Magnetic charger - would attaching the charger upside down do anything bad?

Some people have mentionned that attaching the magnetic charger the wrong way could have an ill effect on the phone. Is there any validity to this or is it just people spreading unbased rumors?
The pin holes are different shapes so that you can only properly connect it right side up, but some 3rd party chargers (including mine - the led charger) have the metal pins sticking out slightly beyond the safety holes, so the pins could make contact if I attach it wrong.
From a physics point of view, how is it any different from plugging in a plug into a wall outlet where the orientation of the plug is irrelevent?

it'll make your phone go BOOM, don't do it.

Riight, thanks

I'm a little worried about this though.. I could see myself accidently plugging it in wrong. I have the black version of the phone which looks very similar front and back, I feel like it's just a matter of time before I mess up :\ Maybe I'll try to trim the charer pins a bit with a diamond dremel bit..

It just shuts my phone down when I put it the wrong way. Works fine after turning back on.

I have the Magnector X charger and the pins are not sticking out. They are slightly below the plastic casing.

I put my Z1 the wrong way in my Brodit car holder (very good phone mount/holder by the way) and it just rebooted. It was no problem then

I also think there is no difference. I don't see any real facts about downside.

Haven't done anything bad with my phone it still charge as good, don't think it would matter at all

It messes up the flux capacitor.

Good to see you can quit elementary school and still afford a decent smartphone.

Do you momentarily feel better about yourself after being a condescending ****?

Good to hear! Still don't feel like purposely testing it though.

Yes I do.

USB cable clicks in charging port

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

Charger port??

Has anyone else's charger port become so loose their charger practically slips right out with soft movement?

Nope

Yeah, mine is pretty loose. Have to use specific cables for data transfer, as well.

I won't say loose per say, but every time I connect my phone the cable will clip on one end. It'll click kinked if you get what I'm saying
Pretty weird. I gotta tilt the left side then It'll clip correctly.

USB port, tiny bit of play?

Do you have that to? It's a tiny tiny bit loose all four directions. Original cable. No problem with the connection. Its snug when inserting and pulling out.
Checked with my Samsung S5. It has more play, so I guess it's ok.

That's by design.
As long as the connection is good, there's nothing to worry.

Thank you! That's relaxing to know.

Remember the standard USB plugs, and when you try to plug them in, they get caught on the housing, but you think you put them the wrong way and rotate them, just to notice they're actually the wrong direction now?
That's to prevent that.

Yes, all too good. Why the S5 wireless charging is great! Wireless charging doesn't matter very much with the XZ1C because of the USB-C.

Have ordered Wsken magnetic cables to be on the safe side. The USB on my Acro S went broke a long time ago.

I had a magnetic cable, but it stuck out too much for my taste.
Tried to modify it so that it goes in further, but destroyed it in the process.
I'd love to have a flat one, tho.

Was is Wsken? It has great reviews on Amazon. Cannot order from Amazon. Doesn't ship to my country, so I ordered from Ebay.
Flat magnetic cable? Got to check that.

Note9 USB-C port loose

Hey guys,
Today I bought my first android phone ever. I absolutely love my choice and dont know how I have been so stupid to be happy with iPhone, BUT...
When I plug my phone to charge, usb-c port feels loose, it moves up and down, doesnt wiggle to sides, chrarges with no problem, but the movement exists - is it normal and I'm being paranoic or it souldnt have a movement?
Thanks!

Tight, as on iPhone

get a cheap fast wireless charger.
I know this is no solution/fix but it will make the port last longer

Guys thanks for responses.. Apparently that is normal, the port itself doesnt move, movement os in the little hole in the usbc plug! I have never paid attention on it flr my pc simply because i dont hold it in my hands! Something i have to get used! Actually i just ordered wireless charger!
Guys, thanks for your help, you are amazing!

yes android people are the best kind.

So, it's normal? Because I have my 2weeks Note 9 and I noticed the same... It's a little wiggle when moving the cable right/left... :crying:

I have three Note 9s. A T-Mo 128GB, a U1 512GB, and a brand new ATT 512GB. All three have some wiggle in the port. It's normal.

I got a feeling its the cable ....
I'm not using the original cable that came with the phone but instead am using Type-C cables (one at office, one at home, one in my bag with portable powerbank) from my previous phone ...
Most are tight and one have a slight wiggle to it ...
