TL;DR<\/p>\n
Some Pixel owners are reporting wireless charging issues after installing Google\u2019s November update.
\nAffected users say their phones show a charging indicator, but the battery percentage keeps dropping instead of rising.
\nIt\u2019s unclear whether the update is responsible for the issue. We\u2019ve reached out to Google for comment.<\/p>\n
This doesn\u2019t yet appear to be a widespread issue, but it doesn\u2019t seem to be an isolated one either. The complaints stem from a recent Google Support post<\/a>, where a Pixel 10 Pro XL user reports that their device lost its wireless charging capabilities after installing Google\u2019s November 5 update, which rolled out with the new Pixel Drop.<\/p>\n According to the user, when they throw their phone onto a certified Qi2 wireless charger, the phone indicates that it is charging, but the battery percentage actually goes down. They added that they\u2019ve tried out several Qi2 chargers that worked perfectly before the Pixel update, but none really work now. Their battery diagnostics are normal, and the usual troubleshooting steps, including a hard reboot, don\u2019t offer any relief.<\/p>\n Others in the thread corroborated the claim. One user pointed out similar inconsistencies:<\/p>\n I did have one brief session on my usual charger that worked. But every other time I\u2019ve tried charging since the update it doesn\u2019t actually charge the phone. The screen says it\u2019s \u201cCharging\u201d, but the light on the chargers I\u2019ve tried does not turn on.<\/p>\n A different user doubled down on the claim and said that Google Support hasn\u2019t been very helpful:<\/p>\n The support specialist I contacted wasn\u2019t very helpful. They want to blame my case (which I had already removed) or my charger (which still works with other phones). It\u2019s obviously an issue with the November update.<\/p>\n Robert Triggs \/ Android Authority<\/p>\n Although not exactly the same, a different user reported experiencing similar wireless charging problems<\/a> after a recent software update. The user reports seeing a \u201cConnected but not charging\u201d status and claims that the same wireless charger worked previously without issues using the same phone.<\/p>\n Repositioning the phone or restarting it \u201csometimes\u201d corrects the issues. The user didn\u2019t explicitly link the problem to the November update, but they did say that \u201crecent updates seem to have broken wireless charging.\u201d Note that there is no concrete evidence linking the bug to the November update, beyond timing and user claims.<\/p>\n![\"PixelSnap](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/PixelSnap-on-Pixel-11-Pro-XL.jpg\"\/ "\\"PixelSnap")
