Help Phone won't charge in a wall

Aside from the usual and widespread battery-releated issues with the Triumph, I'm having a ton of charging issues. The biggest being that it simply doesn't charge when plugged into a wall or via my car charger. I've tried a variety of car chargers and wall charger types (including a straight up Micro-USB charger and a charger you can plug USB devices into to charge) and I get the same result..which is nothing. I used to be able to charge it with a wall or car charger, but out of the blue I stopped being able to do that. Here's the kicker though...it charges perfectly fine (albeit slowly) when plugged into a computer, cablebox, xbox, printer, TV, etc. Anything with a USB slot in it can charge the phone. Except for walls. It's REALLY quite frustrating because I've had to use USB extension cords to allow me to charge my phone at night while keeping it by my bed (I use it as my alarm).
 
I have been experiencing the exact same problem over the past three weeks. I believe that mine is a micro USB issue. It appears that if I hold the cable at a certain angle/pressure it will charge.

I have tried multiple chargers and multiple cables. I can't seem to narrow it down to anything other than the micro USB port on the phone.

I compared the port on the MT with the port on my new Blackberry 9860 and the port on the BB is built sturdier than the one on the MT.

I am debating whether to try and get a replacement or purchase a new device and move to tmobile.
