Huh? Lol I dont get it. What you calling rear view mirrors for a phone? or are you joking about wishing you had hindsight? 😂

The plugs homie. I bought the plugs. They came with the jankey cleaning kit that changed my life hahah

Can you share any instructional material you used to learn how to change the battery and charging port?

I was scaping compacted sawdust off the bottom of the port with force using the Mcguyver’ed zip tie tool lol

100% did the same thing on the charging port for my infrared scope after the rubber connecting it to the scope, snapped. $1,300 scope saved by a tiny rubber plug you prolly cant even buy one at a time anymore now that the penny is gone lol (not that you ever could just saying they could be more than a penny each to make.)

That is not how Verizon stores work in the US. They dont even fuckin carry Samsung OEM charging blocks at my local Verizon wireless store. They havent done anything tech support related in a very long time. You basically go there for them to use your phone to call their customer/technical support to ultimately tell you to take it to a You Break IT We Fix IT store.

As I told another person with similar reply, the purchase was for the adhesive plugs to prevent this from happening in the future as i prepped to buy a new phine but the plugs happened to come with a jankey cleaning kit and turned my frown upside down. The plugs are as much of the take away as the cleaning the port.

Hollllllly fuck why is this the first time im hearing about this. It makes soooo much sense.

I mean I feel like your response says more to the polarity of lifestyles between the two of us than anything. Your go to top of the head way of getting dirt in a phone’s port was rolling in the mud? Lol

How about sawdust from sanding 1,200 feet of cedar. Or literal piles of dirt amd leaves covering stored acorns when im brushing off the seat of my tree stand for the 1st time in the past 9-10 months. Or flipping a breaker in my basement that was built in 1890 and basically a hole in the ground. Thats all happ3ned in the past week and a half or so. Extrapolate that over 1 to 3 years and you have yourself a good collection of dust particles getting compacted down with each time it gets plugged in.

So the amazon purchase was for the silicon plugs on a flap that adheres to your phone so it’s always plugged. As preparation to buy a new phone. It just happened to come with this lanky little cleaning kit. But the plugs are just as big of a takeaway as the cleaning.

Dare I say a classic 1-2-punch with corrective maintenence followed by pr3ventative maintenence!

So you missed the part where I explained I need it for my constant glucose monitor which perpetually drains my phone battery creating the whole battle of the port?

Or you saying im not being a risky enough diabetic leaving my phone out of Bluetooth range for the 8 or more hours it takes to charge a zfold5 on a wireless charging pad? Cuz say the word and ill go hypo-g right the fuck meow, son. /s couldnt pass on good diabeeetus joke lol

All bristles were nylon-ish material. All plastic no metal. The brushes were held by thin metal wire but so thin it was like throwing a hotdogs down a hallway.

Cheese and rice theres a lot of responses jumping to accusations of people too lazy but I’ve never heard someone too lazy to clean a phone port for $1000 savings.

100% of the people im surrounded by in my family/friends would be to afraid of breaking it beyond trade in value towards the new phone. My case was extreme but since the screens got better id have to guess charging issues is up there for one of the biggest reasons people trade their phones in.

I mean I cant speak for the fancy new oil-less compressors but dont you lubricate your compressor and run oil thru the lines to protect your tools and prevent broken airlines?

Plus the chance of forgetting to lower the psi before spraying the port cuz I’ve never done that ever before 🤣 idk man, id prolly test it first on an old broken screen phones before I started blasting phone holes lol.

Ohhhhhhh shit your talking about the aerosol cans of compressed air hahahaha fuck im an idiot lol

My phone is a Galaxy Z-Fold5, not new but not old enough for me to replace since the Fold7 just shipped.

Was hell bent sure the issue causing my phone to begin not accepting charging cables* was something Samsung was doing with their software updates. (*It charged fine with contactless chargers if youre ok with it taking 10-14 hours to charge)

It was too much of a coincidence that the phone charged 100% fine with any and all cables. Download a software update (not android update, this was samsung delivered update) phone doesnt charge with a cable after that for 2-3 weeks. Im T1Diabetic who uses wifi connected glucose monitor, so it fuckin drains battery juice 24/7 with very little setting controls to mitigate it. So I spent 2-3 weeks battling with it to charge on charging pads.

Didn’t change a thing with what I was doing and BAM another Samsung update, weirdly close to the last update and fuck me running if the phone didnt start charging very very tenderly with charging cables again.

Eventually figured fuck it, if its hard to do the phone is broke if its easy enough to do then maybe it will help and bought a pack of adhesive rubber type C port plugs from Amazon that came with a super cheap cleaning kit. It wasnt anything special. It came with the picture pointed and spaded q-tips, a flexible wire brush, then I used my own zip tie that I shaped, a sim card tool and a cloth for cleaning glasses. AND WENT TO FUCKING TOWN.

Everytime you plug in your charger to your phone, any dust that is in there is getting buttfucked into the back of the phone’s charging port like its a muzzleloaded gunpowder. Lol a bit hyperbplic but you get the point.

Finished cleaning the port. Plugged it in. First fuckin try, no fighting it, no switching chargers, no “charging but not fast charging” bullshit, no more voids in guessing my blood sugar, no more watching tv holding charger into phone. AND $1,000+ THAT IS STILL IN MY FUCKING ACCOUNT.

I gotta assume this is the #1 driver for phones needing to be replaced ever since the screens stopped shattering everytime you sneezed. The adhesive rubber plug is amazing. It is hardly noticeable and stays in the charging port even with my opening and closing of screens. It never pops out.

Honestly the smartest $10 I think I may have ever spent.

TLDR: Phone not charging? Buy $10 type C cleaning kit from amazon, watch 5min video on tips for cleaning, clean charging port for night and day results. Not difficult, very hard to fuck up your phone unless you jackhammer the port cleaning it. Saves you the cost of a new phone.

And obviously this isnt a fix all for all charging issues.

I mean south park has been going in hard on Trump jokes. They show his needle dick every episode lol.

Maybe for where you live but not for my neighborhood.

Why is that obvious?
