Wish Verizon version of my Note5 could get Samsung Pay NOW. After arriving at Costco on Sunday with NO money or credit cards (purse switch gone wrong!) realized how USEFUL Samsung Pay could've been.

You can't get it if your with Verizon?
 
When I picked up my Note 5 a couple of weeks ago from Best Buy, they had a Sammy booth set up and gave out free wireless chargers to people getting a Sammy. I'm on VZ but Sammy did not care about the carrier.
 
Got my wireless charger today and it works great!! Better then the one I got off eBay (which I believe now is a fake)
 
Check if this is Fast Charging Device....because the older one takes time to recharge through wireless mode

Which one,the latest one you have (from Samsung),or,the e-Bay one,or,both?
If the other wireless charger isn't a Samsung-branded one,who's the mfg?
Just curious,especailly regarding the 1st charger you got from e-Bay.

I have two that I've used recently:
TYLT: http://www.tylt.com/vu-wireless-charger
KICKASS,don't care if it's not specifically deemed a quick charger,it does a nice job,relatively quick & stays connected,no-fuss drop & go,picks up every time.

ITIAN/SPIGEN: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...&qid=1446417784&ref_=sr_1_1&s=wireless&sr=1-1
This one worked fairly well for about 4-6 months,but,my last two phones that I've used it with (Note5 & Nexus6) didn't seem to do too well,had to perfectly place the phone on it to charge & even then,the connection is intermittent (I've since relegated it to a phone stand).

But,the TYLT,has been going strong for about two years now,I recommend picking one up,especially if you find a sale/discount code. (Carriers sometimes sell/discount this too,worth looking in on periodically).
 
The other on says Samsung and I got it off eBay... it worked just not thru my case and very slow! The new one I got directly from Samsung works with my case so I'm happy!! It keeps me from using my phone when I'm charging it... that one habit I couldn't seem to break.
 
I guess they're really trying to get rid of them huh. I'm having issues with mine it's not charging to a 100% it stops at all different percentages

You know... I thought I noticed that too but I wasn't sure and keep forgetting to check when I take it off!! I'm going to try to pay more attention!

That is a design flaw.

While charging, if you get certain notifications (I don't recall if it's an email, text, reminder, game start from an app, etc.,) it will stop charging and the LED under the charger will blink (instead of it lit solid) to let you know there is a notification.

You can pick up the phone off the charger, check the notification, without clearing the messages and put it back on the charger and it will continue to charge. The Red light on your phone should remain lit solid until it's 100% charged, then turns green indicating it's at 100% charge. When green, immediately remove the phone off the charger o/w it will start to discharge it, hence it's not meant for overnight charging.

So, the above are obviously design flaws, however my Samsung wireless charger, thru my thin case will charge from under 20% to 100% in about 3 hours, so I will not complain and deal with these flaws!
 
On the plus side, since I can't use Samsung Pay:( (posted in that thread) I did receive my wireless charger today! Only one, though.:D And, it works through my Otterbox Defender!
