How to Charge Your Samsung Phone
Before we talk about Charging your Samsung device, it is important that you make sure the charger you are about to use is rated for your device. In terms of power that will be supplied through the charger and all. Once you’ve confirmed this, follow these three straightforward steps to maximize the speed of your phone’s charging process.
Step 1: Secure your USB cable and charging adapter. Begin by plugging one end of the USB cable into the designated port on your charging adapter. Then, insert the other end of the USB cable into the corresponding USB port on your phone.
Step 2: The next stride is to connect your adapter to a power source. Find a suitable outlet or power socket and plug the adapter into it. For the swiftest charging experience, it’s highly recommended to use a power outlet. Connecting the USB cable to a computer or another device might cause a longer charging duration.
Step 3: Patience is key. Allow your phone to charge until it reaches its full charge. Once your device is fully powered up, perform the final steps to ensure its longevity and safety.
Conclude by disconnecting the USB cable from your phone gently. Then, carefully remove the adapter from the power source, safeguarding your charger and device for future use.
By following these steps, you not only ensure a rapid charge but also prolong the life of your phone and charger. Charging your device with care is essential to maintain its peak performance.
How to Charge your Samsung phone or device wirelessly
Here are steps for using PowerShare on your Galaxy phone:
Step 1: Ensure your phone with PowerShare has a minimum charge of 30%.
Step 2: Swipe down from the top of your screen with two fingers to access Quick settings. Tap the Wireless PowerShare icon. If it’s not there, add the PowerShare quick setting.
Step 3: Plug the wireless charger’s power adapter into an outlet and connect the USB cable to the wireless charger. You’ll see an indicator light flash on the charger’s base.
Step 4: When ready, place your phone or compatible device (like a smartwatch or earbuds) on the wireless charger.
Step 5: Make sure the device’s back is in contact with the charger, and it’s centered. Foldable phones should be closed with their backs facing the charging pad.
Step 6: If necessary, remove your phone’s case, especially if it’s thick.
Step 7: To stop charging, simply separate the two devices. PowerShare turns off automatically after 60 seconds if no other device is detected.
Additional Tip: You can charge your Galaxy phone while it charges another device by connecting your phone to its original charging cable while using PowerShare.

Samsung Charging Indicator light colors/Meaning
When you encounter a red light on your wireless charger, understanding its significance can make all the difference in ensuring your device’s proper charging status. Here, we delve into the various indicator lights and the insights they provide:
- Red Light: When you observe a steady red light on your wireless charger, it’s signaling that your device is currently charging. This is a positive indicator that power is flowing from the charger to your device, replenishing its battery.
- Green Light: On the other end of the spectrum, a green light is a welcome sight. It shows that your device has reached a full charge, and you can confidently disconnect it from the charger without any worries of overcharging.
- Flashing Red Light: If you notice a red light blinking intermittently, it may be a sign that your device is not charging as expected. The most common reason for this is the misalignment or improper positioning of your phone on the charger. Ensure that your device is centered and properly placed on the charging pad for efficient charging.
- No Light (Off): When the indicator light is off, it signifies a couple of scenarios. Firstly, it can indicate that your phone has been removed from the wireless charger, and the charging process has been halted. Secondly, it could mean that the wireless charger itself is not connected to a power outlet. In both cases, a lack of illumination suggests that charging is not in progress.
Being able to interpret these indicator lights on your wireless charger empowers you to troubleshoot any issues and ensure that your device is receiving the power it needs effectively.
