I have the same with the headphone jack of my laptop...
I tried to clean it but that didn't help.
Mine is at the point where there is only one specific USB-C cable that I can charge it on.
Literally all other cables simply won't charge it, and now it's at the point where I need to have that cable in a very specific position for it to charge.
At least wireless charging still works, the phone is only 3 years old, I really should replace the battery and port
I am sorry for your loss..
Try with a different/new cable.
The contacts on a USB-C cable can become fatigued and lose the tension needed to maintain a solid connection, which can cause this issue.
This happened to my old Nintendo Switch :'(
My phone started doing the thing, where, if I let it discharge to 18% before setting it up to charge, it doesn't charge unless I turn it off and on again.
No, Restart does not work.
As well as the other suggestions, was discussing this with someone just yesterday and they suggested filling the port with PVA glue (like the stuff used at school, not super glue or epoxy!) and a bit of thread, then pulling it out with all the crud once it's set.
No idea how effective it is personally, when I got my current phone I got some plastic usb c port covers and that stays in place whenever I'm not charging, so far it's done the job.
That's a tiktok thing. In the videos it's satisfying to pull out all the glue and pre-staged gunk from the port in one solid go, but in reality you have no idea how much dried glue is being left behind or how it's going to interact with the lint and dust in the port. You could potentially render the port unusable. Better to go with a soft pick and some compressed air.
People have offered great advice, one special case: Does your phone still have microUSB for some reason? In that case you might just need a new cable
