Two dead cables in a week - General Accessories

Hey there, two of my micro USB cables just died in a week. I've been using my Samsung cable for like 2 or 3 years without any problem with my Galaxy.
Then I got this Chinaphone and two of my cables died in a week. The Samsung one isn't even charging the phone, it's completely dead. The one that came with the phone is now only charging the phone, but not connecting it to PC. Both cables worked fine for few days, charging and connecting it to a PC.
Not even going to recovery and mounting USB storage is being recognized by the PC.
Is there a possibility that my phone is killing them or what? What should I do?
Edit: Now even the second cable is completely dead.

Micro USB cable issues

Is anyone else having issues with the USB-microUSB cable provided by Samsung?
I have had trouble physically getting it plugged into the charging block and staying seated. However, my biggest issue is connecting it to my laptop. I plug it in, connected to nothing on the micro end and Windows tries to install drivers and eventually errors out. Then I can't connect my phone at all. I had to use my cable from my HTC EVO to get the ODIN connection for rooting working properly.
I seem to remember when my mom got her Samsung Transform, we had similar issues with the USB-microUSB that came from Samsung and we had to use my cable to root her phone too.
What is with Samsung and shotty USB cables?

[Q] No USB Cables Will Charge My Galaxy S3 Help!!

I’m having a problem charging my AT&T Galaxy S3 rooted. No USB cables work to charge my phone. Whether it be the one it came with in the box or one from wall mart. I’ve also tried all the USB cables, HTC, Samsung, and others. Also tried the USB mini Best Buy sells for these phones.
Before I had this problem USB cables would work just fine but all the sudden they stopped working.
The only way I can get any USB cables to work is if I hold it at an angle and itll charge and stop randomly but charges very slow if held at an angle.
Only way I can get my phone to charge is if I use a wall charger. I have tried all the USB cables with my car, lap tops, and usb to wall adapters.
HELP PLEASE!

That's a hardware problem.. not much we can do about it. You most likely damaged your USB port and will need to replace it.
You can contact mobiletechvideos.com for their services if you don't know how to replace it yourself.

Connecting P2XL to USB-C to USB-C via motherboard

I can't figure this out... I have an ASRock Motherboard Motherboards Z370 EXTREME4 motherboard with a USB-C output on it and using Win10. I've tried using the P2XL USB-C to USB-C cord to connect my phone to the computer to transfer files. I get nothing that shows up on the phone, yet everything is updated and working on the computer.
Any ideas?
Also as a side note, I have a dozen or so regular USB-C cords. Only 1 actually works just connecting it to a USB port on the computer. Some don't recognize anything, some will recognize the phone and let me transfer files only to have it drop the connection and reconnect to the phone. The 1 cord that actually does work, works as expected. Also this same issue happened on my old PC as well. Only 1 cord works with this phone and everything is updated. I've tried other computers with same issue.
I've also noticed I can only charge my phone with a couple of 120v USB outlets. Lots of them won't charge my phone, even though the phone says it's charging.....just never gains any charge.
I have a pretty similar issue with a C to C connection using my Razer Blade. I have this happen with the OEM cable and a couple of non-OEM C to C cable. I can't remember ever having an issue with my HTC 10 using a C to C, or when I use a USB A to C cable with this phone. While I'm not entirely convinced it's not my USB C port on my laptop, more evidence points to it being my Pixel rather than the port.
It's not the biggest issue for me because it's not a constant hindrance and I can usually get any transfer to finish.
Think I've been down this road... No fix. No idea what is happening or why.
The only option I have is to use my 1 cord to transfer. I usually am transferring several gigs at a time. I never had this issue with same cords for my original pixel XL.
What gets me is I even has issues using us chargers even. They say it's charging but never gain any charge.
Kind of thinking my phone has been defective
Wiped it yesterday and tried again with the OEM USB-C to USB-C cable, no luck even recognizing the phone, even to charge. I did however use a USB-A to USB-C 3.0 cable that didn't ever work originally and it copy 15gb of music without an issue.
I'll keep testing, as well as test it on the chargers that didn't work previously. I will also contact ASRock as I believe possibly my motherboard's port for the C-to-C not to work with the phone. It's not the worst thing not being able to use it, as I'm happy I can finally transfer files at 3.0 speeds now! SO MUCH quicker copying files back onto the phone than when I pulled them off!

Problems with USB-C connector?

I noticed that when I connect the phone via an USB-C cable to my computer or to an USB stick, the connector only works in one direction, like in the old USB-B days. When I rotate the plug it no longer works reliable.
Haven't faced such an issue. You should try another cable and if the issue is persistent, maybe the USB connector itself is having issues and you should reach out to Nokia service.
I tried several cables and eventually got in contact with retailer and received a new device. On the night before the new device arrived, I couldn't really charge the phone. Hopefully this won't happening again.

Usb stuck no longer works

Afternoon all,
Just out of interest anyone notice that they can't transfer files over OTG USB anymore mine was working fine a few weeks ago. Bought myself a USB C stick recently and thought I'd transfer some videos across but it's not recognised. Did think could be usb but the other one that I usually use via Samsung adapter doesn't work either. But work in s4 tablet. Last update was May and just security I believe. Cheers
Yes my SM-G960W S9 just randomly decided that USB file transfer should stop working and OTG devices are not recognized any longer. USB charging properly. Any storage device when connected the phone says device connected for charging. My wife's phone same and purchased same time is working fine. Tried many things like cleaning contacts different cables different memory sticks. All of which work on her phone. Have fun figuring this out. Been trying for months.
