I bought two Pixel Stands when I bought my Pixel 4.
One seems to charge fine, the other one charges intermittently, just charges with the white light on the stand glowing occasionally and then it glows amber occasionally and jumps back and forth.
I do have a Spigen Liquid Air case on my phone. If I didn't have two Pixel Stands, I would have put it down to having a case on it, but why does it work on one stand and not the other ? Do I have a faulty stand ? Surely one of my Pixel stands is not better than the other !
When I take my phone out of the case and put it on the suspected faulty stand it works fine !!!
Any thoughts please, apart from ditching the phone Spigen case ?
Did you get the stands from Amazon? Because those units are pretty hit-or-miss.
Both from the Google UK store, however, since posting this, I seem not to be having the issue again !!!

I now have both of the above, both cost around £9 -£12, and both serve different purposes.
The white leather case is good in that it protects the screen, it keeps the phone low profile (ie it still feels thin even with the case on) and it protects the camera lens by raising the lip slightly. It also props the phone up at an angle for watching films etc.
Downside is that it can feel a bit awkward when making calls because of the leather cover and also when using the camera. Not too bad though in reality.
The battery case on the other hand does bulk up the phone a bit, so it feels larger (bit like a galaxy note) but actually does still look good (IMO). So far it does also seem to work. Not tested it extensively, but people reckon it will charge your phone back up by 40%. If I was going to have a long day I would switch to this case. The kickstand is a bit flimsy and so will probably not use it much, but it does click into place so it stays out of the way and does not flop around.
Anyway, pics attached so you can make up your own minds. I have put a Duracell AA battery in shot for size comparisons.
Do they do that kick stand case in black? I want it looks awesome
Oddly enough I have not seen a black version. But hey, I am new to the One X so there may be.
Damn that's annoying, I really like it
Where did you get it from fella?

Be careful - it seems the black one is for the One S and the clear one for the One X
could you let us know how long the battery lasts? or to what % it can charge the phone gain?
would also be nice to know how long you need to fully charge the battery case
thank you!

I think what it says on the box is quite accurate - it took about 7-8 hours to charge when attached to a pc USB socket.
When my phone got down to 51% I put it in the case and used that to charge it, (not using it whilst I charged it) and it took it back to 100%. Case was then expired.
Hmmm.
Had the phone in the white case in my jeans pocket over the weekend. The edges look a little frayed and have picked up a blue tint. (edges of the case that is).

I can't comment on the rate of charging yet since I just got this in. My 1st impressions are good. It is super easy to set up, just plug it in and go. The charger does not care what angle you have you phone at. I have tested it in several different angles and it always charges. I also did not have a problem charging with a case on either. I test it with a Spigen Slim Armor and Ringke Fusion case and both case had no effect on charging. On the front of the charger there is a small light to let you know the phone is charging. The phone does not slide off the charger, the charging plate is made of a hard plastic. I don't think I will be going back to wired charging, I will need to pick up a few more of these.

Charging, it does not matter what angle you place the phone on it.
Charging with a Spigen Slim Armor case, no problem
Charging no problem with a Ringke Fusion case.
Thanks for the pictures! Let us know about charging times. It's too bad the charger does not use micro USB, that might prevent me from getting it as apposed to an Anker Qi charger.

How does this work charging overnight? I'm particularly concerned about the screen turning on when it does its periodic spurts after reaching 100%. Does the screen end up staying on all night?
I know this is offtopic but can you maybe upload some pictures of the ringke fusion case on the phone. I have ordered it but some useres here say the quality is VERY bad. I just saw photos without phone inside.

I've got one of these chargers and the screen doesn't turn by itself whilst using it due to either connection or disconnection.
i.e. You can pick the phone up from the charger and put it down and the screen stays off.
Excellent, thanks! This will be my first foray into wireless charging.

Just sharing one way to turn it from a flat charging pad to a nice landscape elevated dock for those of us that like to have the phone visible in bed with the clock at night. Took a couple of empty allergy pill bottles, removed the lids, taped them together with some packing tape and used some of that rubber matting people use for their kitchen drawer liners cut to wrap up the front, over the top, down the back and around underneath to the front with a nice lip for the charger and phone so they won't slip. Put a couple pieces of tape from the bottom of the bottles to hold the rubber matting in place on the lower side and it works like a charm.
As for the charger, the charger works great. I have no problems with battery drain and daydream clock running all night. I lay the phone down and it instantly starts charging. Only had the charger a couple of days and will eventually get a real solution, but it was a cheap, easy way to get my phone sitting up and thought it might help some others who get this.

thanks dude :good:
I ordered 3 of them, ill let you guys know they treat me.
Can I ask if it beeps when you lay the phone on it? I was looking for some for the bedroom nightstands, but if they beep, they would wake up my wife every time I use the phone.
Nice, I ended up ordering two from ATT. They come today. Funny thing is ATT sent me tracking that links to fedex but is actually a USPS number for priority two day USPS...

