Question Pixel 7 WIreless Charging Not Working

[telepathy007]

Hey Friends

I am using Pixel 7. I just bought a wireless charger. Everything which has option for wireless charging is getting charged with that wireless charger but my Pixel 7 is not charging wirelessly.
Any solution for that.

I tried on 3 different wireless charger same result, thn had a word with Google customer care and they said it's a on going problem with many devices and their tech team is looking into it.
wireless chargers I tried are from brands spigen, unigen, baseus

My P7 just came in and tested it on my three chargers. ALL WORK flawlessly.
Xiaomi 25W. Jootech 15W and another 5/10W unbranded cheap charger.

Soo...either you have a crap case on your device stopping it from charging, or your pixel is defective.

 

[DJ-Tumor]

just to drop you a line:
Yootech + Xiaomi charger support Max Speed of 12W @ Pixel 7.
Actually I saw 13,5W at some time, but mostly it´s like 12,7W.

I'm having the same problem with different pixels since the 13 update.
They kinda fixed something, because it now charges, but sometimes and very slow.

You need the right charger. Industry are total idiots.
Most want you to buy QuickCharge chargers with the qualcom tech inside.
Obviously Google, Samsung and Apple switched/chose PowerDelivery are as "their charging tech".

Buy something like this:

https://www.amazon.de/dp/B09QM3NCS4?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details

It has both worlds and other than the 33W charger who never exceeded 18W when charged on both ports I didn´t see this one throttle down anything.

Additionally there are differences in the charging stand. I don´t really get it and since there is no information of built in chips or whatever best you can do is take their promises for real. I can confirm this with my own experience. Yootech Stand was pretty slow with the Xiaomi Mi10. Now is the king in the ring with the Pixel 7 by 0,5W.

Try this one:

https://www.amazon.de/dp/B09H2S98MK?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details

It is often recommended with google phones.

But It was in fact minimal slower than the other two I have here, so I´m going to send it back.
12-14W are possible with this thing.
If you want the total wireless power you´ll need the absurd expensive and UGLY Google stand.

 

[DJ-Tumor]

Tested my WCS now couple times:

Yootech 13-15W
Xiaomi 12-14W

Funfact: Putting the Pixel upside down on the chargers give 1 extra Watt of charging speed.
Prooves many of the stands are too small for todays smartphones.

This "effect" will differ with phone-size and case used on the phone.

Hey I am from India so tried 4-5 wireless charger available here but none of thm I found working, only one charger I found I shows battery percentage when I keep my phone on it but it doesn't also charge my phone.
But I tried wireless charging other device with my Pixel 7 using battery share option and those able to get charge from my Pixel 7 so this means wireless charging is working fine for my Pixel 7, if I am not wrong.

So I need to get an proper wireless charger, am I correct?

I had a word with customer care for Pixel and they said any Qi enabled charger will work with Pixel 7 but all the wireless charger I tried support Qi enabled devices but thn also no luck.

Any specific charger I need to look for other than Pixel wireless charker it's too costly in India.

Plz suggest

First thing to try is put the naked phone on the wireless charger.
Had several cases where family members were moaning about wireless charing it wasnt the several chargers they tried but their "beloved" phone-case

Charger recommenadion: charger with "𝙂𝙖𝙉 𝙄𝙄𝙄" like the one from pluggify
Stand recommendation: INIU Wireless Charger Stand

/EDIT: I can only repeat....ANY STAND I´ve put my P7 on WORKED flawlessly.
The fastest one is indeed the one in my car by 0,5-1W charging speed.
I tried 5 different ones so far.

I got this one, and it works. Charging slow, but for me it's OK: Anker 10W Max Wireless Charger, 313 Wireless Charger (Pad). I got a slim no name TPU case on my device all the time.

These are said to be working (German Android forums):

SAMSUNG EP-P4300B

INIU Wireless Charger, 15W

MoKo Wireless Charger + + QC Charger

Pixel Stand 2 (of course)

Amazon Brand - Eono C1

Belkin BoostCharge

+1 on Anker qi charger. It maxes out at 11W for me with a case on so it's a little slow I guess, but I keep it bedside and use it at night with an 85% limit set to (theoretically) save battery life - so it works fine for me.

I got a 35W Heymix GaN charger and the Iniu 15W charger stand. Still no luck getting my P7 to charge. I'm beginning to think it is faulty. This is my second one. First one had problems making and receiving calls. I never had these problems with Samsung . . .

Now on my THIRD Pixel 7. What a pile of garbage this phone is. Couldn't get wireless charging working and they replaced it. Now I'm back to not receiving some calls. I never had any problems like this with Samsung . . .

Lucky you. Not so lucky me. Now on my third SIM too.

Something is wrong with your device or methods. Are you swapping your Note 3 sim with the Pixel 7 or not registering it correctly with the network? Your frustration is palpable and maybe it's time to just go back to Sammy and cut your losses. Either that or put aside the Note 3 and focus on getting the setup for the P7 working as most of us here have done. The device is not a piece of garbage as you state so start over again with a reset and working sim and ask questions from that standpoint.

 

[Revhead]

Thanks for the advice. I'll keep you posted. I want to like this phone, it just keeps letting me down . . .

Well there have been instances of faulty hardware so perhaps an RMA? Or did you do that already? Oh I just looked and you're on your third device. It would help if we knew more about your setup. Like carrier, wireless charger not working, type of sim (physical or eSim) maybe even country you're in. I would start from scratch and factory reset with a brand new physical sim from the carrier, put the sucker in when prompted and connect to the network. Don't restore anything yet even though it's a pain to reset everything back up. Just make sure it works and perhaps go to a store like Best Buy and test out the Google wireless charger. If you can make and receive calls and texts, get data and charge wireless then go from there. Failing any of those simple things would require another RMA. It's really a nice device so I hope you get it figured out.
