I have had a skyrocket since it was first released and this problem just started occurring this morning.
The problem:
Battery is at 70%
Plug into charger and less than 1 minute it says "100% unplug from charger"
I unplug, it says 70%
Plug into usb port on PC and less than 1 minute it says "100% unplug from charger"
I unplug, and it says 70%.
Shut phone down to off position (little green battery that comes up to show charging shows about 70%, then jumps to 100% a few seconds later.) Because it does this when the phone is completely off, I do not believe it is the ROM. The battery charging must be controlled by some low level firmware.
I know the battery is probably around 70% based on how long it has been of the charger, but now I have no way to charge it because when I plug it in, it will not charge.
Anyone know a solution to this? Please Help.
I am running Smooth ICE ROM based of leaked ICS, But I have been doing that for almost a month with no problems.
Thanks!
Do you have another battery to try?
Yes, both batteries do the same thing
How about another usb cable?
Tried three different ones and two different AC chargers. Any other ideas?

May be hardware..
Probably won't do anything, but did you try deleting battery stats? Wipe cache, dalvik cache?
Could wipe everything and restore a nandroid.
I'm just throwing random ideas out that probably won't work.

I installed CM 7.1 a few days ago and since then my phone has problem charging using the usb cable. When charging thru usb to pc or usb to wall charger, it indicated charging but battery kept draining slowly.
Then I tried a few other roms, including insertcoin 4.4.4, 4.4.6 and ARHD 6.2.1 and the problem persist, even with brightness at ~30%, wifi off. I checked the running apps and it has only a few apps running.
Does any one have the same problem? Can someone help me with this? Thanks.
Edited:
Forgot to mention, when the phone was charging, sometime i would get message "Unable to charge, phone is using more current than the USB cable can deliver. Please turn off phone and close unused apps." when i wasn't using the phone at all.

Do you have another usb cable to try?
If that doesn't work you need to make sure you have the most recent CWR installed, I think the recent one is blue in text. Just go to the Rom Manager app and see if you have the most current recovery flashed onto your phone.
I had this same problem on my old desire with cheap cables bought off ebay. Bought some genuine HTC ones and solved the problem straight away.

My cable is the original HTC cable and I tried another cable from Nokia. Same problem. I have a stock 1520 battery and a 1800 cheap battery i bought from ebay. I think my recovery is the most current one, which is 4EX touch.
Is my battery just bad? I realized sometimes it charged up 1~2 % and then started draining.
Overheating
Hi,
I had a similar problem, the phone was plugged but not charging. It was because of a overheating of the battery. In the battery info page, instead of charging it said overheating. I unplugged it, let it cool down, plugged it again and it was charging.
my battery status never said overheating. it indicates charging but the battery level drops. I also realize sometimes the battery level stayed the same for quite a long while but sometimes it drops pretty rapidly. has my battery gone bad or just the rom? any one got an idea?
okay, now i am using Battery Monitor Widget and found that either charging through PC usb or wall charger, the maximum charging current is about 120 mAh. As far as i know, wall charger should be charging at 1000 mAh and pc at 500 mAh.
Can someone tell me what's wrong? and how i can fix it?
Thanks!

You've tried a different cable, so try another charger. If this doesn't fix it then you should try flashing firmware and ROM back to stock and see if the problem persists, if it does then it is probably a hardware fault.
battery level weirdness sensation xe stock ics
I have an issue where the indicated battery level keeps dropping even when the phone is on charge with the original HTC wall charger. I have also tried another wall charger- same outcome. Also getting the message that current draw exceeds charging current. Once or twice phone has shut down due to low battery. But here's the weirdness....I take the battery out, put it back in and 'hey presto' the battery level is fine. It seems the phone only 'thinks' the battery is not charing, but it is. Any ideas as to a solution would be appreciated.
I also have the same problem with HTC Incredible S fake charging pls help thx

Ive been using my s3 for about 40 minutes on CM10. Plugged into a dual usb charger connected to not ip port, which in the past i have used fine. I have lost 5% battery in this time. Current widget doesn't work yet with S3. Suggestions?
Edit - The first time I got the phone after a full charge and discharge, while plugged into stock charger and before anything root, the same problem happened.

