Lately I've been having problems charging via USB. Most cables don't seem to work. The wall charger which I have used in the past acts like it is charging, but it doesn't charge. The only thing that really works is a mini-to-micro adapter, but even then I struggle to get a data connection.
I disassembled the phone to see if I have the loose USB port problem, and it seems to be solidly attached. One thing I did notice, tho, is that it looks like the inside connector might be slightly chipped, since I see a couple of exposed traces.
Unfortunately, my phone is out of warranty. I did buy an extended warranty from Squaretrade, so I might call them to see what they can do. In the meantime, I'll listen to ideas as to what to do about this.
