Anyone else's wireless charger suck?

[Spikes]

I replaced my wireless charger a while back with the Gen 2 so it would charge my S10+. For some reason it will only charge it for like 3 minutes before it just...stops, and won't start again until I pick it up for 10 seconds and place it back down. Then it repeats the process, charges for a few and then randomly stops. My phone charges fine on normal charge pads. I take it out of the case to make sure it is in direct contact with the pad and it fits snug in it. Should I just look for a different aftermarket option?

I've actually never used mine. There has to be a ton of losses charging something that way? Anyways, I just plug it with the charging cord.

Yikes!  Mine quit working with my phone, when I put my Otterbox Cover on it, but my wife's phone works great.  I know that they will not recharge your phone if your battery is at/over like 95%, but that's not to say that if you put your phone on it at 90% that it won't charge until full.  I would try taking your phone cover off (if you have one), and see what happens.  The wireless charging system will/may not keep up with supplying power to your phone, while you're using it.  They all suck for recharging, especially while in use.

I've taken the case off before (though it is just a very slim case) and the phone by itself fits snugly into the console. Normal charging pads seem to work fine with/without the case...just wondering if maybe it is weak. 

 

Not a huge deal but since getting the wireless android auto it drains my battery much quicker so I figured having it on the wireless pad would be ideal, guess that is not the case lol.
