   A new cable works wonderfully. For maybe 6 weeks. Then when I use the Samsung   
   phone while charging... "Beep-boop, beep-boop”, charge indicator on, off,   
   on, off. Over and over.   
      
   Replace cable, all is well.   
      
   Rinse, repeat.   
      
   Buying a new cable every month is not expensive but also not something one   
   should have to do.   
      
   Yes, I've cleaned out the phone's connector of lint and debris.   
      
   I've seen instructions re. fixing the cable connector by bending the tension   
   pins (external, bottom-side) but there are several types of tensioning   
   designs; not all are repairable, IME.   
      
   Anyone find a long-term fix, or quality cable that avoids this problem   
   altogether?   
      
   Thanks.
