Haven't broken mine but it seems pretty difficult to plug the charger in.

Ohgawd it's hard to plug in all the time.
I have noticed charger will go in smoothly if tilted so the head points downward while going into the port. In short, attack the port from the top, not straight on.
I made a post about how the usb. Port is awkward to plug in....
Thank god for qi charging. Saves the port

I figured this out from the first time I plugged it in but I thought my port was just defective. I can't believe this is a build flaw. Thanks for letting me know my phone isn't defective. It would have bothered me every time I plug it in.

Dont know what your talking about, but order an anker charger and batteries, cost me 27 bucks for 2 with charger, delivered. Youll never have to plug your phone in again.

On the USB cord their are these little anchor like hooks that keep the cord in place when you plug it in.
Try using a different cable and see if it makes any difference.
I actually had the exact same problem with my Desire. I fixed it by either plugging the cord in and the setting something under it to prop the cord up or replace the cord. Replacing it definitely helped.

I am curious how long you had your phone before your cable zonked out.

week or two
Just picked it up today, they said its a week old. I notice if i move the phone around while its plugged in, it will light up randomly and stop charging. The cable doesn't really click in either like most other phones. Is the charger messed up or the actual charger port?

Please post all questions in the q&a section.
What kind of charger are you using? If it's not the OEM charger that actually fits fully into the port and you're just using a regular usb cable, that will happen because it doesn't fit in securely the way the oem charger does.

OEM charger, black says HTC on it. When the charger is moved upwards it loses connection. The charger port feels firm when using a toothpick to move it around. It isn't actually loose.
Charger says htc, but is the cable the correct one and second question is, is the charger the correct on for THIS device?

I'll take a picture of it and upload it, I believe it is the correct one but I could be wrong.
Cable looks bent at the phones end, probably damaged.

If the charger moves at the connector end then you will be able to look closely and see if the pivot point is in the joint between the black plastic and the metal "insert"... It's the charger
Or if the pivot rotation point is inside the phone...
Then it's the phone
The metal insert on my charger is super solid.. No wiggle where it meets the black plastic at all

Before curiosity kills the cat, does anybody know if you can damage your phone by using a wireless charging mat, i.e. nokia dt-900, and the wall charger adapter at the same time? I want to see if it works, but then again, I really dont feel like dishing out another $600 for a new phone. Figure I would ask here first. The internet provided no such answers. Next stop will be Nokia CS.
I have a feeling it won't work. Itll only pull power from one source.

i tried it too. wanted to do shotgun charging. lol wireless charging is disabled while it is charging by the usb port.
but just for discussion purposes, i dont know enough about dry cell batteries to know if it would damage it or not. you would be doubling the voltage to it. (5V+5V=10V) i dont know if a power source put to a dry cell battery that is double of it intended purpose would damage it. i would think not. i think it woudl charge it to 10V, but in turn would damage the phone circuitry itself. Thats what my associates degree in electronics tells me. :good:
As far as having it plugged in and setting on mat, it won't charge, so does that mean it won't have any issues with getting overly hot or having problems with charger/phone recognizing mat but not able to engage?
I've been looking for a charger that attaches to the side dock on the Z2. I bought one on EBay very cheap but the charging from seems to connect then disconnect all the time. I guess that's what I get for buying a cheap unit. Is there a good one that will charge the Z2 properly? I'm sure the flap to the micro usb is going to come off sooner or later so I'd rather use the magnetic one.
I too am looking for this. What eBay one did you buy? Don't want to accidentally buy a cheap one..

It was one that said "black magnetic adapter charger" from the UK it was only £2.95.
I'm happy with 'kwmobile' charger bought on amazon.de, especially I like the fact that magnet is not too strong therefore I don't have a fear that magnetic port will fall out. I hope so ... :fingers-crossed:

I bought a dirt cheap one from ebay too, works fine although the magnets aren't very strong so the amount of time I spend fiddling to get it to latch on I may as well use a micro usb!

Best I've come across, a bit more expensive though.
It fits very snugly over the charging port, so if you use case this cable might not go well with it.
I just recently bought a z2, came with a knock off dock.
Doesn't anyone have a good free alarm clock app thatll stay dimly lit all night and work as a bedside clock.

