Why does my wireless charging pad stop working when a metal watch sits nearby?
Our answer
Metal interferes with Qi coil alignment; remove the watch and centre the phone on its proper charging zone.
Why this approach makes sense
Device software, permissions and connected services change how a feature behaves; use settings for the actual model rather than a generic workaround.
Before you try it
Verify the relevant device and account permissions, and make changes one at a time.
