micro usb port broken - Nexus S General

Hi, for the last couple of week my micro usb port has been malfuctioning, giving me a hard time to charge my phone. I found some replacement ports on the interwebz but havent found out one that lists the nexus s phone. So... are these ports like universal? or are they different from model to model and brand to brand? thanks!

Beware of aftermarket USB cables

I picked up a couple aftermarket usb cables of Ebay for my tab so I could connect it at the office and use them in the charger for travel. I realized today I cant connect to my PC when I use the aftermarket cables. Just a heads up
You have to get the cable that matches your tab model. The pin outs are not the same between models.
Where??? I always got my accessories for my phones on Ebay without issue.
I believe what the OP is saying is make sure get charge and sync cable. I'm guessing the one he bought was only capable of charging. Fewer pins to connect = cheaper costs.
The pins are different for different models. When I bought a second cable off ebay, I couldn't get the cheapest, because it wouldn't work for my model. I had to buy the at&t model.
I bought a couple of these usb sync/charge cable recently from the eBay and gad no problems with them. They came with proper boxes wraped up.
If yoy need the link, let me know and i will send it to you.
Thanks.

Galax Tab Sprint Cable
I have the oem cable and this aftermarket cable from ebay.
I've been using the cable from ebay since I got it.
The cable works fine and is longer.
Again I have a Sprint Samsung Galaxy Tab

Just (arrived yesterday) got an after marked cable from ebay, just tried to use it and my Tab appears to shut down (black screen, no response from buttons etc).
Luckily I have my original cable with me but now that's doing the same (into a PC and mains).
Is this a massive coincidence of have I just goosed my beloved Galaxy Tab?
I bought a number of cheap retractable cables from ebay and they all work well for sync and charge.

I really hate that the OEM cables are so dang short. I'd love to find a couple of longer ones.

I use my OEM cable tho it is short, I use my USB cable extension from my logitech wireless mouse, It works just fine.
Of course when syncing I plug it direct to PC
I bought two different from DealExtreme a couple of months ago.
Both are working fine on my Dutch operator-free stock rom Tab.
The cables are a bit thinner then the original but for me works fine both charging and pc connection.
Shipping is free but some packages get lost "somewhere".
So it is just a risk you might want to take.
Only $ 2.90 to lose so for me better then eBay
Example: http://www.dealextreme.com/p/designer-s-data-cable-for-samsung-p1000-1m-length-51931
Bought there very cheap other accesoires as well:

When your at it I think you prefer to order a 2Amp car charger for example as well.
AliExpress also has lot's of items:
http://www.aliexpress.com/wholesale?SearchText=charging+p1000&catId=0
Be sure to use a "gold supplier" if you want to have more guarantee that it actually be delivered.
Thans from another dutch guy who borght his stuff at mobilesupplies.nl for reasonable proces. Two charges a Docking station and a bluetooth keyboard in leather case.

USB miniport replacement

Hello all
I think my miniport is broken on my Nexus S, since every computers just say unrecognized devices and keeps mounting/unmounting it... Since warranty is not an option (bought the phone in US, live in Europe), I would like to ask if anyone know if it is possible to replace the miniport? Either myself or at a phone repairshop? Just wanting to check before running around searching for a repairshop...
Try a new cord before you blame the phone itself. Both my and my wife's original Samsung power cords went to pot in less than 9 months. Mine's dead (OK, the spaghetti sauce might have had something to do with it.) and hers is having the same mount/dismount issues you describe. I had the same problem with previous cords from LG
I'm currently waiting for this one to come in the mail from Amazon: Mediabridge - USB 2.0 A-Male to Micro-B Cable (6 Feet). It has very good reviews and a reasonable price.

Sv: [Q] Good OTG cable?
You can buy OTG cables from E-Bay / Dealextreme. Take a look there, most of them is pretty ok and they are very cheap.
I use a OTG cable from a local store on my Xperia(Same cable, works 100% on Nexus 7) and its a pretty basic one. Just order a cheap one.
I got mine off Amazon ....2 bucks. Works fine! Took 3 weeks to get here.....but I didn't pay attention ....it was coming from Hong Kong. Lol

GEEK! Free Micro USB to USB C!

I'm geeking out right now! i never thought that my unit (LG-H791) has an included micro USB to USB type C adapter! Lucky! i dont need to buy a separate cord!
Yep, mine have it too. Serial number 606 (June'16).
The first Nexus 5x I bought did not have an adapter included. Gave it to my girlfriend and bought a second one and this time it had an adapter. Both of the phones where brand new unopened.
Mine didn't have it either. The OP said 791 is this only for international versions?
