Why isn't my iPhone (3G) charging like it used to?

So… I went to visit my dad in Georgia, and I dropped my phone on his floor. No problems then. I didn't need to use it, so I put it in my pocket like nothing happened. Then (the next day on the drive back home - at around 9 pm), I wanted to text one of my friends. I went to the messages app, and I noticed that I couldn't close it. Then I restarted my phone because I wanted to play Tetris. My phone died by the time I got home (at about 12 am), and it wouldn't charge.

-Fast Forward about a week later-

I got my phone fixed (turned out the home button was messed up), and I could exit out of programs like normally. However, my phone's SIM card keeps disconnecting (as in, the card is in there, but my phone refuses to read it), and my phone charges really slow (it takes ages for my phone to reach 10%). Now my phone doesn't even charge. My phone is currently dead, and I'm not sure what I should do now.

Time to get a new one.

Get the 4.

  • Why people like iPhones? I can't never get people who like iphones to give a good reason, why? Some say it easy, but a lot have no clue on how to use their own phones. Can someone explain something useful that great about iphone? Everything they think is special other phones have been doing for years.

  • Why isn't my iPhone charging? - 1 So, new software popped up for me to download for my iPhone3. After it finished loading. It seems to have turned off and I can't get it back on. I try charging it and the apple sign just pops up and then 3 seconds later a blank screen, then apple logo, then seconds later a blank screen and so on. I have been trying to charge it for hours. What gives?
