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.

Folks....
I have a question about the pin out of a USB cable. I have a cable that has a micro USB connector at one end (it plugs into my HTC EVO) and the other end is a standard USB connector.
This cable works just fine when I charge my HTC EVO. However, my computers can not see my htc evo. So I installed software from Sprint called "HTC Sync" version 3 something. Nothing.
So here is my question. Are USB cables that are sold as "Sync" cables have a different pin out than a USB cable that is used for power?
Maybe I need to change a setting in my phone to make it sync?
In settings, under Connect to PC, I have it set up as:
Default Connect Type = HTC Sync
Ask me is checked
I also tried:
Default Connect type = Disk drive
Ask me is checked
Can some of you give me some advice?
Thanks

I can't speak on usb pins but I do know that there are some shoddy low quality usb cables out there (the ones that come with epic 4g) and some good high quality ones (the ones that come with the palm pre). with the low quality ones I can't copy files to my card.
In general, unless it's sold as a power cable, it should have the normal connections. Some cables have the data lines cut and shorted together, which tells the phone it can draw more power than a normal USB port provides. These should only be used with chargers due to the risk of burning out a PC's USB port.
A good way to test is to plug it in, open Spare Parts and go to Battery Information, then see if it says it's charging on AC.
Not all usb cables are created equally.

USB Cable Charging but not Sync
Some cables do not have hooks and they are loose in phone. This also prevent to connect it with PC for sync.

Look sturdy but break too easily. Not as cheap as most chinese made but these cables usually break in about 2 months for me. Dont even think about folding it and putting it in a bag for those frail,dying HTC phones.
I wonder if these are easy to fix...
-Can anyone recommend a simple way to handle these wires or a more durable wire? I dont want to buy one every month. I'm thinking about http://www.amazon.com/Micro-Retractable-Cable-Samsung-Vibrant/dp/B004SK35M8/ref=sr_1_19?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1328931599&sr=1-19.
I herd with root and some roms
I herd with root and some roms sync wont work .. make sure u have all the right drivers and ..Ive had a cavle that would work for mass storage for one phone and not another...
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.
I had the phone for like 2 months now,anyways the phone stops charging if i move the cable slightly.I noted that the second cooper pin from the micro usb is missing of pushed idk.It's charging but its annoying when I use it while charging.I tried different cables but they don't work or chargr slowly.Do you think I can fix it with a needle or something?
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
Hey all, I'm having a really weird issue (Google searches give nothing but the static/generic answer on how to access this area), where my USB Options are no longer there, when I tap the three dots, in the Storage area.
Stock Firmware, Android 6.0.1, Rooted using TWRP Recovery. I've never had an issue with this before, and it was working fine a week ago. No new apps installed, since then.
When I plug the device into my computer, it says charging, but no other USB connection.
Any one have any ideas, as to why or better still, how to get it back?
Thanks
EDIT/UPDATE: I did a factory reset, and it's still not there. I can't even completely wipe it, and start fresh since I can't access it at all, from my PC.
I had a similar issue. The tablet stopped charging and the data connection was being interrupted all the time.
It might happen that the female micro-USB connector (on the tablet) becomes unfirm/loose after some years of use. The micro-USB connectors are well-known to fail after some years, because there are two pins that fix the male connector inside the female one. They get loose over time. This is a general frailty of female micro USB connectors in all devices.
- Try an other usb cable. (Better: try out different cables, perhaps one will work.)
Also, the female connector might be dirty. There might be debris on the contacts.
- You can try to clean the female connector (at your own risk!), I did it carefully with a tissue soaked with ethanol.
In theory, it might be possible to replace/repair the connector if everything else fails.
