Plug in your phone, touch the screen, and see how jittery it is. Unplug it and see that the issue goes away. Use a browser to test it, and let me know what happens.
Crappy chargers do that. Stock samsung or aftermarket?

Everything is stock.
Just tried it and I dont see any jittery touches on mine. On stock charger and cable. But I do know what youre talking about because it happend to my skyrocket when using a cheap aftermarket charger and on the lockscreen, i couldn't unlock my phone...the touches was jittery. But so far my note doesn't do that.

I'm using my Sony Ericsson Xperia X10's charger and cable, I don't have that problem.

+1 I had the same result on my Sprint HTC EVO 4G. I also expeienced this on my Note when I used a cheap imitation Apple iPhone charger.
Hum, are you in a humid area/zone? Are your fingers excessively oily or moist? Do you have a screen protector installed, is it mirrored or have metallic materials?
notice this issue in just about all phones.

I feel the charing cable pin is a little loose. I mean its wobbles a little bit. I mean when you plug the charger into the phone the pin connection is a little loose for my liking. I don't loose charge or anything but it does come out pretty easily. My s3 charging pins were more stable. Is it just me or anyone else noticed this too ?

Mine is the same way. My s3 was solid. It seems if you look at the charger from the back it doesn't go in to the phone as far as it did with the S3. I can only assume that this has something to do with it.

My phone, and my fiancé's phone are exactly the same. We took them into verizon today to be checked. Two different people said this is common and that there was nothing they could do. I asked if we could check another cable or if they could check another note 2 and they said it'll be the same.
when the micro usb is plugged in, it will randomly fall out or will fall out if you pick up the phone. Seems pretty bad to me, but not a big enough problem for verizon to do anything.
Hey there xda'ers!
I just picked up a Titan 4G for $30 :laugh: I always wanted one, I'm using an S3 right now and I plan on switching back and forth at my leisure.
The problem with the Titan is the charger port is VERY finicky. You have to really push the micro USB in and get it in just right for it to charge.
I found replacement ones on eBay for around $7ish. Has anyone replaced one before? Do you guys have any tips?
Thanks to all in advance!
Anyone?

have you checked there's no fluff in the original one? mine sometimes looks like it's charging, (ie light comes on red), but never gets charged. this usually means there's fluff inside the usb port and a good hard blow, (pardon the expression), sorts it out...

Sadly, the previous owner must have forced a mini usb into the jack or something, since all the pins are bent in. Or, it may have been dropped on the charger port while plugged in. All in all, the phone is in great shape for what I paid for it, as I always had a fascination with WP7.
I got a quote for $60-$70 to have the new USB port installed since it has to be soldered.
Even still, I plan on keeping it and ordering a back up battery charger from eBay since the phone is easily a 8/10 condition wise and I have already unlocked it :good:
so i never worried about getting liquids or excessive amounts of dust clogged in my microusb ports before but now with the note 3 and the 3.0, larger sized port, i am a bit more concerned that potentially stuff could get inside it...i know they make dust plugs made from silicon but from what i have gathered, i cannot seem to find one made for a micro usb 3.0 yet...has anyone seen one before?
would using a plugo still be fairly unnecessary or am i right with my mild concerns?
I would like a USB plug cause the way I hold the phone the USB port hurts my pinky... Ouch. Lol

Yea, its a bit annoying. My only complaint.
Yes it hurts my pinky too... glad I'm not the only one. My GF said I was going crazy.
I charge my phone wirelessly so I rarely ever need the USB port anyway
If the usb port was on top of the phone, I would want a usb plug cover.
Since it's on the bottom, gravity work in our favor.
As far as the port hurting your finger.. My advice.. Man up solder! j/k.
I hold my phone with my pinky under the phone too, but my pinky is just to the side of the usb port so there is no issue for me. I just checked and with the lip on my cheap Caseology case, it would be harder to put your pinky directly against the port.

Oh well, i guess i am going too much into details these days. Cant help it.. the Note 3 is such a perfect phone, you cannot resist looking into the finer side.
By the way, 7 dollars which includes shipping for these are kind of expensive.. similar plugs for Note 2 are hardly going for 2 bucks inclusive of shipping. Will they fit?
3.5 mm will fit but not USB since note 3 has bigger USB port. Just wait for the price to come down. What they are charging is just steep. I don't need to use them myself since I really don't care about dust or have any problems with all of my phones but good to protect I guess. Usually I just use compressed air can to blow out the dust.

