My iPhone 4 has been acting wonky for a few weeks now. It refuses to charge after a few minutes, or it will charge for a few hours and then stop charging in the middle of the night (much to the detriment of my sleep!).
I dropped by the Richmond Apple Store and made an appointment with a customer service rep (aka Genius). He took a look at it and noticed that there was dust in the dock connector port (surprise, surprise). A bit of cleaning ensued, followed by a pronouncement of the problem being fixed. I didn’t quite believe that dust would do that, I persist in disproving the dust removal fix. A few syncs with iTunes and the problem was back.
At that point the Genius offered to replace my iPhone 4, which I took him up on. The only down side was not recognizing people’s phone numbers on the caller id, as my contacts had not synced yet.
