So I'm finally getting to mess with the HDMI mirroring and after a couple of minutes basking in the glory of my phone in full screen, the signal goes dead and so does the phone. Nothing works. I tried to reboot, nothing. I pulled the battery and when I did it smelled as if something burned. Did something get pushed to hard? Could it have been the cable?
I'm assuming since this is the first post I've seen about this that no one else has experienced this. Oh well... off to TMo.

That sounds exactly like what happened to my phone. Maybe it was the cable?? Don't know. But I will be returning the phone Monday.
Back to the vibrant for a couple of days. I heard Eugene is releasing a new update soon.

I don't want to scare anyone that purchased from monoprice as people in the thread say they've had good dealings with them. I must have just received a bad cable. But I will opt to deal with someone I know better.

It was the handset. The battery was around 70% when I plugged the cable in.
I'm not sure what they cost but doesn't $8 sound kind of cheap for an HDMI?
Also, this phone suffers a serious over heating problem.

Now I'm all paranoid about using the cable I bought from monoprice. Has anyone else bought one and made sure the monoprice cables are NOT an issue?
I have a monoprice cable.
I was using it in portrait mode, when everything was fine.
The instant I turn it over into landscape the connection dies, phone dies, phone gets really really hot, and the battery percentage drops from 80 to near 10-15%. The phone actually seems "bricked" right up until you plug it into the wall charger. Without plugging it in, it doesn't turn back on.
I thought me turning it sideways into landscape was doing this. Can everyone else turn it sideways when mirroring without the phone freaking out?
I didnt buy mine from monoprice but from ebay. The cable and the micro hdmi adapter worked fine in landscape and portrait mode. Hope that helps. Maybe you got a bad cable.

You have to push the hdmi cord really hard into the phone. It will connect, but it's a bad design requiring a lot of force...
I don't think you can possibly push any harder than I just tried. lol.
The cable I got from them fried my phone.
Not what you wanted to hear but, I would get another cable. I just got my new one today. I got it off of amazon. Only tried it briefly but worked like a charm.

That's right -- there is some cable out there frying phones. Search the forum for more threads on that issue. But yeah, the pushing-it-in-harder technique worked for me and a bunch of other people, and I know I thought it was completely connected at first...
anyway, be careful!
What exactly did it do to your phone when it "fried" it? Because I had a pretty weird encounter, I plugged it in, at first nothing happened, then it came on to the tv. My phone told me it was at 70% battery but then while it was on my tv, died, after about 3 minutes. I couldn't even turn my phone on, so I waited until it wasn't on fire and charged it and now the HDMI won't work. Seems the phone is working fine though. Similar to what happened to you? I sensed something quite wrong but was kind of just telling myself it wasn't a big deal.

Something similar. I plugged in the cable and I was checking everything out. The cable looked like our was starting to come out so I pushed it down (not hard). All of the sudden the tv screen went black and so did my phone.
I tried to reboot... Nothing. I pulled the battery and smelled something burning. Couldn't turn the phone on after that.

I have a ten footer in my vehicle that I use as a charger/data for my H/U. From time to time I will notice mp3's sound weird. If I switch to bluetooth they sound fine. SO yeah the longer the cable the more chance for goof ups. Rule of thumb the shortest distance in anything dealing with electric cables is better.
Just an opinion, but when I bricked mine I tried 3 stock cables at home to get into download mode and none recognized, but the blackberry "FireWire" (notice thickness vs the stock android one) was the only thing that worked.. and it is a tighter fit

I've broken my micro usb connector twice. Never had this issue with another phone. Anyone else have this problem? I guess I'm going to have to limit the number of connections after getting my phone fixed this time. I wish I could get a more robust port. Shouldn't this be a standard part across phones since pretty much every phone has the same port? Or am I wrong? Just curious if a company makes a more robust port that can be retrofitted to this phone?
Thanks everyone...

I connect my ac adapter several times per day. At least once in the morning, twice in the car, and once at work. Connecting and disconnecting the micro-usb cable seems to somehow break the connection so that the port stops charging. It doesn't seem to be a case of the port being loosened. The connection is still tight and fits properly. It must be something inside the port that is breaking. Eventually I have to jiggle the cable to get it to connect properly. Then eventually the connection is broken and cannot connect to charge the phone. At first I thought it might be because I was using Belkin cables or connecting the phone to the Samsung desktop dock station. However after the port broke once, I then only used Verizon cables and stopped using the dock station. It broke again. I've seen others reporting the same issue. I don't know how widespread the problem is with the phone. It's frustrating because I would probably keep the phone past two years were it not for this problem.
Mines broken too as of recently too. It will charge off and on all the time. Sometimes I wake up charged, sometimes dead. Rofl

The connection in mine is pretty hit or miss. I have to clean pocket lint out of it once in a while. That helps for a while. But even with that it doesn't seem to click into place like it used to. I put mine in the car dock every time I go somewhere and I'm always plugging it in to charge since I use my battery up too fast.
I have yet to break the port on my device, but I gave gone through several third party chargers which all broke.

