Phone not charging - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

Title says it all. Phone No longer charges. Stays at 0% no matter how long I let it charge. It charged fine yesterday. However I did notice that over time, charging got slower and slower. Eventually it got to the point where it drains faster than it charges. Also, my battery life is crap. I use the phone for 10 minutes and battery goes down 20%. I'm running AOKP Milestone 6. Any help would be nice

charging times

So, I'm wondering if my battery is messed up. It seems to charge from near dead to full in roughly 90 minutes (depending on whether I'm using it or not). Is this typical?
I ask because I feel as though people talk about their phones lasting much longer than mine does, and it makes me think I may have a defective battery.
Do other people experience this short charge time?
I had an Incredible before this, with a smaller capacity battery, and with the quick charge implementation it would still take slightly longer to charge to 100%.
Running Winner00 CM9 kang, with Franko kernel 17.2
Thoughts? Ideas? Suggestions?
All greatly appreciated.
Thanks
How is your battery lasting during normal operation?
It doesnt matter how long it takes to charge if it behaves normal in everyday use.
Mines does the same thing it'll be nearly dead(4%) and will be charged to 100% in about 2 hours. The weird thing is that my battery life is still pretty good(averaging 12-14 hours of usage with 4-6 hours of on screen time and no wifi), just kinda strange when I first received the phone it took longer to charge.

It's completely normal to have the phone charge that fast. It is the way Li-Ion batteries work. They have a super charge state where the battery charges itself in minutes from 0% to approx. 85% and then starts to trickle charge the rest of the way. This is to ensure that the battery doesn't die from all the rapid charging.
I probably get about 2 hours of screen on with wifi, and usually im on a very good wifi connection.
it often seems im down 40-60% within 2-3 hours of light use: texts, checking the time, nothing major.
Maybe I'm expecting to much from this.
My Dinc used last a lot longer it seemed.
And yes,i generally keep 4g off

T989 Battery Spazzing Out

My phone just started to do this about a week ago.
I tried reflashing, wiping cache/data, factory reset- nothing.
Whenever I charge, it will either charge significantly slow, or say charging but the percentage just goes down as if it wasn't even charging in the first place.
So I powered off for the entire night, (8-9 hours) and it will say fully charged. And I keep it connected to the charger but when I take a look at the phone again about 15 min later it reads 83% battery and charging.
I was really annoyed so I just left my phone on the charger again while I took a power nap (1-2 Hours) and after that I take a look and now it reads 68%.
The other day I saw it was fully charged so I took it off the charger and went on with my day. After, not even about 8 hours, it was already 10%.
It's like it only charges normally when the phone is shut off. Do I just need to replace the battery? Or is it something with the phone that drains the battery so quickly? I've already ordered a replacement extended battery off of Amazon just in case.
Most likely your battery. Go into battery stats and see whats apps are having high usage. Or download Gsam.

Im pretty sure its the battery now, the stats are normal and it doesn't seem like one process is hogging all the cpu. Can't wait for my extended battery next week, i cant last a week more with this annoying battery issue. Any suggestions for now?

Battery Problem?

One night my phone was dying so plugged the charger up at 1% but even with the charger in it went to 0 then cut off. no "powering down" pop up like normal so i went to bed and let it charge. when i woke the next day after about 8 hours it was on 76%! normally it would have been fully charged. Now its really long to charge. Can someone help and tell me what's going on?

Is there any app loading in the background? Strange though...
what ROM and setups are you using ?? some of the 4.2.2 roms charge really slow and if you are not using the charger that came with the phone than it would take longer
I'm using Cm 10.1 normal settings. I haven't been using the charger that came with the phone ever. It started acting only after it shut off at 0%

its not recommended using other chargers it sounds like you are not getting enough juice from that charger/wire..... but if you are make sure your battery never dies because the more it dies the more strain you are putting on that battery also you will be better off using the usb wire and a computer to charge are you familiar with FAST CHARGE ??? i would suggest getting another charger
Edit: i have a nexus 7 and i had your problem before i have an after market 10 foot usb wire to charge my phone but when you are using it or there is an app that is draining it it will not charge because there is not enough power coming from the wire but if i use my factory charger for the nexus all is good on low battery and it charges so yeah ... just an fyi
also ive noticed that with some kernels that the battery charges faster
but just play around with different roms or just get a new stock charger
If u are using AOCP with stock kernel, idk why but it has ridiculous slow charge. Install a different kernel and you should be fine

Battery charging bug

I meant to post the other day about a possible bug causing some bad battery life. My battery at first want great at all. So I decided to drain the battery and charge fresh. At 4% I cut the phone off and plugged in. At 25%I turned the phone on but when it booted it said 51%even though I just looked at it saying 25%. I continued to charge to 100% and used the phone with not so good results.on top of this I had the (nlpcollectorwakelock)issue. So I reset the phone let the battery drain to 5%and turned off the phone and let it chargeto 100% while off. Ever since I have got over 5hours screen on time a opposed to the 3before. Just something for desperate users to try before giving up

First 7% battery goes like lightning after full charge...

very strange after that its completely fine its like the battery needs calibration. Any one else got this?
me too
Same here. Last a very long time, but the first 7% drops in 15 minutes.
glad its not just mine
I have been seeing the same thing.
Same here...
I think It's due to the charging cycle. Once fully charged it appears to stop charging and I have seen the battery level drop by a few percent before the charge is topped up. This is to preserve battery life. It therefore depends when you remove the watch as to how quick the first few percent drops
