wireless charger issues resolved

[BillHartman67]

Tried a reboot. Tried moving to a new phone same result.

I agree that the phone is entering thermal protection and shutting off the charge.

Wonder if anyone else is having the same issues?

With the builtin charger? Yes. That's why I got the one from TWRAPS. Any misalignment between the phone and the charger will mean more of the charging energy is lost as heat rather than actually charging the phone. I think that's the primary reason why Apple implemented MagSafe, not just because it's convenient. It neatly solves the alignment problem.

Hm, I haven't had any issues with overheating using the TWRAPS panel at all, though I guess I wouldn't be surprised if that happened to some. I wish they'd be able to reissue a new version using Qi2, as all my Qi2 chargers stay much cooler compared to the older MagSafe (I returned the original Anker MagGo battery cuz it would burn a hole in my pocket, but their new Qi2 one just gets slightly warm).

The panel is also relatively easy to to lift up, even with a phone connected to charge. I keep my sunglasses in a case underneat the TWRAPS charging panel, and have had no issues getting access to it when I need it.

Just got the the TWRAPS panel for Christmas! Charging super slick design locking on top of the cable wraps

TWRAPS for the win.. i showed up to pick up my car with their dual charger tray (and matte screen protector) and have not looked back. make sure you have a strong magnetic bond... or your phone evolves into a pinball.
