Android 10 Charging issue - Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers

Hey, so i just received the android 10 update. I was already running the android 10 beta for some time now. After the update, my wall charger (Tronsmart, type C with PD) stopped working. I was able to rapid charge my pixel with the same charger earlier, but now it simply stopped charging. I used 3 different type C to type C cables with that power brick, but pixel doesnt get charged whatsoever. I tried using some cables that i had lying around, which are not really the top of the line kind of things but still usually get the job done. These are usb C to A cables that I have used previously with my pixel. However, after the update, the phone shuts down within a couple of minutes, if i connect any of those cables. I searched around and some people have had the same issue after android 9 beta update. Using an old toothbrush, i gently cleaned the charging port, but nothing changed. Right now, i am finally able to charge phone with my PC using an old type C to A cable that shipped with my old HTC 10. However, my computer says usb device not recognized and as you`d expect, its charging pretty slowly. I even tried resetting the phone but the problem
Any ideas as to what might have caused this? Any help in this regard is greatly appreciated.
TIA

My wife noticed the same thing on her 3a since the update

I also experienced the same problem since i upgraded to android 10. Been roaming google for possible solution, found nothing so far except rolling back to android 9 or wait for an update to fix this bug.
I charges my phone with a usb a to c cable using a power delivery compatible brick (18w, 3A), it is able to fast charge my pixel.

I had to RMA my first phone due to this issue. If you google search pixel 2 xl charging issues you'll find many people who have run into this issue. All of them pretty much end with "RMA phone".
It started out my third-party charger would reboot my phone the moment it was plugged in. My original charger stopped charging the phone soon after.
My computer would only sometimes (1 out of 15 - 20 tries) read my phone so I could unroot it. All of the other times it would pop up as unrecognized.

This is typically due to a hardware issue (loose/damaged port circuitry because of bad quality components or soldering). It gets worst and worst 'til nothing works and phone reboots when you connect the cable... and RMA is the only solution.
IMHO, mainstream usb-c operating amperage is too hard on the ports, specially due to heating. I would prefer to have a not so fast charging technology that would not damage the phones. And yes, this happens on many usb-c phones, not only Pixels.
But hey, maybe you have a different problem related to software

My phone is powering down sometimes,when i plug the charging cable.This happend after android Q update.

Rotating the USB-C cable helps. One orientation (no charging / or slow charging at best) the other orientation rapid charging.

Sadly it appears a number of our phones appear to be having charge port issues as they age...

Not sure if it's because I recently flashed the latest 10 factory image (2 days ago) but my device charges on all the cables, chargers and on the PC as it did prior to flashing the 10 factory image, I even get the charging rapidly notification...
Did this happen immediately to those who are experiencing it? Or did it happen after some time on 10?

Well, glad I came across this thread. I've been having troubles with charging in the last few days also.
TL;DR: Starting this past Sunday, my chargers would report "charging slowly" and not really charge the phone, whether in normal mode, safe mode, or off. Updated to 10 on release day. They all magically started working last night.
Story version: Woke up Sunday and pulled my Pixel 2 XL off the charger to find it at the same percentage battery was when I plugged it in. When I plugged it back in, it reported charging slowly. It's plugged into an Anker USB C to A, and the Anker IQ two port charger. My Wife's PIxel 2 was plugged into the other port, with another of the same cable. It was charging fine. I unplugged hers and plugged mine in, reported charging slowly. I grabbed my Anker battery pack, and used the included USB C to A cable that I've used before, got "charging slowly." I rebooted the phone and got the same results. I powered it down and left it charging, same results. I tried safe mode, same thing. All these chargers/cables/battery packs work perfectly fine on my Wife's Pixel 2.
I was in the car and tried my cable/adapter in there. That one worked. I have a CableMatters 2.0 amp lighter adapter and an Anker braided USB C to A cable. I brought the cable and phone in the house, and tried the cable with my existing Anker 2 port wall charger and it worked. Weird why it would work for my Wife's but not mine, but oh well, at least I could charge the phone. Later on, I took the car cable and connected to the battery pack, charging slowly. I brought it back to the Anker wall charger, charging slowly. Tried my laptop and PC USB 3.0 ports, charging slowly. I brought the car cable and the house cable back to the car, and both cables worked just fine in the car. So, at this point, it doesn't appear to be a cable issue, but something intermittent with my chargers.
I dug up a Monoprice USB A charger I had, that has a 2.0 amp port. Tried that last night, and every cable I have charged normally with it. Just to further test, I then took the cables back to the Anker wall charger, and it worked also. To make it more frustrating, the Anker battery pack also started playing nicely and charging. I feel like it's a software issue with the phone, but I have no viable proof of it. I upgraded to 10 on launch day and have had no issues since. The only other thing I did was install Accubattery after I had an idea to try and monitor charging rates.

