Jeda Issues with iPhone 12

[streetskooler]

I have a 2018 model 3 so it didn’t come with wireless charging. I purchased the original Jeda wireless charger and have been pretty happy. We just got new the iPhone 12 (had iPhone X previously) and it doesn’t work with a case on. I take the case off and it works. I’ve tried 2 cases one from Apple and one 3rd party, no dice.

I see Tesla now sells a wireless chargers but it the website says they’re not compatible with cars built before June 2020, why? Any other thoughts? Buy a new jeda? I see another company called Nomad makes them are they reliable?

thanks!

Not that it helps much but I can confirm the 12 Pro works fine with the Apple Silicone case in the 2021 refresh so I don’t think is has to do with the MagSafe added in the iPhone 12 at least.

Thanks. Ya at first I thought it was MagSafe but it works fine on all my other Qi chargers. I think it’s a Jeda issue...

The thicker the case the more problems you are going to have with wireless charging. Is the case on your Iphone 12 thicker than the case you had on the IPhone X?

Nah, both leather cases from Apple. My wife’s phone is the silicone kind and doesn’t work either.

I have the same issue as well. Probably going to just buy a new wireless pad or try to modify the one I have.

Contact Jeda and see if they have a solution.

My $40 Taptes wireless charger works just fine

Our Iphone 12 with Apple silicone case works fine with the Nomad charger. My IPhone 11 Pro Max also works fine with it. I have my doubts whether the Iphone 12 Pro Max will work though because the 11 Pro Max is so big it leaves no room to spare to fit on the pad. The 12 Pro Max is slightly taller which leads me to wonder if it’s just too big to work. Hopefully someone will buy one and try it out and report back to us.

I am trying my new iPhone 12 Pro Max on the TapTes wireless charger I put in there, there is no way it will fit vertically with any kind of case on it. Thank goodness, this is the TapTes charger that has a horizontal option. It works fine in that position.

Glad to report Nomad charger and Apple clear case works. Only issue is if you close the lid of the console. When you open it, the phone rolls down

I’m guessing the Nomad charger won’t fit the Iphone 12 Pro Max either, and it does not have an option for horizontal charging. So I won’t be upgrading to the 12 Pro Max any time soon.

The 12 Pro Max fits with the nomad

Are you using a case? I have a Spigen case on my 11 Pro Max which is fairly thick. It just barely fits with no room to spare.

I also have a Jeda wireless charger and iPhone 12 Pro. I noticed that when setting the phone down on the charger normally and letting it rest on the bottom lip of the charger, it doesn't charge. However, if I move the phone upwards about 2cm and hold it there for a second, then it will charge, and I can set it back down on the lip and it will continue charging.

I’m using the Apple clear case and fits fine. Only problem is if you close the lid, when you open it again the phone slides down

I have the 12 Pro Max with Apple leather case and bought the Tesla wireless charger. It doesn't work. The phone can't slide down enough to engage the coil. If I take the case off, it works fine.

I slid the phone dock bar (bottom plastic piece) off the charger temporarily. With that off, the phone with the case on can slide down the 3mm needed and engages charging. The simple fix is a replacement plastic piece at the bottom that isn't as thick. I doubt Tesla is going to offer one. Perhaps someone will make one.

Wanted to report back. I bought the Nomad charger and it works great. I must say it's much nicer than my old Jeda charger. Wasn't thrilled having to buy a new charging pad to me it's worth it.

Using a Spigen case on my 12 Pro Max with the Nomad charger and you basically have to wedge it in, but it works!

If you look online you will see there are tons of iPhone 12 and iPhone 2020 SE users that have issues with wireless charging. Specifically, wireless chargers that are only connect via USB (no charging brick). This has been an issue for me since the very first IOS14 Beta. I think this is a software issue that Apple has yet to acknowledge or fix.

My phone will start to charge and stop after ~10 seconds. It will continue to charge on/off if I just leave it on the charger. Sometimes I actually get a charge and other times by battery life doesn't budge.
