There's no difference in the charging with respect to the number of SIM cards the S10 supports.

Do you have both the USB-C cable connected and are wirelessly charging ? Only do one method at a time.

The duo charger comes with its own wall adapter in the box. It's bigger than usual and more powerful so it can cope with charging two devices at once.

When I first got mine, I forgot to change adapters and it would blink yellow. Then I remembered that the correct adapter is in the box!

Hello there,

Had the same issue with the normal charging base (EP-P3105) and any adapter i would use, still yellow, until i dug up a better one that could deliver 2 amps.

So yeah, yellow blinking means your adapter is too weak to charge the phone by induction

Hey! I found this thread because my charger was blinking yellow as well, but when checking everything it out it turned out that the cord going into the charging box wasn't plugged in all the way. Completely ridiculous mistake but check that out before you assume it's actually broken

I wish my issue was as simple to resolve. My Samsung EP-P5200 dual charger started blinking this morning so I spoke to a CSR at Samsung and long story short, if I don't present the actual bill, then I'm hooped! This was a birthday gift from my sons (17 and 19 years old) and unfortunately, they didn't have the foresight to save the receipt/bill. Funny enough, all they had to do was review my account to see that my family has two (2) phone products, plus a Gear 3 watch plus a 55" Samsung TV. I mentioned all this to the CSR and instead of Samsung simply standing by their products, they use their standard protocol "playbook" to get out of having to replace their defective product. I was happy to upload photos or video of the issue including highlighting the current Samsung family of products that I own, but their Support Platform conveniently does not permit upload or print screens of any kind. Anyway, for $100 (Retail) charger that probably costs them under $15-20 to manufacture, they seem quite content to risk losing me as a (once) loyal customer. Now I have no interest in ever charging their watch again and now that my Provider Plan is up for renewal, I'll stick with Android but I think that I can do better than Samsung as I'm sure Google will be able to "See the forest for the trees".

I have the cord that came with the charger. Its two feet. If you plan on putting this anywhere within standard reach then I hope you have a wall outlet that isn't at the base of the floor. Ive tried multiple plugs and cables and it's still blinking yellow.

Samsung if you want people to use your cable for an item that sits on a table/desk/dresser you have chosen an extremely poor length of cord. My old charger works fine, it just doesn't have the fan. So looks like I'll be returning this for a refund.

I'm having the same issue it worked for 2 months then amber lights and as it was a promotion it is no longer covered even though these products usually have 12 month warranty .

You need a wall "BRICK" that is QC 3 (3 AMP) capable. I lost my brick and none of my other Samsung or Belkin wall chargers would work. I had a wireless hub that used a 3 AMP brick with QC 3 on it and that works perfect. Stopped the blinking yellow light in their tracks :^) Hope this helps someone else!

Thanks for this message. I was mad for ages that this thing wouldn't work. I was puzzled why it would work in my Livingroom and then not in the bedroom. After reading your reply, I figured it out. The charger I have in the Livingroom is more powerful. Thanks a bunch, I was about to toss the thing out.

Exactly the same happened to me 🤬

I have searched for a replacement adapter (EP-TA300) with no luck whatsoever.

EP-TA300 Chargers on the right is are hard to find, only blocks that work with the EP-P5200

I had the same problem and couldn't find the original charging brick. So I used a laptop charger, The kind with power cord that goes to a brick that goes to a cable that has a USB-C connector, like you get when you buy a laptop and the kind you can also buy on Amazon for about 20 bucks. That worked.

Same issue with the EP-P6300 multi wireless charger, I tried mulitple cables and Power adapter including the ones that where previously working and all where USB-A to USB-C. I tried a USB-C power adapter with USB-C to USB-C cable and no more flashing orange lights, works fine.

On power up the lights cycle quickly Red, Orange, Green, Off and lights on as expected when charging. I then tried a different USB-C power adapter and a different USB-C to USB-C cable and still worked fine.

I think anyone experiencing the flashing orange light might want to try USB-C to USB-C Power adapter and cable before throwing it away.

Good luck

I've worked out the the input is just as important as the output. The charger needs to have at least a 1 amp input. 2 amp works a well. Then the output needs to be a 5 volt and at least 2 amp. Once i realised that, i found various chargers that worked even a travel adapter with a charger built in and it worked. So glad because my pericial charger died. Cheers.
