I bought this charger cord that’s 6 inches and 2x stronger than the ones I usually buy. The only problem is that the plug is too small for my phone’s USB port. I really like the cord and don’t know what to do to make it stay in.
Is the USB plug for your new charging cord exactly the same size/shape as the old ones you used to have? Certain phones only take certain size/shape charging cord plugs. You may have to use a different charging cord or upgrade your phone to one that takes that specific type of USB plug.
