Loose USB charging port HELP

TheMrRoxtar · Nov 13, 2013

Ive scoured the internet trying to find a solution. My USB cord fits really snug in the port but wiggles side to side as if it were really loose. What can I do to fix this annoying wiggle.

Also the phone charges fine its just wiggly.

I believe that just might be the make of the Nexus 5, as my phone does the same thing.

I agree - the usb charging port is very wiggly! Try another cable.

I'm using the charging cable that came with the phone and there is lots of play in the connector - both vertical and horizontal. I will often have my phone plugged in while working with tasker and it seems the usb cable easily works itself loose as the phone is moved around.

It's rather disconcerting. I'm going to try another usb cable to see if it's any better to try to see if the problem is the port or the cable. What is it like on YOUR phone?

OK - I tried another cable and it is MUCH better! The usb cable that comes with the charger is a very loose fit. Try some other usb cables and report your findings. I'm using the one that came with my kindle and it's a much snugger fit.
