Hi everyone,
Unfortunately I've confirmed that the USB-C port on my 8 is starting to fail. The connection is not always made, "charging" disappears from the screen or sometimes quickcharging does not engage. I have tried the same cable and the charger with another device and there are no problems, which for me confirms that the 8's USB-C port is starting to fail somehow, either becoming enlarged and losing connection or is has come slightly detached from the PCB.
I know this has been reported a lot on other models of HMD Nokia phone, does anyone have experience of it on the 8?
Thanks

Mine is doing this too... It's not even 2 years old and I've never had a charge port problem in any phone I've had. Must be the poor quality USB C, I've never thought of them as particularly robust.
Once I've had it replaced, hopefully under warranty, I have a magnetic charging cable with a plug that stays in the entire time and the cable attaches with a magnet, so it will save constantly inserting the regular cable.
Nokia 8 here is just over 2 years old. In general it's a great device. Held out for a long time awaiting an Android Nokia :)
Same experience here, I've tried "expanding" the cable end C connector shield, using thin aluminum tape to achieve a tighter fit. Nothing really works. Noticed with the tape, best contact to the internal connection leads on the phone are when the connector is completely "shoved" in and firmly inserted all the way. Seems the internal shield tends to expand with a tapered deformity.
There is a small shop near that does custom repairs as seen in a few Nokia 8 videos, replacing screens and such, thought about letting them have a go replacing the connector, get the battery upgraded while at it.
Phone is worth it to me. I've dropped, kicked and inadvertently stepped on it, it just keeps on working :)
