Wireless charger: phone overheating and not charging

[wormbot]

I left my Pixel 4 XL phone on the charger during my commute. The wireless charging indicator light was lit. When I got home, the phone was very hot and did not even charge at all. Is this a common issue? 2022 G70

You don't use a mag mount by chance do you? As in you have that small metal plate needed attached to back of phone?

I use a mag mount and tried to use my wireless charger and it heated up the phone pretty badly so I stopped using the wireless charger.

No metal plate whatsoever on my phone.

There's no mention of Pixel 4 *NOT* charging on non-EPP QI pads, so I doubt it's the issue. What I understand is that the phone would charge, but more slowly; and not overheat and lose charge.

Have you tried another phone? That would narrow down if it is the phone or the car.

I will say in my 2022 G70 3.3T it does not charge with the same case on it that I had with my 2019 G70. the light won't come on at all and I need to remove the case for it to charge. I charge my iphone wireless with the case on 3 other wireless chargers without issue. I was going to take the little rubber mat out and see if that helped at all.

In my 2022 G70, the wireless charger was working perfectly fine. Parked and went in store and came back out and now it won't even come on. I took to dealer because it is a week old. They could not figure it out. Now have to wait for service date.

I'm having a similar issue. Phone gets hot enough to trigger a warning, and doesn't seem to have taken much charge of at all. Car just has 500 miles.

First thing I turned off, and haven't looked back since...

You're right, why even worry about it. It's getting charged while being hooked up to Android Auto anyway.

I have the same problem. Worked fine and next day wouldn't turn on. Doesn't even show under setting when I search that way.
