Hey, so what was the verdict on all of this? I tested this loose microusb wire, or loose microusb port (not sure which is the problem) with 4 note II's. Of the 4, 2 of the devices had the problem right out of the box. I tested both devices with the microusb wire that came with it, and both of them were loose and eventually fell out. I tested the two devices with another samsung oem wire, and it was more snug (still not to my satisfaction though). After troubleshooting, I came to the conclusion that it must be the wire. However, here is what made me completely UNCERTAIN, and oh so ever CONFUSED: I have a samsung multimedia dock which connects the note ii to my TV by plugging in the note ii into the dock via microusb. After I tested all four devices, the same 2 devices that I had problems for with the loose microusb wire, would produce flickering on my tv display! This should be an indication of a faulty microusb port (the other devices did not produce flickering on my tv display, and these were the devices that I DIDNT have a problem for the loose usb wire). Now I am extremely confused as to what the exact problem is, the microusb port or the microusb wire. I am sorry that you had to go through having a weird device or wire, and would love to hear if you ever came to a resolution with this matter.