I did the October 2019 update and noticed this morning zero charging over night. I use an Anker multi-port brick with 2-ports fast charging. Thanks for the Accubattery idea. It shows 1 Amp charging off the 2.4 amp port. I may have to roll back the October update if I can.
I have noticed over the last few months that the screen uses a huge amount of battery. I can see the percentage drop as I scroll through the news.

Guysss I found the solution ! I had the same problem but this easy fix helped me ! Hope it's gonna work for you.
First you have to drain your battery to 1 or 2 %
Second step, hard reboot your phone (long press lock for 10 s)
As it's without battery it won't reboot but it will show the low battery sign.
Plug in your fast charger and it will show the sign that it's charging, wait a few seconds, boot your phone without unplugging the cable. And that's it. It should work.
I can't believe in so happy it got fixed for me I was suffering for two weeks after the update and no response from Google. The firs time in long time I see 70%>>>

Update : if you don't want to wait for your battery to drain, you can do this instead.
Long press volume down and power for 10 sec.
It will take a screen shot (normal) but wait for the 10 sec.
You will have a menu, choose using the volume up and down to navigate "power off" ( by default it will be power on).
Plug your fast charger and it should start charging

ive tried doing the second option and i never get a menu, it just straight up reboots.
my problem seems to be similar to those stated here before. i cant use my original charger that came with my pixel.
i can use the usb c port on this (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0778JNN4B/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1) with any of the cables i have. none of the cables will allow me to use the original charge brick anymore. i can use the only usb c -> a cable that i have. (its the standard one that comes with the nintendo switch pro controller) i even tested with the nintendo switch dock cable and it seems to work fine. i am outside of warranty so i cant have google fix it any longer(literally started issues 20 days after my warranty ended...). im gonna try draining it down till it dies and try my original charger again to see if it will do it but i was wondering if anyone else has come up with any other solutions to this problem. im thinking about reflashing it to see if that will do it and if that doesnt maybe go to a custom rom to test that even just wondering if anyone else has tried these options so i can have an idea if its gonna possibly work for me or not

hi man.
So weird you couldn't get that menu, try holding for 20 seconds instead of 10 seconds. It should work keep doing it until the phone goes off completely.
Trust me I did it again and it worked. Every time fast charging stops working I do this trick and it works.

idk, i have tried holding it even past the point of it turning off and still no menu, but i finally got it to die completely and it still didnt seem to be working on the chargers i was having issues with, after going for a ride in my car and using AA oddly enough it seems to be working fine, no idea.

Try holding the UP volume button and power.
Mine just started doing this, I left it plugged into the plane the whole trip flying overseas. (Probably shouldn't have done that)

[Q] Gnex doesn't recognize I'm trying to charge it

Not sure if anybody has seen this problem when I plug in my phone to charge it doesn't always (once every 2 or 3 days) recognize that I'm charging it. When I shut the phone down it does recognize the charge and can then reboot and it'll continue charging. However if I reboot without plugging the phone into the wall briefly, then it'll continue not realizing that I'm trying to charge it.
This has been going on for about two weeks now (I've had the phone for about a month and a half). The phone is rooted, but otherwise it is stock. I do two small but noticeable scratches in the plastic, so I don't know if verizon will let me get an exchange.
Anyway my question is has anybody seen this before? I found a couple threads on the reverse condition (phone thinks its charging when its not), but nothing on this condition.
What cord are you using to charge it and what is the amps on the little power unit? I was having some trouble on the plug that negri gave me and I use my old HTC 1 amp plug with my new Sammy cord.
A. Try a difft power unit
B. Try a difft cord

