I have an S7 and the Samsung Fast Charge Wireless pad.
It has been working for a couple of months, and now suddenly it will not charge.
When I put my S7 on the pad it initially starts to charge, and then I get a message saying "Wireless Charging Paused" with a blue flashing LED.
I have googled around and for the S6 people mentioned that putting the phone in "daydream mode" fixes this problem, but I dont have this option on the S7.
Has anyone encountered/solved this issue?
For anyone else having this issue...
I googled around and tried 10 different suggestions, none of which worked. A lot of people seem to be having this type of issue.
Then, I unplugged the USB cable from my wireless pad, waited a few seconds and plugged in again. VOILA. That worked.
Sometimes the answers are so simple....
I also have a Samsung Fast Charge Wireless stand with the Samsung fast charge wall charger and cable that it came with, and a Galaxy S7 Edge. I have never had this issue before, but since upgrading to Nougat a couple of weeks ago this seems to be happening frequently (wireless charging paused). I tried removing the slim case (which I never had to before), rebooting the phone, vertical or horizontal, and it had no impact. I also found that unplugging the wireless dock and then back in again fixed the issue. I don't have this issue with the older non-fast Samsung wireless charging pad (small square one). I am guessing there is some new battery/charging protection in Nougat that is a bit buggy and causing the stand to wig out until unplugged.
This happens to me and is why Smasung makes the worse wireless chargers ever. Won't ever go near a Samsung charger again. I bought a new and cheaper third party wireless fast charger and it charges every time with no charging paused issue, so there's obviously quality control issues with Samsung chargers and they never seem to fix the issue. People need to save their money and buy anything but a Samsung charger
Wireless Charging of Samsung 6 edge+
I got a Samsung wireless charger a year or so ago and at first it worked fine. After a while I got tired of walking across my office every time the phone rang. I moved the wireless charger from the Samsung wall charger to a USB port sharing device on the computer. Admittedly I never looked at the notification on the phone when it chimed, I assumed it was charging whenever it chimed. It took a while (I must be slow) but I started noticing that the phone was not always (or perhaps ever) charging. However, It also didn't seem like it was chiming each time I put the phone on the wireless charger, like I wasn't putting the phone exactly where it needed to be. When I moved the USB plug around in the socket,the power chime was going off and on. Even when it gave the chime indication that it was properly receiving power, I (finally) noticed the phone showed "Charging Paused". I assumed it was due to a plug problem on the adapter. To solve that problem I moved the USB cord to a direct port on the computer but kept getting the "charging paused" message. Out of frustration, I moved the wireless charger back to the Samsung wall charger. Immediately the phone chimed and indicated that it was charging normally. So perhaps the power from the USB port is not high enough to consistently charge the phone through the wireless charger?
Solved
I had this same issue with my Samsung wireless charger.
For anyone having the issue, here is the solution that worked for me.

I I like to think I'm pretty thorough when it comes to testing and diagnostics but I have something here that is puzzling me. I have tried to do some Google searching and Forum searching but haven't found anything conclusive. The wife and myself both have pixel XL. My phone will not charge unless I reboot it. I had this issue with the stock charger and cable or even aftermarket Chargers and cables. It does not matter what cable, what conversion adapter, or what charging brick I use. The cords I use from computers at work nor my fast charging adapter in the truck works. But all of these mentioned above will work with my wife's phone so I know they are all working as they should. However they will also work with my phone if I reboot my phone and have the cord plugged in at the time of Reboot. If it is Rebooted and connected it will charge but if I disconnect the cord and reconnect it it will then no longer charge until I reboot it again. I have been on the phone with Google support who also scratches their heads. I have booted into safe mode to try to weed out any third-party software that may be causing the issue and this does not work either. Because the USB port in the phone will charge once the phone is rebooted I find it hard to believe it is a hardware issue but more software-related. What are everyone's thoughts on this?

I have experienced this twice over the last year (both custom Nougat ROM and stock Oreo) and others have as well:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel/help/pixel-wont-charge-rebooted-t3495052
I do not believe an exact cause has been identified. The reboot appears to be the only solution.

