Are you able to charge your phone while using this device (like a usb extender and charge it that way)?

My device has only one micro USB port which is also where you charge the device. I'm not sure if a splitter exists, however, I would be very uneasy about hooking this to anything that was trying to charge the device as well. I would fear that it might result in some sort of overload and damage the memory. I have been using mine a sort of external movie library and it works great for that.

If you have this plugged into both the phone and your computer at the same time, power is not transmitted to the phone. Additionally, it is only possible to access the data on the flash drive from the computer while both ends are connected.

I don't think that's possible. The device plugs into the same slot your charger goes. It's either one or the other. If there is a way, then maybe I could use it with my phone. I don't have OTG, someone told me my phone doesn't have enough power? I have a Droid Maxx

Yes you can charge both the device and phone at the same time. The charging device will take prority during charge if the phones battery is low.

it's a charger, it can be recharged... and yes you can use your phone while charging it.Problem with mine- i dropped it.. and it hasn't worked since - I loved it before that happened.

yes, you can......however I notice a buzzing sound when its plugged in. charging is so quick that keeping plugged in is unnecessary

No, you can't use the device while it is connected to your computer's USB. You can, however, use the device while it is plugged in to an AC or car power adapter. So just get an AC adapter to charge instead of using you machine and problem solved.

Yes! It is charged through a mini USB port on the side of the charger. As long as you can get a mini USB cable, you are good to go. My challenge is that the mini USB on the side is a bit loose and takes a bit of a wiggle to get the device charged.

I am sure you can but I prefer not to do that. If I have a plug for mycharge then I should be able to directly plug my phone into the wall.

Yes you can. the USB charger also acts as a connection for the device. You could also look into a USB Blootooth Adapter. Hope this answers your question.

Yes, you can. The charger cable and adapters it comes with are more for convenience than they are required. The quality of said cable is fair, but not super. That said, it also probably doesn't contribute much to the cost of the device either.

Yes you can use it while it is charging .When I get the low battery tone, I plug it in, power it up and it reconnects with my phone while it charges.The light turns red while charging and green when fully charged.

Yes you can. I rarely use it that way since the battery life is so great but for those moments when I forget to charge it I just plug it in to charge and it still works.

Yes, it works like an extension cord for your USB devices. I have charged my Kindle, iPad, iPhone and other Android phones with no problem.

You can turn the phone sideways to where the width is taller than the height and have it charge. Or you can completely turn it upside down to charge. But no, you cannot charge it while it is in the normal position, but you can the other 3 ways.

Yes you can but the cord is rather short, so i would rather let it charge then use it.

Yes you can use it while charging, i think it may be a tad bit uncomfortable with that cord hanging off of it while your using it, especially with the way it plugs in.

Yes, your phone will act as if it is plugged in to a normal phone charger when connected to this device. You will be able to continue using your phone while it is charging off this device.

You can use it while charging ,I have not tried to connect it to anything but my cell phone.
