I picked up my 23 Denali yesterday. I put my Pixel 7 pro in the charging pocket. The display showed the green lightning bolt. The phone also showed the charging indicator. After about a minute the  green charging indicator changed into an orange triangle with an exclamation point in the center. I thought it was because of the case so I removed it and had the same problem with the bare phone. Its sort of aggravating as the 2020 SLT I traded charged the same phone with the case on face up, face down. Anyone else experience this problem? Hopefully its a bad charger and the dealer can rectify the problem.

Mine does the same thing with my Samsung A53, the phone does not support wireless charging....That's your problem, incompatible phone.

The Pixel 7 Pro  most definitely supports wireless charging,. I do it at home and it charged flawlessly in my 2020 SLT.

Have you tried flipping it end for end? My Galaxy needs to go in top down.

That seems to work  if I take the case off

Guys, no worries. I had the same problem. The phones are compatible. The secret is your phone Home Screen must be unlocked before you put it in the charger location. It took a bit but I got in the habit of unlocking the Home Screen and it charges every time.

My S22 ultra doesn't need to be unlocked. I have a tech21 case on it. No issues charging so far. I'd try different phones to see if they charge.

My wireless charging has been spotty with my Fold 4, and my previous S20 FE. Usually I can only get it to work with no case and some trial and error. I just always use the power cord.

This really stinks because in my 2020 SLT I'd just put the same phone with the case in anyway I wanted . Face up Face down, pointing in any direction. I guess a refresh doesn't always mean an upgrade.

I have a pre-refresh truck. 2021. 

 

My bad, I missed you have a 2023. I think they just have crap hardware for these. IMO.

I’ve got an iPhone 14 Plus (oversized) and it can be finicky in my ‘23 Sierra with the same charging pad.  I initially had a lot of the same issues, but I raised up the armrest and tried placing it down multiple times in top-up and top-down orientation until I found the best fit and also to get a feel for how to center it.  I noticed that if you were just a fraction of an inch off to one side, it would try to charge but throw the yellow triangle.  After 2 months, I have gotten much better at placing it in the right spot without looking and it works much better.

 

With all the different sized phones and cases, it’s really difficult to create a one-size-fits-all wireless charger in a car.  Think about it this way — your wireless charger is either model-specific (a la Apple MagSafe) or it’s a flat pad on a desk or table (and even those can be finicky if you don’t get it perfectly centered).  It’s much more difficult in the confined space of a vehicle to get one that fits everything.

I was having this same problem with my iPhone 12 Pro - it was a little better out of the case but still would disconnect on longer drives.  I saw a link on FB and looked at it - I was VERY skeptical but ended up buying one.  It's been working perfectly with this thing.  It is basically a spacer that centers the phone and brings it forward slightly.  You could easily make one if you're handy - I was gonna make one out of foam to try it first, but then I started drink spending one night and just ordered it - like $18 and change delivered.  It is made of some sort of plastic-like stuff - maybe like circuit board material since that is their main business.  They also make a spacer for larger phones that just push it forward some without the side spacers the slim phones need.

The latest software update I downloaded last week solved the issues with the charging problem. Works as it should with the  Pixel 7 Pro with case. I can place it anywhere on the pad as long as the top of the phone goes down.

Software update on the phone or the truck?

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Its no wonder you've gravitated to the oil types and brands you have in later years after trying certain brands and one being a specialty oil or at least very hard to come by up here and the other would have been a commonly found oil of the era and the vastly different outcomes as a result to using the vehicles in question the same distance for an OCI . It shows what marketing hype can do without actually having the product to back up the claims and that is no different now with the insane claims that are written on the side of a bottle of oil from some of the off the shelf oils.    What has surprised me and I was already finding this out before I bought my truck with the GDI engine, that this newer fancy technology that seemingly would suggest better fuel economy/emissions with this high pressure spray of fuel is not in reality kind at all to the engine or at least the oils life. Yet they insist on claiming long OCI with this technology just like they did with the port or similar type fuel injection systems when in reality its a step back in oil life to have a GDI system.    I think the mistake your making Grumpy is that your not sending your samples to Blackstone and getting the feel good glowing report that you can run it another 1000 or more miles and then send another sample where they say run it yet another 1000 miles and on and on it goes until your sending in something that looks a lot like road tar and then they may suggest you change your oil within the next 1000 miles 😆

      I am guessing that engines of that design back then had a better ability to be abused and survive longer than a new design engine with the long timing chain and the overhead cams and phasers etc. But I would never guess that an engine could go that far and not fail spectacularly or at least die a slow death.

      In the 80's 90's I'd run Honda's 7,500 miles between changes using Red Line HP 5W20 and do it for hundreds of thousands of miles with issues. Back in the day it was an SAE 20 with the HTHS of a SAE 30 and SN add load. It was also very polar. Oxidation VOA was over 120. Besides those motors were SPFI and lean burn tech. I could have likely run it longer but never did.    We had a Toyota bought new I ran on Pennzoil's latest and greatest synthetic of the day with "Penthane". A made up word for a very low dose of PAO. Tried 7,500 mile OCI's in that Group III/VI chemistry and the rings tapped out at 90K. Rocker box wasn't as bad as the one Punch put up but it wasn't good either. Also a SPFI motor.    I'm around 3,750 across the board on these GDI monsters and the oil it tapped out by then usually on TBN/TAN crossover and color. Red Line HP Euro.    The AMSOIL SS brochures tell you to follow the OEM values for the service class but that it can be run up to 25K if monitored. I can't imagine what motor could go that distance and not tap out. I've never owned one.    Yes, I know. Lot's of people do. I'm just not going to be one of them.

      I knew a guy in the early 80's that bought a new Monte Carlo and ran it a 100,000 miles without ever changing the filter or the oil. Just kept adding. It looked like that inside.

      My First Project and GMC has me stumped

      By whenindoubtuseahammer · Posted

      Good evening. I was lucky enough to get passed down to me a 2007 GMC LBZ that was my great uncle's. While the underside and rockers are more or less gone I feel like with time I can restore it to working order since it only has 110,000 miles and he put nearly every option he could get without getting the new body style since he did not trust DEF. So far I have done everything I can think of but when I put the key into the ignition nothing happens. I put 2 brand new batteries in it. Cleaned the terminals. Check all the fuses and relays and they all pass with my multimeter. I know I'm missing something that I just cant think of. The only odd thing is the OBD2 port works which makes me think its not the mega fuse. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
