Charging port has not held up well...

[ODog2323]

I've had this OP6 since launch and am disappointed to see that the charging port seems to be giving out. It still functions, but has become quite finicky; need to make sure the cable is plugged in just so, and have to be careful not to let it slip loose when setting the phone down to charge.

I had the 5 and 5T, but upgraded from them before this had a chance to become an issue. I skipped the 6T so this phone has several more months of use on it.

It's been a few years since I've had a flagship from one of the major manufacturers, so I don't know if failing ports is still just pat for the course? I'm not rough on my phones at all.

How's everyone else's experience been with this? I might still be using my Nexus 6 if the port didn't completely fail lol. At least it had wireless charging to fall back on!

We'll see how the 7P does!

Never ever had a problem with it, still a snug fit after 6 months.

I've got the OP6T and my charger port is working fine. That said, if you are out of warranty, you might try fixing it yourself. Doesn't look that difficult... I've seen much more complicated phones. Here's a link to a video that explains how to do it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VulpmDZBJV4

Hope that helps!

Are you absolutely sure it's not the cable?

I've got a 2, 3 and 5 and the USB-C ports on all of them are still fine.

My regular 1+6 no issues with charger port

I have both 6T versions and both charging ports have held up well.

Zero issues here. Have had the OP6 since right near release date.
