Also if you are just listening to audio and not using apps like google maps, the bluetooth spec has closed loop feedback built in, so that the endpoints will automatically transmit at the lowest strength they need. So temporarily switching to regular bluetooth audio should keep your temperatures in check while doing wireless charging.
I know it isn't ideal but for those experiencing the inability to charge it is an alternative.
The performance issues are a failsafe (throttling) to prevent components or skin temps from overheating. The failure to charge is a failsafe on the battery because you cannot safely charge it above certain temperatures. So unfortunately this is correct behavior.
What the software in the phone SHOULD be doing is on the wifi transmits, it should use metrics to see that the distance to the wifi client (the Sync head unit) is extremely close and it should not be using max transmit strength. Some advanced wifi clients will do that but it could be the Sync unit doesn't send the quality metrics. Most phones are very smart about optimizing the transmit strength, which is why I'm guessing it is the Sync unit wifi not being advanced.
Agree on on accounts, also can be affected by the signal strength to the tower and how much data is being pulled down at any time. In this case I was running Waze and Amazon music. I would notice that the music would start to brake up and then completely stop along with Waze data on the screen. I'm pretty sure the wifi chip shutdown completely each time.
I will admit that I may be exacerbating the problem with the cover that I have as it has a metal ring built in so that it will stick to a magnetic wireless charger in my other car. I'm just going to keep a lightening cord in the center console and pull it out when I need to charge. The wired charging is much faster anyway.