It's probably the charger. One of my car chargers will do that. Also, this doesn't sound like the case, but be aware that your phone won't charge if it's extremely hot.
Probably the faulty usb port issue. It is no way to fix it without changing the port.
Happened to me once. What fixed it was taking out the battery for 5 min, then replace it, and power up. Someone else was having the problem and another person suggested the long battery pull. Worked for both of us.
I'll try the long pull and report back.
I use three different chargers. The factory samsung charger, a Seido Docking Station (powered by a generic USB charger), and a generic USB cable for charging from my computer. Condition has been present on all three.
Is it recognized by your computer? If not, the USB port is probably the issue. If it is, then the battery pull may fix it. If that doesn't, make a Nandroid and do a full system wipe and see if that helps. Have you installed any apps around the time you noticed the issue? If so, uninstall that app, reboot and see if that solves the issue.
Example, I had TweetDeck kill my GPS once. Literally, I used navigation, got where I was going, remembered I hadn't installed TweetDeck, installed it, tried using navigation and it was busted, uninstalled TweetDeck and Navigation worked fine. I rebooted, reinstalled TweetDeck and all was good. Quirky things happen sometime.
any news on this? my usb port has recently stopped working but it still charges

Have had a charging issue as well, and solved it.
Hey there,
my SGN was not charging at all not even when turned off, started two days ago, the first evening it was only charging on one out of my three USB cables (each cable has its own wall charger).
Also my PC with "Win 8 Pro" was not recognizing my phone at all.
My first try was a bit stupid, but it worked, well for one day only. I bite on the USB cable, so the part that goes in the phone was a bit deformed, and the SGN was charging again. \o/
Next evening, I had the same problem again, but this time, non of my three cables was able to charge, even after further deforming tries.
My final solution was to use a needle, stick it in the USB port on the phone and bend the small "tongue" a bit up, so it was exactly in the middle.
My Phone was off and the battery removed. I put all together again and plugged the USB cable back in, it started charging while off.
Then I just turned it on, after booting was almost done, my PC told me that my SGN is connected and it was still charging.
I removed the cable, plugged it back in, several times, also on all three charger with its cables, finally my problem seems to be resolved.
btw. My SGN is from November 2011, so one of the first here in Europe.
I hope this can help some other with the same problem.

I had the same problem, GNex quit charging. Fixed it by using a toothpick to gently move the "tongue" in the USB port up towards the LED (screen side). I used a wooden toothpick as I didn't know what would happen if the connectors shorted using something metal.
Apparently, moving the USB plug around when it is in the port can move things out of alignment. Very easy fix, takes less than one minute. You could use a plastic pen cap or whatever you have lying around as a tool.
If you are under warranty, you could always ask for a replacement.
I had this problem a while back, first only some chargers would work and finally none of my chargers worked. In my case it seems like the problem was pocket lint tightly packed at the back of the usb port. The lint was grey and so tightly packed that I couldn't see any thing wrong. I used a fine tooth pick and got a good size wad out and the charging problem was solved. I always thought that the lint prevented the usb cable to be fully seated but maybe I bent the "lip" while trying to get the lint out

Well, I've left my phone on charge with the adapter charger and it was recharged. Now it seems to work also through usb
I got a new Gnex today because of this same issue. It would randomly not charge no matter what charger is was using. What's weird though is I never had an issue transferring files to my Mac and vice versa.

had the same issue, was charging only on PC-USB, I used a safety pin and removed a lot of lint. Works fine now.

Thought that was lint but in my case even removing the lint it wont charge CORRECTLY -- with the original charger (it was uncharging after some movement).
Then I realize that forcing the usb plug to go more inside the USB port it works. What I did: Removed the black protection because it block the plug to go more inside the phone port. It's now metalic (lol) but not a problem of charging anymore.
I'd buy some heat shrink tubing for that before you cause a fire .

Sometimes it happens to me when battery's charged at 98-99%. Don't know the reason, and what I can do is to remove cable, reconnect it

Unfortunately, all that really does is shorten the battery's life. There is no benefit to forcing it to that feel good display of 100%.

