Anyone got any for their S2?
I was looking at my micro usb port and I see there are dust in there. I might go buy one of those puddy things that is used for cleaning hard to reach spots to clean it up. Of course, I will have the phone off and battery out to prevent the puddy to have any liquid damage on there.
Any people have recommendations where to get these micro usb dust covers?
Don't even know it exist !
actually try searching in this section of forum... ive seen someone recommended it in past
EDIT: ah lol.. u should seriously try to search before u post... i searched with "micro usb cover" and got result
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1273845&highlight=micro+usb+cover
I had one and lost it within a day because it wouldn't stick well...
Weird, I did search but nothing came up.. oh well thanks for the link!

Any micro USB cables that you guys would recommend over the OEM original cable.
I seem to be one of the very few that have problems with the original cable fitting snuggly. Yes, the door is open all the way til it clicks, yet the cable easily falls out.
If anyone has a suggestion of another cable or has the same problem with a fix that I just somehow missed after searching for a couple of days, it would be greatly appreciated.
I had the same problem. After about a month of use it just came completely loose and would only stay in if I propped it up a certain way. I tried a friend's charger and it worked fine (likewise my charger was loose on his captivate).
I just took the usb cable from my external hard drive and that one fits very snuggly, unfortunately it is also much shorter
I'm also having this issue. I wonder why...

Yes, this is exactly what I have to do for mine to charge. So I guess I'll have to just start looking for one that will work for me. It seems just any other standard micro USB cable will do the trick. Thanks a lot my friend.

Well upon further inspection, you can see how the top of the phone is curved and if you look at with the USB door open from the top and tilted slightly back you can see how the jack actually looks crooked inside the phone. I'm quite sure that this is because of the curved top parallel to the circuit board that has the jack is too tall. And I think for some reason I might need to trim down the micro end a bit on the front side..it looks like its hitting the front side of the phone.
I'm looking for a replacement cable as well...even OEM is fine. The case around mine cracked off one night when I feel asleep playing on my phone. Mine was always kind of loose compared to the att charging cable which is nice and tight. Does radio shack carry cables like this?

i called AT&T about this with my cappy and they said that the charging port was bad and sent me a new phone , thats been 3 mo ago and the problem hasnt recurred.
(just a thought)
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.
just to elaborate, the specific micro end is called a "micro b " usb connection.
not to be confused with mini or micro a
of course the other end is just standard.
The place I work has a 5' nice quality cable that fits my Captivate tight. They got them to go with the 2100mA USB Car Charger we sell. Cost on the cable is $ 4.99 plus shipping (about $2.99 first class parcel).

I'm not sure if its quality, or just chance, but I've found that only some 3rd-party cables will work. I've tried a blackberry one that didn't work, and a really cheap one that did.
I would suggest keeping the one you got from samsung, just in case.
I'd like to know if anyone else had issues with cables not working?
I got a Samsung cable designed for the galaxy S on Amazon for like $6 with free shipping.

I had the same problem.
I used some tools(hammer,knife, etc) to fix the cable.
Now my cable works fine!!

I just used a razor blade to trim the rubber back, works great.
If you look at your cable. The black part and the silver part(part that goes in your phone) is not in a straight line.
Just try to make it straight. And use a knife to cut the rubber of the edge a little bit.
That should do the trick.

I haven't read all of the posts so I don't know if someone has already posted a solution to this problem, so I'll just answer.
I had this same problem. If you notice their are two tiny metal teeth that lock the charger into the phone. These teeth no longer stick out as far as they used to. That is why you are having this problem. The teeth are not bent. It is the micro usb plug that is around it. All that you need to do is give it a firm bush on the table. Bend the plug away from the teeth so that they stick out more. This fixed my problem.
When you put it back into your phone, you will notice that the plug is no longer in the phone at an angle.

You should saved me from buying 3 more cables. I distroyed my OEM cable to make a jig because I bricked my phone. I ordered 3 sets of cables and they all had the same problem.... Usb kept popping off. So I was just about to go out and order 3 more sets if cables, this time OEM untill I decided to read this tread. It never occured to me that it was fitting in well because of the extra rubber on the connector. I trimmed it down and now the cable snapped in perfectly like it was supposed to. Thanks for the fix!

I'm afraid of buying the wrong cable off Amazon. There is so much out there. Can anyone post a link?

