So I noticed at some point after an update (PixelOS) that the phone's vibration was either bugged, or the phone froze and rebooted when charged. Thought it was a software bug at first, didn't pay much attention. Issues mostly went away with time, which is also weird (will make more sense later). Then I noticed that the PC data connection wasn't working. Phone wasn't recognized at all by the PC, was only charging.

Did a factory reset from the phone since I can't access adb/fastboot with a cable. The vibration bugs and freezes came back immediately when charging. They are less frequent as time passes again, which makes me wonder if there's a software failsafe. When I manage to establish a PC cable connection (extremely rare, aprox. 1/50 tries), it works for a few seconds, couple of minutes max. If the connection is stable, then the phone always freezes and reboots. Other times, it keeps disconnecting and connecting to the PC, until it completely loses connection (without moving the phone/cable).

I'll try to explain the vibration bugs. Most common is to get a weird buzzing sound, instead of the normal smooth vibrations. To avoid confusion, it's NOT constantly vibrating, just misbehaving. Issue stays even when I disconnect the cable, only goes away with restart. I've also noticed that vibration may not work at all when connected to a cable. Many times, it doesn't even bug out.

My solution so far is to charge the phone when it's off, or restart it after every charging session. Still no cable data transfer though, I use cloud or wi-fi when necessary.

I opened up my phone today to swap the battery and cleaned the USB port, also reseated both cable connections. Same issues still persist. It seemed fine with a naked eye, apart from a circular metal around a screw hole which was slightly lifted on one end, both sides (front and back). Seems unimportant, assuming it's a guard, but just in case here's a pic I found with the metal end:

Is it a charging board issue, creating shorts or something? Could it be something else?

1.Data connection no longer possible, phone is not being detected. Tried several PCs (Windows and Linux). No luck. Tested using different USB cables. No luck. Tried in android and in TWRP. No luck. Tried connecting to other android phone via type c to type c cable. No luck. Phone no longer detects USB OTG devices either. Have yet to try adb/ fastboot stuff, but I'm quite pessimistic there tbh.

2. Charging only works with factory supplied charger or other chargers with some kind of quick charge tech (I'm no expert on these things). Older, slow chargers no longer charge the phone at all; neither do USB connections to PC.

I thoroughly cleaned the charging port, looks squeaky clean to me...

Any help would be greatly appreciated, I really am running out of ideas here.

off more than once in a row, knowing that the

fingerprint is used by touch and not pressing, and

it is repeated more than once in a row
