Check Both Mobile and Anker Wireless Charger
Before doing anything, you must be clear about what part of your case is creating a problem with charging your iPhone.
Therefore, check your iPhone and Anker wireless charger, which is actually not working. It is straightforward to find which part is the reason for the problem.
Just try to check your iPhone with some other wireless charger to see if it is working or not, and in the same way, check your Anker wireless charger with another mobile or device if it is charging that mobile/device.
If your iPhone is charging well with another charger, it means it has no problem. But if the charger does not charge another device, it is evident that your charger has some issues with charging.
Whatever your case, don’t worry, I will explain how to fix both problems.
Power Source
If your Anker wireless charger is creating a problem in charging, then first check the power source carefully, i.e., the wall plug, power adapter, and USB charging cable you are using.
Wireless charging is weaker than wired charging; therefore, it needs more attention to recheck all the things related to the power supply that power source is providing enough power to the changing pad.
Change the wall plug you are using to check if maybe the wall plug is not compatible and not providing enough power.
In the same way, check the power adapter has a compatible output of the power, i.e., 10W. Use some other power adapter with your Anker wireless charger.
Also, check the charging cable you are using with your charger. Try different charging cables or check the connection of the charging cable with the power adapter and charging pad.
Find the main problem by checking your wall plug, power adapter, and charging cable, and fix it by replacing it with another one.
Note:- iPhone 5V / 1A stock charger and computer USB ports are not compatible with Anker wireless charger because they do not give sufficient power to the charging pad. Always use the power adapter having minimum 2A output.
Restart your iPhone
Maybe your iPhone has some software issues or bugs and requires a restart. Simply restart your iPhone and check it with Aker wireless charger.
Long press the power button of your iPhone till the power slider appears. Slide the power-off switch from left to right.
Your mobile display will be black because your device is powered off.
Again long, press the power button to turn on your iPhone till the Apple logo appears. Your mobile is restarted, and now it fixes the minor bugs.
Place it on the charging pad and check if it is charging or not.
Hard Reset
If Anker wireless charger is still not charging your iPhone, a hard reset may fix the problem.
Here are some steps you may follow to hard reset your mobile.
- Quickly press and release the volume up button
- Then press and release the volume down button
- Then press and hold the side button
- Keep holding the side button until the Apple logo appears
It’s done, and your device is reset.
Try to charge it again and place it at the center of the charging pad. Check if it works or not.
DFU Restore your iPhone
If the restarting and hard reset do not work, then the next step is to DFU restore your iPhone. DFU means “Device Firmware Update.”
It is the most profound type of restoring your iPhone.
Follow these steps to DFU to restore your iPhone.
- Connect your iPhone with a computer or laptop and open iTunes. Then open finder if you have Mac running macOS Catalina 10.15 or newer.
- Press and hold the sleep/wake button and home button or volume down button for at least 6 seconds or the volume down button for 8 seconds.
- After 8 seconds, release the sleep/wake button but hold the home button or volume down button press until your iPhone appears in iTunes or finder.
- Let’s release the home button or volume down button, and your iPhone display will be completely black if you have successfully entered DFU mode. If it’s not, try again from the first step.
- Restart your iPhone with iTunes or finder
Now it’s done, and you must plug in your Anker wireless charger with a suitable power source and place your mobile at the center of the charging pad.
Check whether it works or not.
Check your iPhone Case.
Check the case of your iPhone. It might interfere with the charging process if it had anything of metal material.
Wireless charging is based on a magnetic induction process, and interference of any metal may interrupt the charging process.
Ensure that there is nothing in the mobile case like pins, credit cards, metal plates, etc. if you have any, then remove them and try to charge your mobile again.
Also, check that if you are using a thick mobile case, it may create a problem in charging. As we already discussed, wireless charging is weaker than wired charging, so a thicker mobile case can cause interruption.
If your mobile case is thicker than 5mm, then remove it and try to charge your mobile. Anker wireless charger can charge your device if you use a mobile case thicker than up to 5mm.
Anker replacement warranty
If all the above fixes do not work and your Anker wireless charger is still not charging your iPhone, then you can contact Anker’s support team.
If your charger has any replacement warranty, return it and replace it with another one. Because if all fixes do not work, then it is clear that your Anker wireless charger has some hardware or manufacturing issue.
