First: MWFRELS: Your issue is not the same thing that the rest us us in this thread are talking about. You are throwing out all kinds of different battery level numbers. The only number we are concerned with in this thread is... 100%
Second: I bought my Skyrocket on the 21st. I brought it home, opened the box and was instantly unimpressed with the length and flimsiness of the charge cable. I immediately ordered 2 high quality MediaNet 6' MicroUSB cables and an OtterBox Commuter case. I then spent a week waiting while using the normal routine I have used for a couple of years. I have a Belkin dual port charger by my bed. 2amp, 1amp per port. I charge both my phone and my 64G iTouch overnight while I sleep. Everything was fine for a week until the cables arrived. First night on the much nicer, heavier, and most importantly.... longer MediaNet cable, I awoke to the 100% battery stuck issue. The next three nights in a row resulted in the same thing. Last night, I switched back to the stock cable. This morning... no 100% battery stuck issue. I only have one day of testing to base this opinion on but FOR ME... the issue appears to be what cable I use and has nothing to do with the charger
(theory disproved, definitely a combination of the two). I did absolutely nothing else... no pulling batteries, no change in software. The phone is completely 100% stock with the apps I pretty much installed all during the first two days of owning the thing. The only thing that changed... was the cable.
This is my composite testing chart.
It containing results from all posts that follow.

All testing done with Belkin dual port charger, 1amp per port, charged overnight for about 8 hours:
12/27/11 - 3' AT&T Zero Charge Cable/Belkin Dual Port 1a/port charger - No problems to date
12/28/11 - 6' MediaNet Cable/Belkin Dual Port 1a/port charger - Stuck battery indicator - first time
12/29/11 - 6' MediaNet Cable/Belkin Dual Port 1a/port charger - Stuck battery indicator
12/30/11 - 6' MediaNet Cable/Belkin Dual Port 1a/port charger - Stuck battery indicator
12/31/11 - 3' AT&T Zero Charge Cable/Belkin Dual Port 1a/port charger - No problem
01/01/12 - 3' AT&T Zero Charge Cable/Belkin Dual Port 1a/port charger - No problem
01/02/12 - 6' MediaNet Cable/Belkin Dual Port 1a/port charger - Stuck battery indicator
01/03/12 - 3' OEM Cable/Belkin Dual Port 1a/port charger - Stuck battery indicator (8:45)
The end of testing with this specific Belkin charger tells me I get very consistent, predictable results with three different cables. Only one of the three cables (AT&T ZERO Charger) charges properly with this charge block. My initial results tell me it's not a matter of one or the other (block/cable) but a combination of the two.

01/01/12 - It appears that the cable I have been using since buying the phone which does NOT result in the stuck indicator issue is the aftermarket cable I bought from AT&T for $9.99. It's part of their ZERO Charger system. It has the little black tag on it which says "Charge only Cable." So, I have apparently never used the OEM cable. Chart revised
01/05/12 - I discovered, in another thread concerning USB data connections, that the aftermarket, AT&T ZERO Charger cable I have been testing (along with two others) which has NEVER resulted in a stuck battery indicator, is marked as a "Charge only Cable" on its little black tag. It does NOT work for data connections but reliably charges the phone without the issue at hand... so far.
01/07/12 - Doesn't seem to be much point continuing with the HTC charge block tests. All three cables charged the phone reliably once. In the interest of expediting other charger testing, I'm moving on to the OEM charger tonight. I may come back to chargers that only got one test per cable later, but my first try at multiple tests of individual cables yielded consistent results. One specific cable never performed differently a second or third time.
01/08/12 - The $64,000 Question. OEM charger, OEM cable, no stuck battery indicator (for me). The OEM cable has performed fine on 2 out of three charge blocks I have tried so so far. The only one it didn't like was the Belkin, but the Belkin was fine with the Charge Only, AT&T aftermarket cable.
01/12/12 - Starting testing of a Scosche reVIVE II (USBH3) Dual port (1a/2.1a). The 2.1a port is for charging iPads which I don't own. Should be interesting. I bought this for my son after I gave him a 64G iTouch so he could charge his phone and iTouch at the same time like I do with my favorite little Belkins. I never gave it to him out of concern over the 2.1a port. The thing had great reviews when I bought it, now everyone is screaming mad. There are allegations that it doesn't meet certain standards and they all seem to drop dead within a couple of months. Great stuff to test with I won't be using the 2.1a port.

This cable with this little black tag saying "Charge only Cable" and marked "AT&T" on the full sized connector does NOT work for USB data connections. Beware. It does, however, faithfully charge the phone on every charger I have tested without triggering the stuck battery indicator issue. This includes one charger that won't properly charge with any other cable.
