Has anyone else had an issue with charging this speaker via the USB port and the cable supplied? Mine only works when plugged in.

I love this device I have had it close to two years it has been outside and is always charged and ready , love solar, mine charges good with the cord as well, solar charge lasts about 2 to 3 hours

Mine lasted about a month then it stopped working at all...totally dead, caput, gone. The solar power didn't last long. I got rid of it and replaced it with a Sony. Good luck!

Mine works fine using the solar. I did notice the charge doesn't last long after the sun goes down though.

We've not had any problem at all. Our stays outside all the time. If I remember correctly, there was a dark film covering the top of the solar panel. I'd just suggest checking to ensure that this film has been removed.

The usb cable plugs into a pc anf charges the speaker. If you got those cables it will charge. If not get in touch with veho and get the right cable

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.

Mine doesnt have problem.. Try plugging it to other usb port.. Sometimes usb port doesnt work.. Hmm if problem still continue maybe its factory defect... But also try pluggin it to other device just to confirm if itd faulty or not ... Have a nice day... Cheers

sorry for the late response....I just tried mine and the music is kinda skipping whilst the colour changes. So, Im guessing that it does not play while it is charging.

I got the same issue (connected with USB) plus, has static. The on/off control is in the weird location and many times I get the Static with a noise in the speaker. They even get sound when I turn on and off the light in the room. It never happened with the previous speakers.

Sounds like the battery pack is no good! Did you try contacting the seller? Or try using another cable to charge it and see if that works.

I just plugged mine in and turned it on. I streamed music as it was charging with no issues. So far, I have only used it via the battery. Battery life is great and it is good to know it will function while charging. Hope this helps. FYI, I love mine!

This has happened to me also. Make sure the speaker is charged and press the button labeled "M" to reingage the speaker. It's a pain when it happens but I haven't had it happen much.

No. In fact it should play while your even charging it. Looks like you my have a lemon. I would exchange. It's worth the time. It's an awesome little speaker for the money. Also it will last a very long time on a charge.

You may need a new cord. I just plugged in the end into the speaker and the USB end into a wall plug like for your iPhone. The USB part also charges with computers and ps3/xboxes to. If it is not working it may be your coord I would email the company.

Initially it worked for me, but now it won't. I would plug my phone in to charge while also using the aux input from my phone to listen to streaming radio through the speakers. Now it stopped registering that i have plugged in the USB to get power to the phone. I tried a different USB cable and it worked at first, but the next morning when I tried again that cable wouldnt work either!! what the.. Luckily the cables still work with other outlets so the iHome did not kill the cable.

I had trouble with mine not charging as well. Contact the seller and exchange it.

Mine only has a USB cable. It's a great speaker ... I just bought a spare in case something ever happens to the one I use.

I assume that tried charging it for extended periods of time with no success? I can only assume that you have a faulty product, since I haven't run into that issue yet and it can play for several before needing to charge it.

I have never had a problem w/mine, it works wonderfully and has a great sound. I am wondering if your speaker is defective, and you need to return for an exchange? I am a trucker, my team mate and I both use it, in the truck and in the rest rooms while showering, and have never had a problem w/sound quality or reception. Either your speaker or the cable you are using to connect may be defective?

Is your USB cord working properly? I always charge both of mine with the USB cord and my PC or laptop - never had a problem with either one of them.
