As we know this phone wears out cables left and right so they constantly fall out ... If I have insurance and take it to att will the insurance cover this ?

No ATT doesnt cover that.
Also I cant say I have ever had a single issue with the cable. To be honest if they are failing it is because people are misusing them.
I've posted about how my cables have just started falling out Anthere have been others having the same issue I'm on my 5th cable in less than a year

Out of the dozens of people I know with this device not a single one has ever had to have it replaced. If you are going threw that much then you either have a faulty device USB port or you are being to ruff with it. Which is very common really. People just jerk the cable out which causes damage. Also make sure to official cables. knock offs are not made that great.
Ditto - still on my original charging cable.
If the port on your charger has become loose (in other words, your cable fits snugly on other phones, but not on your N6), you may be able to get ATT to fix it.
Same here. Original cable. Although my daily charging is wireless

anyone out there know a place or website where i can get a new charging port flex cable that will actually work with out problems.
my original one didnt charge right unless i bent it backwards a little
i bought 3 off ebay and had problems with each
1st one off ebay had no sound
2nd one had no service
3rd one didnt charge at all.
the original one was a REV 1.0 connector and so were the others, so if anyone knows where to get one that will work with no problems let me know
THANK YOU

Don't know about OP, but I'm in the US, having the same issue. Went through 2 orders of 2 cables each from tmart, and sound doesn't work on any of them. I get a click when sound should start playing & nothing else.
I don't care to deal with ebay, due to shady sellers, limited return policy & price gouging ($36 for a flex cable? really?)

That looks like a USB cable. Pretty sure OP is referring to a flex cable, which is also what I need. Looks like this.
Sorry if this has been asked before but is anyone else's included USB cable rubbish? Mine won't stay in the phone and just pops back out whenever I put it in... Just got the phone today using the cable from my NS4G with the new 2A charger hoping it charges correctly and nothing goes wrong. Is there a fix for this so the plug stays in the phone? My NS4G cable stays in just fine... Love the phone so far in the few hours I have had it today. It's so big I feel awkward holding it but I LOVE IT!!! Such a great phone.
Well the ns4g cable charges it to 100% overnight so i guess I'll keep using that...

Yep same issue here. My cable also pops up very often. I was wondering if I cut a little bit of the white plastic at the base of the micro usb side, will do the job....

Yeah, there's a thread on here somewhere about this very issue. I believe the above suggestion works. As always YMMV.
Yeah i asked the same question here before, some people experience that including me. Solution is to file around the usb port or use anotheer cable.
Unfortunate that we pay such a premium price for this phone and are left with an unusable usb cable

The cable works fine for me. High quality and all. It doesn't pop out in its own.

It's a really nice cord, I'd say high quality but it just pops out and i can't use it ): I guess I will have to cut some of the white back on the cord or just use the ns4g one which seemed to charge it fine with the 2a charger.

That's because it is 3rd party. Just like when the iphone 5 first came out and apple didn't release the adapter for it, people got it on eBay from 3rd party retailers.

Guys I would be skeptical about this. It is just the cable so you are gonna use the same charger transformer so it is not gonna charge any faster and 26 bucks totals seems like a rip. Also is this just for charging or can it transfer data? I'm gonna wait.

Once the OEM POGO cable comes out it'll cost about the same price. I'd wager it costs a little more because it's an "official" part.
As far as charging speed, it's already been found that the N10 is only pulling somewhere between 1.5 and 1.8 amps out of a USB 2.0 cable, which is a limitation of the cable itself and not the transformer. The theory being passed around the forums is that the POGO cable doesn't have the same limitation and can draw the full 2 amps.
Either way, leave us to check it out if you're skeptical. We're not signing any organs away. We know what we're getting into.

Never seen an app for it.
The only accurate way is to use an external ammeter. You could get a rough number using a household energy monitor, but that would include current used by the power supply
There are a few electrical engineers around this board, someone with a decent lab psu could graph the charging process start to finish
My nexus 7 has bit the dust. the usb port pins are bent out of wack. with 4% battery left, i cant return it to stock.
Have you tried to open it up and charge the battery directly, or you could get a dock and charge it through the pogo pins.

Would it be possible to connect it to your pc through the dock? At least you could use it to charge your nexus.

Buy another port and replace it yourself. It shouldn't be that difficult.
Or go buy another one locally and then put your old one in the box and return it for a refund. You'll need the money to buy one but you'll get it back and have a new tablet to show for it. Office Depot stocks them. Just make sure it looks new and won't turn on. So you can tell them its just not coming on and since it's new they'll think its just a factory dud.
Good luck.
why do you want to return it to stock? Send it in for RMA and tell them it won't charge

Perhaps you could shoot the guys an email over at http://www.mobiletechvideos.com. They do repairs for phones and tablets, while I don't see a section for the Nexus 7, perhaps if you just tell them your story they might be able to give you a hand in getting your N7 up and running again.

Nah, just do the Qi Wireless charging mod. Hooks up pretty easy from what I understand. My buddy did his and said it just hooks up real easy.
I think the Qi charger and receiver sticker was like $14. He said it only took like 20min to do.
Beats throwing a good tab away.

Incipio is supposed to be coming out with The offGRID Thin Battery Case for the Moto X. I'm assuming it's still being worked on because it's the only case left in their series i believe that is not on the market yet. Sorry, i can't post links yet, but the majority of link is below

That's pretty much how all battery cases work. The cases themselves have a usb port you use to charge the case and phone at the same time.

No problem. Anytime...The Moto X is a great phone and I'm glad to see that the 3rd party manufacturers are getting on board with Motorola to really get these accessories out to the many owners of this phone.
Depending on your usage you may not need it. I had a Nexus as well, and used to charge it 3+ times a day. With the X so far I can make it though a full day without issue.

With my phone completely stock and having Wi-F ( never on Wi-Fi though)i, BT, auto brightness etc enabled all the time, I'm getting 4hrs screen time, 1 hour talk with 16hrs off the charger and still ending the day with 20%+ battery life. If I root, debloat and greenify, I'm certain I could get 5+hrs screen 2hrs talk and have more left in that same period... But I'm sticking stock for the time being as it's almost perfect the way it is.
With my sgs3 I'd have to fully charged it sometime early afternoon to use it this much.
