best. All I know is my 2500 mAh's last just as long as my OEM. I normally pull 12 hrs on them with moderate usage, no gaming, and on 3G. Facebook, Reddit, email.
Just took some screen shots. The battery is holding up well for it's capacity after it's first charge cycle.
Great to hear that it is working well. I'm going to order one with 2700mAh with a charger.
I have the Anker batteries as well. I hope your using their charger to because the Anker charger charges the battery more than charging it in the phone. The gripe I have about the charger is that it takes forever to charge your battery.

I actually refuse to use their chargers. Have you ever opened one up? I think I've found nicer components on a car charger that cost me $0.99 shipped on eBay.
My Gnote charger will charge these batteries right around 2 hours. Last evening, I had reinstalled CM9 build 6 and wiped everything, including battery stats. So for not having any battery logs, I'm sitting at 60% from being unplugged since 5:30am EST, and BMW Pro is telling me I have (estimated) 1d 2h remaining on my battery. NOT BAD AT ALL
For $14 for 2 batteries, I would say I am very impressed, as I have always purchased anker batteries for all my android devices.
I wish I could have Anker make me a battery pack for my TF201

The estimated value is what counts actually. My battery's capacity is 2795mAh and it definitely holds up well

Was on CM9 using the BlackDub theme. Currently on MIUI and its smooth as hell
Awesome
Not to bulky either... Option 2 seems worth it.
Thanks
I'm not sure if you noticed but when you charge by phone compared to the battery charger it doesn't fully charge your battery, and that's why I use the charger. I would love to find a battery charger that charges battery at 2amp, do you know of any..?

I got one of these in yesterday. It did say 2500mah on the package but 2700 on the battery. It causes the battery cover to fit pretty snug. I let it charge overnight and will give it a try today. There are some instructions that talked about running it almost dead and then charging and then repeating this cycle 4 times. Did anybody else do this? It was my understanding that with lithium ion batteries this was no longer necessary.
Just bought it, I was going to buy a onite one for $6 less, but there were no reviews for it. I got the anker from Amazon for $26 plus tax.
Has anybody else had a problem getting these batteries to charge while in the phone. I had been taking mine out and using a charger but decided to leave it in last night. I plugged the phone in and got the charging symbol in the status bar. When I opened battery widget pro, it said it was still discharging and the under battery health it said unspecified device error. I put the stock battery in and it charges it just fine.
Update: I cleared the battery stats and now it is charging with no issues.

Aria Charging Woes. Os or Hardware

In the last month my battery started to die faster than usual. I chalked it up to a combination of old age, running beta 4.0/4.1 roms and possibly more usage. But when the phone begain failing to reach 100% charge overnight I became concerned. It would often stop between 78-88%. If rebooted at this charge, m it would register as 100%. Ive wiped battery stats using all kinds of combinations. So I bought 2 new batteries and a wall charger to keep one topped. I have lots of USB cables. This hasn't fixed the problem. Ive used the wall charger to start a battery state wipe with no change in results. It seems a lot of people are/have experienced this issue with varied results and suspicions. I've been logging with battery monitor widget and seeing the charging slow to an almost stop depending on where the bump starts. See below. Thoughts?

Looking for Android Development rom insight to find out if charging rates are a function of the rom or the hardware. This only happens when charging with a rom running.
Sent from my Liberty using xda app-developers app
When you charge a battery to full with the wall charger, then put it in the phone, what does the battery monitor widget app tell you right then?
1) Try using a different wall charger and/or charge from a computer USB port instead.
2) Make sure you don't have an app that is running in the background constantly and killing your battery fast. Easiest way to confirm this is to make a backup of your ROM in CWM (so you can restore if this doesn't fix it), then do a clean install and see if you still have the problems.
I've used multiple chargers now with multiple clean rom installs with multiple batteries. All with the sane results. I have phone off charging enabled which once turned on results in 100% charge... but since rebooting has the same affect I'm not sure its really any different.

Your phone is not supposed to stay awake or screen on the entire time it's charging. This problem has nothing to do with battery or charging problems, it's a problem with one of your apps not letting your phone go into a low-power mode.
Hi, I've the same problem with my aria. Since the beginning of this year I cannot have my phone fully charged. It started off with inability to go 100% charged, then it dropped to 90%, 80%, 70%, and now 60%. If there's luck, it can go to 70+%. Hard reset, wiping the battery stats in cwm, charge with different cables/adapters, still the same problem. It cannot beat the battery life when using stock rom. Another thing, everytime I checked with my built-in battery meter, the screen uses 41% of the juice. It seems that everytime I turn off the screen, the phone still uses the battery as if the screen is still on. Any suggestions? Thanks. (I'm using winsuk's cm9)