It beeps once when you place the phone on the charger.

No beeps, thank god. a tiny light in the front edge of the charger. Just got mine yesterday and so far seems pretty good. Seem like don't need to align perfectly to charge.

No it does not beep or make any sort of noise. The led light is soft and is mostly blocked by the phone if u place it right so it did not bother me being on my bed side night stand.
Thank you guys!

The charger is perfect! Definitely worth it for $25 via att. Planning on on getting another one.
I'm very new to the wireless charing world.
How will wireless charing work with cases on the new 3 XL?
Are there certain types of cases that will work better than others?

Anyone recommend the pixel stand charger?
You really should've posted this is the Q&A section, however yes wireless charging works even with case though some manufactures recommend removing the case to best utilize the feature. Can't comment on the pixel stand but I have the Nomad Base Hub Edition and it works well. Pricey @ $100, but it's essentially what apple tried and failed (so far, hope they will figure it out) with their AirPower mat.
A super super thick case might pose a problem, but otherwise it usually isn't an issue. I have a Spigen Neo Hybrid and the Pixel Stand and it works perfectly fine.

Thanks for your reply! I posted here as I thought with my questions it might get into specific charger/case combos, thus more of an accessory type thread.
Despite claims to the contrary, the Otterbox Defender case does cause problems charging your phone on the Pixel Stand. When on the stand in its case, my phone charging will start and stop constantly. Without the case it charges normally.
I have the Pixel 3 XL and just purchased the Pixel Stand for it. I have one picture each in the two Google Photo Albums that I have to choose from, but the Pixel Stands still shows me many awesome photo's while using the stand. Does anyone know where these images are being sourced from? I would like to access them to make wallpaper's out of some of them.
this is unfortunate because it is my favorite case but the Speck Presidio Grip case is iffy at best with the Pixel stand. Slow charges and disconnects randomly. However, it works just fine with other wireless flat chargers
Spigen Tough Armor for Pixel 3 XL works with fast charging Pixel Stand and slow charge TYLY Vu wireless charger
Kind of stunned to find there is basically nothing out there. This looks intriguing https://i-blades.com/products/pixel-4-smart-case-battery-memory-enviro-sensor-cases-sdcard but I can't tell if it's shipping, the cushioning looks really thin and it's like, you added an SD slot but you couldn't do a headphone jack??
Has anyone found anything else?
So there was 1 option on amazon from the company called "NEWDERY" but I think they're all sold out. They only have ones left for the 4 XL. I actually can't even find the listing anymore, about a week ago the listing was on amazon but it said that it was out of stock and now the listing is just gone. So I guess we'll just have to wait and see. You would think more companies would hop on this because our battery is so bad, but I guess not.

I have the newdery one, except I got mine from amazon in the US. It's great. Wireless charging works and I like that the bottom has no huge chin like some old school battery cases used to have. There is a button on the back next to LED battery life indicators for the case. Press and hold to turn on or off. It actually fast charges the phone too. It's obviously thick but it doesn't add much bulk in terms of the width, so it's actually still quite comfortable to hold in the hand. I personally don't use it everyday, i just got it for days I go on long adventures like hiking or theme parks.
Hi everyone, I've got the new Pixel Stand 2, it seems pretty good, but whenever I put my phone on it, the screen turns off, which is annoying as I use my phone as a night clock. I can't seem to find any settings for behaviour whilst on the stand, can anyone suggest anything?
In the Pixel Stand settings, should be on top right as you put the phone on the stand, there is an option to turn off the display when it is on the stand. Is it dark in the room when you put it on the stand?

I just solved it by finding the stand in the connected devices setting and taking it from there, thanks
Anyone with the Pixel Stand 2 having issues using it with a case? I'm using a Caseology case and it charges much slower, as I assume the coils aren't as flush to the phone with the case.

Yes.
The Spigen Tough Armor case constantly causes a realign message on the display. My Spigen Liquid Air case works fine.

My OnePlus 8 Pro had the same issue with the same case; it would charge very slowly, or not charge at all depending how it was placed on the 30W WARP wireless charger.
More likely it's phones with faster than 15W charging that have these types of issues; thicker cases equals slow, or no charging, at least that's what I've experienced.
