Okay I've seen people already posting about these issues, but nothing ever seems to be figured out. Either the thread dies, or the person swapped it out. Well I'm not able to do that. So here we go.
I spent $20 on an I727 Galaxy S2 Skyrocket. The phone did not come with anything, but I have an S4 charger, and a Note 3 charger. So I figured wth I'll be fine in that department.
Anyway. The phone will not charge. It says "Charging paused temperature too high". If the phone is off, and I try to charge it, it shows a caution sign next to the battery.
When I got it, it was running some version of ICS. I flashed JB, but the problem is still there. Needless to say the cache partition has been wiped, and I have done a couple factory resets. If I'm not mistaken, these guys shipped with gingerbread. So if someone thinks that will help, I'll try it, but I don't want to use that old system.
So I looked into other fixes. I saw that a possibility is the charging ic. Is that located in the usb part, or the actual mainboard? I'm not good with soldering so I may be out $20 if that's the case.
So what do you guys think?
Also gonna add this. Phone was not In use for around two hours. I feel like that is waaaay too hot.

I wish someone had some input. anything, guys.
I called Samsung, and the device is out of warranty. So the repair cost is $70, in case anyone wants to take this route. I do not. They couldn't tell me what was wrong.

I'm guessing it's the battery. I'd try a different one if you can or buy one. They're not that expensive.

Thanks. I ordered one last night off Ebay (all the Amazon ones were in China). It's supposed to be here in 2 days.
Have you tried to charge it by using usb cable connected to a computer? I think it could be charger problem, both chargers for s4 and note 3 have higher output current。Try a different charger with lower output current eg 1A.

The phone itself will limit the charging current, unless overriden via custom kernel, and since he's flashed a different rom I'd have to rule that out. Hopefully it's just a bad battery as that would be the cheapest fix...

I have tried using my desktop's usb port. Same thing. The only way I can get this thing to partially charge is by wrapping it in a cold pack. It gets that hot. Obviously I leave the battery out now for fear of a fire. Should have my replacement battery on Thursday.
Let me just add this really quick; just from the little bit that I have used this little guy, I think I may actually like it more than my note 3 (AT&T). It's just so easy to customize. With the Note 3, I'm so limited in what I can do.
Got the battery today. The problem still exists. What's next?

just a suggestion
1. open the phone as best as you can (remove battery and sim,memory cards)
2. use a q tip and rubbing alcohol and wipe everything you see, do it a few times
3. wait for 5 minutes, put phone back together
4. see if it works if not try step 5
5. remove all items again and put phone into 2 freezer (sandwich bags). I would suggest leave in there for 2 hours
6. remove from freezer and let sit for 30-60 minutes at room temp to warm up
now try charging
if that fails you can go extreme and freeze the phone remove and try charging it right away
let us know what happens
it was probably water damaged and shorted some of the circuits inside
Will try that out tomorrow. Thanks for the advice. I will let you know how it goes.

Still planning on trying today, but life is getting in the way. I'll pull the mainboard and usb port completely, and rub em down. The screen is fine, so I see no reason to subject it to anything.
Edit: I also got a hold of a local repair shop, and all the guy said was "Hi, honestly it's not worth fixing, you are better off buying a new phone. since the value of S2s is pretty low." He obviously doesn't get that this is not my main driver, and I am doing this for the sake of knowledge and fun.
Okay. I did the alcohol thing, which made it able to charge while powered off. It used to not even do that. It's in the freezer now.

If you have the Super Amoled version, then you can use an all black desktop screen saver, switch your email/Facebook/weather syncs to a later time (2-6 hours instead of every 30 minutes), put the phone in 2g only mode when your not browsing the web or downloading apps, etc.

What the hell does this got to do with a 6 hour charge time ? As if the display is on all the time... or as if the syncing uses 10%+ off battery. It has nothing to do with this stuff, you're just not on the same page as the problem.
Try again with the original charger plugged into the wall socket, not into USB.

Could be a major detail that some might overlook. That'd for sure do it. I got rid of my OG few weeks ago n I'm still stock so I wouldn't know this, but doesn't the process only take like 10 seconds if that? The actual flashing that's taking place. So it'd have to be quite the odds to lose juice in the middle of flashing. But wouldn't it be charging if its plugged in usb? I hope that my man who posted this gets it powered back up. Would be a major bummer otherwise.

