Did you get either problem fixed? Surely the first one at least should have been covered under the warranty.

On the USB-C, not saying this was your issue but really every USB-C phone I've had I've eventually needed to use a needle or pin and clear junk out of the bottom of the port to keep a good, solid connection. I don't know if that says more about the amount of lint in my pockets or the design of the USB-C port.

Me too, but as my only phone with USB-C is my Pixel 3, I assumed it was the fault of the model.


I've found a can of clean compressed air to work pretty well for this, with less risk of damaging the contacts than with a sharp object


A toothpick also works fine.
