QI Charger Acting Weird

Yes, I already know you all are going to say RTFM! However, my manual isn't here.

I am seeing flashing yellow and green lights on the charger and my Galaxy S7 is freaking out. I shut off the QI and restart and it charges the phone normally for a bit then starts flashing and going crazy again. When the two lights flash the phone doesn't charge.

Anyone else seen this? What do the two lights mean? (Cue the "...a trip to the dealer" replies...)

 

Taken from the manual:

An amber indicator is illuminated while charging is in progress. When charging is complete, a green indicator will also be illuminated. Some phones, cases or cover type wireless chargers may not cause the green indicator to illuminate even though it is fully charged.

■If the wireless charger LED indicators flash
If the wireless charging surface of the tray becomes too hot, the LED indicators will flash and charging is canceled. The LED indicators will be illuminated if the surface of the tray cools down.

If the LED indicators flash even though the surface of the tray is not hot, the wireless charger may be malfunctioning. Consult your Toyota dealer.



BTW, you can download a PDF of the manual, it makes it a lot easier to navigate and you can read it while you are taking care of other business.

 

@daddy_o awesome thanks! Phone was warm but not hot. It Is 91 degrees here in El Centro though. A.C. was on in truck set to 74 degrees. Wonder if I have a problem.

 

Mine does it if my phone battery gets hot or in the winter if I forget to turn the charger off and it sots outside in freezing weather.

 

I have an s7 allso mine charges fine until I get a notification. Once the green notification light starts to flash the phone quits charging. If I clear the notification it'll charge again.

 

Mine started doing this the other day but it did not feel very hot. Just another thing going wrong on my Turd Gen is my guess.

 

I just had this happen to my ‘17 Tacoma, but the next time I started the truck up, the issue was gone.. I’ll keep an eye on it now tho.

 

I had this happen recently at dealership nonetheless. Truck will be on, phone is placed on pad , charger turned on,
Phone charges for a second, lights on pad start to blink. Charger turned off, then on again still blinking....shut truck off to reset, this works 50% of time.