Here's my full experience with my Galaxy Nexus charging problem --
I bought this one eBay, came with 4.1.2. Didn't even test charging before I updated it to stock 4.2.2 and rooted it, so I'm not sure if the problem developed after my software update, or if it always had that problem. The eBayer said he didn't know anything about it. I'm on stock rooted 4.3 now, and the problem persists.
The phone has never charged on any of the several AC adapters I've tried. These have been between 250ma and 1A, and they wouldn't work whether the phone was on or off. It would consistently charge when connected to my desktop computer, but that all changed a few weeks ago when I changed out my computer's power supply. Now, the only one trick I've found is to turn on WiFi, BT, GPS, and put the screen at 100% brightness, then plug connect my computer's USB cable, and it will go into charging mode about 35-50% of the time. This works OK, but one extra annoying bit is that when the battery reaches 100%, it stops charging, and won't start again until I do my little trick and replug the USB.
I tried replacing the USB port, but that didn't fix anything. As far as I can tell, that's the only part that can be easily replaced by a normal person. I'm basically managing this by swapping in batteries charged by an external charger.
Got major issue all of sudden and phone won't start anymore
I have been tweaking with my phone customizing it for like one year and didn't had any problem. I flashed with KitKat gummy ROM and then reverted back to 4.3 stock jellybean using ROM manager installed previous saved 4.3 stock rooted ROM.
Further installed clean master and did some advanced cleaning of cache files. WELL after reverting back I started witnessing some major flaws with battery charging status earlier with KitKat I wasn't using any battery saver app but after reverting back to 4.3 I installed DU battery saver and it would like take ages to charge my battery like 7-8 hrs but I wasn't paying much attention to this. I did some advanced cleaning with clean master, but anyways that won't clean any system files that would hinder the functionality of phone right?Problem started cropping up as I detached my power cable without switching off the supply ( even though I had done this previously many times before) , phone flickered/froze and switched off and won't start without external power supply even though i had 57% battery charge that too showed random status, sometimes 0% and sometimes 50+ %. This went looping for sometime then like it won't switch on even with power supply, just showing for a sec the battery symbol with bolt sign when the charging cable is inserted and going blank within 5 sec . It would show the battery icon sometimes and sometimes no sign just plain blank..
Well I tried different ways as suggested like pushing the small tongue inside USB to middle or attaching to laptop w/o battery and putting back n starting but all in vain, no response.
I am not sure any major fault has cropped in the charging circuit or is the phone bricked? Battery dead?
Guys do give some suggestions.. I have been charging using diff usb cables, no response but just that battery symbol for 5sec n going blank..even though i have been charging the phone is getting heated..but does that imply anything?
do provide some insights guys
Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the awesome solution. It worked for me before a week. I faced the same problem and now this trick is not working for me ;(. Please help me out.

Battery not charging past random, arbitrary level sometimes

The last three mornings I've gotten up and grabbed my phone to find it not fully charged (46%, 71%, and 56%).
Each time the phone said it was charging on the lock screen but would never go higher than whatever it was stuck on.
I tried pulling it off the charger and plugging it back in again, but still it would not charge past some seemingly random and arbitrary value.
Rebooting the phone fixed the issue each time.
wtf? I don't really expect anybody to have any advice for me but still, wtf?
Going to try to get the phone replaced at Costco as I bought it less than 90 days ago.
Has anybody seen anything like this before?
I know that some samsung phone that i owned would have a protection against overcharge. It simply stop charging when it reach 100% and it still show as charging. However, stop charging at 56% never saw that.
Actually this happened to me the first time and only time a couple nights ago.. was sure that the phone was plugged in and charging but woke up and it was at 46% for some reason.
I've since rebooted and haven't had any trouble since so just figured its a one off.. but if its happened to you a couple times I would suspect maybe a problem with the cable or power plug adapter..
Don't know that any rooting or unlocking would be the cause.. (I am rooted)
My wife also has an Optimus G and we switched chargers/cords but I still have the issue.
I can't see how rooting could cause this problem.
Anyway, I'll try to get my device replaced. Thanks for the replies.

I am experiencing the same thing. It has happened 3x since I got the LGOG back in December. The previous times I thought I didn't have it plugged in correctly. Today I woke up after leaving the phone charged for 6 hours and it was at 23%. I rebooted the phone which I have done in the past and it would start charging, but today it didn't want to charge at all. The charging icon was on but the battery was discharging.
So I decided to cover the basics by swapping out the micro-usb cable with an old blackberry micro usb cable and it ended up charging normally again. The last 10% charge I used the LG micro usb cable again and it was able to charge normally.
Not sure if its the micro usb cable or the LG power adapter or may be the phone.
Any thoughts folks?
Again I have a feeling it could be the cable or power plug being used.. especially if you were able to plug in another cable and it worked ok..

Coincidentally, I also did some experimentation today with various chargers and cables and found my problem was specific to the cable that came with my optimus g.
Using the offending cable, I replicated the charging problem on my wife's optimus g using both the optimus g charger and my i9000 charger (thus ruling out the actual charger).
Such a strange problem though, the cable functions normally when transferring files or using adb shell, and seems to be able to charge my i9000 just fine.
Today I was able to fully charge my phone with the LG micro usb cable and adapter. No problems.
May be a phone problem? Its not consistent though.
This happened to me again last night. Starting my day with 10% battery :/
I am going to grab a different cable and see what happens.

