Samsung Galaxy S3 charging problems since recent update

Just did an update (a couple of days ago) on my Samsung Galaxy S3 and now my phone is freaking out.
In the past I have used the OEM house charger & car charger and an aftermarket house charger with no problems.
Since the update now when I plug into any of the chargers the battery icon on my phone will alternate between the lighting bolt and a red X. Sometimes it just repeatedly alternates between the two until I unplug the charger and re-plug it in. Occasionally it will be fine when I plug in and then in the middle of the night start alternating between them as well.
Then there are other times where it doesn't do anything at all and the icon stays on the lighting bolt.
A few searches have said something about the charging port, but I don't really think that is it since I had no issues until I did a Samsung update.
Any suggestions would be great.
