That’s interesting. My phone has been getting very hot while it was charging on the stand.
Part of that is because in addition to wireless charging, I’m teathering using the Pixel’s hotspot. I don’t have internet in my place right now, because Google Fiber hasn’t finished installing internet in my building.
Reducing features, like hotspot, that cause the phone to heat up faster seem to allow the phone to stay charging rapidly longer.
If I need to charge my phone quickly and use internet. I suppose I could just throw it in the fridge for a minute or two and then throw it back on the stand.
I’m going to mark this as the solution.