Charge Not Charging!!
Wow I had no intentions what-so-ever to post about this micro usb connector issue that I have also been having until I came across the thread title. I would have just kept thinking it was my own fault for man-handling it or something. I have gone through several micro usb charging adapters for my non-charging droid charge. What a giant annoyance. I find if you press the cord into the port to charge and hold it at the right angle...for several hours straight...it will maybe work. Sometimes. In all seriousness though I found that the extremely short samsung adapter cord that the phone came with does the best job. Tried cleaning out the inside of the port too with small toothpick and it didnt even seem to have any gunk build up in there. I brought it to Best Buy and they said if I wanted to try soldering the tiny connector inside the port more securely to the motherboard in the phone...it might help...
I would happily keep my droid charge for a while longer if I could resolve this issue...even though the thought of upgrading to the Note 2 is pretty enticing...but id rather hold off on dropping 3 bills at the moment.
Does anyone know if Samsung will do anything about this issue if I were to call in about it or send it in to be checked out? Verizon stores apparently dont do any physical repairs.
seems to be a big problem with this phone. my cousin had 2 go bad and i had one so far.
I also had one go bad actually
As long as I keep the pocket lint out of it it's not too bad. But even at that I have to be real careful when it's plugged into my computer. It's liable to lose the connection at the slightest wiggle.

I noticed today that my charging port seems to be loose. I've never dropped the phone or had any other issues with it. But I noticed that my phone was on the charger and not charging. I then moved the connection slightly and it started charging again. If it gets moved at all it doesn't charge. So two questions:
1. Does anyone know if AT&T warranty will cover something like this? I called and got a really generic answer so I might just have to go into the store... blah
2. If it isn't covered in the warranty, does anyone have any idea where to buy a new port and/or how to fix it??

That sounds like user damage/wear and tear which is not covered AFAIK, unless you got the add-on insurance.
I've only had the phone for about 20.days and I'm always really careful with my phones. I'm going.to take it in the store to see if I can get a warranty replacement... I'm probably not even going to unroot or anything lol. wish me luck.

Hoping it's normal and not just mine, because I plug/unplug mine more than the average person.
Directly comparing to my year old Nexus 4 -- there's a lot more side-to-side play in the USB port. It doesn't feel as solidly plugged in...
Anyone with both devices notice the same? Nexus 4, the plug doesn't wiggle at all, but in the Nexus 5 it wiggles in any directly.
Not a major issue.
USB Port difficult to plug
I am having the opposite problem. I have noticed it takes a fair amount of pressure to plug the usb into the nexus 5 port
and likewise with unplugging. I am concern the extra force will affect the port or usb cord over time. I left a message with Google helpdesk so will see if this is just my phone or a defect in port or plug.

I found its to tight when you plug the micro port to your phone straight, but if you put the left side (or right side) first then slide the opposite side, it plugs in much much more easily.

Mine was extremely tight. Then one charge later became loose side to side and up and down.
Is it the connector inside? I wonder if it moved out of position and I can move it back.

My USB port is also "loose" that it actually stops charging if I move it. Super annoying because it's a replacement phone I got last week. My old one didn't do this. Tried multiple USB cables.

I would but I just got this one as a replacement. but I found my wife s4 white cable stays snugged with little play. I'll use that one now.. lol. But if its gets worse, I still got warranty time.
Try a different usb cable. It's not the usb "port" that gets loose overtime, it's actually the male end of the usb cable that gets loose. If you look at the connector at the end of the cable, you'll see 2 hooks on the top of it, overtime they become looser, that is your problem.
When I first got the n5 and tried it with the oem cable they included, it was a very tight fit. However, when I went to try another cable it felt much easier to plug in.

i'd try with other cables, tried with my brother's htc usb cable yesterday, it charged normally, but this problem arises randomly, so might have to test for few more days.. :highfive:
Clean out the usb port, blow some compressed air in there or carefully use a toothpick. Even a small amount of dust or debris can cause the cable to feel loose. Then once it's fixed, throw away all wall chargers and use a wireless pad
