Has anyone experienced this, while i have my gs2 skyrocket off and plug it in To charge it it goes into factory mode. Is this normal?

You mean the recovery mode? Like Clockwork mod right? Are you rooted and using a custom ROM?

Ur charger just works as usb jig and it will come handy when you have soft bricks. Do not worry there is nothing wrong with ur phone.

Mine only does this if i
Power on while holding volume up+down with the charger plugged in. I noticed it the other day when trying to get into recovery while charging.

This is not even remotely normal. It's likely that either your phone or your usb cable is defective or damaged.
I'd get a warranty replacement...
This is what happens. If my sg2 skyrocket is off and i plug it in to charge this screen comezs up at the very top it says Factory mode in red
Custom binarydownload: no
Current binary: samsung offical
Then it has the android guy
Then it says Downloading
Dont turn off target.
No my phone isnt rooted i just got it a couple of days ago. I just was wanting to know if anyone else has experienced this. Thanks for any help you can give me

It's used to flash custom operating systems (roms), kernels, etc. You should take it back to store if you just got it a couple days ago and get a replacement.
Bring your cable with you so they can test at the store if it's the cable causing it to go into download mode or if the phone itself is the problem. At any rate, you paid too much money to have a buggy phone and if this is happening there are likely other problems with your device. Replace it.
Thanks everyone for the input. it wound up being a detective cable causing the issue i was having.

I know this is old, buy WHAT! Defective cable. Damn there are some people who would have bought that lol
What I mean is that cord.....defective or not for charging...it is pretty much a jig. It is what people use to recover their phones when they have bricked them (funnily enough "bricked" is no longer bricked anymore....hmm I wonder how many people threw out phones thinking they could never work again?)

I'm thinking it was a cable for factory use in development at Samsung and got packaged up by mistake.
EDIT: Also wanted to add, "bricked" is still "bricked". It's just that people "soft-brick" and think it's a brick, when usually it's just a boot loop. Hard bricks do happen, unfortunately...

Alright soooo today I hard bricked my nexus s 4g on purpose jjust to see if I could unbrick. Well I managed to hard brick no boot loop or even lights turned on or anything. I plugged it in and my computer wouldn't recognize for obvious reasons and then my dad grabbed my phone to move it for a min while plugged in and I don't know what buttons he pushed but it got into download mode. But not regular download mode. It was Andy with a jackhammer and triangle...has anybody else gotten this?

Is anyone working on a ICS ROM for Droid Charge?
From the looks of it, no. Just root it and take control of what you want out of your phone. If you are still on froyo, get gingy. Either ota or try a rom here.

thats cray! You would think Samsung would follow HTC but I dont think Samsung really cares about software. They only care about hardware (which I love). HTC on the other hand cares about software and the user experience than their hardware (HTC got some ugly phones). My next phone will prob be HTC since Samsung really doesn't care about our experience with this phone(and TBH I loved sense).

Oh I'm not complaining or turning things negative, just making sure I got the idea of the thread. I'm at work so I skimmed it real fast and didn't read all the pages. 600 for a new phone vs mailing a brick out is good.

Well, it makes no sense, if the chip is fried, then why does it give the error code? The phone can't turn on or do anything when the chip is fried. As there is nothing to make the phone boot or even process, there is no power supply.

Because there is always going to be people that don't bother to do any research and buy it thinking it is a quick solution for the last time they didn't do any research (and hard bricked their phone).
There is an App on the market (play store) that claims to turn your phone into a solar panel so it can charge itself through sunlight. The Dev of this app clearly sates that it is a joke and just put there for idiots that don't know better. It doesn't take very long reading the App reviews to see that there are plenty of idiots around. Most get it, however, there are several that actually think that it is supposed to charge their phones even after the Dev's confession.
So yea, that is why.

Well, I know this has been discussed before, but I didn't find a solution for it. I recently acquired a GSII Skyrocket from a friend. He said it suddenly stopped working- he's pretty wealthy so he just bought an iPhone and gave this thing to me. I'm a Droid Charge user so I'm not new to Samsung devices, but this kind of stumps me.
Anyway when I try to power it on all I get is a pulse vibrate. You can see what happens here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kYFc7IMU0pg&feature=youtube_gdata_player
Any suggestions? Do I have to send it in to get it JTAG'd? I'd really like to get this fixed so I can sell it.

Looks to have signs of life, somewhat, so I wouldn't think it's bricked. I would say maybe a stuck power button. Try cleaning it out.
Otherwise, try using Odin to return to stock.. you can find a sticky by vincom here with all the info you'll need.
There may be options between my 2 ideas someone else may give, i'm sure someone can get you pointed in the right direction if nothing I said does. Good luck.
Edit: Oh, also, the jig won't help.

the speed of the reboot seems more like a stuck power button like btm fdr said but odin to stock would be a good idea just don't mess up with odin because that can brick .
EDIT: from with in odin I can't remember if it's volume up or down but you can tell it to reboot normally. that would tell you if you need to odin it back to stock.

its a stuck "sticky" power button, if it is then odin wont work since it wont stay on long enough and useless since its a hw problem
test: when you remove then reinsert bat and the phone turns on, then if it takes approx 10 sec's to turn off and vibrate then its for sure a power button problem, its stuck
The device does exactly as seen in the video. I'd say it's shorter than 10 seconds, I can't get it to stay in download mode. The power button still "clicks" if that counts for anything.

You sir, should be what every user in the forum strives to be. A video to show us what's going on, info on the history of the device, and a willingness to fix it yourself.
I agree with everyone saying stuck power button. It's been a rampant problem for this device. Do you have any compressed air? If so, spray that stuff all around that power button. If not, examine the hardware around it and see if you can see any noticeable particles or lint which could be obstructing or jamming the button. If not, out it back together and mash the hell out of the button itself to see if you can un-jam it. If it still doesn't work, try sending it to Samsung for repair. Probably won't cost you as much as you'll sell the device for once it's fixed. Most seem to be getting around $200 for their rockets around here, depending on your region.
Good luck!
I got it! I ended up dousing the hell out of the board in 100% Isopropyl and smashing the sh!t out of the power button. Thanks a lot you guys!

Don't smash the button next time, use a dental pick.

You know, I always thought one of those would always be handy, but I never know where to pick one up. One that won't break in 10 seconds, at least.
