I have a feeling that the charger does not connect properly to the micro usb port. It is loose and often disconect. Phone is out of warranty. CAn I repair it myself? Do you know if I have to solder new port? How much does it cost in workshop?

Hi Gary Youngman, there is no need to solder the usb port. U can replace the daughterboard usb usb c port. Use this guide to replace the daughterboard. another alternative would be to check if there is a dirty connector - than you can use tweezers to clean

I am facing the same problem with my s8+ and it is not connecting with hard drives and usbs. And the phone sometimes does fast charging otherwise it is on cable charging and my charger works fine with other s8+. Do I also need to replace the daughterboard? My phone is still in warranty tho kindly guide me so I can take suitable action. Thanks. And kindly tell me if the problem is with the daughterboard what made it broken or it is due to water?
