    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.