From what I heard, the charger can't charge the phone fast enough when you are using it thus the losing charge while plugging in. If you are talking about losing percentage right after you disconnect the phone from the charger, that is a feature, I do not know at the top of my head why it does it.
If charging through USB port (and many car chargers) you're capped at 500mA vs 700+ for wall chargers. You can install a kernel that supports fast charging and you will get 700mA through USB.

I'm having the same issue whether charging from usb or a power outlet. Charges for a bit initially, then drains. Happens with different cords, too. I'll pick it up and it will feel warm, see that the battery is lower than when I plugged it in, then put it down. Then it cools off and starts charging again. Any ideas?
Same here except
i have the same issue, i had stock Touchwiz and suddenly the phone started to discharge while on charging outlet, tried different chargers, outlets, different ports, etc. still wouldnt work, i even deleted several applications and turned off several phone functions, etc. still nothing, then i rooted to CM10.1 and the same issue still presists, the phone charges a bit then discharges weather i use it or not. the only solution to charge it, it seems to be by turning off the phone. i think it has to do with the usb port on the phone as i even had the battery changed and it still would discharge while on a charger.
S3 Battery Decreasing while charging SOLVED !!
Hey i have 100% Solution of this with this you will your battery life !
i got same problem too but i solved now i'm happy
this is so easy , for all samsung phones and android phones !
Just install battery doctor (cheetah Software) from play store
optimize your phone and then charge
your phone will charge fastly !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
with this your battery life will also increased !!
Sometimes (no pattern) the note charges very very slowly: in 4 hours this morning, for example, has increased of only 15%.
You can tell cos the charger is not hot.
Is it a charger/cable/connector problem?
Do you see a little red "X" over the battery when this happens? i believe unless you use one of the Samsung chargers it won't charge at full speed but will still trickle charge slowly. I've also found that even with the Samsung charger when I used a really long USB cord I wasn't getting full speed charging, so a long or bad cord can be an issue.

No red X, original cable and charger... To solve I have to unplug e replug couple of times
Same here
When I connect the Note 10.1 to my Computer or last time I tried to connect to car charger it gives a red cross. Why does this keep happening ??
My note 10.1 just started charging slowly noticeably.
I used an app called Galaxy Charging Current, and sure enough, the status shows that it is charging at 1amp, instead of the nominal 2amps.
This is on the original charger and cable.
I recommend everyone to check out the app called Galaxy Charging Current.

The red X is difefrent: you cannot charge the note 10.1 with a usb cable or in car with a 1 Amp adaptor, it needs 2
Opinion
My GT-N8000 from original ICS 4.0.4 until now using XXCMI2 DBT Deodexed sometimes too long for charging ( charge always at power off mode ). sometimes 5-6 hours and it still not full 100%. It'll be full 100% if unplug and replug again and wait at least 1 or 2 hours. after long time experiment, My conclusion when charge at power off from 35% or below, It will be 5-6 hours charge and not full but charge at 60% power off mode charge it will be full 100% charged just 2-3 hours. that's very strange. at power on never got this problem, always 100% full.
All accessories, charger and cable data were original.
Any Opinion???
Thanks

could be the ROM you are using. Did this happen when you were stock? I know on my HTC one there were a few roms that I would have to plug the USB in three of four times just to get it to work correctly. Then I changed roms and BOOM works perfect again.
@Tiltmfc
For Me that happen on stock ROM too, coz when I purchase this N8000 at special price on 1st day launch in Indonesia, I must wait until root feature available at least 2-3 month and I always charge at OFF condition and almost rare at ON mode. at official ICS at OFF always like this, real real long to be fully charged when start charge at 30% and Don't know when reach 100% if I don't unplug the charger cable at least once.

