Hi
I'm asking here because my googling doesn't find anything. I was very unlucky to drop my phone with my Micro USB charger put in. It landed on the floor directly on the cable, resulting the micro usb to bend 90 degrees. (I think this also resulted that the house housing the micro usb got widened too).. After this I can't charge the phone.
Is there any of you that know how to "fix" this? Can I "mash" the housing together again somehow without destroying my phone?
Thanks in advance

I received the phone and everything was great except i couldnt charge or connect to my computer because the phone didnt show that it ws connected at all (The battery icon remained the same), by mistake I found out that if I tilt up the cable, the phone will recognize it and charge as everything was normal. If I look closely and compare this usb port with other mini usb ports from other devices in the house I noticed it was tilted a bit down. So I put a sliver of duct tape and used it as a shim and put it between the male end of the usb port and the phone case itself, well it seems to work but Im afraid that it wont work for long. Anyway, to the meat of the question. I found some usb mini connectors on ebay for the t989 and when I have looked at the teardown I see that its attached to the motherboard as it was just plugged in, but then at the same time I see two solder points on the mobo as well. I don't know a dam thing about soldering other than what a soldered are looks like. Has anybody had any experience in removing the usb connector on this phone? Or just knows by looking at it how it is attached.
Thanks
Well before you do anything...it's micro usb Ports that you want

Can you link me to the tear down? I've been looking for one. And as posted before they are micro not mini USB ports. Also, I've noticed the horrible connectivity oon all my devices with micro USB ports. Even my brothers brand new optimus q from straight talk has this problem.

So I had installed a 2012 Nexus 7 in my car dash. That went relatively easy since you could just move the ribbon cable for the charge port and plug almost any cable into it. I have it apart and decided to upgrade to the 2013 version. The problem is the screen is attached to the same board the Micro usb port is soldered to and I have almost no room on the side of the tablet. It being a Hair taller is killing me. Does anyone know where I can get a very low profile micro usb cable? Something similar to what is attached to this charger. Need it to have data as well. Or if anyone has any ideas on what could be done I'd like to hear.

I want to use 90 ° micro usb cable, that would not fit?
An Idea
The board with the micro USB can easily be removed with a small screwdriver so it would just hang behind the nexus inside the car. That's no good if you plan on using the nexus like a regular tablet.
Hi, I've been noticing over the past few days that my phone has had difficulties connecting to my pc over USB and charges very slowly. I've tested multiple USB cables but the phone consistently drops out and I either get that repeating connecting/disconnecting or an error stating that the USB device cannot be recognised. If I place the usb-c connector just right, the phone will connect and I can copy files over, etc. However, during the last copy, my micro sd card corrupted which has given me no shortage of grief as it was a 128GB card filled with irreplaceable family photos and FLAC files that I ripped myself. I also noticed that my OTG adapters have difficulties connecting so I can confirm that the issue is not the cable or my computer but the connector on the phone. Understandably this issue has been incredibly annoying but I also don't want to take the phone back since I have a nice Orlzy protector and Dbrand skin applied. Is the port stuffed or is there some sort of fix? Any comments will help, thanks.
I'd take a look inside the connector and check for any obvious issues in there (dust, cloth particles, etc)
On the M7 the port kept filling with random crap which at some point made the USB connection very loose.
I had to scrape it out with a needle once in a while.
But yea, if that doesn't help, I'd send it in...
I have recently gained possession of an Xperia Z3+ but I can't get it to charge properly (or at all at the moment). It kinda charges when every USB cable that I have used so far is far way into the USB port. I was told that the Z3+ uses cables with metallic ends that are slightly longer than the usual micro usb cable but I'm not sure about that.
The usb port does seem a bit deeper than other phones but I'd like some reassurance...

My normal and old micro usb cables do the job just fine. If you feel that the plug is not going deep enough then you can cut a piece of the rubber-plastic around the microusb plug and retry.
Yeah it uses a standard mirco USB sync cable. Id try cleaning out the charge port. You can kinda pick around in there to extract any lint that might be packed down in there, preventing the cable from seating properly. Then swab with 91% alcohol to clean the contacts on the charge ports. Try a few known-good cables and see if it helped out. Of course make sure the port is dry before testing. There are some videos on YouTube about cleaning the port that you might chrck out also
Hi everyone.
I have my Pixel 2Xl for about 2 Years and everytime I put it on the charger the OG USB C Cable falls out of the port. Do anybody know how to fix it or do you know any USB C Cable that have a bigger USB C Pin so that the cable doesn't fall out every time?
Thanks
Have you checked very carefully that there is no crud in the usb port, you can use a pin and may be surprised on what is in there, my thinking is that it is possible dirt may be stopping a good connection.
Yes I have check the port. The Problem is that the cable fall out of the phone and I have test the feature with 3 different cables and every cable fall out
Had the same problem. Get a sim ejector tool, and use it to remove the gunk from your charging port. It wouldnt be visible as such, but you might be able to "feel" it as the base of the port would appear uneven when you move the ejector tool`s pin around. You would be surprised to see how much gunk and lint is there in your port. Once properly cleaned, your cable should start clicking in properly.
A safer method is to clean the gunk with a tooth floss stick.
