Few days after update to android 10 i started to have notification saying usb connector disconnected and connected without any cable being attached to phone. Its going in loop...flickering from disconnected to connected erc.

As well i have issues with genuine samsung headphones that were included in box... they do not work anymore.

All happen right after update....


Is this a hardware issue or software bug?

Anyone can help?

I did factory resset....even my battery is not holding up well...

I'd recommend getting magnetic USB-C cables for that matter. I've bought one (actually three but only one with the magnet) from AliExpress with PD-capability (they cost around 10€ for cable and magnet combo, 7€ for the cable and 4€ for the magnet itself) and I'm totally satisfied with them. I only have to unplug them if I e.g. use my wired headphones for telephony (since my bluetooth headphones have got a bad mic) and flashing updates/rooting via Odin (because they only support USB 2.0 speed standards).
