Pixel 7 Not Charging: Troubleshooting Tips?

General Discussion
1

I’m having a bit of a technical issue with my Pixel 7 that I’m hoping someone here can help with. It seems like my phone isn’t charging properly, even when it’s connected to a power source.

What I’ve Tried So Far:

  1. Different Cables: I’ve tried using multiple charging cables, but it doesn’t seem to make a difference. I checked to see if they were all functional with other devices, and they worked fine.
  2. Different Chargers: I also attempted to charge my Pixel 7 using different wall adapters and power banks but still nothing.
  3. Port Inspection: I took a close look at the charging port on my phone. It doesn’t appear to have any lint or debris, but I haven’t tried using a soft brush or compressed air yet.
  4. Restarting the Phone: A quick restart is often all that’s needed, but it hasn’t resolved the issue this time.
  5. Software Update Check: I checked for any pending software updates, but my device is already on the latest version.

Questions:

  • Has anyone else experienced this problem before? If so, what steps did you take to fix it?
  • Are there specific settings I should check that might be interfering with the charging?
  • Could this possibly indicate a hardware issue with the battery?

Any insights or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance for your help!

I had the same issue with my Pixel 7! First, check if your charging cable is properly connected and not damaged. Sometimes it’s just a loose connection.

Also, inspect the charging port for dust or debris—it can really affect charging performance!

Great point! If cleaning the port doesn’t work, try a different charging adapter. Not all chargers work well with the Pixel 7.

Also, make sure your Pixel is updated to the latest software version. Outdated software can lead to charging issues too.

So true! I didn’t realize that until my phone started acting up. Check for updates, everyone!

If none of that works, consider doing a soft reset. Sometimes a reboot can clear up charging glitches.

Yes! It’s a simple fix, and it worked for me. Just hold the power button until it restarts.

10

Anyone else faced a situation where their Pixel actually charged—just super slowly? What’s up with that?

11

Yes, that’s frustrating! I’ve experienced that too. It makes me wonder if it’s a battery issue.

Don’t forget to check if your phone is still under warranty! If all else fails, you might be eligible for a replacement.

13

That’s true! But let’s be honest, I’d rather fix it myself than deal with customer support. :joy:

I had the same issue with my Pixel 7 not charging at one point. I found that using a different charger (not the original one) did the trick for me. Sometimes it’s about the cable too!

That’s interesting! I didn’t even think about trying another charger. Did you use a fast charger or just a regular one?

16

I faced this issue too! After trying multiple chargers, I factory reset my Pixel 7, and it worked perfectly again. Just make sure to back up your data before resetting!

17

Thanks for mentioning the factory reset! I wonder if anyone has tried alternative charging methods like wireless charging?

18

Exactly! I used a wireless charger during my troubles, it worked better than expected. Sometimes the charging port gets clogged, so cleaning it out can help, too!

I had clogged charging ports before! But I also tried using a power bank, and it charged just fine. That might help someone who’s on the go.

Cleaning the port is a good tip! I just used a toothpick cautiously and it worked wonders for me.
