I know it is a problem with my usb port, but I can always charge it via pc or turn phone off and use charger. I have insurance, it is just that everytime I think about taking it to store it starts working again (I have to get motivated to flash back to stock and relock).

Anybody know the best way for me to try to "clean" my usb port?

Well my one usb plug is pretty messed up, but the other is brand new. So dont really know what it can be. Maybe some dirt, dust, lint something got stuck in the USB port like the other poster said. Who knows, just doesnt make sense to me that it would charge while turned off or through every other means turned on except from a wall outlet. I got 2 batteries on there way with a battery wall charger, ill try charging a new battery in the phone. Its about the only thing left i have to try.
