Based on my experience the Wifi will work while charging to a USB charger, however if you are connected to a computer as a drive the Wifi connection will not be availble.

Works fine while plugged in. However, I'm not sure it is actually charging while working.

&lt;Kosh&gt; Ah, you seek meaning. Then listen to the music, not the song. &lt;/Kosh&gt; Jokes aside, this doesn't come with any charging device. I guess there's an assumption that if you want a USB travel charger, you'll already have some kind of USB power out at home. It's input is USB micro.

I have never had an issue - just plug it in and charge. The only thing I can think is under the seat where the connectors are maybe they aren't connected right? Sorry I can't be of more help.

Tablet warns you to unplug when battery is full. It does charge when using gps although not good. Use without charging then charge.

Did everyone try charging the unit while it is powered off? It seems to make a different to me. I bought three(3) and so far all battery seemed to be decently averaged out around 2.5 hours or so (mainly net surfing and video conferencing) after few months of usage. Power on while charging seems like charges don't hold too well even it shows 100% charged. Try it out...it may make some different.

With my Samsung Galaxy S4 I am NOT able to charge. Which is unfortunate, because that is all I wanted to do. It starts to charge for a few minutes and then disconnects and then reconnects. So I guess it charges a little, but the constant connect/disconnect sounds drive me insane. Why VW couldn't just put a simple USB port in there is beyond me.

YES...and no. If you are charging it, you cannot start using it as a wifi network for streaming movies. However, if you turn it on, and begin using it for streaming movies FIRST, then plug in a power cable SECOND, you can charge it as you go. I drove 5 hours LA to San Francisco with it on the whole time, and arrived with a full battery.

No. Mine spotted working even though I never used it near water... It would no longer take a charge after about 2 weeks, then it only worked if plugged in, now it did not work at all.I would advise to find another comparable product.

With my device, yes. And it should be the same with other devices. In order for my device to charge,First, connect the microSD power cable to this OTG cable.THEN connect the OTG cable to your phone. Your charge light should come on.THEN connect your other devices/peripherals (hub, mouse, flashdrive, etc). To get your peripherals to work, sometimes I have to unplug and replugin the power, or sometimes the hub cable. If your power supply is rated too small like (500-700 mamps or less), it might not charge AND run your devices very well. You can avoid that issue by using a powered USB hub, or by using just 1 peripheral. With my device, yes. And it should be the same with other devices.

I haven't had any problem with charging. As for mode, I don't think anything changes, you just get the beep beep when connection is made.

I have used my Ipad 2 while its charging without any problems. However, it charges at a much slower rate while its in use. If the Ipad is fully charged from the outset, then it will maintain its charge while in use if charging.

I believe so, though I have not tried it yet... it seems that, anymore, nearly all devices will work while charging. sorry I could not be more sure! It is an awesome little speaker with BIG sound! Especially on Styrofoam or cardboard!

Yes, the WifiSD creates it's own private SSID and doesn't require connecting to an existing wireless network. (Although it is possible to tell the WifiSD to connect to an existing wifi network so that you could access it from your device while continuing to have Internet access as well. I've never quite gotten that feature working for me but it wasn't a primary use case for me so I didn't try very hard.

There seems to be something wrong with how it works wrt charging and playing. I can get it to work whilst plugged in but not before it switches off- unplugging or plugging in power cord always disrupts it and means I have to restart it, but then it will work Ok still plugged in to the power.

Hi, Pat, The speaker does work while it is plugged in and being charged. I haven't tried to charge my cell phone from the USB port on the speaker yet, so can't answer that question. Overall, a great little speaker, especially considering it's priced under $50.00.

Hi i actually tried to charge it through the usb port and it was charging but not as effectively as i wanted...so i used the normal charging point which charged the tablet alot faster and havent had issues that way.... Its a good tablet...very fast...multitasking abilities beat the mini ipad.. And for the price you cant get better :-) trust me Ive tried alot of tablets before buying this one
