anyone else noticed that the charging port of the oneplus3t is worse than the one of the onplus3?
i never had charging issues on the op3 since the 6 months i've used it. but on the op3t it started after a week that the cable sometimes disconects while using the phone. its very rare and hard to reproduce. mostly it happens when i didnt use the charger for a while.
ive also noticed that the op3 has a thicker connector inside the port. and the connection feels more comfy usong the same official cable. anyone else experienced this?
Never used a Oneplus 3 so don't have that frame of reference, but never had any charging port issue with the 3t in the last month that I have had it. The charging cable fits very solidly and tight and there's no way it' s coming off easily. Maybe you got a bum piece?
I've had both Oneplus 3 and 3t, didn't notice any difference.

Are you sure you are pushing the connector all the way in? It happened to me couple of times.[emoji41]

yes im sure
blowing inside the port fixes the issue but i never had to do this using op3. and if i look inside the ports i can see that the connector of the op3t is tinner. :/
and it fits as good as on op3 its pretty solid but not as solid as on op3

I noticed this today, on the train with phone charged and kept getting a tiny electric shock on my arm when holding phone with left hand and putting right arm on an arm rest which I'm not sure what it was made of. They were just little sharp pains.
Then made a call and the shock was going through my ear which was a little painful. I removed the charging cable and everything is now fine.
Obviously this should happen. I'm using a charger I bought from eBay from a UK company, its a mercury charger (usb741uk). Need to see if the same thing happens with my genuine HTC charger.
Wonder if it's the charger or the phone.

Something similar happens to me if I'm holding my phone while it's charging and I'm also touching my heater (don't know if that's what it's actually called in English) that's made out of cast iron. This also happens with other phones (one s, galaxy nexus).
My guess is that by touching something metallic you "complete the circuit" and the current passes through you.
It's absolutely normal.

No its not, they would never pass certification if you received a shock whilst using it on charge

This is correct, it appears the charger is not properly isolated from the mains, there's no way it would pass British certification.
Throw it away and buy a proper one.
The charges I am using are official ones that came with the phones and they still give me a little jolt if I touch cast iron fixed to the wall. These are both htc and Samsung official charges. This even happens when i hood the charger from me wireless router with my bare hand and use my bare knee to touch the heating element.
So... If you get a very minor jolt in the part of your body touching the grounded element, I'm gonna stick to "it's normal".

The issue is not related with the charger... It's only related with static electricity happening on your body. If it were from charging the the shock should have been continuous.

Stick to what you want, but it's not normal. Maybe you should seek the advice of an electrician, the wiring in your house has a ground problem.

Yup. Very wise. Coming from a family of certified electricians I am well aware just how seriously this should be taken (my brother condemned a Warburtons factory for less, shut it down for weeks!)
Some people think they're immortal until the red mist descends because of an electric charge passing from one hand to the other.

Is it cold? I know when it's cold, you conduct electricity way easier. It hasn't gotten cold where I live yet, so I can't justify my answer. I'm assuming it's the metal around the phone. Meaning I should ask, do you have a case? Try putting on a plastic case and see if you still get a shock.
This is quite interesting and I hope it doesn't happen to me. Because I have a polyester jacket and I get massively shocked during the winter. LoL!!
P.S. When you're getting out your car during the winter and don't want the door or anything to shock you, touch it with your key first. Sometimes you can see the spark. That's how you know it would have hurt.
Sorry about the extra. I just don't like getting shocked. LoL!!
Static electricity would cause one spark, not a series like the OP described.
I had something similar happen to me when I was charging my iPhone 4 through a USB port on my friend's PC. When I picked up the phone (touching the metal band around the sides) there was a pulsing sensation through my hand. He'd never experienced it because his phone was plastic cased. He shrugged it off as a dodgy electricity supply but I remained paranoid whenever I had to touch the phone again.
I know this is an old thread but its all i could find online. im usung an HTC M8 and have been for the last year and half. when i plug it into the wall charger and hold the phone in my left hand (not sure if it matters which hand) and touch something metallic/grounded with my right hand i get a slight nipping feeling, if i move my hand up and down i will get the nip more as i'm making and breaking connection. i decided to try a multimeter to see whats going on, so i hold a probe with my phone in my left hand and put the other probe to earth and i get between 140 and 115v ac. surely this is not normal

