Some Pixel users say Google’s November update broke wireless charging

Some Pixel owners are reporting that Google’s November update has caused issues with wireless charging on their devices. Affected users have stated that their phones display a charging indicator, but the battery percentage remains stagnant instead of increasing. It remains uncertain if the update is the root cause of the problem.

Reaching out to Google for clarification has been attempted. Google rolled out its major November update, which introduced features such as Pixel Solver, Create My Widget, Gemini Call Screen, and more. However, it appears that the update may have also introduced a bug, leading to wireless charging issues for at least a handful of Pixel users.

The issue does not seem to be widespread, but it is not an isolated case either. The complaints originated from a recent Google Support post, where a Pixel 10 Pro XL user reported that their device lost wireless charging capabilities after installing Google’s November 5 update, which accompanied the new Pixel Drop.

  • Assigns explicit latency to each step for predictable interleaving
  • Enforces version/ETag comparisons to reject stale writes
