Update 3/18
I can no longer recommend this charger. It continuously stops and starts charging my Note 8 no matter what position i put it in, even without a case. I am using the cable and charger provided from iottie as well.
I feel that this is an inferior product as my wireless charges at home and office work perfectly so I know the problem is not with my phone but the charger itself
I been using wireless charging Iottie products before and they work great, but noticed that the phone would discharge if using maps and streaming pandora, so I got this fast wireless charger to prevent that.
I used the included power adapter and placed my Note 8 with a slim case on the charger. I did move the bottom bracket all the way down per the instructions.
Placed the phone on the charger and went for a ride.
I did notice the fast wireless charging message on the screen, so so far so good, but a few minutes after I noticed the wireless charging beep/message pop up on the screen again. It was still charging.. Few minutes later, same thing. This behavior repeated many times.
So I did an experiment.
I removed the case from the phone and placed it on the charger. Now it was going a longer time before the charging message would pop up.
Lastly, i removed the bottom bracket of the charger, placed the case on the phone and put the phone just a tad lower on the charger than the bottom bracket would have allow. To give you an idea, the left pad of the charger, was pressing half of the bixby button (i have bixby deactivated)
I found that this position, the wireless charging would activate and work flawlessly for a very long time.
Is possible that due to the size of the note 8, plus putting a case that would slightly move the phone higher (due to the bottom bumper of the case) and put it right at the edge of the coils, which made the charger go in and out.
It is unfortunate that Iottie did not include a longer bottom bracket to allow the Note 8 to match with the charging coils.
I cannot use the phone without a case and not using the bottom bracket and trying to align the phone each time is a huge hassle, so I will continue to use it like it is now and ignore the charging beeps that come on frequently.