From the pictures, the dock doesn't have SONY written on the top of it so I'm guessing fake. Seems to be a fair few of them on Amazon but if they do the job for half the price then I don't see a problem.

Its not original Sony and it doesnt say the same as well. Secondly in original variant cable is not detachable which is bad and in this its detachable.
Pretty Reasonable.

I wonder if that data port also carries power. I could use that to charge my SW while the phone is on the dock at night without the need of a second/dual charger
Sent from my D6503 using Xparent Red Tapatalk 2
they're fake but work, the ones I bought are even spring loaded so it never stresses the magnetic port too much. Also came with 2 size tray adapters, although the larger size is still too slim for any cases.
Definitely does not carry data, only power.
Hasn't harmed my Z2 yet. I used Gravity Box to enable landscape mode on my lock screen, perfect for the bedside.
The second one linked has a short USB data cable(this is what I'm wondering if it also has power since magnetic connector is used to charge phone) & specific states to be used for data connection.

Right guys I'm so ticked off right now. I bought two adapters. One a couple months ago. I lost it. Another one (the deff one from clove) a few weeks ago. I also lost that. Because they were both £10+ each its pissed me off a bit more.
My question is has anyone bought one which is good and has a strong magnet? I was considering these Sony cables that are on eBay, obviously fakes for the price they are but I'm not sure. What's your guys opinions?

Hi, I recevied a magnetic cable bought on ebay (10 euro). I tried it yesterday for the first time and after 6hours of charger the battery level was 52%. The magnetic connection is no strong and I think that cable doesn't work properly.
I will try to buy the adaptor suggest by @tonysunshine
i brought this one over 6 months ago works perfect only goes on one way says + / - on the plug if put on wrong way phone will turn itself off so not sure how MotoXoom fried his ?
+ goes at the top

i haven't used one myself yet. but a friend bought magnector x cable. and it seems to work pretty fine. magnet is strong charges quick. but not as fast as official dock or usb. but it seems pretty nice as most of the cases are not dock compatible.
http://www.amazon.com/Magnector-Per...qid=1411902689&sr=8-1&keywords=magnector+x+z2
I agree the magnector x is pretty good and the magnet is not all that bad, one thing to mention is that the magnector x is not compatible with all cases as the sides may disconnect the magnet.
My first one was the magnector-x but I found with that when I picked up the phone it would just fall off. Same with the deff. The problem I had with that is the fact that the charger wire seemed to be in opposite direction to the connector and therefore ended up not sitting correctly

MotoXoom bought a charger cable that does not have the cut off feature or detects that the charge has been connected the wrong way. So he basically shorted out hsi phone because it did not cut out. This was NOT a magnector-x adapter
The cable i brought doesn’t have a cut off feature? The phone has it, if you put a positive on a positive the phone shuts off.
As far as I know there is no protection whatsoever except for the mechanical small asymmetry (look at the phone connector and compare the "lower" with "upper" plastic tabs).
Certainly there is no electronic protection in the phone. Some phones survived "reverse connection", some not.
I don't think it can be any electronic protection in the cable or charger; they are designed to give out 0.5-1-2A and certainly that are most likely enough to fry the phone. MAYBE some wimpy chargers aren't capable of that but it's better to assume all are dangerous.
Has anyone ever tried one of these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/161404030047?_trksid=p2060778.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT or http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Magnetic-...lePhonesCasesPouches&var=&hash=item4d2641788c

Yeah, i have one of those at home... black and shiny blue when plugged.

Can you tell us the "week" of the device? You can go under the right flap, there's some plastic tray (similar to the sim tray on the left) there should be the IMEI and some other info, including something like 14W15 (meaning for example 2014 week 15). I've heard the ones after 18 shouldn't have the "unglued magnetic port" problem.
But yes, I really had to get the device for the 2 feature missing on most other phone (waterproof with external no-flap-removal charging and lanyard attachment point) but the S5 would've been better in every other way. Including the fact that 5>2 and it seems it counts. Probably Z5 would be perfect, if we ever get to that.
I have a pain in the bum case on atm and it will some work removing it. I just had another look at the magnetic port and yes it can be completely removed by just the magnet. From looking at the port there appears to be two pins and what appears to be some glue in the middle.
Could I not just super glue the port back into the phone?
If I look closely enough I can see that pressing down on the magnetic port opens up a smallish gap which I would assume would let water in.
My magnetic port moves too if a push it (even a little). And it was supposed to be from the new fixed batches.
WTF Sony? Metal and glass phone, parts held together by spit.
