Anyone have their charger port go bad? I went to plug it in tonight and the OEM charger no longer "fits." I can use a generic but can tell it's not a tight connection. Of course my year was up two weeks ago. Argh.

Yes mine went bad back in October,but got a free replacement
Does the port become disfigured or bent up inside? I haven't used mine much with a charge pad... it's full of pocket lint.

But both of those who went bad and got replacements - Still under warranty? I've had mine over a year and I'm thinking they will tell me tough luck. Just so frustrating when something can't hold up for more than 13 months.

If you do not have the extended warranty or insurance, you are out of luck, the standard warranty is 12 months and they hold to that. For a mid to high-end smartphone I always recommend the full insurance w/extended warranty, so if you have any issues during your contract you can get it replaced, the ~$6.47 seems high over 24 monthes ($156) but have you tried to replace a bad phone, even on Swappa? It will likely cost more than that... the other thing you can always do is when your contract is close to expiring, have an "issue" with your phone and get a refurbished replacement (as long as screen is OK and no water damage should be free), then renew and get a new phone, and sell the refurbished one and come out ahead! Gets into a little of a grey area, but I know several people who have done this, and typically wind up with a fair amount of cash in their pocket!
