Does this work while charging? My current one cuts off as soon as plugged in, making it useless for hours at a time ;-/

I have never tried using it while it is charging. I wouldn't recommend it at all because the horror stories I have read of people using their cellphone devices while they are charging. That my also be the same with using a Bluetooth while it is charging.

As like anything else that doesn't have an auto shut-off, Yes, it will continue to use Power while charging at the same time!Always remember to turn it off!It will still charge, but, it'll take quite a bit longer with it on than off!I hope this clears things up for you.

You have to recharge the battery. t does not work while charging. But this is not issue for me because the battery life is about 8 hours.

That's happened to me on occasion, but it usually reconnects on its own. I find that it does the disconnect thing more often when it's getting closer to time to charge it. I think may be some power saver feature.

I can use mine while charging. The charge time varies depending on whether you are using it or not. It should be the same as your original charger.

There is a charging light that stays on while the battery is charging; the 'maximum charging' light does not stay on the entire time on mine, and mine works fine. So - maybe you should have yours checked out or return it..

I've never had any issues with mine. If I'm not mistaken it stops charging once it's fully charged!

Check your charging cable and (if applicable) the USB Wall Jack. I had this issue a while back, where the wall jack connector was not providing constant power (it'd provide it in a pulsing fashion). I later had a bad cable. Once I replaced the bad cable, it started charging with no issues.

I see three responses here stating that the device works while being charged, that has not been my experience. Once I connect the device to a charger while still on, it automatically disconnects from the blue tooth source. In this case the source being my phone.

I leave mine plug in all the time. It only charges when their is sufficient light. It also works under some lights at night.

I've read that these sometimes have a break-in period and that the charging indication corrects itself after a few days of use. I'd try charging it up and using it and recharging it a few times to see if that helps. Only "problem" is that the charge lasts a long long time! Good luck.

Best to turn it off then charge it....don't let battery drain totally. I often use it plugged in when it's fully charged.

When fully charged the red light will turn off. Now I don't use mine while charging but I would assume that it would slow it down somewhat. My first couple of times using it I put a full charge on it and wore it all the way out and now I usually just charge it every couple of days or so, depending on how much I used it that day.

I had problems with mine not charging- the 15% power light kept blinking no matter how long it was charged and despite the light that indicated it WAS charging going off; I ultimately returned it. A few other people seem to have some similar problems.

Yes: You can't use it while it is charging. There is a - and a + symbol by the handle. When it needs to be recharged, the light flickers. I hope this helps.

Hi, I am having the same problem with mine. I am sure these are defective items that are being resold. I have to shut it down, power cord in, turn it back on and then manipulate the cord just so. Sometimes it takes a few tries. When if starts to charge, I leave if alone, because it will stop even if lightly tapped. The charge doesn't last very long though. Very disappointed. I should have returned it when I got it.

Mine works perfectly. I plug it into my monitor USB port at work so i never take it home. I plug in my iphone charge while at work and i'm good. I never have to worry about my phone losing power while at work or on my commute home. I have the charge cable at home that came w/ the phone, and I only use it on weekends. My phone is charged up til at least 9am the following workday morning when i get in to work.
