Could this be the reason my phone is charging only if I connect the usb cable at a very certain angle (have to use couple of books to arrange this setting)...
I have found that the best cables are the ones that come with the same brand of phone. Nothing fits like the HTC cables on my HTC phone. Same for Samsung on my Samsung handset.

I was having trouble with my damn usb port for over a year now, I was looking for solutions before, but I probably didn't have the right keywords, so I gave up..
Now I tried this and much like others, I had my doubts whether it'd do anything else than destroy your phone. I know that the DHD is catching dust every here and there under the surface, but I had a look into the port and it looked clean, I even blew into the port (old videogame cartridge trick ) but no change.
So then I tried your little tip.. and I kept catching new dust with my needle! Just watch my attached image, it's incredible!
Also, my port works perfectly now, before it was falling off at slightest touch, even the wrong angle and it wouldn't connect. Now it's easily snapping in and staying there.
God, thank you so much
Tried this, didn't get any dust :/ but what when I was cleaning it I saw the two little holes in the female side of the port that the clips for the male end are supposed to latch in. Turns out my male end was suffering from... impotence? Lol. I took a needle and adjusted the clips on the cable and it holds fine now. Just posting this for anyone else who's suffering looseness not caused by dust.
