Help Samsung Galaxy S3 Charging Issues

[susanpoop]

I am using a plainish type of charger/wall adapter from Walmart. It was $20....
When I put it into my phone it wiggles around and will only charge if it's in a certain way.

This happened with the first charger I got (came with the phone) after about 4 months. So I got the Walmart $20 charger and it worked fine. Now a couple months later it has happened again, only this time the same charger I got last time is not working.

I'm tight on money and would hate to have to get a new phone.
Any advice? Lemme know if you need more info, I'll check back often.
Also if you are suggesting I get a different product to correct the issue please post links.

My partner had similar issues with her charging port and eventually found it impossible to charge the phone at all. The cheapest solution was to use a wireless charger system. Something like this.

I was recently having similar issues. I ended up buying several different chargers, none of which worked. I finally ended up in a Radio Shack store, of all places, where a very nice supervisor, who told me he has the same problem, went through a whole variety of combinations of cords, and plugs, and, by trial and error, we found a combination for my car that worked. i now have two wall chargers that i know work, and the one in my car, and i just stick with those. it was the exact same problem as you describe - the plug into the phone wiggles with some chargers, and has to be just so in order to work.

I bought a used S3 with Samsung charger and also bought a cheap car charger. Both were fine for a while then got loose and barely charged, would take all night. And next morn it would show 100% but drop as low as 30% or lower as soon as it was unplugged. Am currently using a LG 440G flip phone charger and it not only fits really well but even charges while I use my S3, never been able to do that before. Hope this helps someone, did me a world of good.
