Ha ha ha.
I can charge my wife's Samsung watch off Qi on my phone. We had to learn how AND do it while on vacation when the Samsung inductive rig for it was left at home.
Worked like fucking gangbusters.
This article is shit.
Didn't know this was a feature so I just tried it and... my watch thinks my phone is "gym equipment" and asks for permission to send my heartrate to it. How do you setup charging?
Did you enable "wirless power sharing" in quick panel settings/device settings? It won't charge another device without turning it on manually
I have tried to charge my Samsung watch on all kinds of Qi devices. They don't work. The newer Samsung phones can charge them, but only because they have a separate set of coils that support watches.
