Skyrocket charging / battery problem? - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727

OK my skyrocket vis having a problem I've never seen before. It doesn't fully charge. I'll leave it on the charger over night and it will stay on 20% and never goes past it. I tired different batteries, chargers even those separate battery chargers. I tired different ROMs still no luck. Also tired returning to stock but I get stuck at loop.

How's the battery drain when you unplug? Does it sit at 20% for, well, hours on end, or does it start dropping to 19% within an hour or so?
I'm wondering if it's just your battery meter glitching out, not so much the batteries themselves. Tried wiping the battery stats yet?

I'm thinking the same tj software I say try going back to stock again but this time follow the guide step by step

It starts to drop normally but gets to one percent and last about 30 minutes.

This. Go to stock, root, then wipe battery stats. Charge the battery to 100% with phone off then leave it for another 30 mins. Turn the phone on and use the Battery Calibration app (rooted) to start the calibration, then use the phone normally and take it all the way down to 0%. Repeat with the other two batteries before switching off of stock. That should go a long way towards solving the problem.

Stuff
I went to GB stock, charged with phone off for over 8 hours, says only 30 percent life. The charger i used is OEM samsung and works fine with my other phone

Dunno take it back

charging problems

I have a rooted skyrocket running stock rom and when I am charging and using it at the same time the touch screen goes crazy. Has anyone experienced this and what can I do to fix it?
Like it'll lag to unlock? Or get stuck/freeze on the lockscreen?

I'll be scrolling website and it will select instead of scroll or be brousing through photos and instead of going to the next pic the current one will zoom. When I'm typing a email or text it puts the wrong lettoer up or don't space. The screen just does crazy things.
It only does it when its charging because when I unplug it the crazyness stops
Same here. My phone has a mind of its own when charging. Off the charge and its fine..

What's your point? Most phones last way shorter than that. Be lucky that it lasted that long! Unless you have a maxx or somethine, this is really good battery life.
If you're not satisfied with the battery life order an extended battery, I just got my Anker 4400mah battery today and so far I'm loving it! The extra bulk actually makes it easier to hold and use the phone.

I had a maxx so maybe I'm used to that. My last phone was a razr hd. Here is right now with 18 min.screen time. While sending this it has dropped to 68. If this is normal let me know. I may have to go back to razr hd. I'm on stock but thinking about cyanogen.

What's your screen brightness level? You can't have it at 60-100% plus all the crap I see is running and expect out of this world battery life. A ROM change isn't going to help you there.
EDIT: Look at your awake time compared to your screen on time, whatever all those apps you have running are, they're eating up your battery, check mine out below. You really need to stop a lot of that stuff from running all the time, your battery life will increase exponentially.

Something is draining your battery, like mentioned maybe rogue app, like wolf put it best.try rescan media, it'll help.I have a 2200mah anker battery.vs stock.I run plenty of apps no power saver options on.
Also no I don't do bump charging, this is off one straight charge

All that red in your signal line really kills the battery too. The phone is constantly pinging looking for a signal that but can't find. At least is my non-technical understanding.
A new radio may help. Or putting the phone in airplane mode when you are in a bad area

Why did you charge so many times? Running the battery down most of the way then fully charging tends to keep your batteries stronger longer.

It could have fallen victim to the infamous "sudden death" syndrome. If so, it should be replaceable under warranty. Call/visit verizon to find out.

Pretty sure the screen of death syndrome was limited to phones with the exynos processor.... We're not effected.

From what the issue seems to be with these completely dying, why wouldnt they replace it? Its toast so unless they spend all the time and tear it apart to try and fix it, they would just send him a new one, or go into Verizon (if you got it through them) and have them do it

its awfully hard to get help when you dont provide all the information for people who might want to help you...or any information for that matter.
You can JTAG for 65$ I think and yes Verizon would also replace it for you with a refurbished one.

I just got the set of 2300mah batteries. The shipping was super fast and they were well packaged. They come with a wall charger that also has USB power outlet. I forgot to check the specs on the charger before I left.
I'm charging one of them up right now and I'll get the 2nd going after work today. The directions state the need to initially charge it for at least 12 hours. That seems a bit excessive. Zerolemon also says that you'll need to do 5 charge/discharge cycles before optimum performance.
The only odd thing I noticed is that they recommended discharging fully every time. Everything I've read states that you shouldn't do that with Lithium-Ion.

Charging problems

As the title says my phone isn't charging properly. I know it's not the charger itself because my gf uses it also and it works just fine for her. I've bought a new battery and it hasn't made a difference either. My phone this morning after 4 hrs in the charger has only gone up 5% this problem has been going on for weeks now. Im hoping someone here has an idea what's wrong.

Last thing it could be is a hardware issue, either a bad connection or somethings wrong with the charging connection to the battery.
Could also be a bad USB cable, if it's going bad it won't hold a good connection very well.
If you're out of warranty then your best option would be to buy a external battery charger and an extra battery, not ideal, but at least you'll have a way to use your phone.

I know, so it isn't a problem with your battery or charger or USB cable, then it has to be your phone, but it's impossible to know for sure what's wrong. You might be able to fix it by replacing the charging port, or it could be a bad connection from the charging port to the motherboard, or it might be a bad connection from your battery to your charging prongs...
Could be a number of issues. If you're under warranty still then send it in to Samsung, if you're out of warranty then search around and see if you can get it repaired for a reasonable price, swapping batteries will also work for the meantime.
