Does anyone have a tightness on the charging sort of like you need to angle it in to get it to fit.
im afraid that the charging port feels fragile and i'm afraid of breaking it by charging :S does anyone else have this? no issues so far just this micro usb port, its not the cord either.

Well, my jack fell off. If I take a plyers and pull it out of the tablet it works for a bit.
I was wondering if I sould send it back to VS, even tough there is some damage and all my rubber pads are missing. The device has not been opened.
Or...
Should I fix it myself, and how hard is it.
My main problem was opening those god damned tabs, they just wont budge and I dont want to butcher my case.
Bump, Anyone?
It is possible to solder it back on, have a look here for a discussion: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=842354&page=18
I've not found a replacement jack yet.
i may be going down this road soon myself... mine is getting a bit doddgy...
Does anyone know if you can charge the device via the docking port jack? possibly that could be a better solution.... that port is MUCH more sturdy.
You can charge via the dock port using the dock. The dock does not come with a charger but you can use your stock charger on the dock and it will charge the gtab just fine. I have only charged from the dock since I've received my dock.
Where did you get the dock?
So I recently posted on how my charger broke and come to find out it was only my USB that was broken, so all I needed was a new usb.
I saw someone post about monoprice.com so I headed over there and ordered a 10ft usb cord.
The one that came is much thicker than any other I've seen. I was wondering if this will have any affect on anything at all? I've connected it to my HTC charger and it's charging up smoothly. I don't expect anything to be wrong, I'm just wondering.
Your phone is going to explode.
I kid, I kid. Don't worry about it man. As long as it's charging, it's all good.
Charging port is loose and I have to push the charger in hard pull up and to the left and wrap the cord around it or hold it to get it to charge. I know there are many threads/youtube vids about this but nothing specific to the Charge.
This used to happen to my old droid x/x2 but a new charger would always fix it. I've tried about 8 different chargers and bought a new micro usb cord today with no avail. I ordered an actual nicer Samsung charger off of ebay (still waiting) but thinking at this point it won't help. It started by being loose, then having to lift it a little and has progressed over a few weeks to this point.
I'm wondering if I'm missing something and samsung chargers are slightly different in the port, if I can solder it myself, how difficult to do? I'd really like to avoid operating on it? What's going on at the pin level.
Thanks in advanced I'm pretty desperate at this point.

After doing some research I see that the XZ Premium doesnt have Qi charging built in like most other devices. There exists external wireless charging receivers that connect to the USB C port in the device to charge it. Im just curious if anyone has tried it and if so what are your thoughts?
Is it convenient to drop the device on a pad to charge if for around £15/$20? Or is it convenient enough just to continue using USB C?
Also I would like to know if charging speeds differ not that it would matter to me as I charge overnight but im just curious.
Thanks.
That sounds absolutely silly. Unless the plug-in accessory/dongle is actually also a case of some sort, what on Earth would be the point of plugging in an adapter to use wireless charging? If you are going to plug the phone in, just use the cable. Wtf...

some of these wireless adaptors have a very slim usb cable and pad so they can be placed in a case having a usb plug in the port all the time will keep dust out but could be annoying if you need to use the port for data transfer. In my experience charging is slower because most of the ones I have seen are rated at about 1A also they have to be placed on the charging pad just right and don't always work if your case is to thick. I use a micro usb one with my old phone worked well with one of those cheap TUP cases with the plastic back with the kick stand but only when I took the plastic back off. Another option is one of the magnetic cables not wireless charging but saves the usb port. hope this helps sorry I cant post links because this is my first post.

I understand your explanation, but it doesn't make the concept any less silly.
Well if it's not built in the phone why would i use dongles or anything else? unless there is a case that has a protection for the phone and wireless charging then i do not see a point on it.

Ive read that people use a case and they just place the receiver inside the case since its said to be really thin. Also the cable that plugs in is like a flex cable so you could easily hide the receiver inside a case.

My car has a nice wireless charging pocket that you put you phone in. It feels a lot nicer without having to plug in a cable and make a mess out of it. I would prefer using a wireless charging case just to NOT use an extra cable.
