Thank you!

I had a charging problem with a Sony Xperia Z5 Compact (Z5C) with only certain cables working for charge etc. The advice elsewhere was to replace the USB port and loads of people are using that procedure - which is quite invasive on a waterproof phone.

The engineering perspective is that Micro USB is sensitive to failure from a number of points. Usually the first observation for the user after the non-charging problem is that the connection feels loose......

TRUE = The plugs on the end of charging leads can wear with time / metal goes soft / tangs get weak.

TRUE = The sockets on devices can weaken and spread, perhaps through material flaws or rough user handling.

Both the above cause a poor docking of plug to socket and cause the loose feel. But of course - it's also true that any foreign objects will make the above worse. So - I was very pleased to find this thread.

TRUE = If the socket is jammed with pocket lint - it gets

so compacted

that it feels completely solid. It's hard to tell that the cable is not all the way in.

This is what I found so useful and surprising with this thread. In my case I had to keep scraping and scraping to get rid of two years of built-up crud, and all the time it still felt solid like I was truly at the bottom of the connector. But the clue was - if you can't see shiny metal at the bottom - keep cleaning.

I would add though that to clean the very narrowest part of the socket, between the metal contacts and the socket wall - Use a piece of plastic cut from a blister pack. It's thin enough to get in there without breaking.

Now even my weak and battered charging cables work with this phone. :)

it's unbelievable how much dirt can go inside a micro usb port!

and as far as I saw, different phone models have different propensity to get dirty.

just an example: same owner, same habits...nexus4 after 4 years have a very clean microusb port...nexus6 after just 2 years seems like have attracted everything around it...spent 30 minutes to clean...
[Hardware Hacking General] Caserol23:
On mine, it's too much furs on the inside on my Galaxy Pocket, and clean, i spend few minutes to clean... And it improves the charging process... :D:D:D

I have something similar happening also. The micro USB cable is loose, a newer cable worked out better. Now days, instead of messing with a bad cable, you can get a cable for a couple of bucks.-- saves frustration.

Worked for me, thanks a lot
[Hardware Hacking General] dmmcd:
Worked for me, Thanks!

My 2+ year old Galaxy S7 was having problems staying connected to my charger, thought the metal was worn out. Also the 3.5mm headphone port wasn't working, the headphone plug wouldn't stay in well. I was thinking of replacing both components, as I'm going to do a battery replacement. Glad I found this thread! I used a sewing needle and the junk just kept coming out! The lint from the USB is on the left, the 3.5mm port is on the right. Both work great now!

[Hardware Hacking General] pol098:
Another useful USB receptacle cleaning tool

I suggested a plastic "plectrum" cut from bubble packaging as an alternative to a wooden toothpick as an insulating pick to clean compacted fluff and lint from USB receptacles and other connectors.. If you're not worried about short-circuits, a metal tool that could be made for the purpose is a 31-gauge needle for medical injections fixed to a pen-like syringe. The working end is essentially a strong, rigid steel cylinder of diameter 0.26mm - the thickness of 4 sheets of 80gsm paper and not tapered - and length usually 8mm, with an extremely sharp chisel point. (It's hollow, but that's irrelevant here.) Many diabetics use these syringes/pens, which are disposable; it should be fairly easy to scrounge a used one, which would normally be thrown away. Dip the needle in bleach (though there's no danger unless used by someone with a blood infection). People have reported successfully using sewing needles, without handle, though they had small pricks (not enough to draw blood); the syringe is easier to handle (though very sharp), and does a good job. I would think (but do not actually know) that this should not damage a phone with charged battery but switched off - it didn't harm mine. HTH

[Galaxy S III Accessories] dynamisoz:
I was looking for two things when searching for a case for my Galaxy S3.

1. Protection

2. Thin profile

3. Functionality

This Case has it all. I've seen and tried many cases,, but it either has looks but no protection or protection with a lot of bulkiness.

