The wireless charging seems more like a gimmick rather than an actual option for recharging the phone. If I leave the screen on (with a screensaver), the charging process from 70 to 100 will take forever (buh bye bed table clock), and if I use wireless charging on a car craddle (I adapted one), it doesn't supply enough power to even maintain the charge while driving with GPS + 50% Brighness + 4G.
Yes, it discharges while recharging. It's ridiculous!
When I had the G2, I remember few kernels that allowed the user to change the charging current in different scenarios, and one of them was wireless charging. I think it is limited to 1A stock, and the USB charges at 1.8A.
Is it a known issue, or is my G3 problematic? I also feel it takes a long time to recharge even on cable. My G2 used to jump easily to 60% within' minutes, from 15%. G3 seems to sip a lot, and recharges too slow.
--
and on a related note, sometimes when I place the phone on the wireless craddle, it says "Charging wirelessly" or "slow charge, center the phone bla bla bla". But most of the time it doesn't say anything at all, and just charges. Should I consider it slow or normal charging?
---------- After a brief test, it seems that it doesn't report if it's charging slowly or normally, horizontally. Even with screen rotation disabled, it just refuses to report. Weird.
How can I see the charging current? Is it even possible (I used to be able to do so on my Galaxy S3)?
You can use CurrentWidget: Battery Monitor from the play store to look at the charging rate.
I seem to be getting 0.7 Amps with my wireless charger which is just about okay, but yeah it will take time to charge if you have screen powered on.

It says 0mA, wirelessly or cable. What the heck?
So I've been using the wireless fast charger from Samsung and have noticed that my phone gets much hotter than it does with the wall fast adaptive charger plugged in normally. What's worst is that when the phone reaches 100%, it still stays hot. I'm talking hotter than the phone gets if playing a game full brightness for a while. Anyone else have this going on? Is this normal? And if it isn't, would I benefit from a reset or is this a hardware issue and I need to get the phone replaced?
I think that's normal,whenever I used a wireless charger my phone got really hot. Even at 100% ,if its sitting on the wireless charger it will still try and charge it and keep it at 100%(not overcharge) just as if you left it on the cord charger it keeps it at a 100% if you know what I mean
During charge, it's warm to the touch. But, not at 100%.
Make sure you have the the authentic Samsung wireless charger. There are lots of counterfeit out there, that will continue trying to push charges to the phone even at 100%.
I do have an authentic one, from best buy. So it's the wireless charger at fault, not my phone?
Previously coming from S8 & Note 8, while playing power demanding games plugged in it would hold and charges just fine but now it's barely gaining any. It says "fastcharge" but doesn't feel like it at all... anyone having similar issue?
I been on 4% past 30mins or so while playing Lineage 2 Revolution. Sometimes, I would lose 1~2%!
I have the same issue. I am charging S9 via cable with quick charge 3.0 adapter in my car. Some times it charging fast but sometimes it discharging even in idle. I found that it can be related with phone heatup. In sunny weather phone is warm (battery temperature about 40C-42C) and phone not charging. If I put phone in shade then it start charging in 5 minutes
Just put 13 stable on my phone and charging my phone Takes forever I mean it's slow as hell..Wasn't the best on Android 12 but hell on Android 12 it was way faster.. That's the one thing I hate about this phone the battery life sucks an charging the battery is so damn slow..I got all the Adaptive crap turned off.
I'll have to pay more attention to the charging speed on my P6P and let you know what I experience. I try to never use fast charging, never charge overnight, try not to let the battery go below 25% and don't charge past 75%. That 50% range lasts me about 24 hours, but I might use my phone less than you.
I had no complaints about the charging speed on Android 12.
Edit: I'm happy with how much my phone has charged in the last 45 minutes, given that I don't use fast charge methods.
I am having the same issue. Installed 13 stable on my 6 pro. My battery got down to 4% so I plugged it in. I continued to watch YouTube and after an hour it was only up to 8%. Something is def wrong. The battery sucked before but now it's even worse
Updated yesterday and seems ive now got an issue with wireless charging. My phone stopped charging at 81% overnight. Its very intermittent whether it starts charging now on the two wireless chargers i have and seems to stop randomly, not getting to 100%. Charges fine using a cable.
Have the same problem since upgrading to android 13.
According to AccuBattery is the charge current around 900 mA. Way too slow and really annoying!
Didn't have the problem with android 12.
I'm using an Anker Power Port III which can charge with up to 25W. It's the same with other cables and charging devices.
Edit: Attached some screenshots
To clarify one thing for a number of users, you will not get adequate charging speeds without the official charging cable, the 30W Google branded wall brick and good temperature conditions.
The temperature conditions are generally the hardest to control whilst using the device - so I always charge with my phone powered off and have never had an issue. Heck, I generally charge with a 5W wireless pad and it always reaches 100% overnight (usually takes about 5 hours with my minimal wattage charging pad).
*Edit*
In the end - with the official cable usage - my charging speed hasn't changed between A12 and A13.

