Google Pixel Phone-Charger Not Compatible

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?

You don't appear to be alone.

 

GMC Sierra Nation | Has anyone had issues charging wirelessly in their GMC Sierra | Facebook

 

Chevrolet Silverado ZR2 | Anyone else have an issue with the wireless charger in their ZR2 | Facebook

 

Even Ford folks   2025+ Ford Expedition | Can someone tell me what I'm misunderstanding with the wireless charger | Facebook

 

 

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.

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

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.

      I’m definitely interested to hear the end result here.

      Another 6.2L engine failure!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      My 2025 Silverado 1500 had to receive a brand-new engine (long block) under warranty last month at only around 16,500 miles. Before the replacement, the truck repeatedly displayed "Engine Oil Level Low" warnings, even though the Oil Life Monitor still showed around 50% remaining after about 6,000 miles since my last oil change. After seeing the warning several times, I checked the dipstick with the engine cold, and the oil level was completely normal. The next day, the message escalated to "Add Engine Oil." At first, I assumed it was just a faulty oil level sensor, so I brought the truck to the dealership. After inspecting the engine, they found internal cylinder wall scoring and ultimately replaced the entire long block under warranty. Before this happened, I was planning to install a 4-inch lift and suspension upgrade on my truck. After needing a new engine at just 16,500 miles, I honestly don't see the point anymore. I also contacted GM to ask whether my vehicle qualified for a buyback, but I was informed that it does not at this time. Anyway, this experience has left me with serious concerns about the long-term reliability of this engine. I sincerely hope NHTSA expands the current investigation or recall to include 2025 model and performs a thorough inspection of affected vehicles. My biggest concern is that these engines may fail shortly after the powertrain warranty expires. If GM truly stands behind this engine, then at the very least, please consider extending the powertrain warranty to 10 years for affected owners. That would go a long way toward restoring customer confidence.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Without exception but then I'm the odd duck, right? I know what goes into that test, how it is calculated and thus how to beat it. But EPA values are often not beaten by the general public and the government has in past years adjusted the means and methods to come to those values to more closely approximate "Joe Average".    The only real trick to beating that EPA average is don't drive like "Joe Average".    It's the same method you used to profit from "Economic Migration" and in doing so beat the 'stats'. But you, like me, are not "Joe Average".     The thing you don't seem to grasp is this "Purchasing Power Index" isn't forward looking. It doesn't predict what it going to be but looks backward and states what it was. They are not telling us what the THINK, they are telling us what they MEASURED. Example:    Wife says "I'm going to lose 40 pounds by Christmas". May she does, maybe she doesn't but the doctors office who weighed her when she made that statement and again at Christmas only REPORTS what the RESULT was. You and I can banter about what was possible and what aunt Tilly did till the cows come home but the result is the result. Arguing otherwise is.....irrational. That's all I'm saying. This isn't about:      What you are calling a 'Statistic' is a RESULT not a CALCUATION and as a result the RULE. Like gravity as a rule, it can not be broken.

      Rattle in the rear!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      Just wanted to say thank you for posting this. Years later, your thread is still helping Silverado owners.   I bought my 2025 Silverado 1500 in January 2025, and I've had what feels like the exact same rattle since day one. After reading your findings, I believe my truck has the same issue with the cable carrier contacting the rear sliding window. To be honest, I had pretty much given up on pursuing the issue. It wasn't until I recently drove another brand's pickup that I realized just how quiet their cabin was—and how noisy mine has been all along. On my truck, the rattle happens on almost any paved road, gets even worse on rougher pavement, and I can even hear it during braking and acceleration.   I actually referenced your thread when submitting my case to GM, hoping they'll recognize this as a recurring issue instead of treating it as an isolated incident. The reason I reached out to GM first is because my dealership told me they would need to keep the truck for at least two days just to diagnose the problem. I was concerned that even after two days, they still might not be able to identify the source of the rattle before giving the truck back to me. I had also asked a few dealerships about this issue during previous service visits, but none of them seemed to know what was causing it or had a solution. That's why I decided to contact GM directly first, hoping they might already have an official repair procedure or guidance for this issue.   I also hope GM eventually comes up with an official fix for this problem. I have a feeling there are many Silverado owners experiencing the same rattle, but most either choose to live with it or simply don't know what the cause is.   Really appreciate you taking the time to document your diagnosis. Your post is still making a difference years later.
