Latitude 5300 2-in-1 and 5400 Chromebook: Google Pixel 3 Phone Does Not Charge when the Laptop Resumes from Sleep

Does your Google Pixel 3 Phone fail to charge on your computer after resuming from sleep?

The Google Pixel 3 Phone can be charged after resuming from sleep, but it takes some time to show it. It takes over one minute to see that the charging icon appears on the phone.

This is seen when you connect the Phone to the left or right USB Type-A connectors which are near the audio jack connector on your laptop. Once the laptop enters sleep, the Google Pixel 3 Phone takes some time to see the charging icon on the phone. However, it can detect the phone content straight away.

This is not a problem with your laptop, rather it is an issue with how the Pixel 3 Phone's charging works:

• The Google Pixel 3 Phone has both a slow and a fast charge.
• The left and right USB Type-A connectors which are near the audio jack connector on your laptop only provide a slow charge.
• For the Google Pixel 3 Phone to change to fast charge, you must click Connected device under USB Preferences on the Google Pixel 3 Phone. The Google Pixel 3 Phone can now be charged. (Showing the charge mode.)
