Remove third-party cases or covers from both devices.
Wireless PowerShare will not work through particularly thick cases, and some materials may prevent charging. Remove any third-party cases or covers from your devices.
You should also remove headphones. Do not use any while sharing power because doing so may affect nearby devices.
Make sure the phone that is providing power has a sufficient charge.
If the phone sharing power has less than 30 percent battery and is not plugged in, Wireless PowerShare will not turn on.
However, if you charge the phone while wirelessly charging another device, the charging speed may decrease or the device may not charge properly.
Turn on Wireless PowerShare.
On the phone that is sharing power, swipe down from the top of the screen with two fingers to access the Quick Settings panel. Then, swipe to and tap the Wireless power sharing icon to turn on the feature.
You can also charge both devices with one cable. After turning on Wireless PowerShare, connect the two devices using your included charger. Both devices will charge simultaneously.
Place the devices on a flat surface with plenty of space.
Because the position of the wireless charging coils can vary by device, you may need to slowly move the devices until they are in the correct position. Check the on-screen illustration for help with lining up your devices.
When charging begins, the power sharing phone will vibrate and play a tone.
With all charging, some heat is generated during the process, especially if both devices are charging simultaneously. Wireless PowerShare will turn off if either device becomes too warm.
