Yeah I can able to charge it sometimes and sometimes i am struggling in wall charge too. Actually, i speculate there is a problem with my USB cable but im surprised how i can able to sync in iTunes without my phone gets charged up.

I did understand now. May be due to different cables the problem would have been. Thanks a lot for answering it and i will replace the cable asap.
