I have recently started having issues with my GNEX charging in the car. I purchased the phone in January 2012 and have had no issues other than battery life which I purchased the factory Samsung 2100 series battery to help with. About one month ago the phone stopped charging in any of my vehicle charging ports when using the Samsung charger. I noticed that if I wiggled the cord at the micro USB port connection I would occasionally get confirmation of the lightening bolt that the phone was charging. I thought that it was the USB cord so I replaced it with a new one that I has purchased from ZAGG as well as a new ZAGG charger. No dice, so I returned the charger but kept the cord. I then tried my original Samsung plug with the ZAGG cord, again it wouldn't charge. I then tried my Samsung cord with a new SCOCSHE charging plug, finally it worked, or so I thought, it showed charging for about 2 minutes and then actually quit charging. I took it to my local cellular repair shop and they said it was a broken MICRO USB port so I paid them $65 to repair it. I plugged it back into my car and immediately it showed it was charging, only to last about 2 minutes again and quit charging. I have gone thru all my apps and uninstalled anything that I installed in the last 2 months and there has been no change. I have also plugged it into my wife's car and it does the same thing. I have not done a factory reset on the phone because I don't want to lose everything I have on it. There is no water damage to the phone at all. I have insurance thru Verizon/Assurion what are my options? I have to have a working charged phone for my work.
Thanks
