I need to vent a bit but I need to know how common this is.

On my Galaxy S3, S5, S8, and now S21 Ultra, I’ve had issues with my charging port and needing the cable in a very specific way on a table or it doesn’t charge.

Am I doing something wrong? Is it me? Does it just need cleaned or are the charging ports durability really that garbage?

I’ve dealt with it since about 15mths into owning it, had it 3yrs in April 2024, am getting so sick of this.

    Probably lint, clean out the port. Had this happen with my s8 and all it need was the lint out of the port.

      How easy is it to damage/break with a floss stick? Genuinely for real. I can pay about $12 USD for someone to clean it as am nervous but if its not a big deal I’ll attempt it myself.
