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.
In my experience it’s the charging part of the phone. If you put a GOOD new plug in, it should work alright for a while. My s8 did it so badly I had to buy a wireless charger, which the whole family wants all the time because they’ve got the same issue, and all have reasonably new phones (1-3 y/o). My s20fe is the only one that still charges with the cable. I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s built in, so you’ll buy a new one instead of paying however much it is to get it fixed.