I haven't had the problem since I replaced the cable. Before replacing the cable it happened every night and a few times during the day whenever I charged. I'm convinced the cable was the culprit.
I am seeing the same problem. My phone will only charge to arbitrary levels then stop. It's not a cable issue as it has done this with three other cables. Sometimes it just takes unplugging and plugging it back in. Other times I have to shut my phone off for it to charge. It also works to switch chargers (even though I have replicated the problem on all chargers) or do a reboot.

My problem has returned with a new cable, but not as frequently. I don't know. It only happens once in maybe 30 charges.
I know i'm bringing this thread back from the dead. Anyone get anywhere with this? Has anyone had any long term problems with the battery or charging?

I'm having this problem as well... Running Rootbox rom... phone gets plugged in, the battery icon starts flashing... but in settings it shows as "not charging" or even at times shows as "usb charging" ....
I'm going spare and crazy ... not sure if its a rom issue or if its a hardware defect ...
first thing to try in this case is a new cable if you have not already done so.. once I started using a store bought usb cable for it, I've had zero problems with charging.

Strange charge issue anyone had this happen yet?

Not sure if was just a bug, but last night I put my phone on charge before bed and battery was at 25% I woke up in the morning to my suprise battery was only at 27%, I unplugged USB and re-plugged in again and it charged like normal.
Well, I had the same issue when I woke up this morning except in my case, the power brick has died completely and I am trying to determine if the battery has as well...
It does say it's charging on the lock screen when I connect it to a computer but in 10 minutes I haven't seen the percentage go up
FYI I have charged the device overnight only 9 times since I got it, GREAT JOB HTC !

Did you have ultra battery saving mode enabled to turn on automatically? Last time I had this enabled my phone wouldn't charge on a stock rom and stock charger. It only happened in 24 hour span, and there were times during that time when I plugged it in and wouldn't charge. I was on the latest update and after I disabled ultra battery saving mode I never had any charging problems
Nope all berry saving modes was off. It charged fine last night from 40%
I going to try run battery down today and see. Very strange

I can hear some noise coming from the charger while it's working louder than the M9's charger and a sound whenever I disconnect the charging cable from the port, like if something was a little loose. Are those normal things?
I recently had this issue too on a totally stock Verizon phone. Phone wouldn't charge until a reboot.

I assume you guys are all using stock charger and cable to charge? I think QC 3.0 can be picky about the cable used. Haven't had any issues with the 10, but previous phone was a lumia 950xl. It was only QC 2.0, I used a third party cable with it, had a lot of bother, then used stock cable and everything worked perfectly.
I had this happening once and the issue was for some reason the cable wasn't plugged to the wall adapter properly. I removed it and plugged it and it started working. I don't think it's something to get worried about.
Not sure about the noise though

That's normal. It's a switching-mode power supply (SMPS for short) and there's some coil whining in there. Quite literally business as usual.
Not sure if there has been any update on this, but I'm experiencing the same issue as well. I have a stock charger + stock cable as well as two Anker chargers (both QC3, one wall and one car charger) and I use iOrange-E cables (56k ohm) with the Ankers. I only have this problem with the stock cable and stock charger, the 3rd party chargers haven't had any issues yet. I will plug the phone in for the night and a majority of the time (it's happened 5 or so times in the past week) it will charge for about 10 minutes or less before it just stops charging. It acts like it's been unplugged entirely. I have to unplug and replug the charger to the wall a couple of times before it will start charging again. It will again only charge for a short period of time before it stops and repeats this. Since it's only happening with the one charger I'm left to believe that maybe the charger is just faulty. Anyone else still having this problem or has come to the same conclusion?
Yes!!! I've had this issue with the stock charger as well... very weird. Just doesn't charge and have to unplug it multiple times to get it to work
I also have an anker wall and car charger along with an anker cable... they work fine
Verizon stock phone... hasn't happened since ota

Well I just experienced the same I guess ..
The cable is still okay if I plug into a different charging head/block it charges but it does not with the original head... Its weird... Not even after restarts and so

Started having the issue a few days ago. Phone will not charge until I plug it in and then reboot it. Doesn't matter what cable, charger, etc... I use, and yes I have tried them all. Stock, anker, qc 3 certified, non certified, doesn't matter. It behaves the same no matter what. Even went back to stock rom and same issue. Tried a couple of different kernels too.

