iPhone 12 Pro Wireless Charging Issues

I bought the Torras case for my iPhone 12 Pro Max when I bought the phone. I had issues with my old charger, but have been problem free using a wireless charging stand made by Geekera. This charger has been referenced a few times above. It works great with this triple charger.

Heres the charger:

Here is the case:

After any iOS update, it's advisable to Force Restart your phone:

• Press and quickly release volume up button
• Then press and quickly release volume down button
• Then press and keep holding the side power button (keep holding past the swipe to power off) until you see the Apple Logo, then let go

Normal wireless charging should be restored when you sign back in to your phone.

I did the update and still had issues.

I then did a firm reset and haven’t had a gap in charging yet.

It might be fixed on the latest update. I’m on the Beta. Make sure to do a firm reset after any updates.

For those of you who are willing to try this, I suggest you do a DFU restore. This will install the latest version of the Baseband, and a completely fresh copy of iOS on the phone. A DFU restore has cured issues for some people who were having dropped calls with iPhone 12's. Maybe it would cure this charging issue too. No harm in trying.

Agreed, but I have yet to see many specific case & charger combinations that resolve this issue (until Apple resolves it with iOS). I have posted what is working for me ( CHOETECH Wireless Charger 10W with TORRAS Shockproof iPhone 12 Case, but I am not happy with the case. The Otterbox defender for iPhone 12 is what I prefer, but does not seem compatible with any wireless charger with iPhone 12 Pro. I don't see many posts specifying what case they use when it works or not, so it's not much help until they do.

Sadly, car makers along with stand makers made assumptions as to where the Qi coil would be and this is the result.

You can try turning the phone 180° and see if it charges then, otherwise it just won’t.

Thats similar to the answer with some stands; they will charge in landscape mode but will no longer work in portrait mode due to Qi coil alignment issues with iPhone 12 family phones.

I have the same issue with my Mercedes GLA - my dealer tested the in-car charger with a couple of android phones and it worked as expected. He also tried it with an iPhone 12 Pro and Max, and a couple of older models of iPhone and none of them charged.

I spoke to Apple over the phone and they said it’s likely to be a software issue, they are looking into it but couldn’t give any indication as to if and when it will be fixed. My iPhone 12 Pro Max charges fine on my Belkin wireless charging pad at home. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Resetting my network settings did not work for my two 12 pros. Phones charge on belkins wireless charger only and not mophie

I have my replacement phone now. It’s working flawless for now. Works on my wireless charger built in to my truck and my house wireless charger.

Apple sent me a replacement phone yesterday. I reported the issue to them last Thursday and they sent me a replacement that is working properly so far.

I just got the new software update and my wireless charging feature is working perfectly now- I use the belkin stand up 10w.

And you know I changed out our Qi chargers to newer dual coil, with higher watt QC3.0 bricks and haven't had any issues now for a couple months.

I have switched to a MagSafe charger from RAVPOWER and have not had to reboot my iPhone 12 Pro to get it to wireless charge in some time.

Otterbox cases are known to have issues with MagSafe charging on the newest phones. Their cases may be too thick. If the phone charges without the case, it's the case at fault, not the phone.

I’ve spoken with Apple Support concerning this issue. They’ve documented and sent it the issue along with my phone diagnostics records to the developers at Apple. I’ll get a call back in a couple days to discuss the issue and what actions will be taken to remedy it. If you haven’t done so already and your having issues charging your iPhone 12 or 12 Pro you need to contact Apple support and start a support case.