Just to make sure you read and followed all steps right? This one seemed crucial
**** IF YOU HAVE ANY PROGRAMS THAT SYNC WITH YOUR PHONE THEY NEED TO BE UNINSTALLED OR NOT RUNNING BECAUSE THEY CAN CAUSE BRICKS, Pdanet, easytether, droid explorer, kies, etc., etc., on down the line. I repeat if you have a program on your computer that syncs with your phone, it is NOT COOL TO HAVE THAT RUNNING! ****
Just trying to narrow down what the hell could cause the device not to power back up, also how long did you leave the device plugged before disconnecting or pulling the battery. Did oden stop responding or say anything other then rebooting ?

Or instead of paying shipping plus not having a phone for a week or so, you could file an insurance claim... Haha. Last I checked Asurion was still giving new phones due to lack of refurbs.
I had to run out quickly earlier to get a new sim for my Thunderbolt so I can have a phone to use in the meantime. The sim I had for it didn't work.
Some good suggestions. Thanks everyone. I'll have to ponder my options few as they are.

I had this happen on an HTC phone one-time. No joke, but to fix it, I think it ended up holding down power + volume down or up and then put the battery in. I tried a bunch of combinations like that until it booted. Same thing when taking the battery out. Does the red light show when the phone is plugged in?
What's up with my phone it used to charge fast and now it's taking long it's really aggravating. Anyone else having slow charge problems?

I have a SGH-T769 (Blaze Galaxy S 4G) and I have rooted and put a Cyanogen Mod ROM on it (Note screen shots please!)
Here is the problem:
No matter what battery I use in it (I've tried 3 different ones - all known good - relative term) but it will not charge past ~5-7% now. I've tried the battery calibration application - probably 4-5 times now.
I have wiped the ROM (in the recovery menu) three times. New, never been used SD card. So, it's a clean phone (unless someone has an idea of something that I missed)
The battery(s) work and can get to a full charge in other SGH-T769 devices (T-Mobile stock).
Any other ideas on how to remedy this? It's driving me nuts.
What am I missing?

If you charge a battery in another phone to 100% and put it in your phone what % does it display? Also I recommend you either use CM 10 (everything works) or CM 11 (newest) as 10.2 was never really developed for our phone.

As for the battery in another phone. It was my daughter's SGH-T769. She is able to charge this battery to 100%. I'll have to try that and see what happens.

Hey - I tried what you said - my battery - I took it and charged it in another phone until it was 100%. My phone says 0% and then after leaving it plugged in/charging for several hours (overnight) it only reached about 5%.
I have tried the wiping of the battery cache - twice.
If you know of any other tricks - I would be very appreciative.

Not sure why you've heard such things. Battery life is fine. If you see you start getting some strange drain, a restart fixes it. Only happens to me once every couple days. 5.1 will fix it for good. Also, I've had no issues with calls dropping so I'm not sure where you heard that.
As for data while on a call, that's VoLTE (voice over LTE) or HD Voice as Verizon calls it. If you're moving and are connected to a tower, but swap to a different tower that doesn't support it (very rare) the call will drop. If you're talking to someone while being stationary, you'll never have an issue. You can turn off HD Voice, but you won't be able to use data while on a call.

If storage becomes a issue there are quite a few options for a USB drive for the phone. I Googled "usb drive for phone" and came up with a ton of options. I usually use WIFI file transfer Pro to transfer files to and from my PC.

Do you want to carry around a USB OTG cable and flash drive or memory card everywhere you go, having to plug it in and out when wanting to access data on it?
I have had fine battery life. I also was worried so i bought one of the samsung wireless charges to sit on my desk. My phone - for the most part - sits on my desk anyway during the day. However i find myself rarely putting phone on there as there is no need. My phone easily lasts all day with normal use.
So I got the phone today and I'm in love. The build on mine is absolutely perfect. Everything is lined up perfect. No weird pink or yellow tint on the screen. I couldn't find a single scratch anywhere on the phone which was impossible to find with the HTC one. I literally looked at 6 htc ones at the Verizon store and they all had some scratch or something on the body of the phone. I can't believe how fast this phone is and I'm at 2 hours on screen time and I'm still at 60 percent battery. Does that seem pretty good? Only on first charge ever too. Been on wifi the whole time and I disabled lots of bloat ware.

How's my battery life looking?

We have confirmed root, so if you return the phone, I'd be confused as to why.
