Airpods Pro wireless charge not working

Hi martinvan, I am having the same issue as you.

Is the "charger's LED on and off" issues gone completely after updating to new firmware 2C54?

Never happen again? If yes, I will wait for Apple to roll out a new firmware patiently.

As my AirPods Pro stuck on firmware 2B588 and I am not able to test it. Thanks.

Hi Shanesnh, my AirPods Pro is on firmware 2B588 and I am actually using Belkin BOOST UP BOLD 10W wireless charger. My AirPods Pro did charge to 100% and not too slow. (Like 1.5-2hrs from 50% to 100%) But I am having the same issues as martinvan which is below:

"My charger has that white led indicator to show if its recognizing a device and charging it. With the AirPods Pro, the white indicator of the charger is turning on and off every couple of minutes. BUT even when the charger white led is off (not recognizing device) and I double-tap on the AirPods case, the AirPods Pro are still showing either amber or green led which means that they are charging (showing amber led when it is under 90% and showing green led when it is above 90%). So charger is showing "not charging" (every couple of minutes) and AirPods Pro is showing "charging" (all the time)."

May I know what is your situation? Are you facing the same issues as me and martinvan? Or your AirPods Pro does not even charge with Belkin BOOST UP charger? Thanks for your reply.

Yes, all of the chargers would light up for a few moments as if they are charging, turn off for a few minutes, turn back on, etc. But I had no way to check the charge level as tapping the AirPods only shows green or red -- not a percentage. I just saw that all of the chargers (including Belkin and mophie) would indicate to me by its light that it has stopped charging. If I waited a few mins, it would turn the light back on as if it was charging again, and repeat. Occasionally, both the chargers would flash at me indicating metal was detected and charging would fail entirely (Belkin flashed amber and mophie flashed white as mophie only has one white colored LED).

So yeah it is basically the exact same thing because all of us have the exact same APP hardware and they are all exhibiting this behavior. It's documented well on reddit and other sites and Apple has been silent about it -- just as they have been silent about the ANC issue (which they just have me yet another NEW APP for that issue but of course both of these problems still remain -- but hey, I'll take a brand new set of AirPods under my AppleCare if that's what they think they should give me)

I was having the same problem but I think I’ve figured out what’s wrong with it(or mine) at least.

Make sure your wireless charging pad is compatible and working, etc.

Solution: charge only the case with no AirPods in it. If I put AirPods in the case and then put it on the charging pad, it won’t work. It will show my AirPods as charging but my case won’t save any battery.

I’m assuming it’s because if the AirPod is in the case when on a wireless charging pad, then it will always continue to transfer the energy to the AirPod without storing it for itself. Kind of like how some power banks won’t store any battery(or really slow) if it’s plugged in to the outlet and a device at the same time.

Inconvenient but at least I know my case isn’t broken.

Ah, I see. Yeah it's similar to my case but mine is just silicone. I think your charger just happens to be one of the working ones. I wonder what the real underlying issue is...

fasheezy,

Unfortunately I do not charge wirelessly, so I'm no help there. Sorry.

I’ll order the same ones and give them a try. I’ll report after I test them.

Interesting, I have yet to experience this issue with my AirPods Pro on my Nomad charger.

Same thing happens with the Yootech Charger. It randomly stops charging. It took 2 hours to go from 60% to 90% which doesn't seem right.

Exact same experience with a new Anker charger pad, which has no problem charging iPhone X, light goes on APP case briefly, then case doesn’t charge no matter how long they’re left.

so when you tap on the case, there is not a red led showing up ?

I meet same problem with Samsung Dual wireless charge. It’s stop un few minitues and hot. Were you fixed ?

I know that’s not a solution but it’s proving the overheating theory. So at least we know the issue
