Maybe a noob question here, but I was hoping to get wireless charging on my 2XL with a Nilken USB-C adapter. Works great on my N6P, but on the Pixel 2XL I get no charge. It registers as charging, but the battery % never goes up, even after an hour+. Is there an obvious reason why? I can't find any info anywhere.
Suggestions on getting wireless charging working?
Can't wirelessly charge a phone with a metal backing
If you really need wireless charging, there are USB-C pads that you mount inside a case. Check Amazon

That is my point. I bought a Nilken USB-C wireless charging adapter for my Pixel 2 XL. It works on my Nexus 6P fine, but won't charge my 2XL. Seems weird to me.
This is what I'm using:

My Pixel 2 XL will only charge with my old Pixel XL or the new one that was shipped with the phone. Even my car charger won't charge up the new pixel. I get the charging icon in the display but it always stays at the same charge?
Maybe your in the same boat as I am in?
That it will only charge with the Pixel chargers (old or new)?
Anyone else having this issue??
That link is for the short version. I'd think being the XL you'd want the long version.
That would suck. I need to be able to charge the phone while using it for navigation for long-distance road trips.

That's the exact adapter I used for my Pixel XL and my wife's Pixel. We quit using them because quick charging is sooo much faster.

Wow, that sucks! Ive been using my Samsung charger without any issues, and I double checked my off brand car charger and it was working fine. Charging normal as far as I can tell. If you can't charge with normal chargers, might want to RMA...

I tried charging last night with a standard low amp iPhone charger and I didn't get any charge at all, even though the charge light was on. Seems the Pixel 2 XL wont charge with low amp chargers? I was able to charge on a high amp car charger. Try that maybe?
That's what I thought, thankfully I have 2 pixel chargers now, (1 from my old Pixel XL and the new one)
Another note:
Had to RMA my brand new Pixel 2 XL as phone calls could only be heard from the speaker not the earpiece itself. I thought we had fixed this issue previously when I called into Google Support and we wiped the phone thus fixing the no sound issue but I noticed this past Saturday that it came back!
New phone should be here Tuesday or Wednesday.
Don't think the Pixel 2 launch this year was as smooth as Google would have liked!
It charges me with the turbo charger from the N6 as well as 2 port charger I have in my truck. It just says charging, not slowly or rapidly... The 2 port quick charger was for the N6.
A wireless charging coil that works with this phone would be great. I am somewhat invested into qi technology with the cradle in the truck and the stand on the night stand.

Seems like because the qi adapters are not fast charging, and the Pixel 2 doesn't seem to charge at all with low power chargers, wireless charging might not be an option yet. Inwas hoping too! Awesome to just thrown the phone on the cradle at night and no wires to f with. Maybe another battery case manufacturer will make a battery case with wireless charging again.

I have the same wireless add-on and it used to work brilliantly on my OG Pixel, but you are correct - I can't get it to work with my 2 XL. Like yours, it says "charging" but the percentage doesn't move overnight. Interestingly, I don't think it reduces in power either (I haven't been paying close attention, but I'm pretty sure I've woken up to the same % each morning that I fell asleep to). I will try again tonight.
The short vs long version of the hardware are identical except that one is longer for when it's in a case you can center it on a flat qi base, so that won't make a difference.
Very strange. I do have a fast charging wireless charger on order that I will try when it arrives, but I'm not confident it will solve the problem.
I got this one tonight and it seems to work just fine: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B074SHBXC5/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

The Type C Long Version. It should be the last one.

Interesting! I'm gonna try it just in case. Maybe the charging pad makes a difference. Which one are you using?

my charger looks similar. What powder brick are you using? I have a 3 different 2a wireless charging pads, and have been using the Samsung quick charger and still can't get any juice to my Pixel 2XL. I wonder if a USBC to MicroUSB will make a difference? But I don't see why...
So curious why this doesn't work!
I have tried three different wireless charge receivers with my Pixel 2 XL. I get the same issue with each of them.. when trying to charge, the battery indicator drops, not raises. My charger indicates that it is charging, the phone shows charging, but it is draining the battery.
Any thoughts? Has anyone successfully added this functionality to the Pixel 2 XL?

The Pixel doesn't support wireless charging natively. You'd need a new case like a Mophie to do it.
That is why I bought a wireless receiver. Same one I used on my V20. Which worked fine. It provides a charge current to the USB C plug.

Hey,
I have the older version of the iOttie Easy One Touch Wireless Qi Standard Car Mount Charger that I used to charge my Nexus 6 with. I had no luck charging my Pixel 3 XL. I tried various micro usb cords and three different adequate car chargers. Could anyone confirm that this particular wireless mount doesn't supply enough power to charge the Pixel 3 XL?
I will also try an iPhone XS max in a few hours and report if that can charge via this mount.
Thanks :good:
Not sure if it's much help because you've almost certainly already tried but my note 8 wouldn't charge on the thing unless I adjusted the feet exactly right so it was sweet spot to sweet spot when I popped it in;even a small misalignment meant no charging. The 3 XL isn't here yet to test. One other thing, it was charging very slowly there, I'm doubtful it would have kept up while running maps and that kind of thing.

Yeah I tried adjusting it for maybe ten minutes on both my Pixel 3 XL and iPhone S Max without either charging at all..
Sorry man, not good news for me either because I'll likely see the same result.
When I got my Pixel 2 XL all my cable were not good enough and the phone would say Charging Slowly and not charge. Now with the Pixel 3 XL again my new cables are not good enough and it says Charging Slowly and it don’t charge. Overnight it did not charge. The same cable in the Pixel 2 XL did say Charging Slowly but went from 70-ish% to full in about an hour. What the heck man?
Have you tried using the charger and cable that came in the box with the phone? If you're using 3rd party cables I would try the OEM that shipped with the device to determine if it's a hardware issue or not.
Hi folks something very odd happened yesterday and I'd love your views please.
I have a Pixel 2 XL that recently stopped charging overnight and turned itself off. It was plugged into non official fast charger from Amazon I'll call "charger 1". I turned it back on and it still refused to charge.
I then tried another charger (charger 2) and it also didn't charge. I then even plugged it into a laptop and Windows said there was a power surge and wasn't going to charge it.
I had also noticed an electrical smell and the phone getting hot when it was plugged in and not charging.
I am going to return it to Google but as I need a phone for my business I went out and bought a brand new Pixel 3a XL.
Now here is the strange thing. The official charger that came with my Pixel 3a XL charges my old Pixel 2 XL and also now the two chargers I used yesterday (charger 1 and 2) don't charge either phone...
It seems a remarkable coincidence both chargers 1 and 2 broke at the same time. Could my Pixel 2 XL somehow be responsible for breaking chargers? If so, then why didn't it break the charger that came with my Pixel 3a XL?
Now I don't think I can return the Pixel 2 XL to Google.
Any help appreciated! Thanks
If the charge port on the phone had a short in it, then yes you can possibly be trashing chargers.
