For posterity: I’ve had adaptive charging off this week. Last night, I plugged in my phone to charge. It charged overnight. When I woke, it was at 80%, and I had the message. This is normal behavior, because the phone was ON the charger. I removed the cable, but the message did not go away. The charging icon is also still on (lightning icon on the battery), though the battery level is going down as it is not plugged in. This is slightly different behavior from before, but still confusing. Before, phone was not plugged in and charging icon turned on. Now, phone was plugged in, and charging icon stays on when phone is removed from charger.
However, tldr, turning off adaptive charging has not remedied the issue.
Love it!
Yep, I agree with you. I think the customer service representative just didn’t know what to make of the problem. They picked up on the fact that I use adaptive charging, and everything I got after that from them was telling me that this is how it works. I reiterated that it is doing this when not plugged in, but then we were going in circles, so I just said thank you and left.
If it happens again, maybe I will get a different rep and have more success.
So, just asked Google Customer service about it. The answer does not make sense to me, but they said “Adaptive Charging on a Google Pixel phone may show the charging symbol even when it’s not plugged in because it charges to one hour before you unplug it.” They also told me several times that “You shouldn’t worry about it”.
This is not very satisfying, and doesn’t make sense, but it wasn’t going anywhere. I’m going to try turning off adaptive charging, because maybe it’s just really confused what my schedule is?
I did a visual inspection and I don’t see any build up. I generally clean the exterior of the phone regularly, because my skin is sensitive to sweat. So I keep things I touch regularly clean. (Phon, computer mice, keyboard, etc). I could just stick a toothpick in there and gently move around just to see if it knocks anything clear? I don’t want to damage anything by trying to fix it though, lol.
