Charging ports wear out if used often, which is why I usually charge wirelessly and keep a lint cap on my port.

Yea, I bought one of the induction chargers cause this happened to me about a year ago. My phone still works so i see no reason to buy a new one and quite frankly i just don't want to. Gonna ride this bad boy out until it dies.

So, the first thing you need to do is to figure out if the problem is in your phone or in the charger. Try either charging your phone with another charger or using your charger to charge someone else's phone.

If the charger is the problem, it's most likely broken inside and you need to get a new one. Tape might do the trick for a short time.

If the phone is the problem, try cleaning out the charging port. I personally use bamboo cocktail sticks that I crush with pliers to make them have small rough bristles. Lots of objects work for this (pretty much anything thin, preferably brush-like), just as long as you don't put anything wet there.

I got some magnetic detachable usb cables and the end that detaches never gets unplugged from my phone. Although i mostly charge mine with a wireless pad on my nightstand.

Wireless chargers

Possibility 1 the port is full of crap, clean the port with a thin stiff piece of plastic.

Possibility 2 the port is broken, treat your equipment better.

Possibility 3 the cable is bad, replace the cable and treat your equipment better.

Look into magnetic charging adapters. I'm just putting them on my wife's devices out of the box now.

I only ever had this problem with micro USB. Thank god we abandoned that shitty connector

This and also battery wear is why I charge my phone exclusively with wireless charging with all the fast charging toggles turned off.

One time my headphone stopped working without weird angle thing.
Out of nowhere. Just stopped working.

It was perfect with good quality sound befire but no "only one ear" or "certain angle" or "bad quality sound" nope.

I didn't have my guard up and paid dearly for it.

Great time to try wireless charging if you have a device that supports it.

Mine started the same thing a few weeks ago. I tried cleaning out the charging port but after a while of scrapinc I gave up since nothing was coming out and I couldn’t see any more lint in there. The problem persists. I am confident that no one in the world has it as difficult as me right now.

Same, but with my laptop. 😔

Rip.

Good luck buying a new one with all of * gestures at everything * this going on.

I have the same with the headphone jack of my laptop...

I tried to clean it but that didn't help.
