    Oi! Mobile phone manufacturers

    Or whoever it is who makes charger cables.

    Get your frigging acts together and come up with a cable that doesn't require endless fiddling to find a sweet spot such that there's a connection and I can actually charge my device.

    iPhone, Samsung, HTC, Nexus - I've had em all and this always seems to happen to the charger cable within a couple of weeks of taking possession of the kit.

    Get a toothpick in there and fish out all of the belly-button lint. Good as new.

      Oh, is that what it is? I'll give that a whirl in the morning. Phone is currently charging - don't want to risk disconnecting the charger as it took me hours to get it to connect earlier.

          I bought a TYLT charger via Kickstarter and it works a dream thanks to the three coils that pick up the best position to use.
