My phone won't charge?

I recently bought a new charger for my Galaxy S3. Actually, this is my 4th time getting a new charger! Every time I plug in my phone it starts charging but then I make one slight move to my phone and the lightening sign on the battery icon is gone. Then I move it back to a specific place and its charging very slowly. Sometimes it just starts discharging even when I don't move it! What can I do to prevent this?

    Sounds like the charging jack on your phone is broken or there's a loose connection inside, which explains why it sometimes works when you move your phone around. It's not something you can fix yourself. Take your phone to a repair shop.

    That's not the charger. The USB / charging port on the phone is bad. It needs to be repaired.

    It sounds like the issue is with the charging port on your phone, not the charger.

    I doubt the Charger is the problem, have you changed the BATTERY?
