Er, does all this not actually point to the phone being the problem
rather than the charger?

Excellent question. The fact that properly cleaning plug resolved most --
though not all -- of the problem suggests that both and plug and jack have
problems.

The possibility that the jack is not in the best of shape is why I bought
a
charger that works through the 18-pin interface.




It may also suggest that cleaning the plug also indirectly cleaned the jack,
which was the culprit all along.

Which may have been what the "smiling b****es" were trying to tell you, but
you wouldn't listen.
