Hi,
I have been using a Battery Case for my old S9+ so far.
Now I got a S20 (without + or ultra or FE) and tried 2 Battery Cases, and both do not support devices attached to the USB-C port.
I work on 24 hour shifts, I use my smartphone in emergencies with a medical ultrasound device (which consumes battery) and I am not always able to charge my phone in time. Also, I do not want to take it out of the case every time I use android auto (my car only supports wired connection).
Anyone knows of a case which has a currently working USB-C port? Thanks!
Check out Spigen Rugged Armor. Its my go to case for every phone.
A mission dedicated device for the ultrasound might be a better solution.
Lol, I get it your phone is that device but it should probably be only an emergency backup.
Maybe you could strap a wireless battery bank to the back of the phone
I use this battery pack:

I have these both for my Galaxy Note 3.
I have this battery because I always need extra power. It fits my needs. It is a perfect match and fit, the quality is great as always from RavPower. Having 2 batteries makes it so I never worry about power issues. This battery charges just like the OEM battery and i think it lasts just a tad bit longer. The dock station is also excellent because I can just put it in at night and its fully charged in the AM. The only slight flaw I see is the it is a little wobbly, but I believe that is because it will charge any micro USB phone that will fit onto it. Both are excellent products.

Hey guys! Bought the official samsung charging pad today, for novelty factor more so then anything else if im honest! It was €55 to buy online here in Ireland (which is crazy money) but i got it along with a case for only €40 as part of a deal so i thought why the hell not. It came without a cable so naturally i assume i must use the fast charge cable with it? Here are a few questions i have.........
If using the fast charging cable with it , does that mean i will be getting fast charging capabilities from it? (iam assuming not)
If its generally not a good idea to use fast charge plugged in over night then does this apply to the wireless pad in conjunction with the fast charger?
And lastly. Can i run the cable from the usb port on my computer or does it have to be plugged in to a socket when using the wireless pad? The answers may seem obvious but just asking none the less! Not taking any chances with this baby ha
I have four of them. Two of the small rectangular ones from last year, and two of the newer round ones from this year, so I'll take a stab at your questions.
If using the fast charging cable with it , does that mean i will be getting fast charging capabilities from it? (iam assuming not)
I have not seen, nor did I expect to see, any difference using a fast-charger vs. standard. As such, I only use standard charger adapters for wireless duty.
If its generally not a good idea to use fast charge plugged in over night then does this apply to the wireless pad in conjunction with the fast charger?
My S6 Edge stops charging while on either version of the wireless charging pad, once it reaches 100%. The light on the (newer, round) pad goes from blue to green once it has reached this point.
And lastly. Can i run the cable from the usb port on my computer or does it have to be plugged in to a socket when using the wireless pad? The answers may seem obvious but just asking none the less! Not taking any chances with this baby ha
Unless your PC can source 2A from the USB port, then, no, you cannot use your PC USB port to power the wireless charging pad.
Any idea where i could get a longer geniune samsung charging cable so? I bought the wireless pad for use at a desk but the cable on the fast charger is too small to reach from the socket to the desk! I would need the cable to be at least another foot or two longer
Questions belong in Q&A, not General.
Thank you.
I have a question I'd like to add!
I've never used wireless charging before, can you use it on the s6 edge with a case on the phone? Does this impede the wireless charging? Thanks!

Impede? Yes.
Any distance between the surface of the charging-pad and the back of your phone will impact the wireless inductive charging. The less, the better.
Also, obviously, any case that includes conductive materials will be a non-starter.
That said, my Speck case and my wife's (brand unknown at this moment) case work satisfactorily with both the Samsung round and rectangular charging pads. I have read that there are people that have had poor wireless charging experiences with some (probably thicker, more rugged) cases.
Searching should find the specifics.
Should I use the one by Samsung so as not to degrade the battery?
or it doesn't matter at all?
What brands would you recommend?
It doesn't matter. I use 2 official wireless chargers and one 3rd party pleeson brand.
Not one difference.

