Find me a USB-C that doesn’t fall out. Every Micro-USB male plug that I’ve used has those two notches at the bottom that hold it in place. Every device I’ve had with USB-C, I have to treat it like it’s super delicate while it charges.
You need to clean your usb c port. Get a match, and carve it down go a thin flat end that will fit between the blade of the usb c. Then clean out the lint. The charging cable should click into place if it’s cleaned out.
I have maybe a few dozen USB C devices all from dumb 5V/2A chargers to 20V/5A chargers. From USB 5GB to USB 40GB. Never once have I ever had issue with the cables and connectors. Only time I’ve had an issue was when I dropped my phone into the charging cable where it physically broke off.
Meanwhile I’ve had an iPhone for 4 years and the lightning connector broke in such a way I had to use hot glue to pull it out of the port.
Sorry, old terminology strikes again. I call any thin portable computer without an ODD or FDD a netbook; because all the damn things are good for is getting on the Internet. My actual laptop, I’ve had to do physical modding to the case to give it an ODD (and it still uses a USB port because of laziness).
I can literally swing my phone around with its USB C charge cable. As long as I don’t add enough speed for it to make full circles instead of swinging back and forth, it doesn’t drop. If I drop my phone and the cord isn’t long enough to reach the ground, even the sharp stop of ‘no more cord’ tends to not remove the plug.
I’ve never had a USB C plug fall out in my entire life, but I have distinct memories of wrapping a micro USB cord around the phone so the plug would maybe make some sort of connection and charge. Same with whatever plug the Nintendo DS used.
Do you have shit devices or shit cords? Because one of the two is causing the problem.
I’ve never had a USB C connection be why the cord failed, they all die because the cord is frayed or whatever. Micro USB is hot trash. If it doesn’t need to be removed, glue the fucker in its the only way it’ll last. At work for the EFTPOS machine we have a shield on one that locks the cord in, stopped us going through a micro cord every 2 months.
I think we must be. 3DS (xl) did ok, but dsi (xl) and original ds (thin) were atrocious for cords. They never 100% truly died but they didn’t really want to work either without some extreme sideways tension

I’ve had many instances of micro-USB bending, some to the point of breakage. This never happened even once with USB-C.
Very much the opposite. The only broken USB port I’ve ever had was a USB-C port for a netbook charger.
How? The netbook era ended way before USB-C is even a thing.

Lucky you. My experience has been the opposite.

Just NOW swapped a failed micro cord, charging only. Never had USB-C fail me. Not that it can’t, but it’s always been far more reliable.

My NDS plug (and 3DS plug) stays in so firmly I’ve had to tug on it. Are we living in Bizarro-land from each other?
