Hi to all!
I have this phone about 4 months now, and the phone sometimes wont charge when I plug it in. Also, sometimes when fully charged, it freezes and I need to pull the battery out and restart it. I could not charge it last night and when I turned the phone off and re-inserted the charger plug it charged normally (apart from phone being off).
I have taken it to the dealership service since it could not connect to the wifi and drained battery really fast after that and they changed the usb socket and reinstalled the software. The phone passed all their tests, and it connects to the wifi flawless now, but this charging issue is really bugging me. I almost overslept one day not knowing that the darn thing has frozen.
The phone has all the stock firmware and the OS is 2.3.5.
Any help appreciated..

It's your cable mate i had the same problem the cable LG gave us is cheap you need to buy a good usb cable. I use my Htc desires cable not only does it fit it is stably connected and doesnt move about in the socket i use the lg plug of course but the htc desire cable... Sorted..
Before i used my htc cable my charging always got stuck and i would have to pull the battery now i don't have to do that.. Also the lg cable damages the usb socket on your phone quickly i suggest get a cable if it does that then have it fixed and never use the LG cable again...
Really?!
That is really good news than!
My wife has Galaxy Ace and I did use her charger several times in the past and I had partial success with it, sometimes it would charge, sometimes not, but I never tried it after servicing the phone.
I will try it, thanks for the reply...

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
Hello, recently I'm having a problem with my Galaxy Core with charging!
This occurs randomly, few times only! Not always:
When I plug in the charger, as usual, it shows battery charging! Even after charging one hour, when charger is unplugged, the battery meter doesn't increase! I've tried restarting, cooling down battery, charging again, and it charged normally 100%. So, basically it does not bother me much, but just wanna know if this happens to anybody else, and as, I think, its a hardware problem, so I worry about it?
Another thing is if I connect my APACER B120 Mobile Bank, the phone doesn't charge, does not even show its plugged in. Other phones charges perfectly, even with the same cable. Has anyone tried charging with this, or any portable charger? Thanks!
sound like hardware problem man
Make sure your usb cable is working and use the cable you got with the phone.

I have only one cable, and it is the one I got with the phone. Cable works fine even on Tether/ReverseTether!
Am having problems charging my nexus 5 since last night.
I reflashed the Kitkat 4.4.4 rom on my nexus 5 from lollipop after i couldn't stand the ram issue lollipop having.
The following night my battery was at 20% and i left it charge overnight and i woke up finding before going work, found that the battery was still charging at 20% .
I tried with the original charger plug and cable and also wireless charging qi nothing charges and phone is losing percentage and have to keep using from the mains to keep the phone on.
When i use the usb cable or qi charger it says charging on screen then it goes not charging.
I tried re flashing 4.4.4 cleared the cache and tried different usb cables and wall plugs the problem still persists.
I replaced the battery beginning of March this year after i had this phone since launch day and new battery was fine.
I believe its either hardware or software problem causing this.
Please any advice or methods i can do to solve this problem would be nice.

That really narrows it down
Did you try charging when the phone is off?
It shouldn't be hardware if all you did was downgrade. The boot loader shouldn't influence it

Yes i have tried charging the phone while the phone was switched off for an hour but it shows battery icon empty and still charging
I'm facing this problem right now. Did you figure it what was wrong and fix it?
Is it possible that there is a loose connection inside the phone? Is the phone recognized when connected to a computer? Maybe a damaged USB port, cable, or charger?
The phone one day stopped charging, when i plug the charger it doesn't seem to recognize it, but when it is turned off and i plug it it starts charging but really slow (3 hours= 10%) and if i unplug it afterwards the screen still shows as if it is charging, if i turn the phone on while plugged in the phone says it is charging but again, really slow, if i use the phone while it is "charging" it discharges and when i unplug it, it still shows as if it is charging, NOW if i turn the phone on while unplugged it doesn't recognize the charger, also, i have tried to plug it to the PC but the PC doesn't recognize it either, the PC did play the sound of something being plugged when i entered in boot mode in the phone, i have already flashed another ROM and installed a different kernel, it doesn't seem to work, i have also disassembled the USB port (which is very easy on this phone) and nothing... Do you think it is a hardware problem? or more like a software bug/problem?
Please help, Im kinda new to XDA so sorry if i have problems with the redaction of the problem im having.
I'm also having issues with the port, but it does seem different than yours. For me the connector is just broken. Some cables still work (barely), other don't work anymore at all. Did you try with different cables?

solution to usb port
steps:-
1. switch off the device
2. charge it with a fast charges or the power charger then
3. unplug that cahrger and use your moto charger and left it untill it become 100% charge
it might take alonger time about 8-9 hrs
4. then switch on your phone
