USB C connector loose?

[bceverly]

Hi,

Anything I plug into the USB-C connector on the phone is very easily dislodged.  I mean I barely touch the phone and it comes unplugged.  Any suggestions?  It feels like things don't plug in far enough to lock into place.  Perhaps there is a cable extender/adapter that would help?

Thanks!

Hi Bceverly,

I've also had problems with my USB-C connection. In my case the supplied cable only charges one way up... presumably this is also a symptom of a loose connection. It's workable for the time being but not ideal as if I plug it in in a hurry, or forget to check, I have a 50% chance of the phone not charging at all.

It seems to me that this component of the Pinephone could and should be physically improved.

Same here. Mobian CE. I've thought from the beginning that it's another hardware design flaw.

I use one of these to save wear and tear on my USB-C connector  https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32849697882.html
