It's because the Motorola micro USB cable that comes with any Moto phone is a piece of ****. At least in Brazil. I have the same problem with the cable, but any other cable (from Nokia to generic ones) works better than it.

I concur with you.. Sadly that problem just started with another cable (nokia and some htc ones).. my piece of **** original moto cable got dumped since the begining. But this galsr contact hapens with any cable or charger :-(
I will send it to motorola and i hope its under warranty of not then locally ficit when it gets back

I am surprised the moto cables aren't working out for you guys. The ones that came with my phones in the US work great, and have yet to see one fail out of maybe a dozen I have used over that last few years. I even had some monoprice cables that went out before the Moto ones.
Anyway, if you have to fix it yourself, and were planning on soldering the piece, it looks like the kind that has to be done on a rework station, as the row of contacts looks to be hidden under the usb's shield.

unrelated to my problem
but well both my droid 3 come from US and both usb cables Died the first weeks
the best cables are from nokia. thats the one that most survived and i use now.
Indeed best cables are from Nokia. My Moto cable still works but it's not very good. It seems like a contact issue, the head of the cable is slightly smaller than the slot, making it loose in the phone. Both cables I owned had the exact same problem, with different phones (D2 & D3). But both of them worked very well with Nokia, LG or Samsung cables. It's the cable with a ECOMOTO tag.

So my otherwise adorable 1 year old somehow got his hands on my Captivate this weekend. When we finally caught him, he was chewing and slobbering on it pretty much right where the USB port is. After getting the phone back out of his grubby little hands, my wife and I took it completely apart and have had the whole works soaking in rice for a day or so.
When I put it back together, it booted just fine, and everything seems to be in working order. Except...when I plug a cable into the USB port, it doesn't charge, and it doesn't connect to my computer for storage mounting/flashing. This would be a bit of a problem.
I've checked for obstructions in the port itself and there don't seem to be any. I can get by for now without charging because my wife and I have the same phone (so we can periodically swap batteries...), but she's leaving town for two weeks at the end of this week. I really don't want to have to buy a new phone...so any ideas on fixing this would be greatly appreciated.

Once the USB port is gone its gone, you would need to get an external wall charger for it and a wifi file browser.
there might be some moister in it yet, but generally the captivates had issues with the USB port just flaking out like that. Its a common problem for this phone, and also has happened to mine.
Or you can just pay ~35$ to get it fixed, look in my sig. They are good!

Hmm...I didn't even realize that was an option. I'll be looking into that. Thanks!
They fixed mine and it works great. I would also order a new cable from them for like 7 bucks. It is all well worth it!
interesting, didnt know about that one either
Update:
It's apparently not *quite* as dead as I thought. It's still not recognizing my computer or telling me that it's charging...but apparently it is actually charging my battery. I plugged it into my computer just to see and left it. It never said that the phone is charging, but when I came back a few minutes later the battery meter had gone up, and it's still doing that fairly consistently.
That's at least good news for now. Even if the USB transfer is dead, I'm still OK as long as I can charge. As long as I don't have to use download mode...
That sounds like a bad cable, just buy one of those first, cheaper and easier to check!

It's nothing to do with the cable. We have four USB cables and two different car chargers. It's the same thing with all of them, and they all work perfectly on my wife's phone.

My first Captivate had a USB port go bad.. I tried 10 different cables and decided for some reason it was a ROM issue and got into download mode.. well let's just say I was buying another Captivate the next day.. lol
I did resurrect it by buying a Captivate with a broken screen on Ebay cheap. Combined the two and it's actually a later production and the GPS works good compared to hardly at all before. M yold screen and new guts.. Now I have a spare phone to try new Roms on without messing up my daily driver.. (Dark Knight 4 atm)
I see broke screen Captivates for $40-80 on Ebay regularly..
My wife also has a captivate with a dead USB port. So I went on amazon and searched for captivate batteries and external charger and found a package that came with 2 extended life batteries and the wall charger that charges one separatly from the phone while you use the other in the phine . Its made by Laza wireless and both batteries and charger was 15.99 and shipped free. Got it in two days and works great and was a whole lot cheaper than a phone.

Sorry to resurrect such an old thread but, I have had the same problem for months also caused by a toddler sucking on the phone and cables. I swap batteries daily. stock/1800/2430 mah. I am curious if anyone knows of a wireless charging option. I know my wii batteries are inductive and it is just the new battery and charger on a stock remote. is there an inductive charger and battery available for cappy? is wireless charging dangerous to the phone if it wasnt designed with it in mind? for that matter is anything available for anyother phones besides the lumia 920 and maybe nexus I think?
cheapest, best option is to get the USB port repaired by mobiletechvideos.com, imho.
I know of no induction solution for captivate that works without a good usb port.
I figured and also thought the Cappy wouldn't be a device supported by a new battery developer when there is so many newer ones out.

