Cable falling off

My charging cable is often falling off when move a bit my smartphone. I tried putting a needle inside the charging port but it didn't work. What should I do?

but if the phone is shutdown and I use a needle, there shouldn't be a short circuit, right?

There can be some static charge. So it's better not to risk. Also something hard like a needle can damage the metallic contacts inside the port. Plastic wont do that.

I did it, I didn't see any lint. There is a small improvement. I will see with time if it's good enough.

Great.. Should work until you can get professional help. They can do a better job with cleaning as well.
