Problem with charging 4s

    I have a car charger that I got when I purchased my phone nearly 2 years ago, it works perfectly, as in charges the phone. But due to age the pins to hold the charger are now broken and I have to balance the phone to charge while driving. I bought a aux/charging cable so I can listen to music via the car-stereo while driving, but it will not charge the phone. I have tried charger my wife go for her car and it will not charge my phone. The only charger that will work in either car is the old battered one. I tried the Aux cable with a PC to see if that would charger, but no joy.

    Any ideas if this could be a software issue? Someone mentioned that some phone will only work with apple chargers, which I find difficult to believe.

    All manufacturers provide chargers which have different electronic values (impedence, resistance, tolerance etc) so phones will take longer or shorter to charge with a charger from a different manufacturer.

    Apple chargers are very awkward and if there is even slight damage to the charging port on the phone then the old one will be the only one to work for the reasons outlined above.

    People have been known to incur injuries from phones overheating etc when using a non apple charger