My Pixel XL has developed the exact same problem since yesterday afternoon.
There are several thread describing what seems to be a similar problem but it's not since this is not getting solved by a reboot of the phone. If I reboot with the charger in. it works but if I remove and reinsert the charger, it doesn't (as opposed to the other threads on this topic).
In my case a third party USB A-C cable does work though which makes me think it has something to do with the Power Delivery standard. I've tested 2 OEM chargers with my wife's pixel and they work fine. I'm similarly inclined to believe it's a software issue.
Curiously yesterday afternoon I noticed a notification on my phone asking what I wanted to do with the plugged in device (charge, receive charge...) but I had nothing plugged in at the time. I restarted the phone and the notification went away. Did you notice something similar?
I was on 8.0 security patch level Nov 5th when this happened. Since then I've tried:
1. Rebooting the phone.
2. Resetting the phone.
3. Factory resetting the phone.
4. Switching to beta channel and installing 8.1
Nothing has worked.
Google and Project Fi want me to pay the $99 deductible to get it replaced (I have extended warranty) but I'm not inclined to do that yet.
Post Android Pie update I've noticed issues with the PD rapid charging. The original usb-c cable that came with the phone no longer works but I had no issues with the replacements but now occasionally I have to unplug/replug or reboot my phone in order for it to activate the "rapid charge" mode. I've tested this at various battery levels, power supply's and in general it doesn't seem to activate like it used to. My 3rd party Auckley charger was great but now I get more out of the 2.4A USB-A port than the USB-C PD/QC port.
I've heard the rapid charge feature hasn't been working correctly on Pixel's post update and was wondering if the causes were related? I'm hoping Essential responds to my concerns and if the issue is widespread issues a fix.

I did a clean install of P and I am not having issues.
Factory and 3rd party cables and chargers work fine.
Similar problem here except OEM cable works fine; 3rd party cables are having the problems you describe.

I suspect some 3rd party stuff is not really PD capable.
3rd Party VS OEM
I accept that some 3rd Party stuff may not be up to the same standards as OEM stuff but they (different USB-C cables) worked before the update and stopped after... If it was a single type/set up I would accept that as the cause but in this case it has happened with several different ones so I'm thinking it's a broader issue.

There is a handshake protocol and maybe there is a more strict adherence to the handshake?
I'm experiencing the same issue. Some PD chargers work; some do not. I just got my PH-1, so I'd never charged it prior to Pie.
Make sure your PD charger can do 9v and 12v for fast charge.

Finally yes I have this issue almost thrice a week dunno what causes it considering to factory reset.
got the same issue I have to plug in and pull out the cable one, two, three times until fast charging works!
Same issue... Using ampere to test and a few cables as well.. same issue.
I have some issue, how to fix it?
i'm going to revive this thread quick. Just got a Aukey PA-D1 (https://www.aukey.com/products/dual-port-30w-pd-wall-charger-with-dynamic-detect) and a matching type c-type c cable from them. plug the phone in and it goes from charging slowly, to rapidly, then drops completely, then restarts that whole sequence over and over. usually a restart will fix it, but its every time i plug it in. has anyone found an answer as to why this does this?
btw, running latest android 9, with june patch....
It happens to me only with power bank that supports PD.
It says charging slowly, normal, rapidly and disconnect.
Tried it with Galaxy s8, Galaxy note 8, lg g6 and it charge them great, without disconnect and with speed charge.
Also tried few cables, original cable and 3rd party who supports PD charge.

This has happened to me since I've owned the phone on one of my car chargers I own. It's just that one charger too. Issue has survived one RMA and multiple cables being used. In general I just plug it in and check in couple minutes to make sure it says fast charging and if not, unplug and replug it in.
Who knows if it's the charger's fault or essentials fault. I'm kinda leaning essential because it works just fine on my wife's pixel but the pixel is much more "understanding" in general when it comes to chargers (like it seems to fast charge on qc 3.0 too).
Anyone on Q beta seeing this?
I have been seeing this issue with 3rd party charger for months. I am wondering if anyone who has tried Q beta saw this issue resolved in Q beta.

