Take a tooth floss pick and dig all the pocket crud out of it, both the top and bottom side. try a fresh cable, if that fails try some deoxit on the port

Do this. It worked for me.
Yep, cleaning the port works most of the time. Lint and crap get caught in there and prevents the cord from plugging in all the way
I was happy when usb c came out because it looked like it had to be a significant improvement over micro usb, in terms of longevity and reliability.
It's looking like it's only a slight improvement though, which sucks.
I have yet to have a USB c port be ripped out of a device, I have had this happen to two USB micro b devices (ultra cheap). (USB c cords die relatively frequently though)
Remember when the little chip that held the pins in the middle would get obliterated?

I only used Apple for a very short time, but their connector seemed pretty neat. Small and with satisfying haptics. Too bad they are so shitty about patents and standards.
Idk what cables and devices youve been buying but ive seen an insane difference in durability going to micro to c.
For a start, none of my usb c cables have lost their gripping strength, one of which ive been using daily for over 6 years.
None of my usb c devices have had the central pin blade thing fall off or fatige to the point of not making a connection,
The one down side ive seen to usb c is that when i accidentally rolled my chsir over a connector, it did crush the oval inwards but i pried that open again and stuck it in my desk mic and its been working fine since.
That's the beauty of the Fairphone https://shop.fairphone.com/shop/fairphone-4-usb-c-port-25
Ugggg I was so close to pulling to trigger for one on my last phone death. But I was doing all this comparison and pricing, and at the end of it all, realized they arent sold in my shithole country and had like a extra 200 hundy shipping price. So im still android and the ogle. But next time... pretty sure itll be fairphone.
By the way, any users of the Mint mobile service who have a fairphone who see this comment, please respond to me. Im still only like 90 percent sure I use one with that plan.
As long as the parts are available.
Haven't needed them myself, but I've heard stories where they couldn't get a replacement part because it was sold out for a long time. Which kind of defeats the purpose.
Still, it is such a robust phone.
Digging around the forums it's really easy to find replacements! FP3 replacement parts are still widely available, and you can find FP2 parts by doing a bit of digging. Remember to contact your local Fairphone Angel too!
Now if only the hardware wasn't subpar and the OS unusable...
How is the OS unusable when you can always install a custom rom?
Fairphone even encourages it.
Didn't know that but I've not rooted in quite some years because Google actively opposes it and not everything works as well. But good point. I do however stand by my hardware point. Wish they made a premium Fairphone.
For me it works perfectly fine. I don't need a super computer in my pocket
All the better for you then. :)

Yea, I bought one of the induction chargers cause this happened to me about a year ago. My phone still works so i see no reason to buy a new one and quite frankly i just don't want to. Gonna ride this bad boy out until it dies.
Have you tried cleaning the port out, mostly it's crap built up in the port.
Rip.
Good luck buying a new one with all of * gestures at everything * this going on.
I just started buying cheap xiaomi phones. Mine cost 120€ and it can do everything I want it to do.
I had the same thing.
Turns out the charger was too weak. Getting a 2A (Ampere) charger fixed it.
