charing cable is little loose ? - Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II

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 feels normal. Then again my nexus was really lose v

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.

USB connection had a little wiggle to it??

Hi i just bought this phone its great, and I love it!
I had bought an aftermarket case for it right after buying the phone. I used my phone when It was time to charge it, I put it to charge using the pc data cable.
Little did I know the case did not allow sufficient room for the usb cable, so the entire time it was charging, the case was kind of pushing down on the cable from the top.
I was worried and noticed a little wiggle on the usb connection, but it does stay on perfect, just a lil wiggle.
Im just wondering if this is normal, im not sure if the case put stress on the connection in the usb during the time it was connected.
Yeah im crazy about stupid stuff.
Just wondering if anyone elses usb is a little wiggley.
Basically im trying to figure out if its supposed to be like that or did my case put stress on the usb connection.
Thanks to all
Its normal mine is the same.

Does your data cable wiggle/move while plugged in?

Is this normal? Im a little worried that it will get looser over time.
The wall charger has significantly less wiggle..I would just like to know if your data cable wiggles too??
Im trying to figure out if this is normal
Thanks!
Mine doesn't wiggle in the slightest. It's as stiff as a priest in a boys' school.
Are u using the stock data cable?
Im jealous now

My stock data cable has a little bit of wiggle up and down. Its good from side to side though, it kind of bothers me...guess theirs nothing i can do about it

I have the same stiffness whether I use the one that came with the phone or any of the others I have lying round. I guess it only takes a fraction of a mm for you to get a wobble. I guess just be careful to always pull it out correctly, just to be sure.
Im interested if anyone else has a lil wiggle in their cable. Feel free to share you guys! Aside from the wiggle, i love the phone

mine wiggles too...
Mine wiggles too. I imagine it's more dependent on the cable than the phone.
I was actually worried about the same thing a few weeks ago as mine wiggles. But I tried different cables on different devices I have includuding a blackberry and they all have a little wiggle to them. I never lose data connection when connected to PC when flashing or charge connection...not sure if you do. If not, I wouldn't worry as I think they do tend to have some wiggle after a while.

Tips on charging port replacement.

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:

[Q] Charging issue.. phone or cable?

So, quick question for folks.
The other day I noticed that despite my phone listing itself as charging, the battery was still dropping. Other times I could get it to charge ok. Today I noticed that wiggling the cable triggered the charging sound, but no change in the status.
After that, it got really worrying. The phone no longer would indicate a charge on that cable. I borrowed a friends s3 cable (I should mention that this is a generic cable, not the s4 cable I am using), and thst went straight to charging. After that, the generic cable worked.
I am going to try to test more today and tomorrow with the official cable.. but has anyone else had an issue like this? My worry is that it is the phone. . If it is, I want to exchange it now before there is the chance of getting a replacement with the locked bootloader. .
Sounds like it's the charger to me.

I agree. My S4 charger works fine. Others struggle and have that same issue.

Yea, I also get some problems when not using the stock S4 cable. Seems otherones fit but have a little play to where if I bump then even the slightest it reconnects.

USB Port Loose/Clogged?

Hey guys, quick question or two:
Is it normal for the USB plug not to be plugged completely in? As in, I can see some metal still exposed when I plug in the USB cable. If I put the slightest pressure on the plug downwards (while phone is face-up), charging ceases.
Any effective (and safe) way of cleaning up the USB port? I wonder if cleaning it last time with a toothbrush might've bent the lip inside the port a bit, so that the connection is a bit more fussy...
Thanks! Rock on DNA fans. :good:
The usb cord isn't suppose to hang out. It should have a tight fit.
Thanks for the reply.
I wonder if missing the USB cover is making looks deceiving. There's about a 2mm gap seen between the body of my phone and the USB plug on the underside. Also, it's actually when I lift the plug a bit with the phone facing up that it stops charging. Though that detail doesn't matter I'm sure, poor contact is poor contact.

Nothing I'd worry about unless your phone stop charging all together.

True. So long as it'll charge for the remaining 4 months of my contact!
