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

I haven't had this problem till recently, maybe the last two days at most, anyway, the phone isn't charging when I plug it in. Before you ask, yes, the door is completely open, that isn't the problem. I plug it in and it doesn't notice its there, if I wiggle the charger around a bit it'll start to charge, if I push is slightly outward (towards the screen) it has no problems, it just feels extremely loose...
Of all the samsungs I've ever owned the charging port breaking has always been the biggest problem, I was afraid that was what happened to mine but since it works fine if I move the charger im thinking that isn't the problem.
Just curious if anyone else has had this problem, I can live with it for three weeks till I upgrade and get back to HTC, but its just plain annoying!
My charger port is a bit hollow as well. The charger will come out very easily, but it's been long since this started happening.
The usb cable they sent out with this phone is garbage. Swap it for any other and you will more then likely get a perfect fit.
I'll be sure to try that tonight, I have a spare blackberry usb in my bag. Last time I tried using another cable I kinda had to force it in the port since it didn't want to fit, it seemd like it was because it was catching on the battery door so I swapped back for the oem cable since it is shaped Correctly.

This happened with my laptop wayyyy to many times, the type of charger in the phone is the male on the phone and female on the cord, same is my laptop, i noticed that immediately and i am ALWAYS careful with the cord with my laptop and phone, i went through at least 3 cords before i got the right one, look at more forms and NEVER get the cheap cord. Because then it'll be three cheap cords but one good cord is less expensive
Hey! I have the same problem..
I'm just buying a new charger.seems to be the only solution

Search Amazon for "blackberry usb cable micro usb". The first result should be it, it's a very high quality, shielded cable. To get a solid, snug fit I suggest a razor or a knife to easily cut back some of the rubber around the micro tip. Works amazingly well. I could even make it work before I trimmed it.
I have this same exact problem, but its the other way around - the cable that I received with the phone seems to "click" into place and doesn't come out of the charger port readily.
I bought some shorter cables to use with the wall charger from monoprice.com and they just fall right out, and I don't know what the issue is.
The "official" charger I spent $30 from AT&T for my car, however, also clicks into place and seems very secure.
I guess it just depends on the cable you buy.
My Samsung OEM cable is junk now as well. It has no problem making contact, but it doesn't fit snugly anymore and will slide out with minimum provocation.
I have three Monoprice.com cables that fit great, especially the 28 awg without ferrites. That is, until I dropped the phone on the plug and damaged it. Oh well, better the cable than the Captivate. I also have two cables from Meritline that fit nicely, as does the charger cable for my Bluetooth headset.
It's really just the Samsung cable that's junk. I always recommend Monoprice cables as they are high quality and very inexpensive. Keep in mind, however, that they don't sell a micro USB cable that does not require modification to fit the Captivate's beveled socket.

I have another microUSB cable but it slips out sometimes, and doesn't charge the Nexus 7 unless you hold it at certain angles. If anyone can point me in the direction of getting a replacement ASUS micro USB cable like the one that comes with the Nexus 7, or even one that people have found is a snug fit with their devices,and isn't prone to falling out, please let me know. Thanks for the help.
You don't say where you are but if you can find something like this you should be fine. http://www.amazon.co.uk/LINDY-Degre...26&sr=8-3&keywords=micro+usb+lead+right+angle
Good length and the right angle plug make it less likely to catch on things.
Troute,
Do you use this with your Nexus 7? Because I've heard that some microUSB cables' pins on the connector aren't long enough to reach into the Nexus 7's and that's why the microUSB cable I'm using now is so flimsy. Do you know anything about that?
Theoretically It must work, because the OTG cable we are using is micro USB B to USB female.
I think some people must got their cable from a bad store that cause the defect you're talking about
I use whatever lead is handy and have had no problems but I avoid buying cheap chinese ones. Problems can be caused by a combination of badly made/loose plug and a loose socket
Just noticed that the default mirco USB charging cable dose not go all the way into the phone and now half way out when before it used to snap all the way in. Anyone else has a similar problem.?
That happened to me with phones before. It was caused by some pocket lint in the charging port. Hope that helps

My sockets are completely clean tho.

Well at least I'm not the only one with this problem! First 2 charges the cable fit nice and perceft \ sung as in flush with the phone and couldn't wiggle it at all now all of a sudden the dang thing won't go in all the way.
I've noticed that it's difficult to plug in my Micro USB cable that came with my N6; I feel like I might break the plug and/or the port (or both!).
If I try using my old Samsung charger's microUSB, it won't go in at all -- well, I guess it could if I really forced it, but I'm not gonna. I found that my generic Amzer retractable microUSB seems to plug in the easiest
Are you having the same issue with other brands of micro USBs?
A friends of mine micro usb cable plugs into the charging port all the way without any of the silver part of the micro usb plug showing. I got my Nexus 6 yesterday and the micro usb plugs in and charges the device, but it does not go in all the way like on my friends Nexus 6. There's about a 1/4 of the silver part of the micro usb plug showing. All in all it does what it's suppose to do which is charge the device, but I wonder if this is normal?
Anybody have more information? Mine just started having this issue and it's been rooted so I know the warranty is void.
Unroot and get an RMA.

There are tiny prongs in the micro USB end of the cable that hole the cable in. All cables I have the prongs flatten out and the cable falls out. I just buy cheap cables from Monoprice and throw them away when that happens.
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.
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.
