Re: Note 3 wireless charging question.

I searched around myself and found nothing that correlated between wireless charging and hotspot. I can only imaging that maybe somehow between reboots, maintenance, and toggling hotspot on/off that wireless charging hardware was triggered. Fluke maybe. Does it continue to work now?

As far as I can tell if my hotspot is off, NO, the charger blinks and phone stops charging. I'm going to try booting to safe mode again.

If wireless charging only works in hotspot mode, it would sound like a hardware defect.

I'm going to check when I get home and try to isolate the issue. I guess if I have to leave my hotspot then that may be my only solution. My charger has a built in fan and I have a cheap mini fan blowing during longer charges,

Look like it's a battery issue. I'm going to order a new one. I also have a Note 8, how do we get those batteries repaired after the year warranty is up?

You can take it to a third-party repair facility such as in a mall or shopping plaza or you can send it back to Samsung.

The info above is pretty solid.
You can go the DIY route with some YouTube help, but not suggested.

I'm just glad it's not my daily driver. it's one of the reasons I upgraded to the Note 8. I will keep the forum updated.

Not yet, I'm going to order today I wasn't in a big hurry because I use my Note 8 as my daily driver. it just sucks, I'll pull my note 3 off the charger at 100% and 20 min later it shuts off and has zero charge. when I turn back on.

Still waiting on the battery to arrive, So it's looks like they dead cell's is with in the 80-85% of the battery because it charges fine up to that point and after.
This is both with and without the hotspot on.

Well it has but, I tried something I uninstalled three apps and stopped a few of the Google play processes, and my battery drain/charging issue went away "stumped" because I reset the phone. Thanks for checking

Woah! Now there's something I wouldn't have thought to do. That's super helpful for us to know. Let us know if this creeps up again.
