Buy a new charger. The old one seems to be unusable. Or it's an off brand that doesn't work well will the phone.

pvonk was actually replying to the OP, not to you. Your problem would not be solved by a different charger. Sorry.

Try the simplest things first: a very common cause of this is simply dirt/lint in the dock connector. Clean it out carefully, with a soft dry toothbrush or similar. If that doesn't work: keep asking.
