Perhaps you need to visit the Verizon Wireless store and ask some
questions. It might be helpful if you bring both the phone and the
charger with you.

Some of those "micro USB" sockets do not offer a good grip.

the socket if I didn't arrange the phone and the cable so that the plug
is actually held in position by the cable.
