This probably isn't your issue, but I've had issues in the past, usually with a cell phone that sits in my pocket, that show up as cables no longer maintaining detent and falling out. The issue was actually accumulated dirt in the bottom of the female connector. Scraping it out with a toothpick fixed it for me. Just a FYI.
- jacquesm 4y agoThere are little rubber covers that you can use to close the connector hole when it isn't in use.
- genewitch 4y agoi feel as though the port in the phone is male, and the cord side is female, since the part that actually "mates" goes into the cord, not the other way around. when i started typing this i had a coaxial cable in mind as an example of "looks like female but isn't", although UHF/F come close. the "male threaded" part is not the male connector.
