try turning device off and charging? maybe should flash back to trustable rom/state so you dont have this issue again :/

it wont charge on or off..the only 2 roms i have on my phone are cm 10.1 and jellybean goodness..i tried to go back to stock using odin but my laptop hasnt recognized my phone for a very long time..lol..months now..so that was a no go..idk how to restore with the nv backup either..should i try flashing another rom?..do roms give battery issues like this?

Left the phone to charge all night turn it on and it charged fine but I'm guessing is the Rom since this is the second Time it happens will try with stock rom and see what happens I thought the phone died on me :)

my phone is now charging..i just tried a unviersal charger that i use to use for my esteem and its charging now..i was reading on the net that it could be a problem with the usb cable or the charger..even though it can charge a different phone..dosent really make sense..but its charging for now :D

Ok good deal we are back up and running but something is up with that I'm guessing somewhere along the lines of the charging settings within the rom who knows right now I'm in stock just to test my theory will let it die and recharge again to see what happens hopefully it will charge but your problem and mines were different weird
