Pixel 8 Says "Charging on hold" while not plugged in. in c/[email protected]
[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 7 hours ago

For posterity: I've had adaptive charging off this week. Last night, I plugged in my phone to charge. It charged overnight. When I woke, it was at 80%, and I had the message. This is normal behavior, because the phone was ON the charger. I removed the cable, but the message did not go away. The charging icon is also still on (lightning icon on the battery), though the battery level is going down as it is not plugged in. This is slightly different behavior from before, but still confusing. Before, phone was not plugged in and charging icon turned on. Now, phone was plugged in, and charging icon stays on when phone is removed from charger.

However, tldr, turning off adaptive charging has not remedied the issue.

Yep, I agree with you. I think the customer service representative just didn't know what to make of the problem. They picked up on the fact that I use adaptive charging, and everything I got after that from them was telling me that this is how it works. I reiterated that it is doing this when not plugged in, but then we were going in circles, so I just said thank you and left.

If it happens again, maybe I will get a different rep and have more success.

So, just asked Google Customer service about it. The answer does not make sense to me, but they said "Adaptive Charging on a Google Pixel phone may show the charging symbol even when it's not plugged in because it charges to one hour before you unplug it." They also told me several times that "You shouldn't worry about it".

This is not very satisfying, and doesn't make sense, but it wasn't going anywhere. I'm going to try turning off adaptive charging, because maybe it's just really confused what my schedule is?

I did a visual inspection and I don't see any build up. I generally clean the exterior of the phone regularly, because my skin is sensitive to sweat. So I keep things I touch regularly clean. (Phon, computer mice, keyboard, etc). I could just stick a toothpick in there and gently move around just to see if it knocks anything clear? I don't want to damage anything by trying to fix it though, lol.

No updates available right now. The issue has been present for a few update cycles already. It has also persisted across a few resets.

Hmm, so it thinks is always plugged in?

Yes, I think you're right. But the two things started happening around the same time, so I thought maybe there is some relation?

Over the past few weeks (months, idk?) my phone (Pixel 8) gives me a message that says "Charging on hold to protect the battery" when the phone is not plugged in. The notification stays forever until I select "override" to dismiss the safety feature. It will not charge (if I later plug it in) until I say "override". When I say override, it will let me charge, but I will still see the notification again later, so it appears to be a temporary override.

This morning, I saw the notification pop up while I was using the phone. It was in my hands, not plugged in, and did the animation like I had just plugged in the phone to charge. It was at about 45% battery, so it also seems to have nothing to do with battery percent.

Am I just charging wrong, or I don't understand how smart charging works, or is this incorrect behavior? In normal circumstances, I charge the phone overnight. Since this has begun, I have begun leaving it off the charger overnight and instead charging it earlier in the evening for a bit then removing it before bed. I've noticed recently that it only charges to 80%, so it is usually very low when I get home.

Lol, thanks. I read the article, but not the headline, apparently.

Did I read it right that he got 25 years, and she got 110? And the 110 was a reduction after testifying against him?

I'd like to track hurricanes. All the apps I see collect all kinds of personal data. I just go to NOAA to see the advisories, but wondering if there is something better.

Edit: OS is Android 14 Edit: looking for radar (probably) or some other feature to track hurricanes (I don't know what tools there are besides radar, but if there's something else I'm interested).
