Hi All,
I have my X sine it came up on 2014 here in Argentina (2013 version).
At first the USB plug was tight and steady, but it's been a while and now I just got my Lollipop update, but my USB is too loose, so everytime I plug it I must strugle to get it charging.
I've never opend it, I'm not quite sure what to do to get it as it once was again and keep this awesome phone alive..
I'll appreciate any suggestions
Maybe the microusb pin is the issue. Do you have the same problem with a new USB cable?

Well some cables seem to lock a bit more, but all cables are too lose, new cables like you get that 'click' felling, but its still loose, not as much as the original, but loose in the end :S

Ye heard other say that..
But I use about 6 different cables and all of them work the same
Sounds like a somewhat faulty cable. I'd recommend just using a different one or take that one to a Verizon store and seeing if they'll swap it out for a new one.

I think the Moto cables are crossover data cables. This pin configuration would render normal cables as only power cables. It helps them make ONLY their cables work for data, so you buy theirs. **This is merely my theory as to why only Moto cables do data though. Switched pins on phone and crossed over wires.**
If someone has one that currently just charges it, and wouldn't mind maybe ruining it for the better of society , could you open it up and cross over the data wires?

My Kindle cable works fine with my Droid 3 for data and charging - I travel with only micro-USB cable, it's the Kindle cable, and that works. In fact, I just plugged in a cable from a WD Passport external hard disk - that also works fine.
I do suggest people to use the Moto cable if they are having trouble using others, but I have never had an issue using non-Moto cables with the D3 for anything, from charging to USB data connection to a computer.
Sounds like a bad cable. The data wires are more sensitive to physical issues than the Vcc and ground wires. I one had a cheap generic USB cable I was using and while it charged devices fine, it would cause Windows or the device to hang if i tried transferring data.
Does anyone know of a charger USB cable with a really short / stubby micro USB plug piece? I have my Nexus installed in the car, and due to the size of the plug that goes into the Nexus, it gets pushed to an angle by the dashboard, which causes things like my USB flash drive to unmount suddenly, USB-DAC to lose signal etc. I have tried both with the charger plugged directly into the Nexus, and using a 90 degree adapter, both are just slightly too tight and I am afraid with the pressure on them may cause damage to the connector on the Nexus itself.
I am hoping to find a USB cable with a stubbier plug, or possibly even an OTG cable with a 90 degree connector on the end of it. Either one of these should give me an extra couple mm in order to not run into this problem.
Thanks.
Have you tried something like this?

Thanks for the link, I have not tried one of those (yet). I did find this link searching around yesterday and ended up ordering the down angled cable. It's not cheap for a 5" USB cable, but should work and give me a little extra slack for plugging/unplugging the Nexus.
Anyone find any good USB charging cables for their G Flex?
I've ordered and tried like over 15 now and none really work like the OEM USB cable... either they give me a slow charger, they fall out of the phone's USB connector, or they won't charge at all.
I've tried like different ones from Monoprice, Fosmon ones, and 2 different ones form BB.
I know its the cables because when I use my OEM LG cable with an old HTC charger it works just fine.
I ordered this 6ft BB Playbook charger over the weekend: http://www.amazon.com/Blackberry-Folding-Blade-Charger-Playbook/dp/B004OZMWUS/ because I've heard people having good results with it. I'll post a review when I get it. Fingers crossed.
sure
Hi
I can only recommend this special low-resistance charging cable from PortaPow.
portablepowersupplies.co.uk/portapow-fast-charge-micro-usb-cable
Please check out this cable here
I got one of the 2.5 meters version and the charging speed is still awesome with this cable! Its perfect for the bedroom.
Greetings
You can buy lg oem usb cable on Amazon. Try search for the cable under different lg phone model. I bought a few pairs for $ 3 each. It don't have necessary said for flex since many other lg phone use the same type of cable.

I give the BB Playbook Blade charger a C+ for charing the G Flex but a A+ for charging any other Android device.
It charges the G Flex really super fast... prob the fastest out of all the chargers I've tried from what Battery Monitor Widget tells me BUT like all the other USB cables I've tried the connection isn't secure and iif I move or even just do the knock-knock code the cable slips out of the socket.
I did order 2 more off eBay for charging my other android devices... the 6+ ft cord is really useful. Just wish it would fit the G Flex micro USB socket.

I think this might be the best route because I haven't found 1 USB cable out of 20+ test that will stay in the socket when the phone is moved.

I've always just purchased htc oem cables... since I had my EVO, then with my Galaxy Note II, and now with my Flex...
These work great and fit snug. Best cables I ever bought.

