Samsung Galaxy S3 Charging Problem

One day, my phone started charging really slow, I figured out how to fix it by switching chargers. Recently, I've had to take the battery out of my phone, plug in the charger, then start my phone for it to charge, and I can't move it. If I touch the phone while its plugged in it will stop charging. Now it won't even charge after I take the battery out, put in the charger and put the battery back in. I've cleaned the charging port and nothing, I made sure the charger itself worked on my Kindle Fire and it charged fine, I could move it around and everything.
I really need my phone so answers ASAP would be much appreciated.

If the USB lead is good, the connector inside the charging port may be damaged, or possibly something further inside the phone.

It's a hardware problem. You'll have to let a mobile phone technician take a look at it. That's what I did. In my S3's case, the problem was the connector inside the charging port. The technician fixed it within 15-20 mins. Charging fine ever since. Touch wood.
