That is a pretty neat thing to get.
I do have the IPAKY case, and i guess i would need to actually see if it fits with this usb adapter in reality.
I found earlier only one brand who put sizes in mm of magnetic microusb to description. It was on Amazon, and was before I buy ipaky case. Now i can't found it on Amazon, probably all was sold.?

Whats the impact to the phone? Read some reviews and there are claims that the charging circuit was fried and the battery lost its original capacity. These were for other phones though.

Battery capacity lost ? From cable ? hm
What can be fried if this a same cable, for 2.4A and if with normal 2.4A gold plated contacts ?
was looking at this too, some reviews on amazon says doesn't charge as fast a direct plug. If you try it pls post feedback.
Hey everyone, I have just seen these usb adaptors that clip into your usb port. Then magnetically connect to a USB cable for data/charging. Anyone using one? Would you recommend?
Here is an example
WSKEN XCable Magnetic USB Cable

Interesting. I didn't know those were available. I wonder how well they'd work with the M8...
Looks like its a standard friction fit in the USB port, but you leave it inserted all the time. The magnet is only used to connect the cable to the port adapter.
The perk of wireless charging because it doesn't wear out your port, but it should be a lot more efficient and run a lot cooler than using a wireless charging adapter.
I may have to order a few. I wonder if it will play nice with quickcharge2.0... hmm...
Hi, yes, interesting. I can see a big advantage from not pluging/unpluging.
But from the photo it looks like the flat magnetic part will cover the headphone socket.
Anyone tried this (or similar) yet?

I don';t think it will because if you look at the picture you can see the "plug" you put in your phone is the same width as the other end of the cable, I just compared that to a USB cable I have here, seems to be enough room, but not for big 3,5mm plugs I think, I think it would leave like 2mm space
Hi, had a quick look on Amazon and they have similar ones with the plug in part that looks smaller. only thing is some reviews say they fall out too easily. Also needs to be checked with clearance for your own case (if you use one).
If I see one in a shop I would like to give it a try though.
It has really bad reviews. I am looking for a good replacement cable. Don't know why HTC doesn't sell them for the M8 or M9. I have tried different brands Anker and they are junk. Can't find a good cable that doesn't wear out. Any advice would be great.

I ordered these (http://www.ebay.com/itm/152249400751?_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT) from ebay and I absolutely love them. If I just touch the nub, that's inserted in the phone, to the end of the cable, it hops on perfectly connected and charging. One of the best (and fewest) things I ever ordered from China. I hate waiting for non-domestic orders, so I try to avoid them as much as possible. Magnetic usb charging is now my favorite new unnecessary luxury in my gadget life.

Is the cable part reversible? It looks like it would be, but there is no info in the listing to indicate definitively if the mag part has to be in a specific orientation.

Yes it is. You can flip the magnet end either way (upside down/right side up) and it will grab and hold pretty firm. Notice it has an even numbered amount of pins (10 - two rows of 5) this is key to a "flip-able" attachment.
Hi,
Well, nearly 8 weeks later and my magnetic cables just arrived. From China to Dubai with Christmas and New Year in between so...
The good news is they are excellent. Very tight to get in the usb port (which is good), very small and fits with my phone cases. As said above, its reversible.
Bought from tim-hpx on ebay.
Hey guys, i have been searching on ebay and on google, for a replacement charging port, but i can seem to find the correct one. Some show the charging port only and others whats seems to be the daugtherboard that holds the charging port. Has any of you order from here before? http://www.bluphoneparts.com/blu-vivo-xl-sub-pcba-with-charging-port/, they have the pcb with the charging port on it, but no image. any help will be greatly appreciated thank you.
I purchased the exact part that you linked and this fixed the charging port issue on my Vivo XL. Will need a bit of soldering skill to remove the speaker from the old board and solder onto the replacement board -- the solder pads are small, but not difficult if you have some experience. Two ribbon connectors need to be pulled up (2x small connectors, not the large metal -- that is a cover) and the board itself is attached to the frame by some adhesive.
Now the phone works great again -- well worth the $27 (w/shipping) to fix this common charging port issue.

Hi did you get though with changing the port, my port needs changing but that part is no longer available, there is another site that is selling just the charge port. I have no idea how to change the port. I'm planning on asking someone with a soldering iron for help, is it difficult. Also with shipping to Trinidad the part is 22 us, there's a nexus 5x port on eBay for about 5 us , is there any chance that it will work.
Thanks

I think I saw "just" the charging port when I was searching... looks pretty difficult to just change the port..
I got the little board that includes the charging port for about $27 US...
I just changed it and it was not very difficult.
You have to unsolder the old speaker wires and swap it to the new board... pretty easy...
Just don't let your soldering iron get very hot... test with a piece of very thin soldering wire to where it just melts.
Unplug your soldering iron to regulate heat..
You don't need to add any solder to reinstall.. there is some little dabs of solder on the board that should be enough.
Was for me.
Here's a video link...

HI! Is there a way for me to get a sub pcba with charging port board? The website bluphoneparts has not been working for a long time. And I have searched on amazon and ebay with no luck.
Hello,
I'm looking for a good case with USB dirt plug. Does anyone know of such a case?
Regards,
Only one I know of:

Seems quite protected but my concern is what about the volume button? Considering that it is enclosed in a shell, what about the sound quality?
But have to say it definitely look solid for someone who rides motorcycle and have to go through the rain with the phone. I have encountered many unpleasant experience after rain. Phone will detect that there's a headphone connected and speaker volume sounds very cracking and raspy.
I'm also looking for a cover with proper protection for usb port. Nillkin transparent covet have this for some models (i.e. Redmi Note 4) but not for Mi 6... If someone find nice thin cover with plug for usb please let us know
LOVE MEI does a good one.
You can separately but usb type c dirt/dust plugs for cheap. But having it as a part of case is more convenient so I'll update my comment to add link to the case I'm using that has usb dirt plug.

Hi,
Search On AliExpress.
I Ordered This And Its Good.
https://www.aliexpress.com/store/pr...590.html?spm=2114.12010608.0.0.116e67cdHxS58z
thanks
You can also buy magnetic USB cable, there are many of them on AliExpress. I bought one for my dad because he always tries to connect the charger while driving and with this cable it's just 1 second task plus the port doesn't get dirty and won't get loose.
I ended up using the 3d printer at work to print myself some dust covers
Forcell Armor has the requested features
