I’ve been using my USB cable for almost a year now and have noticed that the mini end connector has not been connecting very well lately due to ware; it pops out with the slightest movement or has problems transferring. What I noticed is that the connector is poorly designed and does not slide in all the way, I took off the rubber nub thingy and clipped off about 2mm of the black plastic shroud that covered the metal connector with a very small and sharp pair of wire cutters. I then slid the rubber nub back into place. When I plugged it in I was amazed! You could hear and feel it click in, it's even better than new!

btw, don't cut past the little arrow or you will cut the locks that hold in the internals...
