Help guys. Do appreciate a little help here. I have a phone cover for Galaxy Note and it covers it perfectly except a little problem with the opening of cover at the microUSB area. The hole over the microUSB area is not properly cut. It means that whenever I would plug the microUSB wire into the port during charging, it wouldn't fit perfectly. However, the battery still indicates that it is charging eventhough the microUSB charging wire is only plugged into the microUSB port halfway.Battery always charged to a 100%. My question is could plugging the microUSB wire halfway into the port damage the phone in anyway while it's charging? Thanks.
Not likely, but there is a chance it might damage the phone. Since it's not properly inserted, some connectors might hit wrong pins, especially when moved.
Probably best to just take the case off for charging.
I'm having a bit of an issue with my usb port where I need to push the cable upwards (if you are facing the phones screen) in order for the phone to begin charging. It also is taking a little longer than normal. I have tried a different cable as well with the same result.
Is there anyway to repair the usb port on the HD7? I just took the case apart on the back, but the port is still shielded. Is there any instructions out there on how to replace this port?
Iron soldering or a new board, your choice.
try with the soldering, if that fails, a new board must be bought, it cost around $25-$35 online.
Hi, 3 days ago I decided to clean my micro usb port from my moto G, there was dust in impurities gathered inside and the cable woud pop out. after that the phone refused to charge anymore.. THe port looks fine. However, when I open the phone is fastboot mode, It does display that I plugged in the usb cable into the computer, but its still not charging. Anyone has a familiar experience or advice. I decided to come to you guys first before taking the phone to the bin, I mean to the serivice.
How did you clean the USB port? I mean what did you use? You have to be careful as you don't want to damage the connections inside. Best way usually is very gently with a toothpick first for larger particles. Then try using a dust buster to hoover up smaller dust particles and finally a cotton ear bud(dry) and don't ram it in there otherwise some of the cotton fibres can come loose and stay behind in USB port. I sometimes as an extra measure might take lid off bottle of my computer monitor cleaning spray and quick dip the earbud in the solution so its barely damp. The reason I recommend the PC monitor cleaning spray is that it is designed to be used on fragile surfaces and creates minimal or no static, which is one of the last things you need in a charging port, lots of static!
I'm having a hard time getting my charger to stay in the charging port of my XZ1 Compact. This problem has been developing for months - first it started with non-Sony USB-C chargers, and now finally even my Sony USB-C charger keeps popping back out of the charging port. Sometimes I can get it to stay by pressing it in REALLY firmly, but it still doesn't feel as snug and secure as when I bought this phone last April.
I've removed some dust and debris from the phone's charging port, but it hasn't changed anything.
Has anyone else had this problem? Any recommendations? Thanks all.
I have the same problem. But i think it's my chargers fault. I think my kid used it on a wrong phone ?
I has this problem as well. The reason was dust inside the USB c connector on the xz1c.
The first thing I did to fix it was to shut down the phone.
I used a needle and a toilet paper to remove the dust inside the connector.
I just tidied up around the USB board and made sure that I didn't scratch / touch it with the needle.
After I had taken out a certain amount of dust with the needle, I wiped the dust into the paper and altogether I had taken out several dust balls.
I've had troubles charging my phone (xz1 compact, so usb c port) for over a year. Only few cables worked, and still fit in port was not good, figured I damaged the port at some point. I've removed dirt and dust on multiple occasions with paper clip or similar, which slightly helped. Today I used a wooden toothpick, which seemed to be the optimal for fit and allowing sufficient force to scrape and remove dust at the deep end of the port. The amount that came out was surprising and now all cables fit, lock and charge perfectly again.
Just figured I'd share this, even if you think you've removed dust or there is none.. Try better
I had that problem too. But like @jurrienk said...try harder. I didn't believe it at first,but it's the dust?
I've had this problem for several months, I have done all the cleaning processes suggested (except using gum), pin, toothpick, digging deep, etc. No lint - but I don't keep it in a pocket, I keep it in a purse (satin lining), there was a tiny bit of black residue on the toothpick, so I dipped the toothpick in alcohol to try to cut that. It didn't really get anything more. USB C connector still loose as a goose - pretty much falls right out. I can't find my original Sony USB C charge cable, but if I remember correctly it had quit working. Very frustrating when using the phone with Android Auto, constantly have to re-insert cord while driving and restart Android Auto just for GPS. Anybody found anything else that worked like magic?

Same here. Only original cable still working, falling out often, must be carefully wigled in again. No other generic usb-c cables working, and I tried a lot of them. Cleaning the port did not help...
I got the phone for like 2 years now, so maybe the port is just worn out?
Turns out my issue was dust and lint. It was really in there. I did a deep clean, way deeper than I thought, and found tons of debris. My port worked great after that*.
*Actually, it continued to attract dust and debris, and every 4 months or so I'd have to clean it out again, so I got a magnetic charger with a nub that stays in my USB-C port fulltime. Problem solved!
Hey guys,
i found out that my USB-C to 3,5mm Headphone adapter isnt working anymore.
PC Connection works but it disconnects and reconnect every 10sec.
Charging without problems.
Probably because i accidentally dropped the phone while charger plugged in...
already tried to clean the jack with spray.
under microscope it looks like some pins are bent and some are missing (see screenshots)
is there any better way to fix than trying to slightly lift the pins with a needle?
