Charge port needs replacing
This happened to me as well. I just ended up going through my insurance coverage from Best Buy to get the phone replaced.
You can buy the port on eBay as a replacement part. If you are looking to replace it yourself there is a great youtube video that shows how to tear down the thunderbolt:

Here is a link to the ebay search results:

Another option if you do not really need the usb cable to connect the phone to your computer is to check out an external battery charger. you can pick them up cheap on ebay along with spare batteries. that way you can have one on charge while using another. here is a link to the search results on ebay:

I hope this helps!
