So after a quick google search it appears my s21 ultra will not fast wireless charge using a non Samsung charger like the big that was reported with the s20. It'll start fast charging when first put on the pad and after 5 or so seconds it reverts back to normal wireless charging. Anyone else have this issue? I have uploaded a video and my logs using Samsung members but yet to have a response on that yet.

But it only says fast charging when my screen is awake.Here's what I have. I have the Samsung wireless duo with the adaptive fast charging brick, with a Samsung charging cable.

It only shows fast wireless charging when I wake up my screen, otherwise when my screen is off, it only shows the time it will take until fully charged and the current battery percentage.

I have the exactly same charger and brick and it indeed gives that fast loader message for a few seconds, after that I get the message that's not the correct loader and it reverts to standard wireless charging, same with my other charger without the watch  charger. All have the original  European Samsung fast charger, this double on has an even bigger Samsung charger, original cables to. No wireless fast charging unfortunately.

So how about you give an official statement? Is Samsung restricting us to only their brand of wireless chargers?

wired fast charging and wireless fast charging are 2 different things under different settings in your phone

I totally agree. Samsung is getting very restrictive and reducing multi product capabilities and therefore reducing value of phone.
I personally cannot return my S20, however I am inclined to move to another brand when up for renewal.

Like I said this is a fast wireless charger that worked on my S9+ and on my brothers Note 9. Yes, I have fast wireless charging enabled. I am also aware that for some it is working if they have an official Samsung charger that is why this is so frustrating. In the past you did not need a Samsung wireless charger for this to work. It seems to me they are attempting to force you to buy a branded charger for no reason.

Samsung in my eyes was always well above Apple when it came to the consumer but as of Recently it's like they are following in their footsteps 😒
