Qi adapter - Google Pixel 3a XL Questions & Answers

Hi,
Just replaced my pixel XL with a 3a XL and tried to use my Qi adapter to add wireless charging but it doesn't work? I even bought a new one that says compatible and supports fast charging and replaced the pad with a new 30w....but phone doesn't seem to charge this way?

The 3a series doesn't support wireless charging.

Hence why I'm using an Qi adapter receiver...as I did with my original pixel xl

Home charger adapter

Hi all I just got my Pixel XL but didn't come with the charger. I just wanted to ask if the Galaxy S7 edge fast charger is compatible with the Pixel? I do get the rapid charge message when charging but wanted to know if the charging speed is the same as the original Pixel charger?
Thanks in advanced..

I am currently using s7 edge charger. I have no problems with fast charging. I think phones kernel tell's charger to draw specific amount of current. So i think you should be able to use it safely. To answer your question, it should be very similar to pixel charger.
I use whatever charger I have in the house but only a couple will rapid charge. My Asus chromebook's usb-c charger will rapid charge it. That is super nice since I travel a lot I only need the one charger.

I agree with the guys here. I have used my Note 7s fast charger as well as the charger for my kids switch without issue.

Thank you.. Yet for some reason I still feel like it's not charging as fast as it's advertised with the stock charger. ? maybe I'm comparing with the OnePlus 3T, that was the fastest I seen.

I don't think the charger speed competes with my old Note 5 or 7 with the stock charger.
I've also noticed my USB 3 ports on my computer seem to be as fast or a little faster than the stock charger.

Nexus 5x charger compatibility

Does anyone know if I can use my old Nexus 5x charger? I was reading on a few threads that the OG pixels did not work with the Nexus chargers and wanted to see if that held true with the pixel 2.
Thanks!

Don't know why a PD charger wouldn't work on the Pixel or Pixel 2. They may be lower wattage but might not charge as fast.

FWIW I've got a dozen miscellaneous USB-C chargers kicking around and they've all worked fine on the Pixel 2. These include what Google was selling initially with the Nexus 6P and the separate 3A chargers which were available via the Google Store at the time.
I haven't found any charger or cord around here that won't work. So far nothing has blown up. That's always nice.
Yes

Yes, the Nexus 5x charger works with my Pixel 2 and does register as rapidly charging.
Yes, I used it last night to charge my phone
I have 2 Nexus 5x chargers and neither seem to work. In both cases they show 'charging', but after several hours the battery is at the same level.
My 5X charger works great.

I have a Vinsic USB Type-C cable and wall charger that worked fine on the Nexes 5x. I tried it on the Pixel 2 and it can't seem to charge. The lighting bolt in the battery icon that usually indicates charging just flashes but it doesn't seem to be charging the Pixel 2 at all.
Does anyone with Vinsic USB Type-C cable and wall charger have this issue with the Pixel 2?
Are certain brands of Type-C cables and chargers that were compatible with Nexus 5x no longer compatible with Pixel 2?
i actually haven't taken my P2XL charger out of the box, because I only charge my P2XL on my N5X chargers.
They always register as rapid charging, fyi.

Anyone tried using a non Pixel charger on their Pixel 2 XL yet?

Tried using my old Samsung charger (that used to work on my Pixel XL)at my bedside lamp table last night and when I woke up this morning after sleeping bout 7 hours my battery level was only 60%?
Also my old car charger never seems to top it off but did with my Pixel XL.
Do I need to purchase all new chargers?
I have used several different chargers including really old adapters with usb c cables and all have worked for me
It may have more to do with the cable than the charger. I was using Volta magnetic cables with my 6p and they didn't work with the p2xl. Had to switch to regular cables. The OEM charger DOES charge much faster than my old ones but I'm assuming that's just a voltage/wattage thing.
Using one that came with the Nexus 6P. No problems.
I've used an Asus, HTC, and Aukey QC charger all with no problem.
Aukey, Samsung, and Huawei (mate9) chargers all worked with no issues.

My old Pixel XL car and wall chargers seem to only work when plugging it in one way. I plug it in and get no charge, I turn it around an re-plugin then it works lol. Mines getting replaced anyways!

Using an OG Pixel 1 XL charger?

Hey, I was given a Pixel 2 XL to replace my Pixel 1 XL through my insurance company. Question, I wasn't supplied a charger, does anyone know if the charger I have with the original Pixel will be safe in terms of voltage and charging speeds?

Yup, your good. I have both at home and just use whichever charger is closest.

Pixel fast charging and Thinkpad charger in one.

Hi can somebody point me towards a travel charge that will allow me to both fast charge the pixel and a laptop (Thinkpad). I honestly don't know what to look for. Why or why is Google doing PD. Thanks.
Which ThinkPad do you have? If it charges USB-C then it's PowerDelivery. That charger would work for the Pixel just fine.