Incipio Silicrylic hard case looks very nice, keeping a minimal thickness while maintaining its ability to protect the case. The silicon part

of the case fits snugly on the phone with all the button layouts perfectly placed. The hard shell has a nice soft feel to it and it secures the silicon

cover tightly. All the plugs are easily accessible, and no problem using the speakerphone function. Comes with a Screen protector that works very well.

This case definitely beats Otterbox commuter series.

If you are looking for a sleek case that looks sexy and offer very good protection, This case is for you!! If its just protection and only protection

then you can find other case that offers more.

Got mine from Amazon for $17.

This case will not disappoint.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] wakakakaka:
I am a great fans of Grooveshxxk (or Grxxveshark, since i'm not sure if i'm supposed to type other website address here), since it's never easy to carry all my music around

I found a way to trick the note 10.1 to keep running the flash content of the browser with other app on, so that i can stream the audio continuously while I read my pdf in ezpdf

as far as i know other android would not keep the browser flash content playing in the background, correct me if i'm wrong

first you have to open a browser

go to whatever streaming radio site u like

then try to make a multiscreen (but do not use any of the apps you planning to use full screen afterward)

then hit the home button

and then you will find out yr website are continuously streaming the audio content, and you can then open any app you like (but remember not to go back to the browser!)

I can reproduce this bug a couple of times, sometimes failing if your last touch on the multi-screen is the browser instead of its multi-screen counterpart.

just some nice tip to share!

What flash package did you use. I tried a few different ones and none of them worked for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] apocalyptic0n3:
Hey guys. Got quite the problem here. My Sprint Galaxy Nexus is in an infinite boot. It just stays on the boot animation. I've left it there, at various times, for as long as 90 minutes. It first started after trying to flash the Jellin' 4.1 ROM and continued when I tried three other ROMs (using ADB push to put the ROMs onto my device). I then decided to use Odin, which may have made things worse, as now I do not have any ClockworkMod Recovery. Or any recovery at all, actually.

The only way I can get any data on the phone, at least as far as I can tell, is through Download mode. The leaked Sprint recovery tools also fail as soon as they try to start pushing data to the phone. I do not see my phone on the ADB devices list in either Download mode or the Boot menu. I have also tried to push CWM to my phone using Odin, but that seemed to need to boot into the OS to finish, so that also failed.

If anyone has any suggestions here, I would be incredibly appreciative. I have exhausted my knowledge of flashing and un-bricking devices here. Perhaps there is a different image I should be flashing using Odin? Only the FD02 image in this thread actually completes a load in Odin. The other sits at the "SYSTEM" phase.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] v3rk:
you should be able to get into fastboot by holding both volume buttons then holding power, but the fd02 .tar should install stock rom and recovery. perhaps try re-downloading? place the .tar in pda section and only have auto-reboot checked then begin the flash.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Petrovski80:
I'd try going completely back to stock using this guide: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1626895

If all is well, flash or boot a custom recovery, make a nandroid and then retry a custom ROM.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 3rdstring:
To the best of my knowledge their are no official Spring gNex images.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Petrovski80:
Oh yeah, you're right. That's the second time I forgot this.

How about the unofficial factory images WugFresh has packed?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] apocalyptic0n3:
I have done it a dozen times now. It just hits that colorful boot animation and doesn't go any further.

I have the images you refer to. Would I still follow the guide you provided with these img files?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
I'm confused here. Can you boot into fastboot mode (turn off, then hold vol up and vol down, and press power)? If so, then you should need to mess around with Odin. Just download a toroplus CWM (or TWRP) recovery and flash it to your device using fastboot: fastboot flash recovery name-of-recovery.img. Then go into recovery, wipe /data and /cache, flash a stock kernel, and it should boot for you.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] apocalyptic0n3:
I wasn't aware you could use fastboot like that. But I did. And I managed to get ClockworkMod reinstalled and used that to wipe all my data and cache, as you suggested, and flash a new ROM. Worked like a charm. Thanks for all the help. :)
