Wireless Charge Pad Problem

The wireless charge pad bought with my iPhone 10 a few months ago has stopped working with any of the several outlets I’ve tried at home; but it works in the store where I took it yesterday hoping to exchange it (ATT&T Wireless where I bought the phone and charger).


Has my home’s electricity somehow changed in a way that has made it incompatible with the charging pad?


Our wired chargers still work at home in all the same outlets where the wireless pad won’t...

The electricity in a home does not change. If the outlets work for other chargers, and for other devices, then the problem is with the wireless charger. One other possibility: have you recently added a protective case or changed to a different one? Some keep the phone too far away from the pad. I added a LoveHandle grip to the back of my case and now have to remove the phone from the case in order to use wireless charging. Try removing your phone from the case and placing it directly on the pad. Does it work then?

Thank you.


Yes, I should have mentioned I’m trying to charge the phone without its case as had been working all along.


My wife and son moments ago set their phones on it and it responded.


I thought for a bit well the problem must be within my phone.


But no, it began charging on the same pad at the store yesterday.


So I’m still flummoxed...