I don't know, after the latest system update on verizon my 3rd party wireless charger stopped working. Only charges about 20% then stops.
Shouldn't be. But I'm waiting for the new convertible one to be on sale.
No problem with my choetech stand fast wireless charger.
The S8 supports most wireless chargers, but it's best to make sure the charger you pick was made for at least the S7 if you want to get the wireless fast charge function.
The transmitter for the wireless charger also needs to line up with the right spot on your phone or it might not make a proper connection. I had this issue with my S6 where the spot on the phone was lower than the charger, so I had to put something below the phone to line it up with the charger.
Just saw this fast wireless charger deals on Slickdeals! Hope useful for you: https://slickdeals.net/f/10178316-choetech-qi-wireless-charging-stand-for-galaxy-note-5-s8-s7-s6-edge-and-more-16-ac-fsss?src=SiteSearchV2_SearchBarV2Algo1
I snagged the official 2017 wireless charger for a steal at best buy. I showed them an online add from cdw and they took it!!! Only cause it was the last one in stock and they wanted to slang it quick. Lady at the register was surprised I got the deal.
Bought a Tronsmart Chocolate Bar charger. Works just fine, though I plan to move the charger circuit (replacing the microUSB port with a soldered USB cable or even a QC3.0 power brick) into a 3D printed phone stand.
I have a normal diy wireless charging coil. It heard up more than it charges.
I bought a Black Web wireless charger from Walmart originally as a temporary charger until we got in the Samsung one. Honestly not going to bother. It works well enough, no heat and holds the phone at 100% once charged.
I looked around on Amazon and it seems to be identical to several they sell, just different branding.
I'm content at the moment, was only $20.
My Nexus 6 charger worked only at normal speeds. I like the magnet in it so ordered magnets to attempt to modify the Blackweb charger. They aren't necessarily needed, just something I want to attempt.
Hello Guys,
I already bought Samsung OEM EP-LN920 vehicle charger with quick charge capability. In related web page in Samsung official website, S8/S8+ wasn’t mentioned in compatible devices however “Note 5” , S7 , … are in the list.
http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/mo...e-micro-usb-and-type-c-cable--ep-ln920bbegus/
Anyone can confirm it’s OK to use it for S8+ , is it safe? No battery damage?
When I call Samsung center they said to me we cannot confirm it!?
Thanks
Any quality car charger will work just fine. These phones have pretty amazing built in charging circuitry to prevent most damage from incompatible chargers. Stay away from really cheap gas station bucket types. Any reputable brand with good quality control will work just fine. More important is actually the cable you're using if using Quick Charge devices. Invest in good quality USB-C cables. I picked up an Anker Power Drive 2 car charger on Amazon for about $13. Has great reviews. No problems and charges my S8 Plus while playing video and another device no problem.

Hello everybody
I bought a Huawei Mate 10 pro and I love it! My previous phone was a Huawei P9 lite, so it's a huge upgrade...
But... I don't know anything about electricity or chargers/cables so I need your help!
I used my old huawei P9 lite as a GPS (Waze/Google Maps) in my car. I used a normal, cheap micro-usb to usb cable and a usb-car charger to charge my phone while using it as a GPS. But with the SuperCharge-option from the Huawei Mate 10 pro I'm lost... Can I buy a normal usb-c to usb cable and plug the phone in on my normal usb-car charger or do I also need some special SuperCharge-items? And what is the cheapest/best option to buy (on amazon.de)?
Many many thanks for all the help!!!

You can use a MicroUSB-to-USBC adaptor to charge it at a somewhat pedestrian rate (~4 hours for a full charge) - this is what I'm doing at my desk because I already have a 2.1A standard USB charger here. This should suffice for just keeping the battery afloat whilst driving, but if you need to be able to give the battery a good bum-kick in your car, you'll want a SuperCharge adaptor for the job.
I ordered one of these genuine Huawei SuperCharge car chargers through AliExpress - not particularly cheap at ~USD$30, but in my opinion a worthwhile investment to save getting stranded on a multi-day trip when you might not have access to mains power.
I got a genuine car Supercharger through ebay for about AUD48 and it works well. From memory it went from about 30% to 85% during a 30min drive to work. The charger didn't get anywhere near as warm as a generic car charger I used to use for charging my old S5 in the car.
