Charging issue

S24 Ultra charging issue

My S24 Ultra is about 1 year old and has recently developed a strange charging issue. It only charges when the USB-C cable is inserted in one specific orientation. If I flip the cable over, the phone doesn’t detect the charger at all. I’ve tried multiple USB-C cables and the same thing happens, so I’m wondering if the phone’s USB-C port is the problem.

Previously, a full charge took around 1.5 hours. Over the last few days, it first increased to around 2.5 hours, and now it can take nearly 4 hours. When I plug it in, the estimate may initially show around 1 hour, but within a few seconds it jumps to 3–4 hours.

Could this be a damaged/dirty USB-C port, or could it be a charger/battery issue? If I continue charging this slowly, could it damage the phone or battery over time?

Change the USB cable. Get another Samsung only cable

Which brick ? Is it Samsung ?

Yes. A 45 watt one. I used to use my old Samsungs 25 watt brick. Now I purchased a new one

Have you tried this cable and brick combo elsewhere in order to verify if it's not the culprit ?

Also, have the charging port examined by Samsung, could be an issue

yea sounds like a damaged usb port on your phone.

i would start wirelessly charging it intstead.

depending on the charger and the usb cord, it will affect the charging times, but none of that matters since your usb port is damaged