I know this is getting old, but it took me about 2 hours to find an answer that WASN'T recommending to just make sure the slider was all the way open. For no reason at all, my phone cable just wouldn't hold a real connection this morning... your answer saved the day
For cables that are good quality and cheap, go to www.meritline.com ....... I have never gotten a bad cable from them, typically I use their HDMI cables but the USB cables are less complex and work just as well. My last usb cable was one of theirs.
So, after a couple weeks of trying to figure out the problem, I have finally narrowed it down (yay me!).
Anyways, when there is a cable (and sometimes not) plugged into the USB Port on the phone, and the port is stressed so that it is angled downwards, all input to the touchscreen goes haywire. I attempted to follow the ifixit guide, however I don't have any plastic removal parts, and using my fingers and nails was becoming really painful, but, I don't think it is going to work, because the headphone port began to come off as well, and judging by the pictures in the guide, that isn't supposed to happen.
Anyways, I am wondering, is there any way to fix this? Possibly other then opening the device up? Or should I just go to the repair store and swap it out?
If I do swap it out, what is my chance that I would get a new phone versus a refurb, seeing as how the phone is so new?

Known issue.
Potential solution: use a different USB cord.

Ive tried this. A new cord actually didn't work for me. I also tried it with a different phone, which is where I came to the conclusion that its the actual charging plug. Something in it is either fried or just malfunctioning. The cause of it is unknown, but luckiliy i have a few micro usb chargers laying around and the rest work fine. You should also ask yourselves the following question: Do you have the same problem when charging thru usb on a Comp? If the answer to that question is no, then its clearly not the USB wire. If the answer was yes, then I just didnt have the same problem as you and you can disregard this entire post.
Hi, I was wondering if anybody is using dust covers over the USB slot (and headphone jack).
*I was wondering if there are covers that fits flush in the n7000.
*if they actually do help keep then out
because my phone was showing charge even though was no charging wire connected.
I tried erasing cache, changing battery, reformat phone and nothing helped.
so I cleaned my USB port with a toothpick and all these grey dirt came out. for now everything is working but I don't want this to happen again. I was so desperate I was thinking of removing the battery and cleaning the USB port with alcohol.

thanks for asking forgot about them, this site has pretty good reviews, their dust covers will be good as well I imagine
I bought the usb charging module there, works like the original.
NO WAY! You replaced the charging port on your Note 1?
I was thinking of doing the same thing. But I was going to buy the part from eBay.
Here's the video of how to replace it.

Yeah I did. The module I got worked. make sure you get a n7000 for a n7000.
Do not follow that tutorial. Removing the whole motherboard is to risky. I just removed back cover, at the bottom is the charging module, you can swap it without taking out whole motherboard.

THANKS MAN! I totally did not remove the motherboard and it slips right out. so easy!
Well I screwed up. USB Port started to not work and when I pulled it apart the Port Ripped off of the main board. It actually damaged the pcb where it ripped the tracks out. So I'm unsure of what to do. I just bid on a broken screen KF2 on ebay.
But Wondering if anyone knows of where I can get a broken KF2 that prob has this part?

Just send it back to Amazon and they will send you a new one, Just say you pulled in the cable, nothing happened, went to remove it and the port broke away from the PCB, Should be covered by the warranty.
Its rooted and on JellyBean!
lol just got off the phone with Amazon. So the lady guided me through some things and then we go to plug it up... the damn Tablet Charges! WTF! lol I guess the Data connectors were the ones damaged (I did try to resolder but the only ones that would were the two outside).
This is Bew Shhhhh lol
Yeah two outside pins are power, and you voided the warranty buy opening it and soldering on to it, live and learn, eh?
I wanna cry! Even tho its not the best device I've had, because the crap memory and no camera.... but besides that, this lil thing rocks on CM10. Powerful, Smooth and no flaws. I am gonna try to get as much for it as possible. It still charges so thats a plus. Only way to transfer data to it is via wifi, google drive and so on. Hopefully I can get enough for it in its condition to pickup another one with some additional cash.
I have opened up a cheap QI Wireless charger for a DIY project, I am looking to extend the distance between the PCB and and the coil but not sure what type of cable to use or where to get it from. I am assuming it would be copper cable of some kind? Anyone done the same or got any advice?
I was about to write that a pair of thick wires will do (something at least as thick as the ones in the coil). Then I did a search on Google and checked another thread that I happened to have opened a few seconds after yours (just checked the new threads in this section).
So check this guys contraption. I don't know if there's a difference in charging time due to the mentioned cables, but I guess he's the one with the most experience around here.

Thanks for the reply. That thread is where I got my inspiration from and you may notice that is it only back near the top of the forum because I asked my question there too shortly before starting this topic.
Just be careful where you put it, not to have a too thick panel between the coil and the phone. It will reduce the charging efficiency.
