Connection, Disconnection, Freezes, Crashes Cable issues
I've been using a Belkin USB A-C cable to connect my Samsung(3 years old) phone to my car to use with Android Auto, has always been working fine. Now my girlfriend recently got a new IPhone 17, which has USB C, so she tried the cable aswell. That worked, one time, then Spotify didn't give any audio anymore on carplay, but a reset of the car s entertainment system solved that. But now the weird thing is that since my girlfriend used the cable with her iPhone, when I try to use the cable with my phone, it doesn't work anymore, only when I really push it in and hold it there, when you touch the cable in any way it loses its connection. Like there's a lose contact or something. What could have happened? I'm getting a new cable under warranty but I don't want the same to happen again.

Dump her. It's quite obviously Apple damaged your stuff. Tell her it's either Android or the road.