I've heard that, I got a free app called timely and it works great, with smart connect it automatically goes into silent + opens timely when I dock.
Word of warning with magnetic chargers, don't be stupid like me and turn the charger the other way around to see if it connects better, you will end up shorting something inside your phone and you will have to RMA your device

I have a magnetic charging cable and did this drunkly one night, woke up to find the phone turned off and SUPER HOT. Like almost burning point, freaking out I quickly removed the cable and tried turning it on but it wouldn't power up.
After 2 minutes of having a mild heart-attack I used my USB charging cable and connected it once it cooled down and within a minute it powered back up and started charging. After a few minutes of doing this I booted up the phone and the battery was on 1%
Won't be doing that again haha :silly:

The same happened to me but after when i attempted to charge via the USB from PC or magnetic charging points the phone kept going into an odd loop of trying to charge itself and failing, i had to restore my TA and relock my phone and RMA it, will get a new one in a few days and i won't ever be doing that stupidness again

You CAN put it the wrong way?
One side is clearly bigger and iirc the charger doesnt fit the wrong size!

Dock clock is my second favorite bedside clock and the one that I use(my favorite is Motorola's but it only works on their stock ROMS-they probably dropped it from their newer phones/firmwares as they did with everything else they did better then everyone else).

Mine does that when putting it the correct way without every putting it the wrong way. It also does the start/stop charging like the OP, hopefully he doesn't have the same problem as me.

upon close inspection, the charging pins on the magnetic charging port are different in size to prevent plugging it backwards.
for those of you who were able to plug it in backwards, is the magnetic charger a sony accessory? or aftermarket?
I bought the magnector x and holy moly does it charge fast...and the connection is solid and it snaps in place with ease...magnet very strong...only problem is it doesn't work with my roxfit gel shell case even though it has the cutout for the magnetic port...so either I stick with using my cheap Chinese made magnetic charger that doesn't always make a solid connection and charges rather slow but works with my case or buy the case-mate barely there case which is the only other case I can see that would work with the magnector x...

Since I bought my V10 I've noticed when I plug ANY charger into it, the cable is pretty loose in the port and moves quite a bit. Doesn't seem to effect anything but it's definitely not what I'm use to. Is this the same as everyone else or should the cable be snug in the port with very little or no movement?
Anyone?

Mine is definitely a little loose when I use 3rd part chargers, not so much with the stock charger. Like yours, mine doesn't effect the charging etc.

Its odd though. It will wiggle back and forth but it wont unplug as easily as I'd think. Right now it's nothing I'm concerned with, if It starts losing connection I'll send it back for another I guess.
Mine wiggles back and forth also. I noticed it right away too.

My h-900 att also wiggled but doesn't fall out.
I've noticed that many times when I first plug it in to charge it won't go into fast charging. Unplug and try again and it works.
This is with both stock and third party quickcharge 2.0 capable cord and hub (anker and aukey, I believe).

Sent from my LG-H901 using Xparent Skyblue Tapatalk 2
I've yet to notice much of it, I do use the Galaxy S4 stock charger cable, which doesn't do much wiggling, but if you do notice the stock V10 cable is a bit thicker on the port part. Not sure if it makes a difference (IE: placebo effect) that it fits more snug, but it could be something.
I was just going to post about quick charging. Btw. My port and charging cable are not loose. Stiff as a brick.
Fat charging does not seem to come on until 20% or so. I was charging at 9 % and it said I had almost 2 hours to go. I was immediately trying to find quick charge option, to see if it was on, but the phone didn't have one.
Then I watched a Seinfeld episode for 22 minutes.
Phone is at 65% and says 25 minutes until full charge. So I don't think it charges at lower percentages. Also my Samsung charger did not quick charge this, but I tired that too at 9%
It's a variable rate, as you get higher in battery percentage it lowers the volts or amps or whatever it is they use.

Yup loose but stays in. That threw me off also hopefully not an issue for us down the road
Yea. Seems like a snug fit but is definitely wobbly. Coming from the S6/Note5 I'm not use to it.
I'm using the AT&T version and so far, all the cables fit snug and do not wiggle. Anyone know of a software that works with the V10 to tell how fast (in mA) it is charging? I used to use "Galaxy Charging Current" with my Note2. Does not work on this phone.
I don't have any issues with charging cables being loose regardless of whether or not the stock charger is being used. However, yesterday my phone (I've only owned it about 2 weeks) died completely and every time I tried to start charging it my V10 would automatically turn on and say to charge it to at least 5% before powering on then it would die. I left it on my bedside table last night unplugged (about 10 hours) and tried again to charge it again this morning. It seems fine right now but time will tell.
Anybody else having this issue or similar ones?

No issue like that over here. I would take that phone back if you purchased from a store.
My wife's does this and will even plug will slip right out. This is with factory wire. My phone holds that same wire in place. But I have an issue with one of my anker wires falling out. Very strange