Hello all,
so, this is driving me nuts. I have two HTC microUSB cables that I've been using with my old phone that for some reason don't seem to work at all with the new xperia T. I can only charge it and connect it using the stock sony cable or the (very long) cable that came with my Kindle. I tried with 3 different wall chargers (Sony, LG and generic wall outlet splitter with USB): all of them charge the phone using Sony and Kindle cable, none using the HTC cables. Anyone has any idea WTF is happening?
Thanks!
Based on my friend's experience, HTC tends to make cables that work only for their device. I'm not 100% sure.
Humans have evolved to be smarter, but there's one thing we can't get rid off. It's human stupidity.

I think there are different versions of the cable, if you take a close look at the end which goes into your phone you may be able to count a different number of connections....

Well, both cables used to charge also my LG p500 without any issue. I'd be more inclined to say that the fault is on Sony's side as of now.

I envy you very much indeed.
So, to sum it up, it can't be anything to do with the phone itself, but it seems to be some kind of incompatibility between the USB plug and socket. This is kinda crappy. Last thing I want is to buy yet another cable. Haven't they decided to use the same standard to avoid this kind of crap???
Thnaks to all of you btw!
Just use the cable that came with the phone for PC connection and the other ones for charging...
They don't work either way. It's like they don't even connect. Point is I don't understand why. It's just a cable. Anyway, thanks for all the input.

Some cables are manufactured not to work with most phones. Just like how we can't use our plug (for the wall socket) to charge an Apple device.

My previous experience doesn't seem to comply with what you just said. I've been exchanging chargers and cables between 1 LG phone, 1 HTC phone and an iPhone 4, and all the combinations work. The problem has arisen with the new Xperia T. I'll go to a Sony center and see what they have to say about it.
Cheers!
The t/x/v have faster higher rated chargers so some old ones don't work, I can't use old 2011 Line charger or moto charger but can use an earlier v8 charger...
If you look closely at the cable there are parts that click into place, if the cable your trying hasn't got these it won't work

As I said, no matter how weak the charger is, I always get power with the sony and Amazon cable, and none with htc ones. It is really annoying. The cables don't seem to have any major physical differences.

Hello. I recently got a mycharge amp2000 as shown in the photo. I have problems with it charging my moto x. When I plug it in it charges for a second then turns red an stops charging. Now normally this would be a problem with the charger but I have tried it with two other devices including my nexus 4 and it worked perfectly on those. That is why I am concerned it is a problem with my moto x. Any ideas?

I have the same exact problem. My wife and I both have the Verizon Moto X and we each have two external changers. These chargers work fine with our friends' phones and with our Nexus 7s, but they don't work with either of our Moto Xs. I don't seem to see much about this issue around the internet, maybe we just have rare bugs?
Strange. I've tried charging my Moto X in my car the other day and for some reason it refused to charge at all. I think it was because I wasn't using the OEM cable. I don't know but I'm curious if the charging port is just touchy on cables or that certain voltages aren't accepted by this phone.
P.S. My sister charges her phone in my car with the exact same cable almost every morning so there is no problem with it as far as I'm concerned.

This.
One of my other usb cables won't charge the moto x but works fine with other phones, not sure why but it's a longer than normal cable so maybe that has something to do with it. In any case, my moto x charges just fine with the oem cable and a couple other cables I have laying around.

Thanks, I think you're right...just tried one of the externals with the OEM cable and now it's working. I wonder what the difference is, shouldn't a cable just be transferring the power from charger to device? I always thought a cable was a cable and it was the power supplies that differed. Either way, it's obnoxious to always have to carry around the long cord. On of the benefits of external chargers is compact portability.
Only complaint about the Moto X, otherwise this thing is great.
I've used my old HTC cables from the Thunderbolt, Motorola cables for the Xoom, LG cables from some LG phone, and Samsung cables from the S3 and Note 2. All of them work with the wall plug, computers, VZW car charger, and my Jackery charger.
What's the difference between the OEM and other cables? All I've used are OEM-labeled cables but have been looking at a 6ft cable (Monoprice, Amazon brand, Mediabridge or something braided/jacketed) off Amazon.
ive been using a motorola phone for a while now. Idk if it is moto specific or not, but some cables work and some don't. I know on my prior phone some cables would charge but not transfer data. Then some would say on my screen (not a compatible charger or not authorized charger or something). Those wouldn't charge most of the time, but sometimes if i turned the phone on then off or did certain weird things they would end up charging even though the not authorized prompt was still on the phone.
I think it probably has something to do with whether the cable can transfer data correctly for the moto phone. If it can't then it won't charge the phone. never had a problem with higher quality cables or cables that came from high quality phones. Only had problems with no brand name cables or older cables.
my two cents.
Alls I know is I've got a bunch of cables and wall plugs laying around and I just use whatever and it works. I've got cables and wall chargers from Samsung phones and tab, nexus tab, kobo, kindle, Motorola (old flip phone), iPhone (wall plug anyway), a Sony camera, Samsung camera, leapfrog tablet, a car diagnostic computer.....um ....that's all I can think of......and they all work and in any combination.

