I have purchased two USB Type-C wireless charging receivers for use with a Pixel 4a and neither have worked. Both are recognised by the charging pads as the LED on the pad illuminates to show there is a device, however the phone shows no indication that it is charging. I have tried the receivers on a Pixel 4XL as well and its the same behaviour. I have also tried three different charging pads.
Both receivers are the generic black ones you see advertised on popular auction sites.
I could be unlucky and both are faulty, however I am wondering whether it is some incompatibility issue? Seems unlikely as its just delivering power isn't it?
Has anyone managed to find a wireless charging receiver that works with the Pixel 4a?
well the 4a doesnt have wireless charging should work with ur 4 but none of pixel A models have wireless charging
I understand the 4a doesn't have integrated wireless charging. I am talking about the Wireless charging adapters that will fit inside a case - see the picture I posted.
This is the one I got from Amazon. It fits just below the fingerprint reader and works with all the of the cases I have. It also works with all four of the charging stations I have. The biggest issue is finding the sweet spot where it not only charge, but charges fast.

I've just purchased another of these. This one was a bit more expensive and has a slightly different shaped connector and is gold in colour, however I get the same behaviour. Same on the Pixel 4XL as well.
I can't have purchased 3 faulty ones.... There is obviously something fundamental here.
I got a Pixel 3a incredibly cheap yesterday that I'll keep as a spare for my 4XL.
Like the 4a, the 3a doesn't have wireless charging so I tried the wireless charging adapters I got for the 4a on it and they both work fine.
Both are configured the same in the Battery settings with 'Show battery percentage disabled, however when the lock screen is displayed and they are placed on the wireless charging pad the percentage shows (the same as when you connect a USB C cable to either a PC or a charger). Remove from the pad and the percentage is not displayed. The 3a charges with the adapter, the 4a doesn't, however they both obviously 'see' that a charging device is connected.
Correct. No wireless charging support on the Pixel 4A. Pixel 5 comes with wireless charging, but the Pixel 4a 5G and the Pixel 4a do not.
Hey @ADB100 any working solution? I am trying to get a working one for my dads phone and no luck

No, sorry. I have three of these wireless charging receivers and none of them work with the 4a. It obviously recognises something, however none work.

Hey guys! Bought the official samsung charging pad today, for novelty factor more so then anything else if im honest! It was €55 to buy online here in Ireland (which is crazy money) but i got it along with a case for only €40 as part of a deal so i thought why the hell not. It came without a cable so naturally i assume i must use the fast charge cable with it? Here are a few questions i have.........
If using the fast charging cable with it , does that mean i will be getting fast charging capabilities from it? (iam assuming not)
If its generally not a good idea to use fast charge plugged in over night then does this apply to the wireless pad in conjunction with the fast charger?
And lastly. Can i run the cable from the usb port on my computer or does it have to be plugged in to a socket when using the wireless pad? The answers may seem obvious but just asking none the less! Not taking any chances with this baby ha
I have four of them. Two of the small rectangular ones from last year, and two of the newer round ones from this year, so I'll take a stab at your questions.
If using the fast charging cable with it , does that mean i will be getting fast charging capabilities from it? (iam assuming not)
I have not seen, nor did I expect to see, any difference using a fast-charger vs. standard. As such, I only use standard charger adapters for wireless duty.
If its generally not a good idea to use fast charge plugged in over night then does this apply to the wireless pad in conjunction with the fast charger?
My S6 Edge stops charging while on either version of the wireless charging pad, once it reaches 100%. The light on the (newer, round) pad goes from blue to green once it has reached this point.
And lastly. Can i run the cable from the usb port on my computer or does it have to be plugged in to a socket when using the wireless pad? The answers may seem obvious but just asking none the less! Not taking any chances with this baby ha
Unless your PC can source 2A from the USB port, then, no, you cannot use your PC USB port to power the wireless charging pad.
Any idea where i could get a longer geniune samsung charging cable so? I bought the wireless pad for use at a desk but the cable on the fast charger is too small to reach from the socket to the desk! I would need the cable to be at least another foot or two longer
Questions belong in Q&A, not General.
Thank you.
I have a question I'd like to add!
I've never used wireless charging before, can you use it on the s6 edge with a case on the phone? Does this impede the wireless charging? Thanks!

Impede? Yes.
Any distance between the surface of the charging-pad and the back of your phone will impact the wireless inductive charging. The less, the better.
Also, obviously, any case that includes conductive materials will be a non-starter.
That said, my Speck case and my wife's (brand unknown at this moment) case work satisfactorily with both the Samsung round and rectangular charging pads. I have read that there are people that have had poor wireless charging experiences with some (probably thicker, more rugged) cases.
Searching should find the specifics.
Would just like to share with everyone a good quality and very useful tool I've recently got hold of.
I've had and used a few different Choetech products and the quality is always amazing, the presentation when the products are delivered gives them a premium feel even though they are quite a reasonable priced product. I would say the quality rivals that of anker and aukey.
The cable itself works with any USB A charger and any device with a micro USB port, a USB A-C cable is also available for those who have a USB C device. The cable is just plug and play, once u connect to a charger the display lights up and when the device is connected you get readings.
I tried this cable with a few different devices and chargers but I found it especially useful for testing how good the fast charge chargers we're when using a galaxy s7, even though the s7 shows fast charging I found different chargers would give me more current at 9v.
For anyone interested in a good quality charging cable that is also interested in seeing just how good there chargers are this is a perfect product. I've also used the cable to transfer data to and from my phone as I wondered if this would be effected and I'm happy to say it wasn't.
For anyone in the UK interested I've got discount codes that are valid till the 31st of jan that make these or the USB C version £6 each. Hope someone finds these useful.

