This charging cable wasn't cheap.so I'm not sure if it actually is cheap, defective, or I somehow squashed the prongs in -probably just cheap and I got ripped off, because I've never seen this before with any of my charging cables. The charger works great and stays in the phone now.
With some patience and perseverance I bent them up enough to grab them with fine needle nose pliers and then bent/pulled them out to where they should be sitting. I took a look at the charging cable and (on the flat side of the Micro USB spade) there are two tabs that stick up to provide retention in the charging port -mine were squashed down to be almost flush with the flat portion of the charging spade. However this time the charging port on the phone was totally clean inside. Indeed, normally it is lint build-up preventing the spade from fully inserting into the phone's charging port. My 30-day old charging cable started falling out of my phone's charging port last night. I am referring to a Micro USB charger (not type C or other type). It was most recently updated October 26, 2016.Possible ALTERNATE CAUSE: Bent prongs on the charging "spade" (the portion that inserts into your phone).

Pretty soon, you'll be stocking up on these Type-C USB cables. Since PCs use Type-C as well, "We should see price points come down fast enough to make it viable throughout the portfolio," said Carolina Milanesi, chief of research and head of US business at Kantar Worldpanel. Flagships generally took the lead, although you won't find USB-C in the Samsung Galaxy S7 or S7 Edge (it debuted in the now-defunct, fire-prone Galaxy Note 7).Īs the parts become cheaper over time, look for the midrange and entry-level handsets to start getting Type-C, too. It's already joined devices since 2015, and will feature on almost every phone, major or minor (iPhones excluded). Compatible with a wide variety of devices, connect your USB cable (not included) to the charger and power up your phone, tablet and more. It'll take some time to get there, but USB-C is the future. With the Best Buy essentials BE-MWC5W22W 5 W USB Wall Charger, never get caught with a dead phone again. Many of these extras won't come with your phone in the box. You may need: USB-C-to-USB-C, USB-C-to-USB-B and USB-C-to-USB-A. That's a pain to mentally sort out, and a real hassle if you need to then buy a bunch of adaptor cables to make sure your new phone still plugs into your old laptop. It also means you're launching into an awkward period where your gadgets might use different cables. Switching to USB-C means you'll have to remember to pack your new cable with you when you leave the house, or stock up on more.

When you plug your cable into the phone and then into your laptop or another device, you'll pull down a software menu that lets you choose the kind of connection you're making: for example, charging, or if you want to use the cord to power another device.

Google's two new headliner phones, the Pixel and Pixel XL use Android Nougat to showcase USB-C. Android 7.0 Nougat supports USB-C 3.1 (and so did 6.0 Marshmallow), but even then, device makers have to opt in for their hardware to start using it.
The software has to be coded to work with all those extra features other than plain-old charging.
