Nomad Base Station Apple Watch Edition

[rencar12]

Bought a brand new Nomad Base Station Apple Watch Edition here in the UK, from one of their official retail partners.

Very pleased with it, as it works well.

However, it charges fine, but on my base station, the three orange LED's on the front never turn white, despite the devices being fully charged.

I've noticed that when I plug the power cable in, all three front LED's show orange briefly as the device is powered up. On a Youtube video I saw, when they did the same, they lit up white?

Does anyone else notice this and is it a fault?

Mine doesn’t turn turn white either for what it’s worth

Thanks for your reply.

I did hear back from Nomad's official support:

"Thanks so much for reaching out and I apologize for my delayed help. Our product team has noticed this same shortcoming in our latest production of the Base Station Apple Watch Editions. It seems that there was a firmware update that will not allow the LEDs to change from orange to white any longer. This has been a project in the works for them, and they are working hard to improve the next firmware update. Overall, the LEDs will light up when the device is on the pad, but will not change to indicate when the device is fully charged.

I apologize again for this shortcoming on behalf of our whole team. Please let me know if this brings up any additional questions or concerns. I am happy to help!"

Not a deal breaker but would be nice to know...guessing it’s not like an over the air update would work either

My new base station worked great for a few days, but now won’t charge my phone. My watch and AirPods still charge, but not the phone. I’ve even taken the phone out of the case, and still not charging. Does the phone battery have to be a certain %, before the Nomad will charge it. The phone charged just fine on it the first few days.

Do y’all think the latest iOS update is the culprit?

Mine lights up white after fully charged, had it for about a year now. Are you letting it charge past 100% or are you taking it out right after? It doesn’t turn white as soon as it hits 100%.

The Nomad Base Station looks good but the only thing I don’t like is that it doesn’t allow the phone to stand upright so you can see the display unless you pick up the phone or are sitting next to it. I prefer the design of the Belkin Boost Up Wireless Dock although it only charged the phone and watch. There is a USB A connection though so I guess you could use that to charge a third device.

It charges 3 devices

I think you misunderstood me. I was referring to the Belkin not charging three devices wirelessly. The Nomad does but I’m not keen on the fact the phone lies flat so you can’t see what’s displaying on there easily.

I’ve been having a problem with my phone not charging all night on it. Seems like it‘ll stop after a couple hours at 80% and never go beyond that sometimes. Might try tuning off optimized battery charging setting.

Have you tried charging the phone by plugging it into a wall charger ? Does the same thing happen ?

Nope charges normally on wall and other wireless chargers. Last night it did go to 100 with that setting off. Will have to continue testing.

How is the firmware updated?

 

[EdMan]

Mine goes back and forth. I've had it since May or so. Sometimes it turns white other times it stays orange. Sometimes unplugging it helps. But then it will go back to staying orange even when fully charged.

Is this product from Best buy the same thing? It's weird they give it such a different name.

mine never turns white and I put it on charge when I go to bed at 11pm and get up at 7am. does seem odd as the air pods are fully charged and that won't turn white either.

Nevermind.

 

[kitenski]

can you turn the LEDS off on this at all?

Guys, how do you place AirPods Pro for a stable charge?
