In this regard, a few users have recently voiced their opinion that their Pixel 7/Pro is charging extremely slowly. The device comes with a 5000mAH battery and as advertised, it should be charged 50% in 30 minutes. However, as of now, it seems to be a far-fetched reality, with some users reporting close to 4 hours for a full charge. If your device is also being charged at a snail’s pace, then this guide will make you aware of a few nifty workarounds to resolve this issue. Follow along.
Fix Pixel 7 Pro Charging Slowly
It is recommended that you try out each of the below-mentioned workarounds and then see which one spells out success for you. So with that in mind, let’s get started.
FIX 1: Use Official Charger & USB
While it has already been said many times before, but I would still like to reiterate the fact that you should only use the official charger and not any third-party one. In this regard, use the official USB cable that came out of the box and, if possible, use the 30W charging brick provided by Google.
FIX 2: Disable Adaptive Charging
When you plug in your device to the charger at night, the Adaptive Charging feature will keep the battery charged to a maximum of 80% throughout the night. Then when it’s time for you to wake up, it will complete the rest of the charging process so that you get a fully charged device. But how does it determine your wake-up time? Well, it primarily uses the alarm that you have set up and your daily usage routine. And while it does its job quite well, it still has a long way to go. This is because some users have voiced their concern that once they wake up, they still find their device stuck at 80% charging. So they again have to restart the charging process which in turn ends up exhausting a considerable amount of time So you could consider disabling this feature and then charging your device all at one go. Here’s how:
FIX 3: Restrict App’s Battery Usage
In some cases, an app might be aggressively running in the background which would not only lead to excessive battery drainage but could also increase the time duration of the device to get fully charged. Therefore, you should consider putting a cap on the maximum battery usage for such apps. Here’s how it could be done:
FIX 4: Charge in Safe Mode
In some instances, a third-party app or service might conflict with the normal process of device charging. Therefore, you should consider charging your device in Safe Mode which would give you an ecosystem free from all third-party apps and services. If your device is charging well and good, then the culprit is indeed a third-party app that needs to be removed from your device right away. Here’s how it could be done:
FIX 5: Disable Physical Activity Permission
If you have a smartwatch app installed on your device, then it would tend to constantly run in the background and carry out its tasks such as counting your steps. However, not only will it lead to overheating of the device, but might also considerably increase the time frame of the device to get fully charged. Therefore, you should consider disabling the app’s Physical Activity permission and instead refer to all your activity data directly from the watch itself. Here’s how:
FIX 6: Delete Data of Pixel Stand App
If you are noticing slow wireless charging speed, then the issue might be attributed to the corrupt data of the Pixel Stand app. So you should delete its data and let the app recreate a fresh instance of the same from scratch. Here’s how it could be done: That’s it. These were the six different methods to fix the issue of Pixel 7/Pro charging slowly.
