my iphone 6 now only charging on one side, I tried different usb cable and no luck. after doing more research online I replaced the charging port and apparently that did not help. phone is out of warranty so apple support wont do anything.
any thought of what could causing this?
iPhone 6, iOS 9.3.2
like it shouldn't matter what way to you insert the cable to your phone to be charged. mine seems to only go one way. if i flip it the other way its not charging

yes I am using genuine cables (label designed by apple in california and 12 digital numbers) and it should be bidirectional 😕 but somehow only wanna charge one direction.
Then that cannot be an issue with the charging port on the iPhone, as it is NOT bi-directional. The cable is the bi-directional component of the lightening port standard. The iPhone's female port only has pins on one side, so if the cable works at all (in either configuration) then the iPhone port itself must be functioning fine, else it would not work regardless of which way the plug was inserted.
The issue then has to be with the cable. Are you using genuine Apple cables? The smart chip/circuit in the actual cable is what detects which pins to send power and signal to and enables the ability to flip the cable. If the chip is bad, or it's not a cable from a company authorized by Apple to make and sell lightening cables, then it may not work.
I don't understand your question? What do you mean it is "only charging on one side"? The male lightening port pin is bi-directional, but the female lightening port has pins on only one side.
I cleaned the cables and the port as advised. It's working but keeps dropping out in between.
