Hate to bring a thread back from the dead, but I figured I would share my success story in case it helps anyone else.
I was having the same symptoms as OP and others for a long time, the charger would slowly start to work less and less, the plug wouldn't stay in the socket properly, I would have to fiddle with the plug to get it to start charging, and getting it to charge from a dead battery was next to impossible.
I assumed that the port was wearing out, and that I'd have to somehow swap it out, but I fixed the problem in probably the least technical way possible: I took the battery to out to prevent any short circuiting, and I stuck a needle into the port, around the USB contacts, and slid it back and forth. Lo and behold, I pull it out with more dirt and dust and lint than in my dryer's lint trap. So I do it some more, try to get as much of the stuff out as possible. Plugged the charger in, and it locks right in, charges right away, and is entirely back to normal.
So, if you're having this problem, maybe check to make sure the plug isn't full of dirt first!

oth much of the problems comes from dirty then exposed to moisture motherboards . Just simple cleaning ensures the longitivty of the device:
enjoy your fix !!!!!
