Google Pixel Owners Report Wireless Charging Stops After November Update

If confirmed, the bug could undermine a flagship Pixel feature by leaving some phones unable to top up on wireless charging pads.

Overview

  • Multiple Pixel owners say their phones show a wireless charging indicator after the November update but the battery percentage does not rise and can slowly drop.
  • Reports name Pixel 11 Pro XL, Pixel 10 Pro XL, Pixel 10 Pro and Pixel 10 as affected models, though the number of impacted users appears limited.
  • Owners who tried reboots, battery diagnostics and different charging pads report no fix, while wired charging with a cable continues to work normally.
  • Google has not confirmed a causal link or announced a remedy even though the November changelog lists a battery and charging fix and recent patches targeted charging-indicator bugs.
  • Until Google responds, owners are advised to use a cable for reliable charging and to check battery levels after short intervals when using wireless pads because overnight charging may fail.