I had the same problem with my M7. First the charging port became really flimsy; the phone would only charge when the charging cable was positioned in a certain way. After that I began to feel a constant static electricity when the phone was charging. It was strong enough that I could feel it all over the phone. As soon I disconnected the charging cable it stopped.
I tried grounding myself to something to see if it would stop and it never did.
After I got a new M7 the problem went away. My guess is that the charging port is suspect.

Interesting.. earlier this week my charger nearly caught on fire-- sparks, smoke, all that good stuff. I've been noticing over the last year or so that the quality of chargers has seemed to get worse and worse-- at least in the US. This was the first time I'd ever seen anything of the sort happen, and here there is a thread that is (sort of) about that subject. Were either of you (who recently posted) running Android 6.0-- just out of curiosity? My M7 uses up a ton more power on Marshmallow and runs significantly hotter than it did on Lollipop... hopefully that will change as the OS develops.

There should only be 5 Vdc reaching your phone, if you get 115 Vac then your charger is for sure faulty.
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 have had troubles with magnetic cases in the past, the magnets interfer with some components, in a S3 the case started the camera! How? I will never know
If done correctly , I've always done red neck by using Velcro. I made sure back of case was clean via alcohol , then same to the smooth area of my dash.
3m grade velcro used, never came off during my last three devices with cases.

Currently using mine without any issues - it's between the phone and my thin Spigen case. I never use the S-Pen on the mount - totally pointless...so this whole thing is a moot point unless you use a desk stand magnet holder.
What the metal piece will do, however, is interfere with wireless charging if the charger's coils cannot touch it well enough. I'm currently in the testing phase of seeing which charger works best with this setup.
Choetech Fast Wireless Charger 1: http://amzn.eu/169eOGi
Choetech Fast Wireless Charger 2: http://amzn.eu/4r62fmZ
UPDATE:
So I figured out a way to get the phone to charge with the metal piece inside the case to avoid the coils. Basically, place it horizontally near the bottom 1/3 of the phone (I had it in the middle vertically before - and this is the main area where the coils touch to charge).
I tested with both Choetech chargers this time using a good thick micro-usb cable to my Samsung Note 8 charger. I used the Ampere app to measure the mA. Charger 1 hit around 830-900mA consistently. Charger 2 hit around 500-800mA inconsistently. My Huawei Mate 9 Super Fast Charger and the Samsung Note 8 Charger with my Huawei Mate 9 usb-C Cable and Note 8 usb-C cable both hit 1030-1040mA consistently max when plugged in.
I'm returning the new one (Charger 2). It has a less appealing, odd shape with fans that don't really do anything. It's much bulkier too.
Normally, wireless charging is terrible compared to USB charging, but this setup really impressed me. Try it and let me know what you guys think.
Nice. Thanks for the feedback.

Yeah, I ended up putting the metal disc (which is only even necessary due to my dbrand skin) on the bottom of my phone so I can use a mag mount and still have wireless charging. Sans skin, my note 5 didnt need a disc and my 8 probably wouldn't either.
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!

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 ...
Hi Guys,
Just got ROG 2 yesterday... While testing all the spec and accessories, i felt that my 3.5 jack port is not that good. Every headset that i tried was very loose and easy dropped.
Am i the one feeling like this or do any one face the same problem?
Maybe a little once it's in, but getting it in is tight! 1st time I tried, I use Bluetooth ones mainly....
Mine has a solid connection. not loose at all. After plugging in my earbuds, I can suspend the phone by the cable and it doesn't come undone. I can even jiggle it with it only secured by the 3.5 mm jack. When inserting the cable, i can feel it click solidly.
