Reply to comment by Jesse0100 in LPT: Don’t buy a new phone charger the moment your phone doesn’t charge anymore. 99% of the time, it’s a clogged charging port. Take it to any iPhone or android repair shop and they’ll clean the lint and gunk out for free. Charges brand new even with janky chargers. by FappinPlatypus

That doesn’t prevent much. Lint and gunk will build up regardless. Put in your bag, pocket, upside, downside. I’ve tried them all, they all end up the same.

After messing up several phones like that over a decade I started doing that religiously. Now I have had the same phone for 3 years with no problems. It works for me.

Fully believe it’s just the lifestyle we live. I’m on my phone 24/7 for work and home. I don’t look at it when I’m placing it in my pocket 99.9% of the time. I don’t think anyone else really does either.

Either way, I suggested an easy an free fix. And like always, yes, there is preventative measures.