I haven't driven in years due to chronic illness and since my wife has been using the car she's gone through over a half dozen car adapters!
I've tried official Samsung car chargers (two of them), one expensive one from Bell Canada, several that you plug a separate usb cable to and maybe three others that that were simply "generic car chargers"... they simply stop working after a few months and I don't know what else to do.
I'm in Canada so we have cold winters and fairly warm summers and we've tried leaving the chargers in the car all the time (which is what I've done in the past with out problems) and her keeping them in her purse and using it when needed, but they still "die" quickly.
What charger would you recommend for durability? I don't want to spend $50 on a charger, since replacing them every few months isn't an option, but I'll consider anything that works.
Thanks in advance.
http://www.amazon.ca/Anker-18W-3-6A-Car-Charger/dp/B00B8M4IMK/ - highly recommend.
Scosche best IMO
I have used Anker batteries and battery packs and they work well. Their car chargers though I've had issues with, as they never actually put out the output they claim to.
Now, I've used an earlier model Scosche charger from YEARS ago and it's still going strong. I recently upgraded to this one because it truly does put out 2 amps for my Note 2 so it will charge my phone WHILE I'm using it.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003N7NO4Q
Please keep in mind, the usb cable being used does play a HUGE part in how efficiently your phone will charge as well. I ordered the cables pictured here and they work like a champ. Yes, they are fake Samsung cables, but they work better than any other cable I've used for both data and charging.

Thanks. I will check out both recommendations.

I ended up getting the Anker charger... it comes with an 18 months warranty, so we'll see what happens. I'm sure if it was made of solid iron my wife could find a way to damage it somehow... she's also gone through a dozen AC adapters (I've never had to replace mine for any device in the last 15 years...).
Doesn't make sense. Could it be the phone or battery?

I have problem with my Nexus 6 (no warranty) from last two months. Phone is rooted and on 7.0 (from yesterday)
One night I noticed my phone says it is charging over USB when connected to the quick charger so it is charging very slowly (more than 8 hours from 0-100%).
I was using the Qualcomm quick charger and USB Magnetic adapter when it start to do only USB charge. I tried different "regular" chargers and multiple USB cords. All yield the same results. So it seems to be some faulty hardware but I don't know which part.
Also i noticed that PC has stopped recognize it when it's connected - it only show USB charging. I don't have option to set connection to MTP (alternative I found it in developer options - same result)
Already tried:
-different chargers
-different usb cables
-factory reset on marshmallow
-downloaded Nougat on phone and flashed to Nougat rom
I have friend who repair phones, gave it to him - he changed microusb connector - same problem...
I mean phone is working but I really depend on battery. I use it everyday for navigation and my company use Android application for work.
Any ideas?
I have some money to buy another phone but I don't want to change my beloved Nexus - I can't find an alternative phone to replace this beast.
Even i'm suffering from the same problem. (Out of warranty)
I sent it to 2 different repair centers of Motorola in India.
1 changed the port and still the problem persisted.
The other one was a more advanced service center. They took the phone for around 2 months and then they told me there is some hardware problem and it would cost around 60% of the device cost to repair the problem.
On asking the problem, they just kept telling there is some Hardware problem which they couldn't explain but they knew this would repair the device.
Now I'm a student. Somehow i bought a Nexus 6 that too when its prices were at peak (Rs. 48999) with my parents help.
I use it as my only primary gear. Now it takes around 7 hours to fully charge if kept on Airplane mode and that too without using it.
Its just a waste i am keeping because i cannot afford the repair and even cannot but a new Phone.
Choosing Motorola sucked! (I still trust Google and love it)
I saw TK using Nexus 6. I was much excited. I saw all his videos. It was fun but now even he has dumped the device.
Now i just keep on trying my luck on Giveaways by XDA expecting to get a device.
(I was too excited when they had a Pixel Giveaway by Rhinoshield but unfortunately i didn't win)
All my hope is XDA Giveaways coz i can only trust them.

It would be of great help.

That magnetic Micro USB Adapter fried your N6 charging port. This happened to my N6. It exactly what you have described. Fortunately, I have warranty and Motolora sent a replacement unit. It beyond repair. The replacement units was fried again when I used the magnetic POS. So got another replacement. Stay away from that magnetic POS. The seller gave me a full refund without even asked me to return that magnetic POS.

My Nexus 6 is 4 years old, I recently changed the battery by ordering from Amazon n got it installed from service centre then I also replaced the charging port from service centre, n it got damaged again in 1 month recently I again replaced the port and the strip of usb from unauthorised repair shop n even now the port won't work and even doesn't connect to computer. N now again I recently replaced the port n everything is working perfectly.
