Airpods Pro wireless charge not working

I’m having the same issue. Brand new AirPod pros! I tried charging it all night long and the case is only at 50 percent! I put it on there around 7pm it’s now almost 10 am. It’s frustrating since the headphones didn’t come with the connector to charge it on the wall. Only the cord. It makes me angry that with such and expensive item they wouldn’t give you all the pieces to charge it! Not everyone owns wireless chargers so not providing them with the full wall adaptor is honestly such a scam on apples part!

I did something similar with my pair except instead of using a silicone case, I took an old check I had laying around, folded it in half and put it between the charger and APP. It’s been working now for a little bit. I will say that I had mine replaced though. I had this issue and Apple offered a replacement case. I had an engraving so I bothered them until I got a new engraved case. I had to actually get a full refund and replacement order because they won’t just give you a replacement case with a custom engraving. It was annoying but maybe they’ll take notice soon...

I have had this issue since day 1. Swapped out (knowing it wouldn't change anything).

5 different chargers INCLUDING THE TWO THAT APPLE STOCKS (Belkin Boost Up! and mophie wireless charging pad) do NOT charge the APP and Belkin said they are aware of it. The Boost Up that I got was a slightly diff SKU (it was the normal edition and not the "Apple exclusive" chrome edition) but it is the same components essentially -- different SKU with a chrome outline and a SKU that says APL on it for Apple exclusive.

It's just a problem with the APP. I have an open case about it and they've done nothing.

Mophie won't work. Already returned it. It's not the hinge (or if it is, then all other 4 chargers I had detected that too). It's either a firmware bug with the APP and its Qi compatibility or it's a major hardware flaw that cannot be fixed until the next generation.

They haven't cared. Apple tech admitted on phone that he also could not charge his APP with the Belkin Boost Up! that they sell in their store. The two that they sell do NOT work charging the APP from what I have experienced and read.

Correct. Multiple sites have confirmed that the APP will stop charging (sometimes around 83%) due to overheating while charging wirelessly. Major flaw.

Belkin support confirmed to me that the Belkin Boost Up! (you know, the one that is sold in the Apple Stores and online) as well as similar models are confirmed internally to not support the APP.

Silicon case or not, 5 different chargers do not work including the two that Apple sells (Belkin, mophie). I would imagine that the chargers that Apple sells should work. But Sr. Apple rep confirmed to me that he also cannot charge his APP w/ the Belkin Boost Up that is in store.

Haha don't worry about your typos! I didn't even notice. Thanks for your super in-depth reply. I think maybe that charger you have just happens to be one of the random "lucky ones" that seems to work. I heard brands like Anker thrown around as almost always working w/o any issues. Maybe Aukey is another brand that just happens to work.

Could also be the little case you have as I heard that some people jerry-rigged it to work with postcards, pieces of cloth, etc. to prevent the "metal detection" or overheating or whatever.

Out of curiosity, can you successfully charge your APP from beneath 50% to 100% without the little case you have? You don't have to test it for me of course just thought I'd ask cuz if you can, it would just prove that Aukey's chargers seem to be on the "working" list and it's not the little case making it work.

And yeah, when I talked to Apple, I had to keep mentioning that I understood that the APP light itself turns off and that when I mentioned "lights flashing" or "going out", I was referring to the light on the charger itself (like it seems like yours has a little green light on the very bottom middle).

On all of my chargers (incl. the Belkin and mophie that Apple sells)... I would either get the light indicating it's charging... then it stops... (as if the APP was removed)... then if I don't touch it, it would come back on for a minute... turn off... back on... and then usually it would finally fail entirely before 83% by starting to flash at me like a strobe light (that happened on all 5 chargers that I tried). Sometimes it would jump immediately to strobe light mode and I'd have to just remove the AirPods or the whole room looked like a nightclub LOL.

Also thanks for the info about your ANC issues with 2B588. I really hope they fix that... I can deal with charging wired... but this ANC (or lack thereof) is really bumming me out because they were so good the first week I had them... I was recommending them to all of my friends and then... 2B588 and 2C54 happened.

Having the exact same issue with my APP on a Quezqa charger which specifically lists APP compatibility. Case definitely gets warm and the right APP won't charge at all, in fact, it loses charge while in the case sitting on the charger. Hopefully they can fix this but I think I will stay away from qi charging the APPs for now as the right one losing charge while on the charger is concerning and may indicate adverse effect on the battery :(

Agreed. Two chargers (at least) sold by Apple do not work with the APP. I don't know if it's fixable with firmware or not.

Note to Moderators: Not speculation. Fact (confirmed by one Apple Senior Rep and also Belkin).