They do now!~
I just ordered and received one of these things to finally have one for monitoring. This thing was great and has actually taught me a few things i didn't already know. For one, I didn't realize that fast charging stopped the second I turned on the screen of the phone! That's right these phones jump back to regular 5volt charging when the screen is on. The second the screen goes off it's back to 9 volts.. Good to know when you are trying to maximize the charge rate. Anyways.. i digress.
So far this puppy has been accurate. I have used it on my S7 Edge as well as my htc 10 with a choetech micro to C adaptor. I am able to monitor and track the various stages of quick charging without disturbing the phone's charging. This cable seems to be well made and doesn't seem to be cheap. The display is solid and bright.
I attached some extra pics showing the display toggling between charging current and voltage. If you are looking for a simple USB current monitor with some forward capability I would recommend taking a look at this one.
For $16.99 shipped on Amazon Prime it's not a bad deal

Hey all,
So I read these forums for a bit, and I saw that the LG V30 can do "fast wireless charging" with a 15W wireless charging dock. Immediately I bought this bad boy:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07HD38582/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1
And it doesn't seem to work. It will blink red, then blue, charge for about a second, and then blink red again. Doesn't seem to matter if it's my case or not.
I'm on the Pixel Dust rom, using the latest vendor from LOS 15.1.
Any way I could test this?
It works fine on LG Stock ROMs for you, right ?

I found out the problem was a ****ty product. I plugged it into my wall adapter and usb cable and it worked just fine, though much slower than they were advertising.
Does anyone have any measurements in Accubattery for a "15W" wireless charge?
Edit: After reading these forums for about an hour, I've come across the truth to wireless charging on this device:
-This phone is capable of 15w wireless charging, however it heats up too much and instantly throttles to 5w (or lower)
-The Anker Powerwave has a max of 10w, but with the internal fan actually charges faster than "15W" chargers
Truly weird. Anyway, anyone searching, that's the truth as of 21NOV2018
Does anyone have tried the reverse wireless charging feature?
I have bought the Jabra Elite 75t Wireless earbuds and the case is Qi Wireless Charging compatible and when I try to charge using the MI 10 reverse wireless charging it gives an error and disables the reverse wireless charge.
Do I have some problem with smartphone or the earbuds, or I'm doing something wrong?
What kind of error it gives? Did you try factory reseting?
"Turned off reverse wireless charging. An error occurred during charging"
Factory resetting?
Why?
I bought my Xiaomi Mi 10 less than a month, and my Jabra Elite 75t yesterday, and you think it needs to be reseted?
I have an old 5W Qi Wireless Charger and both charges with it, so, don't know what causes this error.

HI. Did you menaged to solve this problem? I just bought 3 days ago my Mi 10 and the same error happens with my Airfun Air earbuds , which is also wireless charge capable.
Remove the case from the phone and try again. For phone to phone you have to remove the cases from both phones. The transmission is extremely weak.

Same with my Mi 11 Ultra... Stoops the reverse wireless charging after 2-5 minutes.
Seems like i am not the only one. I cannot seem to charge my Redmi Buds 3 Pro with my Mi 10 as well. And not even with the latest update. Is it a hardware issue?
Same issue here with Mi10, tried different ROMs / Firmwares but nothing helped.
Wireless charging isn't working either. Phone says it's charging, but it's draining battery. Maybe I bricked the Qi panel when changing the display.
I'll get a new one and see if this is fixing the issue.
Now I've changed the qi-charging/nfc panel, but still wireless charging is draining battery.
Weird thing is, that Ampere says it charges with 300-500mA but battery is going down.

The Qi charger you're using doesn't supply enough power. You need to use the proper XIAOMI Wireless Charging Stand to get the proper performance. These phones need upward of 33w to charge properly through wireless. The proper Xiaomi stand is 55w output.

Now I bought a new wireless charger from Xiaomi, same issue.
Mi old Mi Mix2s charges without problems.
Is it possible, that I've messed something up while I've changed my display to Chinese version (Huaxing) with a conversion board?
If you don't have a case on the phone and still get nothing then there's a problem somewhere.
Hi, sorry to reopen this but better than creating a new thread for the same issue.
I have updated to miui 14 on my 11 Ultra but wireless charging stays on for a couple of minutes and then turns itself off. I have tried:
- no cover on the MI or on the device I'm charging
- battery >70% tried both plugged in and plugged out
"An error occurred during charging. Reverse wireless charging is turned off now"
Anyone has managed to solve this?
Thanks

Same question for Mi12 Pro: anyone?
I am trying to charge my LG v60 tmobile in my 2021 Prius prime. it has magnetic charging pad. the phone start charging but then the charger start flashing light in few seconds that phone is not charged. no matter how many time you tried it wont charge. I remove the cover and try every other way to charge but it wont charge.
took it to Toyota they tested and finally said its your phone the charging pad is fine.
anyone experiencing the same or have any idea please share. thank you
In my experience, this phone is picky about chargers - both wired and Qi. I found a great holder & wireless charger similar to this one, then paired it with a high-power 12v adapter. Unfortunately, neither of these are available any more. But you should be able to find similar products that, when combined, will give your V60 enough juice. I can't recall at the moment, but it may also be high-speed wireless charging -- something even harder to do with this phone.
You could also try removing your phone from the case if it's in one. A bare phone will get it into closer proximity with the charging coils.
I don't know how the magnetic charging pad is wired in your car, but perhaps there's a way to get it connected to a higher output 12v circuit. Check YouTube or the car forums, etc.

It charges at home with qi charger and wired both ways.
pits the car pad that stops charging.
I have tried everything with and without case the result is same.
toyota said the car pad gives as much juice it wants it’s interactive. But it’s your phone not syncing with pad.

Not syncing doesn't seem like much of an answer, and doesn't explain why it's not charging. Did you check the car forums?