It's $11 because it's 10 feet long and braided.
Do U use Mac or PC?
I have the same issue, I got a 750mA charger from a Nokia and it charges faster then my 2.1amp oem Samsung charger. I have had a really hard time finding a good cable that works with this phone. I lost my OEM LG Charger, I think it's time to buy one again.
Try charge only cables. Worked for me..
I use blackberry cables. Very high quality, and have never had issues.
ROGERS • LG G Flex D950G • Stock ROOT 4.4.2 • V4A • 180DPI • FLEXIN'
The samsung chargers work pretty well too. Sometimes i get a slow charge when im plugged into like a power brick, and not plugged directly into the wall outlet.
Know it's weird but next plug into a brick or strip an get the slow charging flip the adapter around in the socket
my problem is similar
Ive tried multiple cables,but in the car, it will always give me a slow charge (around half a amp,when i think it should be 1.8)
so bacsically i can get no rapid charge while in the car
Again, ive tried multiple cables and multiple chargers. even 2 that were supposed to figure out the max input of the flex, and use that to charge it rapidly. but i ALWAYS get slow charge
the only time I dont is when I plug it into a standard wall charger,it will rapid charge then
what car chargers have yall used that will NOT give you the slow charge?
please help. Ive spent $80 in trying
After 4 months of use, my N6 will only charge with constant force applied to the microusb side of the usb cable. Currently I have to prop the phone on a screw driver and leave a bottle opener balanced on the microusb male. Tried with multiple chargers, multiple usb cables, and it has persisted across roms. Should I go and try to bend the microusb female end on the phone to get a better connection?
@mic3,
No, I wouldn't do that. I had the same failure on my previous MotoX 2014. Motorola replaced the phone.
Return it for repair/replacement.

Well after a bunch of nonsense with moto support, they've kicked me back to TMO support. Let's see how this one goes.
Hey everyone,
I recieved a new LeEco Le 2 yesterday. It is Le X526 Indian version. The charging cable has normal USB on one end and USB C on the other. There is no response when I plug the charger. It is not charging. I tried by switching it off and same result.
The adaptor is working as I could charge another device using it. There is no way for me to check the cable since I don't have any other USB C device. Now if has only about 10% left. I have switched it off and kept for charging. What should I do now? Any suggestions please...

Gonna do that. I bought it from Flipkart for an offer price. Hopefully, it can be replaced.
Update : My father has got it to charge by adjusting the USB C end. Definitely something wrong with either the cable or the USB port on the phone. He noticed something weird too. He was able to connect the normal USB end of the cable on the adaptor both ways. Is it also reversible? Anyway, I am gonna leave it untouched till it charges fully and do more inspections later.

I am a little confused now. Now it is working most of the times. Even when it does not, I can adjust it a little bit and it works. In effect, I can get it to work everytime. I am wondering whether the problem is with the cable somehow. Does nobody else have this problem? Is it really worth the hassle of replacement? Somebody please confirm..

There may be some kind of insulator covering one of the contact pins. IF YOU SAY IT WORKS, PLUG AND PLAY, then no need to return. IF YOU FEEL SOME INCONVENIENCE AND HAVE TO KEEP THE CABLE OF PHONE IN CERTAIN POSITION FOR IT TO CHARGE, JUST RETURN IT. MOST PROBABLY, THE FLIPKART GUY BRINGS A REPLACEMENT PHONE WHEN HE COMES TO PICK THE PHONE ITSELF.
Yes replace it.
Why you are taking loss just replace it.
Replace Phone
Thanks everyone for your valuable suggestions. I have requested for a replacement. But the flipkart customer service is not making it easy. First they wanted me to reset the phone even though this is a hardware issue. Then they wanted me to install SmartChk app to verify the problem. But after that, now they want me to verify whether the problem is with the charger or the phone. When I told them that I have no USB C cables, they want me now to go to some shop and check this. Without doing that they won't proceed.
Update : Everything is fine. I went to a Leeco service centre and found out the issue was with the cable. I found out that if there is any issue with the phone, it would take around a month to repair it. They didn't even have cables in stock. Surely, flipkart will deliver faster. Flipkart gave me 2 options. They would either give me ₹200 with which I can buy a new cable or they will replace everything. I went with replacement. No quality cable can be bought for that price and I don't want to take any risks with USB C cables right now. Hopefully, replacement has no issues.
My Le 2 is not charging. When I connect it to charger, it shows that it is charging but the battery percentage is not increasing. I don't have any other device to check if the problem is with my type-C cable or not. Any help will be appreciated.

This is ultimately a fault of the USB-C design. Look in the port and you will see it has a thin piece of plastic inside of it. This slides into the charger and has contacts on it. If that little piece of plastic gets cracked/bent/broken, the port is toast. Yes, your octa core, 32 GB 5.5" HD display device can be rendered useless by the cracking of a tiny piece of plastic bending.
This is why Micro USB is the superior connector, all the contacts are mounted to the interior of the port that is secured to the device. Yet another example of the tech industry replacing something in existence with something worse just o sell you new cables and adapters.
My Le 2 x520 is not charging. When I connect it to charger, it shows that it is charging but the battery percentage is not increasing. I don't have any other device to check if the problem is with my type-C cable or not.