My understanding is Quick Charge is broken...
So if the wallwart supports QuickCharge in anyway... It's trouble...
It has been that way for me on every iteration and security patch going back to 11/17 or so...
Somewhere... Way deep in the forum covered by ETA requests and useless banter... There's an article linked about how the PH-1 requests too much voltage from QuickCharge and forces it to reset...
This is an issue at the hardware level... And the only workaround is to make sure your charge brick does not support QC at all

Just figured I'd chime in as well. I'm experiencing the "Charging / Charging Slowly / Charging Rapidly" issue with my USB-C Car charger. One a Verizon branded and one an Anker branded. I know the Anker one is a "Q.C." one because it says it right on the device - but with the Q.C. enabled one, I only get "Charging Slowly" on it (so slow in fact, that the battery actually drains on the device). With the Verizon charger, I get the "charging loop".
Q beta 4 resolved this issue for me but it's back on both beta 5 and 6 . I've tried the OEM charger, a Nexus 6p charger, a OnePlus 7 charger and a Samsung Galaxy note 9 charger. They all cycle between charging slowly/ charging/ charging rapidly and not charging.
Has absolutely nothing to do with third party cables not being up to Power Delivery specification (at least in my extensive experience with this God-forsaken no end in sight charge speed bug. I've had absolutely asinine experiences with it myself where I've routinely {more than 25% of the time) had under 1000ma upon fresh plug in with battery below 30%. Also worth noting that I've seen the problem albeit less often pop up with USB a to c cables and ports as well.
Hi, I'm having this weird charging issue with my Pixel 2. It happened right after I updated to November patch.
I am using the Tronsmart U5P charger, it has one USB-C port which supports 30W Power Delivery. Since November patch, sometimes when I try to charge my phone, the lightning icon will appear in the battery icon then immediately disappear and appear again. This repeats on and on and the phone won't charge.
What makes it weird is that this issue happens randomly. Sometimes it charges normally, sometimes this issue occurs.
I have tried many cables: The cables that originally came with Pixel 1 and Pixel 2, Genuine Apple USB-C cable. All of these have this issue.
You might think that this is the problem with the charger, but I also have Aukey power bank that supports Power Delivery and it sometimes has this problem too!
Moreover, if I use the original adapter that came with the phone, no problem at all. It charges normally every time.
I have tried rebooting into Safe Mode and it didn't help. What I haven't tried is factory reset.
I don't know if Google would offer a replacement unit for issue like this because using the original charger works normally.
Anyone using third-party USB-PD charger? Do you have this issue? Please share. Thanks.
Have you tried cleaning out your charging port with tweezers, qtips, compressed air, etc?
I have a T-Mobile OnePlus 7 Pro that I converted to the international firmware and recently got Android 10. Everything has mostly been good except since the upgrade I've noticed that a lot of the power adapters I have around the house just aren't charging the device. I'll plug my phone in and the battery icon will show a charging symbol, but the lock screen won't show that it's charging. Curiously, I have my phone set to display a clock as a screensaver only when charging, and that will activate when plugged in, so the phone definitely thinks it's charging. Two of the chargers were from my old Pixel 2 XL, and over the weekend I bought a third, brand new charger that initially seemed to work but I woke up this morning and my phone hadn't charged at all. Tried multiple outlets in the house and it's the same story. I have the Warp Charger at my desk at work and haven't had any issues with that.
Has anyone else experienced this?

I am experiencing this too. As are a few others on the OP Community forums. If you look into the battery settings it will say "plugged in- can't charge" or something like that. With the USB plugged in and rebooting the device it will start charging. Others have said a roll-back to Pie will fix the issue, but other than that no solution yet. I think the issue has been more with alternative cables. Using the stock brick and cable should work still.
I am having the same issue. My MacBook and pixel chargers used to charge my phone but as the person above mentioned now says my phone is plugged in and unable to charge. So it essentially maintains the phone at the same percentage indefinitely.
Using the original OnePlus charger works. I'm assuming this is a bug OnePlus needs to work out with Android 10 as this wasn't the case with Pie.
I'm in the same boat. It's driving me NUTS. The same USB C cables worked just fine on Pie. Now it's almost every single time I plug my phone in it says "Plugged in, but can't charge" or something like that.
Here how I fixed the problem on my Oneplus 7 pro running android 10
Same thing happened to me. It was very annoying, so I test many usb cables. I found out that the issue is with the usb cables not from the charger.
So I enabled developer options, and I went to the debugging section and I enabled USB debugging option. And all the USB cables started working and my phone started charging ?.
I turned off the USB debugging and it's still charging.
Hope this method will work with you guys.
I had assumed it had something to do with Android 10's new features regarding USB security and preventing USB based attacks and exploits, but I figured that Android would show some notification about it being turned on whenever USB was plugged in. At least I know I'm not alone in this, I was scared my phone might have been going bad.