This now the only way my phone will charge. I have probably ordered 3 sets of QC 3 certified chargers(car and wall), the stock one that came with the phone, probably 20 different cables, even some being micro USB with adapters, flashed all the way back to stock unrooted, wiped sd card, formatted data, tried several different kernals and roms. The only thing I have not done is go back S-On for completely out of the box stock, just dont feel it would make a difference at this point. Did yours simply just start working again dottat?

Cant charge now....

Got down to around 15% and then plugged in. Noticed level continued to drop. Opened battery page and see this:
Plugged in, Can't charge now.
Did a restart and same thing. If I flip the USB connector 180degrees, it charges. Swapped ends with the wall part of charger. Same thing....only charges with one side of usbb cable pointed up.
What up?

Sounds like a bad port, or cable. If another charger or cable doesn't work, RMA that puppy. Of course, Google support will tell you to do a factory reset first. So be ready ?

On 30 minute hold now.
Flipping the end on the wall doesn't matter. Flipping the cable around doesn't matter. Whichever end is plugged into the phone only works on one side. Weird....I thought they were the same.
No spare USB C cables. May be able to test with an A to C in a few minutes...

Mine was taking 8 hours to charge. Wouldn't charge if on, just couldn't keep up. Rma'd it. Told the guy I'd already tried the usual stuff. He said ok and authorized a new one. Took like 3 minutes.

But did you have a "can't charge right now" message showing up? I've never seen that.
Troubleshooting per Google...
Tried full off instead of restart
Tried safe mode
Same behavior.
I have tested with factory A to C cable and iPad brick.

Send it back bruh! :good:
.. previous post truncated. Copy paste always does that in xda app?
I have tested with factory A to C cable and iPad brick. Seems to work fine either way I flip the cable. But I do notice the above msg for a half second when first plugging in, then switches to charging.
With my stock charger, phone does the same with one orientation (brief msg and then charging)....but NOT fast charging.
With the other C cable orientation, it cycles several times between not connected at all and then stays on msg above.
All for now.
Would like to test with a different USB C cables....but not available now.
Is it normal when plugging in, to momentarily flash that can't charging msg? Never noticed it before, but wasn't looking
I was wrong about charging rapidly. On the lock screen, using the orientation that works, it does show charging rapidly.
BUT Ampere app (which measures charging current) only registers about 1mA.
Thanks

1) Yes you're right. It does momentarily flash "can't charge right now" for me. Literally a split second flash. Wouldn't see it unless you were looking for it.
2) You really can't trust apps for measuring charging current. It's especially inaccurate when the screen is off which you need to do to check it. If anything, it would close to accurate if you had your screen off for 5-10 minutes then checked it quickly before it throttles the charging down. Only way for an accurate measurement is a is a power meter like this:

Thanks....
True, charging current with Ampere is less than accurate with screen on. Accubattery however will calculate charging with screen off. Would be interesting to see how that compares to the USB meter.
Was able to test another brick/C to C cable combination and it worked fine both ways. My cable worked in 3rd party brick. Using my brick and either cable, it will only charge in one direction.
So I guess my brick is bricked.... will ask G for replacement.
Well the sent a new brick. By the time I got it, things seemed to be working ok for a while.
But last night my phone was charging next to my bed. Middle of the night I noticed it was on. I grabbed it and unplugged the USB C. The cable connector was extremely hot. Didn't think much of it.
Now, near end of day, I try to charge again. Won't charge. Turned ohone off and tried to charge. Plug gets way hot, but no charging indication.
Back to Google support.

@akenis Did you ever sort this out?
I'm having the *EXACT* behavior, but on a OP6, the same "plugged in, can't charge right now" message.
If I reboot, I get one charge (still with the brief flash message "...can't charge") and then it charges, until I unplug it. Once unplugged it won't charge again, until rebooted.
Same charge-source/cables/Qi receiver that my OP5T had, and my wife now does, zero issues on it (the Qi pad is my main charge source, typical is about 500-700ma, do-able, for me). Re-tested the 5T on a couple of the cable/charger combos, absolutely no issues, it charges every time.
If I use their Dash charger (which I rarely do, because my Qi receiver is stuck on the back, under a case), it gets around this, but it's not a great solution for me; I only have one of them, and we have Qi chargers "everywhere", it seems ;-]
I had a 6P prior, my mea culpa for posting on a Pixel thread, with OP repro instance. I do think these are both s/w related, and probably related to some kernel issue, that's persisting in Oreo builds. I bet if I were really motivated, I could find this in several other brand devices, in various other forums...

I think it was hardware. On my 3rd 2XL. 1st one ended up smoking at us port. The replacement wouldn't route audio through us port.
