  That’s got to be something you’re doing. Cause I’ve had exactly zero problems. In fact I don’t think I’ve actually met a person who’s ever had a problem with USB - C. But I have boxes (plural) of dead micro USB cables and, on top of that, I have so many devices that have been rendered useless by the fact that the micro USB port has been blown or damaged in some way it’s not even funny.

    I’m with you. Those spring-latch-things on the micro just give up on life and the whole thing becomes useless or tears apart the port you try to plug them into. I say leave them in the past

      Yeah, I love the counter argument of “oh, the USB - C gets dirt in it”. As though that hasn’t been an issue with every port ever conceived. 😒

        Was a lot less of an issue with lightning than with other connectors, but I realize that people hate the lightning for some reason.

    LG phones were notoriously bad…the v60 especially had a defective port.

  I don’t know what you’re doing because I’ve had 0 failures with it

    Type-C ports are a lot more sensitive to dirt in my experience. I can keep it working if I clean the port every couple weeks, but at this point I just pretend phones don’t have charging ports.

      They are, but it hasn’t been a problem for me. I clean the port on my phone maybe twice a year

      Sounds like you need to invest in some port covers.

  Me too, first two phones I had with USB C both developed issues with the port, one shorted in the port, the other for some reason could only be charged with one specific cable, oriented in only one direction. Never had any issues with the ports on any previous USB micro phones.

  The current one works alright though, and its capable of detecting water and dirt in the port, so probably won’t short itself. So I think the technology is improving.

    In my experience, that’s what tends to happen with a dirty port/cable. Cleaning it out solves the problem 99% of the time.

    My anecdotal experience is the complete opposite of you two lol. Tons of issues with micro-b and a few broken connectors. No issues thus far with C.

  Failures of ports or cables?
