Google Pixel Phone-Charger Not Compatible

BronzeSierra · January 21

From day one, my Google Pixel 8 Pro phone will not charge in my '25 Sierra wireless charger. Tried moving it around in all positions with no change. It shows charging on the dash screen icon, initially shows charging on the phone for a few seconds then blinks and repeats. End result is it actually discharges the phone. Also tried a Pixel 10 Pro, no difference and no phone case(bare). These same phones work as advertised in a home wireless charger and Verizon in-store wireless charger. Verizon has been no help.

I've been to two dealers and get the same response, charges techs phone fine(non Google phone). The second dealer even replaced the charger under warranty with no improvement. I even started a service ticket through GM, end result was them checking with my dealer and telling me the problem is on Google's end.

Has anyone been able to get their Pixel phone to work in the truck wireless charger?

My Google 9A charges fine. Have you tried updating your phone lately or a soft reset?

You don't appear to be alone.

Some tried some sort of adapter and had good luck. Otherwise I'd just use wired charging and be done with it. I have wireless charging in my Equinox EV and I don't use it or have used it maybe twice in the 5 months I've owned it. Otherwise I use USB.

I have and keep checking for phone updates with no improvement.

I was hoping someone may have come across a fix. First truck with a wireless charger, figured I should be able use it but can definitely get by without it.

Some more.

Pixel 8 will not charge with car wireless charging - Google Pixel Community

Pixel 10 pro not charging in my car. - Google Pixel Community

Pixel 8 Pro not charging when on Chevy wireless charger 2025 Silverado Trail Boss. - Google Fi Wireless Community

It seems to be hard to pinpoint. I've tested my iPhone XS and now my 16E which both have Qi style wireless chargers and they work fine in vehicles I've tested with wireless charging. Haven't seen them stop charging either.

When I had the Pixel 8 (Pro) I had a similar issue. Resolution was to put it feet up (charging port towards the dashboard). After that, it charged just fine.

I now have a Pixel 10 Pro XL and it fails to charge in any orientation. I'm getting ready to order the "upgrade" part from 404 Parts. I just need to see what it will take to gain access to the underside of where the module is. Bit of a PITA to swap out. But if it will give me a Qi3 charger, or the ability to charge NEW devices for the next several years (at least 4-5) it will be worth it.

I've tried every direction with no change, GMC screen shows charging but it actually discharges the phone. Since the charger was replaced under warranty, I chalk it up to the phone being the problem. Other brand/model phones seem to work fine.
