XV6800 mini usb jack quit working

[ebysoccer08]

I bought one of those mini usb to 3.5 mm headphone adapter things, hooked it up and it worked fine. Ever since, to get the phone to charge, I have to sit there and shove the plug into the jack at an upward angle. The phone charges in this way, but still won't sync at all. The included Y-adapter now does nothing to help me, but headphones work through it too.

I don't want to swap for a new phone, I have this one's ROM and everything customized. Anyone else had this problem and figured anything out? thanks
