How to Fix OnePlus 13 With Wireless Charging Not Working

Wireless charging is convenient, especially when you just want to drop your phone on a pad and walk away. When it stops working on your OnePlus 13, it can feel like a major downgrade.

The issue is usually related to accessories, alignment, settings, or heat management. The fixes below walk you through the most reliable solutions.

Why Wireless Charging Is Not Working on OnePlus 13

• The charging pad or cable is not compatible or faulty.
• The phone is not aligned properly on the wireless charger.
• A thick case or metal accessory is blocking the charging coil.
• The device is overheating or temperature protection is active.
• Software glitches or outdated system software are interfering.

Check the Wireless Charger and Power Source.

Wireless charging depends heavily on the charger itself. A weak or incompatible pad may light up but fail to deliver power.

1. Place the OnePlus 13 on a different wireless charger, and then connect the charger to a wall outlet.
2. Try another power adapter or cable, and then confirm the charging pad indicator turns on.

If charging works with another pad, the original charger is the problem.

Reposition the Phone on the Charging Pad.

Wireless charging requires precise alignment. Even slight misplacement can prevent charging from starting.

1. Place the OnePlus 13 flat at the center of the charging pad, and then wait a few seconds.
2. Lift the phone slightly and place it back down, and then watch for the charging animation.

Some pads work best when the phone is positioned vertically or slightly higher on the surface.

Remove the Phone Case and Accessories.

Cases with thick rubber, metal rings, or magnetic plates can block wireless charging. This is especially common with wallet cases.

1. Remove the phone case completely, and then place the OnePlus 13 on the charger.
2. Take off any magnetic accessories, and then test wireless charging again.

If charging starts working, consider using a thinner case designed for wireless charging.

Let the Phone Cool Down.

If your OnePlus 13 is too warm, wireless charging may pause to protect the battery. This usually happens after gaming, navigation, or fast wired charging.

1. Remove the phone from the charger, and then let it cool for several minutes.
2. Place it back on the wireless pad in a cool area, and then check if charging resumes.

Avoid charging in direct sunlight or on heat-trapping surfaces like beds or couches.

Restart the Phone.

Temporary system glitches can interfere with charging features. A restart refreshes system services and power management.

1. Press and hold the Power key, and then tap Restart.
2. Wait for the phone to boot up fully, and then test wireless charging again.

This simple step often fixes charging issues that appear suddenly.

Update System Software.

Software bugs can sometimes affect charging behavior. Keeping your OnePlus 13 updated ensures better compatibility and stability.

1. Open Settings, and then tap System.
2. Tap Software update, and then install any available updates.

After updating, restart the phone before testing wireless charging again.

Wireless charging problems on the OnePlus 13 are usually caused by accessories or positioning rather than hardware failure. Once you find the right setup, charging should work reliably again.
