Hi I just bought an xperia xz. The usb C cable does not fully connect inside the conector on the phone and seems to be loosen. If we just touch the cable it seems loosen White chargind. It does not seem to be proper connected on the phone. Is there any one with the same problem? I dont know if this is normal or my cable or my phone are damaged.

Hi @Lfsf86, welcome to the community.

It is not normal, no. Do you have another USB-C cable you can test this with?

I called Sony local support. They said if this is no interfering on the charging process (and its not) and its not loosen in such a way the cable can simply disconnected from the phone (and its not) its normal. The usb C conector after plugged on the phone remains 1-2mm out from the plug of the phone. Can you please send your point of view based on the above additional comments? Note: I called the vendor. He sent me a picture with many other xz connected on the cables. All have the same situation as mine.

Its fine like that. I didn't trust it also at the beginning. But Charging and Data connection works just fine even if i move the usbc little left and right. 😉

Hi, this is shameful. Such a huge company as Sony designs a poor conector. I have paid a fortune for this Xperia Xz. If I compare with Galaxy S7 Edge and IPhone 7 connectors, it does not happen. I bought a new cable and it does not fit well. Unfortunately, this is my last time with Sony Xperia type C connectors. If a company is not redy to launch a new produc its better not to do.

Just to inform everyone. Now my xperia xz is not charging anymore. I testes with new cables and plugs. The phone is dead. I sent to the store and they will give me a new one.

Hello,

Unfortunately, I see that I am not the only one in this case. I had exactly the same problem, the phone was less than a month old when one night it was impossible for me to plug it in to recharge it. I went the next morning to a shop specializing in mobile phone repair, verdict: a "paw" has moved inside the USB-C jack of the phone! My reaction, as well as that of the professional who observed my phone was surprised to find that such a problem could occur while the USB-C type jacks were specially designed: 1- for fast charge / 2 - TO AVOID THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM WHILE THE CABLE DOES NOT HAVE A DIRECTION OF CONNECTION!

So the question is, how come that happens! What's more, finding that the case is recurring !?

It's a hidden vice !? Yes !
It is the 2nd XZ I own, so I know the phone, and could compare, the 1st did not, and never had this problem!

My phone is currently being repaired at xperia care, I'm waiting to see the verdict.
If Sony finds the pretext not to take it as a guarantee I will not leave it there.

I can only advise anyone in this situation to do the same.

Paying a phone over 600 € to see a problem as improbable in not even a month of use, this is absolutely not normal! Especially vennt a box like Sony!

I hope I have been heard!

Hi Kahmye

Did Sony find in your favour, have they fixed the issue free of charge for you?
