Sony Xperia Z only charging when it's out of battery

Hey,

I'm having a slight problem with my Sony Xperia Z and am hoping someone can help me figure this out 

A few weeks ago my phone started acting funny when the charger was in place, it would constantly charge on and off until i moved the phone slightlyand then it would charge, this happened for a couple of weeks, I have replaced the charger a couple times now, each one will work for a day or two before packing in. 

Then last week my phone wouldn't charge at all whilst on, i tried turning it off and charging it but again no luck, when the phone died I put it on charge in hope that it would charge and it did  but I've also noticed my battery has been draining faster since this too. 

Since this has started my phone has started turning off more frequently showing a spanner and a screwdriver in a triangle, especially when I've tried to reset my phone 

Any suggestions are appreciated!

Could be an app using more battery power than the charger is supplying, could also be a damaged port (check for fluff and lint in the port) which would need looking at by your local support, same if it is the battery that is on its way out.

You can try backing it up and performing a repair installation using pc companion too.
