Yeah, it will! I just tried charging my phone with the New Trent plugged in to the wall and it worked perfectly.

I just tried it and it seems to work. I have the bluetooth plugged into the 1A for smart phone and the iPhone into 2.1A for tablets and both are charging while the NT120C is charging. On the NT70T I can charge my bluetooth with the integrated micro port, but there is no passthrough for the USB ports, so that is an upgrade for the NT120C in my mind. Of course, my answer is based on trying it, not any knowledge of if it is supposed to work or not.

I'm not clear as to why you would want to use the iCarrier that way but yes it will work. My wife uses her iCarrier instead of using a wall outlet to charge her iPhone. It will charge her phone for many weeks without a recharge. If you are charging several USB devices at once, use a splitter. Remember also that battery packs have a recharge cycle life span.

This is not a wall plug in unit for one.....It is a battery pack that is designed to charge and recharge both tablets and phones multiple times on a single charge. It recharges itself when plugged into a computer via USB and can be recharged itself 500+ times. It does not need to be connected to a power source to charge other devices. It is a power source itself that is rechargeable.

Yes, the CarbonPak will charge two devices while plugged into the charger although I would suggest a USB splitter connected to your wall charger.
1579588
Yes, this charger will perform this task, however I believe you could find a much cheaper way to perform this task. This device is awesome as a portable battery and I think that is where you will get the greatest use out of it.For the application you are looking for I would recommend a USB wall splitter that would allow you to connect multiple USB charged devices to the outlet at once.
1579589
You can but, you should really plug your phone directly into an outlet to get a full charge. It's better for your phone and also the device.

If I remember correctly, the light, where the bluetooth symbol is, changes colors when it is charges and when it connects to the phone or other device you are using it for. I think you press the middle button and hold it to sync it with the other device. My wife uses it to listen to music and rain sounds when she is trying to fall asleep. She always keeps it plugged in because after around 7 or 8 hours it starts to make a squealing noise as the battery dies. We have had it for around a year and she love it. If she didn't have this, she would have to keep her phone in bed with her. She broke the charging port on her phone sleeping on it before we purchased this.

Have you tried using your headset, after you unplugged it? Because it doesn't take days to charge it? If its not working then your head phonesare dead. Because my headset did the same thing.

No, you need to charge the unit. When fully charged you can use it for 10 hours or so. Then place it back on the charger when done and it will resume charging. It is a great headset.

Mine does not seem to do this and it is very annoying. I use it primarily as a headset for Google voice and Skype calls. If I forget to turn it off and it drains down the battery, when I try to use it I cannot just plug it into a charging port and be on my way. It has to recharge first, then I disconnect it from the charger.

This is the only device I have used so I cannot compare it to others. It stays fully charged for months. I just carry it in my bag and it only seems to really discharge when you are using it. You can attach it to your phone and make a call, or plug it into your phone and it will charge your phone. So basically it will charge your phone fully and then have some juice left. I haven't used it much. Seems to work well! Mine is a Droid Razr Maxx, and my friend used it on her non motorolla phone too, so I think it would also charge an Ipad or Kindle, anything with that same connector. So if you phone holds a charge all day, this will get you another day basically. This is the only device I have used so I cannot compare it to others. It stays fully charged for months.

When it arrived I installed it and let it charge in the base overnight. We've been using it daily ever since, leaving it in the charger between uses. Nothing special done other than the initial overnight charge. Just be sure anytime you put the headset in the charger, to seat the headset well into its mount and you see the blinking charge light and let it do its thing. No more blinking = fully charged, ready for use.Hopefully this battery will last as long as the original, we got about 5 years or more.

This is not a Bluetooth device. It has to be plugged into the handset of a regular cordless phone. The jack is not for use with cell phones. It won't work on a cell phone. If you are using a phone that is not cordless, you plug it into the base but there is no mechanism-button or switch- that allows you to answer or hang up on the call. You will have to remove the handset from the base and lay it down and you will hear/speak through the headset. Once done with the call, hang the handset back onto the base. There is no volume control or mute on the headset either. Everything is controlled through the phone. This is not a Bluetooth device.

I always turn the headset and sending unit off when not in use, and place the headset on the charger. That way it will always have a full charge when you want to use it. I have never used the unit long enough at any one time to completely run down the batteries.

Newer models have a voltage regulator so they can be left plugged in constantly, but older models didn't have that and could be damaged if left on too long, so you may get mixed messages about this. This is from the description here on Amazon: "The onboard battery automatically stops charging when it has reached a full charge--allowing you to keep the JNC660 connected to an AC outlet indefinitely without causing any harm to the battery."What I've done to insure I'm not leaving a few batteries I have "drained' but am also not leaving them plugged in 24/7 is set a timer on a charger to come on for 15 minutes a day, otherwise I "manual charge" them right after using them.

Hi Juliana,I did some research and yes you probably could plug it into the wall jack--maybe for a little while, because of the battery life. But it also seems like you need to charge it on the base? I have not tried this myself. I keep mine on the base.

Yes!...Change the charger cord!... I use mine on a weekly basis in all currencies all over the world, and have noticed that changing the cord helps...Sometimes I use the charger from my Motorola Bluetooth headset charger and others my Android charging cord...All good now!

The end that charges the item has to be plugged into a USB receiver. Either a PC or an iPhone plug that plugs into the wall. To add to my last review... I must say that after re-charging it and using it a few times, it seems to be holding a charge way longer then the first time, making it more handy to have for emergencies! I'm considering purchasing another for my teenager. Hope this helps!

It depends on how you want to use it. If you have a multi-handset cordless phone, then you can plug the "master" or main unit into the Xlink, and all the others one will work. If you want to use this with regular corded phone, then yes you need to plug it into the wall jack, but don't forget to the disconnect your line from the outside at the Network Interface Device (located where the phone line comes in from the outside, usually in the basement).

This unit needs to remain plugged into the audio output or headphones jack of your non-bluetooth equipment in order to pair and receive on whatever bluetooth speaker, headphones, etc. you wish to receive on. If you mean do you need to keep it plugged in for charging it, the answer is no. Once it's charged, it will operate until its charge is used up and then needs recharging.

I see the first answer of this question mentioned that it should be disconnected as soon as it has full charge or almost full charge. I understood the different way. It can be charging for 24/7 continuously without unplug until you are going to use it. So which method is Righr?
