Anyone else find the stock USB-C cable difficult to unplug from the phone? One handed removal is not possible for me. This is my first experience with USB-C , so I didn't know if this is normal for the C standard or if anyone else is finding the same thing.

The stock cable is a tight fit. I've only used one other USB-C cable with the phone and that one (by Techmatte) is not as tight, it's easier to connect and disconnect. So I think it's the stock cable, and not the phone's port, that's causing the problem.
I found the best way of removing USB-C cable is a direct pull. I had a habit to pull my microUSB cable with a little shaking left and right and I found if you do that with USB-C cable, it actually gets harder to be removed.

I'm looking for a coiled cord with a USB end to use in my car. Anyone know of such an item?
Thanks,
Something like this?

No. it has the mini-USB to plug into the phone on one end, and a USB connection to plug into whatever on the other, but the cord is coiled as well.

1. New phones use Micro usb, not mini
2. How difficult was this to search for yourself on ebay? "coiled micro usb"
http://www.ebay.ca/sch/i.html?_from...kw=coiled+micro+usb&_sacat=See-All-Categories
or retractable usb?

more here.. these aren't very reliable since they usually wear out from constantly retracting.. i'd pick the motorola here, more durable, and the usb won't pull out the socket since it's integrated, but whatever floats your boat
I think this is what you want

Is it hard for anyone else to use any other USB cord on the galaxy nexus? It feel like the connector gets caught on something and it won't go into the port. I am using the HP TouchPad USB cord if anyone really needs to know. It is a really irritating problem since I would rather use my longer micro USB cable rather than the short one that comes in the box. Can anyone provide any insight or something? What is the cord getting caught on? Should I be worried because I heard that the USB port has some problems. Thanks.
Since i got my Note II, whenever i got insert the micro usb cable to charge the phone and try to use the phone just a little bit of pull and the micro usb will fall out..its like really loose anyone with such problems...?? I realyl do not want to return my note II since i already rooted it..and custom rom and kernel..

Have you tried other USB cables? I have the same problem with my stock USB cable too and thought there might be something wrong with my phone, but then I tried a different USB cable and it held on well.

This was my experience as well. Try other cables before you swap out your phone! :good:
The same with my cable. I guess they did it on purpose, that whenever your phone is 'tugged' the usb cable will be released instead of your movement being violently restricted by the force of the cable, which may cause you to drop your phone.
Any way, i bought a 3rd party flat USB cable which length exceeds 3 - 4 times the original cable , and it fits tightly in my phone's USB port. So i believe it is cable related.
I have the same problem, I guess it's just the one they sent. Oh well.
I did buy another cable, however I noticed that charging becomes extremely slow with it. I'm hoping to be able to find a better one that can support the higher charge needed for the phone, in the meantime I'll be leaving the phone down while charging I guess.

+1 same thing for me too. I was so worried thought it was a problem with the charging port but it seems the problem is with the charger cable. Using other cable is no issues.
Obviously it pops out very easy. I'm on my 3rd Samsung Micro USB cable, all are same.
But then I've tried my friends Galaxy Ace cable and it was fine. So you just buy a different Micro USB cable which will have same 2A output like stock one.

I. too, was worried when i first got the fone.... but it's the stock cable... tried another cable from another brand/manufacturer and it fits perfect.
I seem to be quite lucky. My stock cable fits nice and snug. I can even dangle the phone upside down holding only the cable and it wont come out unless I swing it or tug it harder lol
If you compare the stock cable with other cables you'll see that the plug on the stock cable is usually shorter than other cables by a millimetre or 2 so the little prongs on the plug probably arent grabbing onto the slots of the phone
Mine 2. I just stick blue tack on it

Yup, same here. I find the cable that came with my wife's Kindle is the best fit - needs a real pull to detach it!
Hello everyone,
This is my 2nd note II. My first device had a few problems and now this one seems to have a loose charger port. Also, when I connect this device to my tv via microusb, the tv screen flickers (could be an indicator of a faulty micro usb port). Has anyone had the problem of their charger wire falling out of the microusb port? What did you do to fix it? If you sent it to samsung did they return the device in working condition without any dings or scratches?
Thanks im adv

Mine was perfect for the first few weeks, but eventually got a bit loose so I replaced the USB cable which did the trick. Ive heard of other cases where the usb ports became loose, but not to the point of it falling off on its own.

hey i did try the usb wire that came with my samsung media dock... its a bit more snug, but it came off randomly after a while. my samsung otg usb cable fits great... the thing that concerns me is that sometimes when i connect my device to my media dock (uses the microusb port) which connects my phone to my tv, the screen on the tv flickers. this could be an indication of a faulty microusb port... but heres the confusing thing, ive tried transferring files to and from my computer via microusb and it works fine, so that would be an indication of a working usb port.
from what you have heard or read, was the consensus a problem with the usb port or the wire?
thanks
Yes, the wire was the culprit based on my reading.
Better have your phone checked. Im sure it's well within Samsung's warranty period
Ironically the best cable i use is a blackberry one, excellent secure fit

Hi there,
So my original OnePlus data/charging cable is damaged and I have to put it in a certain position to get it to charge my phone. I had a spare but my friend has left it at his parents house and I don't think I'm going to get it back. I've been using the short charge cable that came with my OnePlus power bank to charge my phone.
I tried some old micro USB cables that I had lying around from older devices. They work for charging but they don't seem to let me connect my phone to my PC.
I also do not like the style of USB head that OnePlus put on their official cables, the plastic tab with the contact points does not sit firmly in the USB ports on my computer.
I want to get a couple of replacement USB cables for charging and data transfer but I don't know which cables would work with my OnePlus One. I would like to avoid an official OnePlus Micro USB cable as the USB connector is too loose.
Can anyone suggest a cable for me to get? I would like it to be able to charge at full speed and also work with USB file transfers and have a normal USB head on the cable so it sits firmly in the port.
I just don't want to order a wire and find out it doesn't work with the phone. I seem to remember my phone has always been picky with USB cables and I do have some driver issues that may be caused by the wire type.
Thanks,

Using 1+'s original cable is always the best get.

Actually, yes. I've had my One for more than 2 years now and changed the cable as well. There are actually 2 cables I can recommend as of now - from Nillkin and from Aukey. Both are sturdy, solid, fast and just do their job as good as they should. Aukey, however, is much better in one aspect: it's longer. 2m vs 1.2m. Aaaaand it still charges with full 2.1A current, which, in my opinion, is pretty awesome. Both of them are also pretty cheap - you can buy them for ~ 5$ - just search for them on Aliexpress
I had good experiences with Sharkoon and LogiLink cables.
I've got the 5 pack from Anker and it's doing well. On a test it had good performance and was very cheap on Amazon.
Item model number: AK-B7103011
ASIN: B00Q88RI0S
You should get USB cable with Micro USB
Thanks for the replies, I guess my main concern was getting a USB cable that works for data transfer. I ended up ordering a triple pack of Aukey USB's. 2 x 1m and 1 x 2m cables. The description said that they work with 2.1a chargers and USB 2.0 data transfer which is what I need.
Thank you for the suggestions !
Can you please share the link of the purchase

Here you go, that's the exact pack I bought.
Is this as good as the original cable for charging & data transfer
You can try BlitzWolf reversible micro usb cable. It's able to charge with full 2A current and most funny, it's really reversible, so it does not matter which side you connect to your phone (unlike normal micro usb connector).

Yeah, it charges quickly, and data transfer works great. I haven't benchmarked it or anything but its doing its job, and the 2m cable is great! It still charges quickly despite being longer. The micro USB head has a satisfyingly click when plugged in and the USB head is normal and works well.
