So my wife has the S3 phone, and when she plugs it in, she has to do a song and dance just to get it to charge. While it's just sitting, most times the connection notification sound will go haywire as the connection is loose. I've tried using different cables and it's the same thing. It's a factory phone, no mods done to it as she'll kill me if I do anything to it. Has anyone dealt with this? Did you bring it in? Would I be charged a fee to get it replaced with the same phone? Thanks for your input.

You could always just buy extra batteries and an external battery charger. Then you never have to plug it in. They are cheap on Amazon.

I want something that will plug directly into a micro USB phone. I'm aware of the multitudes of this design:

I had one, thought it was garbage, it made an irritating noise both charging and discharging, its connection was hit and miss as bumping it might disconnect it, and eventually less than 6 months later it stopped working. It was advertised as a 2800mAh but its charge was extremely poor. Yet, those are the only type of chargers I can find, all from various companies using the exact same design.
The Motorola P790 is ideally the type of thing I'm looking for, it even comes with a slide out USB so it can't get damaged, but it's no good since it's a mini USB and would require packing around cords:
I'm not looking for a mega charger, one charge or so is fine as I'm not trying to carry around more than a second phones weight in a charger. I find it extremely odd that with so many phones out there, there hasn't been a decent micro USB charger without cords that I can find.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Hi folks,
Been having this problem for a little while now and decided I'm fed up with it. My Verizon GN will only charge if I wrap the cord around it as such:

I have tried multiple cords and the problem always persists. Any suggestions on now to go about getting this fixed?
Thanks!
Since you have tried multiple cables.. It could be the wall piece of the charger not having a good connection around the USB, try a new one of those.
LOL....
sorry didnt mean to laugh.
1) the power cube/brick(where the USB attaches) might be faulty
2) the charge slot on the phone might be faulty
3) all of the above

How do I go about fixing this?
Appreciate the input!
It may the electronic where its charging. I recently moved out of an area where the power was bad and suffered a similar issue to a new area and now my phone has had issues
It sounds like probably the USB port on your phone is bad. Wrapping the cord around the phone must hold the plug in just the right position it needs to be in to connect correctly.
My phone isnt charging,,,well really it charges but maaaaaaaaaad slow. Its not the ROM because i have been on two since this problem and i usually switch between those two ROMS. i think something is wrong with the MicroUSB port. Everytime i put the phone on a charger it starts and stops charging like it has a short in the wire. i know its not the charger because i have used 3 different wires and tried another E4GT ITS the phone. My question is...how can i fix this? I used to use my sisters E4GT to charge up the battery and put it in my phone but she stop letting me do that so now im SOL.
Bad battery or bad charging port, buy a couple extra batteries and an external charger.... If it's the charging port, there is no way to fix it without taking it to a professional, if it's the battery, buy a new one.

I've had my phone for about 2 or so months and it hasn't been charging. More accurately, it's been charging extremely slowly. Ever since the first time I've charged it, it has yet to ever charge to full battery even when I leave Kris charged overnight. I've already changed the battery and that hasn't affected anything so I'm pretty sure it's not the battery's problem but the phone's problem.
I don't have any mega-draining apps downloaded or running (I always exit fully out of my apps) other than the default ones running in the background. I've also tried switching chargers to no avail. I've gone from the Samsung charger that came with it to another USB cord to a battery-only charger and none of them have worked. I charged it overnight but today when I disconnected the phone from the charger my phone just shut off.
If you could help me at all that would be very much appreciated
Could be a faulty charge port?
I had a similar issue and traced it to the charging cable. I swapped the cable (not the charger) between my phone and the wife's and the problem followed the cable. Got a new one and the problem was solved.
Best way to test is with the power off

Hi guys,
I'm getting my Pixel 2 in few days and I'm currently looking at accessories on Amazon. I would like to get a dock/craddle to recharge overnight on my night stand. I don't believe I need fast charging/PD for that, since the Pixel will have all night to charge. Do you have any recommendations ? I can use my Google charger power brick if the dock doesn't come with one.
How much time does the Pixel 2 takes to charge anyway on fast and slow charge ?
Thanks,
Neo.
I looked into cradles and to be honest they are way too limiting. In order to use them, you have to put the phone into a slot so that it charges, it is fixed and not very flexible.
Instead, I use a mount called a Clutchit and a regular power cable.

With it, I can just place it on the mount, in any orientation (portrait, landscape or anywhere inbetween). It just holds it and it is very easy to take and put it back on without worrying if I got it into the slot correctly. It will even hold a tablet.
I use it with a 6ft cable to an original Pixel 2 charger plug and chargers in Rapid mode.
No association with them other than I own several of these.