I'd try running the 2.2.2 RUU on the phone to make sure all the partitions on the phone are not corrupted, and see if you have the problem on the official 2.2.2 stock ROM. (Make a backup first if you want to be able to revert!)
So I was going to post back that this was a clean install with only the basic non background running apps that I've always run like xda... and that it never used to do this. But what you said made sense so I broke my evening habbit and made sure that the screen was off and system able to sleep when set aside to charge. You were right.
What changed was my night time habbit of plugging in and surfing apps before bed and not making sure to turn the screen of before putting it down

I never came back and reposted... but this turned out to be a fluke. I've been making sure the screen is turned off but the battery still wont charge all the way .. usually only to 70%. I've been using my external wall charger to keep a second battery always charged and take it with me. Disappointing but it seems to be hardware related.
Sent from my Liberty using xda app-developers app
I've had a device that has such a problem. Except to an extreme point where my battery % will not go up at all and I didn't stick around to let it go all the way to 1% and die off not able to charge. I brought it to the shop when it just got stuck at 40+% max. And everytime it drops, it would not go up anymore. So the only way is to have it charged 24/7.
As much as I investigated, this has nothing to do with hardware, but software instead. It fails to register the fact that your battery is charged/charging/discharging. And in some cases, when it hits a certain %, it will detach itself to read your battery status while charging, therefore stops the charging process and your battery would drain (sometimes even while charging).
The software is responsible for these. Detecting when your battery is charged, it will stop the charging process and recharge it again when it drops a little lower than 100%. This is how the phone is programmed to avoid "Overcharge". But that role of your software seems to fail.
It's definitely hardware, and I wonder if maybe having it overclocked at 806 for so long had something to do with it.
My buddy and I swapped Aria's to try and troubleshoot the problem. We both have the same clockworkmod installed but decided to reinstall clockwork on both to be sure. We repartitioned both of our class 10 SDCards and formatted clean, we both formatted EVERYTHING on the phone (system, dalvik, cache, data, etc). We both loaded the same CM7 with gapps as we have both done in the past and then we agreed on a common set of minimal apps to download so that we would both have the same apps (apps like Maps, Facebook, and Pulse but nothing more) just the bare essentials to get by for a few days. We didn't even install gmail. Since his phone has been working good, I let him keep his battery and I put my battery in his phone, then I took his phone and he took mine. Less than 24hrs later, he calls me to tell me my phone drains the battery so fast its almost useless, and he cant get it to charge all the way on his charging cables which work fine on his phone. He also noted my phone runs much hotter than his. His phone at my place, however seems to work fine with my batter, charger, etc etc. So after 2 days, he insists we trade back (damn..) and I get my poor aria back - now verified that there is some hardware issue and it doesn't have anything to do with software.
So, I bought a Galaxy S 2 Skyrocket for $9 on att.com and the little aria goes in the tech drawer. It's been fun people, I'll check back in occasionally as it was a fun ride - I'm really gonna miss the trackball
me too!i think it's CM9's BUG

Question Does it overheat while wireless charging + wireless android auto?

Hi,
before buying S23 Ultra blindly - the same way I did with OnePlus 10 Pro I just wanted to know if S23 Ultra is overheating while being wirelessly charged and running wireless android auto (with google maps + spotify).
OP10Pro is complete trash at this task, overheating in less than 30 minutes - which is the reason I want to change the phone.
Well idk about wireless charging but if you don't fast charge it shouldn't ever overheat. I use wireless aa and usually plug my phone into a charger that isn't fast charge and as long as the phone in direct sunlight on the dash it's good.
Well, the thing is that I want to be finally use my car to the fullest with no cables dangling around. The wireless charger is in the bottom of center console, so it always is in a shadow, but it is not cooled in any way.
If only any phone could handle ~3h of wireless charging along with wireless android auto it would be perfect
I also use wireless AA and cabled charging with no issue but never tried wireless charging in the car. That said, consider using the battery protection mode to cap your charging at 85% that way it will charge for less time and then stop charging at 85 instead of constantly sending a charge in
Well the wireless charger in my car is nowhere near 'fast', it's rather of a battery percentage suspender rather than charger, so caping charging wouldn't do much in my case.
The only thing I need to know is if there is a prompt about phone being too warm while using wireless charger and wireles android auto at the same time for more than 2 hours. If the phone stays within 48 deg. Celsius it would be perfect for this task since no overheating would take place.

