I've been using a dongle with my phone for almost two years. Now, every time I charge it, I have to find a "sweet spot" where it actually works and be careful not to move the cable around or it'll stop charging.

Exactly this. All of those adapters from USB-c to 3.5 are ass no matter how many people try to say to just use them.

Give me a thicker, heavier phone if you have to, just give me the damn headphone jack.

Have you tried cleaning the plug? I find this happens a lot with debris etc.

With a fairphone you could replace it for 15 bucks

But with a good phone they wouldn't need to
