NEVER use epoxy glue!

Epoxy also is way more elastic than solder so the solderjoints probably will get no support from even huge amounts of epoxy applied to an intact receptacle. And finally the odds are that you'll need to redo the soldering eventually, and then the epoxy will be a huge mess and probably prevents any further repair work on the whole thing.

The pictures there http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php...991#post547991 definitely show a magnitudes smarter way to reinforce the USB receptacle, and you'd think no additional epoxy could improve the result of that :-D

After that I used a connector plugged in, surrounded with a piece of kapton tape. That worked, but almost broke my socket. Any better solutions?

Thanks! How does that work? Filling the socket with it?
