I broke down and brought in my 17 gen2 premiere to have the problem looked at and chatted with the Volt tech who checked it out. Per the tech many customers come in complaining about the problem that do not have approved phones so step one was confirming my phone was approved. Step 2- He checked my Nexus' settings because he said some phones require a setting to activate the feature which on my phone was not required. After doing all this with me and confirming it does not work he said he then sends an incident report on to GM requesting a fix. He felt if enough customers do what I did they will improve the feature with some type of fix because the wireless charging feature does not, you know, actually work in most cases.
I'd like to encourage everyone to do what I did if you share the problem.
P.S. he also did 2 recalls that I was unaware of so I would say the trip was worth it.
P.S.S. I suppose I might be more motivated than many because I traded in a perfectly good phone for the Nexus just to be able to use the wireless charger.
P.S.S.S. I also am motivated because I hate having my phone exposed since they moved the usb port from INSIDE the console to OUTSIDE the console in gen2 not thinking about the security implications.
So PLEASE GM fix this asap.
