Does this still work while it's charging? Or does it go into a silent/standby mode during charging?

Yes it will still remain active while charging. Actually it's best to keep it on the charger while using cause if you don't the battery only last about an hour & and half or 2 hours.

If I remember correctly this unit doesn't actually turn off if it is plugged into something. The only way to "turn it off" is to unplug it from whatever it's charging.

Mine will not play while charging. I'm using it with a Samsung tablet.Update: After it had charging for about 10 minutes or so, I turned it off and on and then it worked. It was totally dead when I plugged it in, so that may have had something to do with it.

Works while charging; there is power switch. Use of the bluetooth connection is selectable in "settings"

It does work when it's plugged in, just kind of annoying and it recommends not to. But I have before haha. There is no battery indicator light either which is kind of odd, so you kind of just hope it lasts or that it's charging. Haven't had any problems about it not charging but its still strange.

I think it should be left in the off position while charging. Don't quote me on that though.

It stops charging when in use while plugged in but will pull a charge from the outlet and works.

That previous answer is correct - the charging light goes out when fully charged.

Same as if you were plugging it in to charge. If your volume is on it will make the charging beep and light up red. When you remove it no noise.

Yes, you can use it while it is charging. This is important if you forget to plug it in so it still works.

Yes, it still works while charging. I tried this out with a travel charger in my car. I had my iPhone connected to it playing music through my car stereo; all while the device was being charged.

I use mine while it is charging. Never left it on all night, but have used it while plugged in.

If you plug it into a computer that is on, not in sleep mode, it should start charging right away. No tricks.

I have never tried to use it while charging so I do not know.It worked quite well in Windows 7, but I cannot seem to get it to work properly in Windows 8.1.As a result of this, I no longer use the two units that I have.Has anyone had any real success with these in Windows 8.1?

It will work while charging, by holding down the MODE button while applying power. See my review for full instructions.

On mine the LED display stays on while charging too. I found that a bit weird aswell.
