So a long issue with my Nexus S after pulling out the USB cord.
The phone has been water damaged in the past and luckily only the microUSB port was damaged and replaced. But the solder was probably not strong enough.
Pulled out the USB cable once a bit stronger than I should have and whops, no charge.
Got it to the lab to solder again, they succeeded to restore USB connection + Charging.
After a week I got the same problem again. No data, no charge.
I'm quite worried the pads were ripped inside. Is there any way to recover the data in that case? Any clue if I could make a "detour" inside the board and pick up USB data from somewhere else?
Thanks.

Whenever I try to charge my phone it immediately switches from AC charging to usb charging, it is the charger or is the port on my phone actually going bad?
I had the same issue and was told to clean the phone port connection. Just put some compressed air to it or blow really hard in there and see if that fixes it. It worked for me.
thanks for the advice, I just tried my car charger and it works, so I'll give it a try later.
It could be the port but I would try different cables first.
I have a number of micro USB cables and over time they can get stepped on or scraped.
For example I was plugging my micro usb cables in to my phone and my touchpad and it would get a loose connection.
After going to work I tried my friend's cable and it got a nice snug connection and charged great.
So I would say try ordering a brand new cable of monoprice before you completely call the micro usb port bad.
I have noticed over time the tiny metal "teeth" that hold the charger in flatten out and you can't get a solid connection, I mean mine is so bad that I literally have to have the phone on the edge of the table with the cord falling to the floor to apply the right amount of pressure to get a charge
Shifted to the extreme, cause I rawk Supreme
My charger keeps breaking, to be specific the cable.
The cable is very, very poorly designed. It contains 1 wire which is covered by braided shielding. The wire is the positive and the braided shielding negative. At the point where the braided shielding comes together for connecting to the micro adapter the shielding keeps breaking. This means no charging. I have tried soldering couple times but the shielding and wires are so thin it´s just usable a couple of times, until it breaks again.
I tried to make a DIY cable, but i didn´t get it to work. Probably need to place a resistant over some pins, however on the acer micro usb i couldn´t found one on the board where the micro usb is soldered on. Acer didn´t follow the usb standard with this adapter, the wire inside the cable is white, normally this is data instead of positive.
So i´m waiting for the 2nd time for a new 50 euro charger.
Just curious if more people also experienced this problems.
Yeah, I'm on my third charger now. You can charge them through USB although the charging light doesn't show and it takes about two full days to charge from low to 100%.
I have heard, though that a USB 3.0 supplies enough power to charge the a700. Haven't tried it yet, though. It may be cheaper just buying yourself a USB 3.0 PCI card for your PC and charging to that way.

I had similar issues where I thought my charger was broken, but it was a thermal problem. It seems, that if the charger keeps plugged into the socket for example over night, it can get so hot that it triggers some thermal protection and switches of. To reset the termal protection, It's not enough to let it cool down (which it does on it's own after shutting down anyway), but I had to unplug it for a couple of minutes, then replug it again - charger working!
I never had an issue with the cable though...
I got a Nexus 5 since December, and ever since I've had the phone, I've been having a tiny problem with the USB cord that came with it.
First of all, when I plug my phone into my computer with the cord, my PC would say my phone is connected and then in a split second it would say it's not connected. Then it repeats over and over and over again until I unplug my phone. This only happens with my USB cord. My sister also bought a Nexus 5 and her stock USB cord doesn't do this on my PC.
Secondly, when I'm charging my phone...if I hold my finger on the touch screen, it would jitter and jump around even though I'm not moving my finger. This doesn't seem to happen when I'm not charging or using my sisters charger cord.
Please help because this is kind of annoying... :\
This problem can be easily fixed. Use another usb cable and see if charging works. If it does then it's most likely the stock charger is broken like you said. If it's not a cable issue then it's the phone's usb port. Replace it yourself or RMA it.
about your phone jumping around when you touch the screen while its charging.. get a new charger, its your charger 100%. ive had this happen on all 7 of my android phones. as soon as i get a new charger, with the right volts/watts, it stops happening.
You have a slight chance of fixing the issue by thoroughly cleaning your usb cord. Use an interdental brush and compressed air to clean the cable from both sides preferrably. While you're at it, carefully clean your phone's connector too.
Its astonishing how many charging related issues are results of dirty connectors.
It really sounds like your cable broke though...
So I have an old tablet that has a duff battery an needed to be plugged in to run, then because of this the USB socket has now snapped off. I have been thinking about soldering the wires of a srtipped usb cable to the pads for the usb socket. When I opened it up to look i saw how the battery connects to the board (just two wires off the battery and soldered to the board) and thought of soldering the wires straight onto there.
Have turned it on and it works, but just would like to know what peoples opinions on doing this, like is there a chance of it blowing up?? Should i disconnect the battery and just leave it hard wired??? Should i just try and solder it to the usb socket pads (dont think my skills and equipment will be up to that)??
I want to use the tablet to control a cluster of raspberry pi's so will want to have it plugged in and on all the time.
Cheers Iain

In 90% of cases this is caused by either a faulty cable or a faulty powerbrick. Are you sure it isn't either of it?
Else try cleaning your port, once had this issue (but with microUSB) that it charged 5%/h just because there was so much dust in the port.
Also I had one (really cheap) USB-C cable which was just working when plugging in with one dedicated side up - so when I flipped the cable 90°, it wasn't even recognizing the cable -> turn back and even fast charging worked.
No faulty cable or no any cut with cable.. its genuine..
sometime getting fast or cable charging

Any Idea that how to clean port ???? i think its dust there.
i have exactly the same problem started happening today. multiple chargers and cables still shows slow charging
Same problem with me. Please help
I use a push pin (thumbtack with a plastic head) to clean the port. I have had to do this a few times since I got the phone a couple years ago. I have scraped pretty hard the bottom of the port and not caused any damage. Of course you do need to show some restraint. I don't want to be the cause of you breaking your phone. I had the most trouble with a car charger, but also the OEM charger. The cleaning has always fixed it for me.
