Iphone 8 plus wireless charging problem

I have an Iphone 8 plus on IOS 11.0.1 now Whenever my phone get full charged on wireless charging, it always showed recharging indicator and beep sound (that seems like disconnect and reconnect). This only happen when my phone fully charged. I have tested out in 3 pads and get same result (doesn’t happen on my galaxy s8 - i use samsung, and nokia original qi wireless charging pad) . Any solution for this?

iPhone 8 Plus, iOS 11

From what I read, the phone will limit charging after 80% if it senses that the batter is getting too warm. It does this to preserve the life of the battery.How to wirelessly charge your iPhone 8 or iPhone 8 Plus - Apple Support

Hi brian

That’s not how the wireless charging worked

I use it from 2012 since Lumia 920, usually if the phone is fully charged only the indicator light will showed it to you not the phone

In this case the phone keep disconnect and reconnect to charging (samsung convertible pad). So many friends here are facing the same issue with that pad.

I am using a Tyler wireless charger as well and when my phone hits 100% it will disconnect and reconnect to the wireless charger and keep doing that repeatedly to the point I have to remove my phone from the wireless charger in the middle of the night because it keeps waking me and my husband up.


Has anyone found a fix other than buying a charger from Apple? The Tylt charger has worked on every android wireless phone I have ever owned that was Qi compatible.

I also have the Samsung Wireless Convertible Charger and the part that concerns me is the fact that the light on the front stays blue the whole time even past 100%. When I put my co workers Note 8 on it for 10 min at 100% it turns green. I want to be sure by using this charger I am not overcharging my phone. There are other Qi chargers out there that turn green as if they have stopped charging the device when it is full. I want to know if this is a charger I should be returning and getting something else?


Has anyone got their light on this charger to turn green at any point when at 100%?

Yeah I am reading that. Also want to state this is on an iPhone X.


Some other chargers have videos on youtube where the lights change as it hits 100. I wonder if this is samsung making this a samsung only feature or if this is a software issue with the phone not communicating to the device correctly. I also dont want to burn out or overheat the device itself if it is on 100% of the time and not knowing it can turn itself off. This might be more of an issue when fast charging is available on the iphone and this pad will get hotter when on the whole time.


I guess I just want the product to work the way it should.

Again, when the phone has reached a fully charged state, it will stop receiving a charge. Just like it would using the supplied charging brick that came in the box with the phone. It just stops charging per the circuitry built into the phone. There's no light on the brick to indicate a full charge has been received. It simply stops charging. A charging pad would realistically make no difference. On my iPhone X, when it's charging it's just slightly warm while charging. When I get up in the morning and take my phone off the charging pad I use and the phone is fully charged, it's not warm, because the phone stopped receiving a charge as its designed to do.

Sorry if what I said in the second post was confusing. I was saying if it communicated correctly to the device and the light turned green it would turn the device off. I was talking about the overheating and longevity of the device itself. Im glad to know the phone wont overcharge though.


I just want the item I got to work the way it was made to, but im glad the phone is safe.


btw thanks for the responses and the time.

Mine also doesn’t turn green. It only turn green when i am charging my s8

But i think that wouldn’t be a problem, iphone is behaving the same on every pad (like my nokia DT-900, it doesn’t blink when it was fully charged)


I dont know belkin and mophie are behaving the same way or opposite

Anyone?

im using the mophie one and when its fully charged, the LED stays on. im not worried about it as on mophie's website, it says it has overcharged protection. (http://www.mophie.com/wireless-base) im sure smartphones nowadays will have protection against overcharging, as it is very common for ppl to leave it on a charger at night. so i would say no need to worry about it.
