Lately, my iPhone 3Gs is giving problems with charging. The original charging wire worked fine for over a year then intermittently, instead of charging, a black screen appears with a yellow warning stating, "Charging is not supported with this accessory". So I purchased a new charger wire which worked fine for about 3 weeks and now the message keeps appearing regarding it can't charge. I must keep pulling-out the connector from the phone several times and the charging often returns for a while. What's the problem? Is it with the battery? The connector wire is seated tightly with the pins.
 
It might be the battery. Considering that the 3GS was released some time ago, it might be getting to its retirement stage.
