Wireless charging is one of the most convenient features on modern Samsung phones. Just place your device on the charging pad and it powers up without cables. But if your Galaxy S25 FE is not charging wirelessly, there are several possible reasons and easy fixes you can try.
Why Your Galaxy S25 FE Might Not Be Charging Wirelessly
- The phone is not aligned properly on the charging pad.
- The charging pad or cable is faulty.
- Wireless charging is disabled in settings.
- A thick case or accessory is blocking the signal.
- Software glitches or outdated firmware are interfering.
Check Phone and Charger Alignment.
Wireless charging requires proper alignment between your phone and the pad. If the coils inside both devices do not line up, power will not transfer.
Make sure your Galaxy S25 FE is centered on the charger. If you have a larger charging pad, try adjusting the position slightly until you see the charging indicator.
Inspect the Charger and Cable.
Sometimes the problem is not with the phone but with the charging setup. A damaged cable or adapter can stop the charger from supplying enough power.
- Unplug the charging pad, and then check the cable for wear or breaks.
- Use the original Samsung adapter and cable, and then test the charger with another device if possible.
Enable Wireless Charging.
Your Galaxy S25 FE has a setting that controls fast wireless charging. If it is off, charging may not work correctly or at all.
- Open Settings, and then tap Battery and device care.
- Tap Battery, and then tap More battery settings. Toggle on Fast wireless charging.
Remove Case or Accessories.
Thick or metal cases can block wireless charging signals. Even wallet cases or magnetic accessories can interfere.
- Take off the case or accessory, and then place your phone directly on the charging pad.
- Wait a few seconds to check if the charging icon appears on the screen.
Restart or Update Your Phone.
Temporary glitches can stop wireless charging from working. Restarting or updating your device often clears these problems.
- Press and hold the Side and Volume Down keys, and then tap Restart.
- To update, open Settings, and then tap Software update. Tap Download and install if an update is available.
Try a Different Wireless Charger.
If you have followed the above steps and the issue persists, the charging pad itself may be the problem.
- Place your Galaxy S25 FE on another Samsung-certified wireless charger.
- If it charges, replace your old charger with a new one that supports fast charging.
If your Galaxy S25 FE still refuses to charge wirelessly after these steps, you may be dealing with a hardware issue. In that case, visiting a Samsung service center is the best solution.
