The buzz surrounding Android 13 has reached all Google Pixel owners. The most recent Android OS update brings many new features, but it also appears to have some drawbacks. Many Pixel smartphone owners took to Reddit to complain about wireless charging woes on their phones as soon as they updated to Android 13.
Android 13 Wireless Charging Troubles
Google had announced the Android 13 update for Pixel users in August. However, it looks like Android 13 is partially broken, as spotted by many Pixel users accustomed to wireless charging. The wireless charging issues were primarily spotted on Google Pixel 4 and Pixel 4XL smartphones according to several Reddit threads. A few Google Pixel 6 users have also complained of the same.
After the Android 13 update, the wireless charging feature ceased functioning for some Pixel owners nearly immediately. Many consumers reported that their wireless chargers stopped working and that their phones even flashed a "not charging" warning. What's Wrong with Wireless Charging on Android 13? At the moment, it's unclear what exactly caused the issue. Most likely, the Google Pixel phones, particularly the Pixel 4 series, have a software or firmware issue with this. Both in wired and wireless modes, the software has the ability to slow down or interrupt the recharging process under specific conditions. For instance, if a Pixel phone has been resting or plugged into a wireless charger for several days, Google has set a charging threshold of 80 percent.
