A few weeks ago I noticed the battery on my Pixel 4XL was almost dead even though the phone had been sitting in the wireless charging cradle overnight. (Anker, not the stupid Google one 
) After repositioning it a few times and failing to get it to charge, I assumed the battery had begun it's death spiral.
While googling replacement batteries, I ran across a lot of information about how the March security update screwed up wireless charging on Pixel 3 or later phones. It was the usual chatter in Google support forums ... "Google sux, Pixel sux ... EVERYTHING sux and i'm getting an iPhone."
And the responses from Google were typically non-committal and dismissive.
"Thank you for contacting Google support. We know we effed up your super expensive phone, but you'll never catch us admitting it, so perform these 37 diagnostic steps to prove they are ineffective -- that is if you don't catch on that step 21 will loop you back to step 2 indefinitely. We appreciate yourgullibility patience."
Anyway ... I pop in every now and then to see if there is any movement on the issue and i come across people claiming that the June update fixed the issue. Of course there were also others who had the June update but still had the problem. I was one of them.
I also saw some claiming that it had to be software/firmware related because if they shut the phone off they could charge it wirelessly, but when on it didn't work.
I powered off my phone and left it on the charger. This morning it was still fully charged. And, when I turned the phone on, it continued to hold the charge, so I think it might be fixed for me.
Any other Pixel owners having the same problem?