I had the same problem previously. Solved by getting a new charger (whole set including the cable)! One hour charging = >15% increase
Cool
Wow Cool, maybe charger problem. For Now I've never charge my N8000 below 60% at OFF Mode. always taking 3 hours charging time to 100%.
Thanks for sharing.
Yep I'd agree that it sounds like your charger or wire is on its way out. I had a similar issue with my S3, changed charger - problem fixed
Samsung 10.1 Note N8000 charging slow
I have one from early 2013. The issue is that during the charging process, sediments get deposited both on the plug and the socket. This over a period of time reduces the contact between male and female parts contributing to slow charging.
In a post, some one mentioned that his friends charger worked on his tablet and his charger did the job for his friend. Some one was able to fix the issue with a new charger. The fact is, any change that reduces the sedimentary issue thus enhancing contact will work better.
I took an obsolete tooth brush cleaned the plug and then held the phone's socket down while cleaning that as well. Vila, my charging speed has improved.
Samsung had a proprietary cable for 2013 and later they replaced it with micro USB in 2014. The sediment issue is not as pronounced as in other mobiles which use different cable type. In N8000, the current in DC o/p is also high at 2A which may be causing this problem.
As title states, replaced everything yet phone refuses to charge or connect to a PC 99% of the time.
I have tried ...
Different outlets
Multiple working android chargers and USB cables
Multiple computers and usb ports
Different batteries
2 OEM batteries
Phone stopped charging one random night, plugged into charger, slept, woke up, phone died and never turned on.
I have been charging my battery through my friends old phone then swapping my battery into my own skyrocket, which turns on so I know the phone works.
For the 1% time that it does charge, I have no idea what happens, but I see that it charges and for ~5 minutes. At this point I don't move or touch the phone at all, I just let it lay there. And after ~5 minutes it stops charging again. (I know it starts/stops because of the tiny buzz it makes)
Anyone have any ideas? Also I am not running a stock rom, not sure if that matters but will try to flash a stock rom soon.

First you have to check carefully the battery, does it an original one? Because out there most of the battery for Skyrocket are fake, moreover, battery for our device is the same as Samsung Galaxy S2 HD for korea market. (On our battey, you'll se 4 pins: 3 for battery and 1 for NFC antenna. While the others just have 3 pins)
Flash stock rom using Odin and check again. If it can charge or not
Plug to a computer and check if it charge or not
If all above are failed, possibly the chip which manager charging in your phone is dead and have to replace.
Goodluck
For the past 3 months my tablet has been struggling to charge.
I would plug it in, it would show the charging icon on the battery, but it won't charge. Sometimes it will INCREDIBLY slowly. Other times (most of the time) the charging percentage will decrease while its plugged into a charged.
I have tried:
1.Soft reset
2.Hard reset
3.Removing micro sd card
4.Different (original) lead
5.Different (original charger (3 in total)
6.Opening it up and disconnecting the battery terminal for 5 mins
7.Holding down power while battery disconnected
8.Connecting the charger FIRST before connecting the other end to the mains.
Im getting nowhere. Currently its on 1% and just wont charge.
To me it could be the charging port or the battery. How do i determine (without spending heaps on a battery) what to replace first?. Is there anyone else with this problem?.
Thanks
Just now i plugged it in charge. The tablet is off as its on 0%. It took 30 mins to get to 4%, then it went back down to 0% instantly.
But like i say, when it DOES have a charge, the charge is usually decreasing as the charger is plugged in, till it reaches 0%!. Only sometimes very randomly and very rarely will it actually charge properly, and when it does it operates perfectly with it OFF the charger. So it doesn't drain dramatically off the charger.
Right now im struggling to even get a charge out of it now.
Can someone help? charging port or battery fault??

Its on 30% now, creeping up slowly. So strange.
Have you seen any other cases the same to say it is the battery?

When a device charges strangely fast or agonizingly slow, it's typically the battery, also, randomly discharging fast is also a sign.
You could always have a repair take a look with a voltmeter, testing the battery and the USB port/charging components. Or you could do it yourself.
Sometimes it's just the solder working loose on some of the pins from your USB port, you can do a reflow on those solder points.
