1) If it's fully charged, it'll do that.

2) You'll need a coil and an oscilloscope to check whether he pad is still putting out a signal.

3) If it is, you'll need to follow the signal, in the phone, from the coil in the receiver, through the circuitry toward the charging contacts in the phone (the little dots it connects to near the battery) to see where the voltage is failing. It's probably either a bad receiver component or the contact to the phone isn't tight enough so current flows, causes heat and after a few minutes the cable moves up, away from the contact.

Or, if you bought it locally you can bring it, and your phone, back and they can check it.

Or you can find a cellphone repair shop that has a tech who actually understands electronics and can troubleshoot it (which will cost more than most Qi charging systems).

Or you can contact the manufacturer for a replacement and hope it's a bad charger, not the fact that you installed it wrong.
 
It sounds like either a bad receiver or charger. I'm using the Nokia qi charger and I've never had that problem. Do you know someone else with one or a local phone store that has one you can try?
