Does anyone else have a similar issue? My charging port seems loose. And it seems like it has more play on the right side than the left which makes my USB cable always a little inclined to the right.
are you sure its the phone and not just the cable?
Yes I've tried with a couple of other cables. Even though others are tight they still click in a tiny bit skewed to the right side but not completely straight.
charging with cables is sooooo 2008...

Mine is the same way... When I insert a cable it looks like it's on an angle. Also seems like no cable fits tightly.
I know this may sound petty but I have to ask.
Gotnmy vzw n6 today and when I plug in the charging port it fits snug but if I press on the cable or pull it to the right it clicks almost as if it has a break away feature. Does anyone else's do this? It also does it with my ps4 micro cable.
Mine is tight but it does not click.

I noticed mine does this too. I was concerned at first thinking it was a faulty usb but it seems to work okay whether it's clicked in all the way or not. Glad to know it's not just me.
Same here
Whenever I plug my phone into my computer and wiggle it around a bit it disconnects. It's a brand new cable too. I'm assuming I need to have my charging port replaced?
Never assume. Check to see if it happens with a different cable first. If it repeats with the second cable, then take the phone in for servicing.
It would not be worth to replace the charging port. It is time to get a new phone, isn't it?
It would be far less expensive to replace the port than to replace the device. Besides, without actually taking apart the N6, we don't exactly know what's going on. The connector could truly be damaged, or it could be a simple issue of the connector losing connection with the motherboard due to a bad solder joing; something that some skill with a soldering iron could resolve.

Indeed, it is that time. The only phones that meet my needs (fast wireless charging, USB 3.1, Bluetooth 5.0, microSD, etc) are the s8s so I'm going to wait for the Note 8. The Essential PH-1 is also on the radar but I really don't want to go any smaller than a 6" display.

Have you tried to remove any lint with a toothpick or similar tool? Doesn't cost anything to try a thorough cleaning before anything else...
You could also use a magnetic micro USB adapter, people say they fit very tight in the plug

I'm pretty sure the port was just dirty. I blew in it (like the old Nintendo games) and now it stays connected while wiggling the cable around rather forcefully.
Hi
I have strange problem :when I connect the cable to the phone to charge I get massage "low charging",when I connect again after changing side of the cable I get fast charging.
It happen in every cable or charger.
Someone know what is the problem?
Thank you
gently Clean phone port with tooth brush, hope it will solve the problem.

I try it later, but if it dirty port I should get the problem no matter how I connect the cable. Only one side give me fast charging.

I have this problem too. But it is with stock cable and i clean that and problem solved but for a short time.please if anybody know the Solution share that with us
well if using a better cable dosen't work then might be the port it self. also make sure that if you have a case, that it is not pushing against the cable or stopping it from going all the way through.( i hope the 1 st attempts to troubleshoot was to also change chargers.....)
the suggestion to clean port might also be valid. take the smallest needle you can find and clean/scrape the bottom of the port on each side of the connector in the phone. youd be surprised how much pocket lint get compacted if you have a habit if keeping phone in a pocket .
instead of a needle some use a wooden coffee stir stick and cuts it to a pointy dagger like edge. use it to scrape till no more dirt comes out.
Shoot I have the same problem! It isn't that frequent but it only happens on BLACK chargers in the house. I have 2 black one white charger and only the black ones have this problem. VERY weird.
Thoroughly clean out your charge port on your device and the cable ends on your cables. Unsecure contact causes slow transfer of electricity with these types of ports. Anytime I get that issue, cleaning the port and cables solves the problem until they get dirty again.
Just because you don't see stuff in there doesn't mean it's not dirty.

My problem is that I have slow charge in one side of the cable, and when I flip it and reconnect it show fast charging.
If it was dirty I should get slow charging any time.

The contact points for your cable connector and port have to all connect for you to get fast charging. That's why I said to thoroughly clean your cable contacts and port on your device.
It's just advice I gave, not a command. Your choice to do it or not. Another piece of advice, do full research on how the tech you use operates so that you can best understand its processes and functionalities.
Just saying.???
Use a Q-Tip and alcohol to clean the USB port. That should help. If it doesn't try another cable

You don't need to stick the Q-Tip into the port completely using swab the top of the connector and the port hole. That should allow the alcohol that has soaked into the port to drip down the length of the connector.

Be careful with that. Alcohol can eat away at the waterproofing adhesive that Samsung uses on their devices.
thats why i said gently clean your port with toothbrush only. no need to use any liquid cleaning or alchohal.

Ethanol Alcohol evaporates very quickly when it comes in contact with the air. 2 or 3 drops on a Q-Tip dripped onto the USB connect should clean it very quickly and evaporate before it causes any damage to the waterproofing adhesive.
The USB C cable goes into the phone nice and securely, however there is movement up and down and left and right if you move the cable. I don't know if it's a normal thing or a defect in the port. Does the same happen with your device too?
Thank you.
