I am having chatting issues. This just started happening when I woke up this morning. I forget if the micro USB is supposed to click when you plug it in the phone to start to charge. When I plug my phone in, I don't get any indication that the cable is locked in. Also if I move the cable ever so slightly. The phone will stop chatging. The USB cable feels like its gonna come out if I move the phone in any way.
I don't have any spare micro USB cable so I wanted to know if you guys are think this is a hardwarw problem or possibly if just the cable is messed up. Im hoping its the latter because I am not trying to replace my phone.
Also have any of you guys had this problem? Thanks
This isn't a question and answer forum.
Could be the cable. Different cables fit in differently. I personally use my kindle fire hd cable cuz it clicks in snugly with my htc charger.

So I was charging my phone and using it at the same time...and the charger doesnt stay in. its so loose....anyone else have this problem?
When my wife and I first got our Captivates her connection was really loose and would fall out. It turned out to be the plug itself, so maybe you can take it back to where you bought it from and ask for a new one.
This is my third Samsung android phone (captivate and nexus s), and it seems to be a common issue. I think its the cable though, as an HTC cable is nice and snug.

Have you tried plugging in another cable yet? Micro USB is a pretty common cable these days.
No problems with loose connections here.
In MicroUSB, the springs are moved from the device to the cable - so try another cable.
I noticed that I can not seem to turn the phone on while it is charging. I usually need to pull the usb plug out of the phone, push the power button to turn it on and then plug the usb back in for charging. Is this by design? If so, not quite sure why...
My other android phones never had this issue.
Also, please correct me if am wrong on this one as well. The USB port for Amaze is a standard micro USB. But for some reason usb side (male) of the charger that comes with the phone has a slightly different shape than regular micro USB plugs - so I can not use the same charger with my other devices that have micro USB (e.g. Sony reader, other phones). Yet a standard/traditional micro USB cables can be easily plugged in the Amaze. Again not sure why HTC decided to go with such design.
It almost feels that maybe I am missing on some "bigger picture" that gives a perfect logical explanation to these two observations...

I'm pretty sure the connector is an HDMI connector so you can connect it to a TV etc. But for why it won't start unless you unplug it beats me...maybe you're just not holding it long enough?
Thanks for clarifying about the port being also an HDMI. I totally missed it. Quite frankly, I did not even realise that micro HDMI and micro USB ports could be combined like that in one. This totally explains my second observation.
As far as not turning on while charging, I tried it many times including holding the power button for a few seconds but it does not come on unless I unplug. Normally when you turn it on there is a slight delay between the press and white "HTC" screen coming on. So maybe I am not waiting long enough and press again and it resets the "power on" command. Not sure...
Anyway, thanks for the info.
Mine turns on when I plug it in from an off state. I confirmed it last night right after my battery died.
Also the USB port is a 12pin. You will need a mHL adaptor to get the HDMI capabilities to work. You can check the Accessories Section.
You should look at your phone while its charging, it goes into recovery to charge but the backlight and colors stay off you can only see the text if your in direct sunlight that's why when you push the power button your basically pressing reboot system now (1st option) in clock work mod so in order to not get that while trying to turn it on while its charging well you have to take out the plug and the click the 1st option

Ah ha! That is great info. I will check it out. Thanks for everybody replies.
Also, I believe some ROMs have issues with turning on while charging. I forget which ones or if I am thinking of something totally different.
I just noticed the same thing the last couple times my phone died, just figured it had something to do with the ROM or recovery.

Your recovery has almost everything to do with off charging

Which recovery are you using. That is most likely the culprit for u not being able to turn it on

I took a mini USB cable and plugged it into my Amaze. It's the regular USB, not the Amaze USB, so it kinda wiggles around in the port. Then when I held up my Amaze with the USB in, it kept going on and off with the charging aspect of it. Anyone know?
Well...if it wiggles like you stated then that's your problem ya know. You lose the amaze cable?

I've got a mini usb cable that will do the same thing. Its because even though it will work, they can get loose enough that they won't make 100% contact. I've found that if you pinch the top part of the cable down a bit it'll grip onto the contacts better, but if you've got an HTC cable for your phone you're better off using it. The micro usb cables hold onto the contacts only, not the frame of the port like it should, while the HTC cable fits securely in the port and you run zero chance of anything breaking off.

I'm quite disappointed, I only got this Tablet on Friday and realise that it will no longer charge unless I hold the cable down when it is plugged into it (computer also won't recognise it until I hold the cable down). The charging port is extremely loose. I have contacted the sellers so will wait to see what they have to say :crying:
Has anyone else experienced issues with the micro USB port?

In my case i've found that the microusb is not that strong but i don't have that problem you mention. I recommend you to return the tablet a get a new one.

I haven't experienced any problems with charging my XTZ yet, but i have noticed that since i bought it the Micro USB cable seems to move around a lot (a lot of slack) while in the charging port.
On other devices micro usb port has got trapezoid like shape but in sony Z products(phone and tablet) port is rectangular which in my opinion is causing loosness of the cable. I have some slack there as well but it is not causing any problems. I guess it is a design problem and only thing we can do, is to be careful and do not wiggle it too much

I tried an HTC charging cable in my XTZ the other day and i had to at least mention it on here, but it seems to have a lot less wiggle room than the sony charger cable does :/
