If you use the USB connector a lot (and let's face it, we all sync, so who doesn't) over time the leads will either get dirty or bent down so they don't make a good connection. To test it out, plug the USB connector in and push it to the side to make a tighter connection.

I fixed this problem by cleaning the leads with rubbing alcohol and also using a pin to carefully bend them back into position. Don't do this unless you are prepared to break your phone! I don't want anyone screaming at me when they mistakenly break a pin and think it's my fault!

Hope this helps.