I think you didn't get my point. I did a comparison between android 12 and android 13. Since the charging speed is reduced dramatically it doesn't matter which cables or charging devices I use unless they are the same.
So we don't discuss absolute charging times here but the fact that by upgrading the OS of our Pixel 6 Pro the charging behaviour changed ceteris paribus.
I charge slowly over night, the charger i use normally charges at 1.5A max, now on A13 it is charging at 800mA
I have ESR magsafe ring. My car charger is working for about 2 minutes and stops. Battery temperature reach 43°C within 2-3 minutes since I upgraded to android 13.
All of the magsafe accessories stopped working. All of the normal QI chargers stopped working. I absolutely hate this phone. First 3 months - no reception in buildings. Still no 5G in my country even with root and signal guru. Now it's not charging wirelessly and only slow charing with cable.
My new guess is it is due to the overheating problem with the update to Android 13.
A lot of people complain about the high temperature. Therefore the phone reduces the charging speed.
Maybe that's also the reason for the problem with the wireless charging. too much heat = no wireless charging. Just guessing...
ATM I rebooted my phone to safe mode. Let's see if this helps.
Somehow I solved the problem. I booted into safe mode. Then I clean the temp files with Google Files. And now my phone is charging with 2mA and above again. Also the temp of the battery is down to 36°. I still think that is the root cause.

Doubt this but I will try it and report back

well we know for one you dont need that
just a cable capable of the current and a charger that hits PPF standards
and even with/without official chargers it will only peak 21w
im using a £5 Gan charger and a USlion 2M long magnetic 60w cable that can do data aswell and it is doing 20w peak for me on A13 which is what it did on A12 aswell. Both which i bought before the official charger came out

Nope, still charging like a piece of [crap, so,] not sure what Google did with A13 , I use official charger for fast charge, considerably slower than on A12
But yeah 3rd party Chinese charge and magnetic cable no issues. Charging issues are not a13 related it will be some defining factor like an app or hardware

I am having the same problem
I updated my pixel 5a to 13 stable. It's charging speed decreased a lot . Firstly it took around 1hr 50 min to get 100 now it's lot
more than 3hr. Gets lot of heating while charging.
Sometime it shows "6 hr to full charge" even at (30-40) battery level, and that's really bad .
After 13 Device is heating ( not just warm) so much even in normal uses (No gaming).
My own testing found out as long as battery reach 41 degree C, the P6P will charge at 3.5W only... (While still displaying fast charging). It you put the phone in front of air conditioner vent to lower the temperature to 25 degrees C, then it charging at full 20W.
The P6P easily get into battery y 41 degrees C by just charging at room temperature higher then 32 degrees C. On A12 its pretty difficult to get this... Somehow A13 drive the CPU while charging which I suspect affect the heat dispatching. I used a charging wire with watterage display so its easily see how P6P limiting the charging wattage with temperature.
It was considerably slower for me too. I was in Spain, coming from UK, so had to use adapter. I thought it's the case, but it has also been something with temperatures, I couldn't backup the pictures because the system showed me it's too hot. I hope that was the issue.
I just swith to Android 13 there are ossue with battery . please fix it .you guys are doing great work
I'd just like to find out if anyone else has found that whilst charging that the watch can become a little hot?
Yes, it gets hot when charging, it's fine after a few minutes tho.
Should be fine
For me the issue was that it got hot and stopped charging. Some other people commented that it depend on power source, if charging of pixel power adaptor or charging from laptop. I didn't test with laptop yet, just limit to short charging so it doesn't get hot, because it will battery if it gets hot too often.
gets nice and warm for me, totally normal for wireless chargers, especially in devices this size. Never got so hot as to be uncomfortable to wear right after charging.
Yeah, charging with for example Samsung 25w charger, watch gets hot after 40% of charging and stopped at 90%, charged with laptop, no issues, not so hot. So it depends on charger.