Well, I don't have the opportunity to give a try to it, but I'd suggest that you create two routines like this:
if (phone connected to your car's BT & wireless charging is active & battery level hits 60%) {
turn off wireless charging
}
if (phone connected to your car's BT & wireless charging is inactive & battery level hits 40%) {
turn on wireless charging
}
Unfortunately not a direct answer to your question but using an air vent car mount wireless charger could be a solution. Even if it gets sunlight in hot weather, turning on AC could reduce the heat.

That would work for sure, yet this would be a pain not to use dedicated cars charger. Plus I'm not a fan of blocking the air vents. Thanks for the ideo though.

Generally thanks to all of you for your responses!
Still waiting for someone who tested this wireless charging + wireless AA him/herself and could give a feedback on temperatures!
I use my phone for youtube in my car 1h 20m in each direction twice a day, but i charge it with a wire. I dont feel the phone overheating, sometimes when the sun hits it hard it feel warm at the top - where the sun hits it, coz i put it on a holder on middle vents. I'm 95% sure that you wont face any issues, those OEM wireless chargers are very slow, probably 5W, it will be a challange to overheat the s23u with this simple tasks. Maybe if it is 40 degrees and you dont use climate control, you may feel something. In my experience i have noticed that weak network signal makes the phone work harder, this is something to consider too, not only the phone itself. If you put it in the charger from the picture, a lot of other tech will interfere with the signal, plus you are moving with 90-140km/h.
I charge at 15W and i have no issues, you will charge at 5-10W, i guess you wont have issues too. Hopefuly someone with newer car can give you better feedback.
If you are from EU, buy it online, try it and return it if it doesnt work for you You have 14 days to return it - no question asked.
I charge with official samsung fast wireless charger EP-P2400 (15W) after full charge its very little warm. Also I have samsung lather case.

Have you done that with your previous phones too? If so, what was the battery like after a year or two? Did you notice any real-world/perceptible degradation etc?
I'd never owned a wireless charger before, as didn't see the point of spending money on it, but I literally got two as a free bonus recently (both Samsung official). I definitely noticed the phone get mildly warm even with normal wireless charging (not fast). This is concerning, as heat is the arch enemy of any battery.
With my usual wired charging (which is somewhat customised due to wanting to "merge" cables with my Microsoft Surface device), I get no feeling of heat whatsoever - the disadvantage is that the charging speed is only around 1% per 2 minutes, but that's more than fast enough for me in my specific situation.

How is this relevant to the OP's question of using wireless charging in the car while connected wirelessly to Android Auto?

I think it's relevant, as if it gets slightly warm even without using Android Auto, then it will likely be worse than that with Android Auto running. It would be more useful if he specified whether his description was with Android Auto running or not though.

It is possible that your device could overheat while using wireless charging and wireless Android Auto simultaneously.
Wireless charging can generate heat as it charges your device's battery, especially if it's not properly aligned on the charging pad or if the charging pad itself is not properly ventilated. Similarly, using wireless Android Auto can also cause your device to generate heat as it uses the device's processing power and Wi-Fi or Bluetooth to communicate with your car's infotainment system. https://www.aalikinfo.com/
When using both features simultaneously, the added heat from wireless charging and wireless Android Auto can potentially cause your device to overheat. To prevent this, make sure that your device is properly aligned on the charging pad and that the charging pad is adequately ventilated. You can also try reducing the brightness of your device's screen or turning off other battery-intensive features to help keep your device cool.

I am well aware of the fact that wireless charging + wireless AA is likely to generate considerate amount of heat. As mentioned in the beggining I currently use OnePlus 10 Pro which has one of the worst CPUs there are in terms of warming up.
This whole thread was to find a person who actually has Samsung S23 Ultra and is using this phone with wireless android auto while charging wirelessly and could confirm or decline the phone experiencing problems in this very scenario.
From what I've heared the S22 Ultra was managing heat good enough not to experience this issues, but since S23 is running snap gen 3 and not the same exynos as predecessor then I just though I might as well ask.

My car provides lousy 15W or so charging, so I suppose it wouldn't make a difference.
Still I can't buy such expensive phone not knowing for sure it doesn't overheats in such a simple task.
I've tried it on an X5 and I haven't faced any heating issues.

These routines cannot stop charging, they can only slow it down by disabling fast charging, charging continues at a slower rate so your resume charging at 40% routine will never be activated. Only Battery Protection at 85% stops charging completely when this feature is turned on.
I have wireless aa and running it for 30 mins = 6% battery drain. I have a slow wireless charger in the car too and running both simultaneously = slight heating. In short, it's not good for the battery's health for it to charge and be heavily used at the same time. To me, wireless aa is a failed cause and can't be as good as wireless carplay. Connection drop outs and excessive battery drains have led me to abandon this.
