I guess, It works If the dock has power. I use it with a Bose Sound Dock Series II, always connected to electricity. It has worked well over a year.

It shoThe rechargeable battery will charge and work while in the the charging dock. I believe the battery bypasses the ac port.

Yes, the phone can be charged/powered while docked. You need a car charger, which can remain attached to the dock.

Yes it can be used without the dock, and the charger should plug into the wand. It is just like any other rechargeable device in that it will eventually go down. If you are low on battery without the dock just turn it off to minimize drain.

Yes you can charge the batteries in the phone or on the charger provided, and the charger even has a USB port so you can charge the battery in your phone and the one on the dock simultaneously.

Unfortunately it's not rechargeable. It has to be plugged into wall. Doesn't have to be docked it's range is quite good. I can have dock in room and go into living room or kitchen and still listen or change music.

No. This dock does not contain any kind of battery. It is basically a USB cable with a cradle built around the USB micro end.

Yes if the problem is the connection in your lightning port it cable. No if your battery is dead.

Definitely no! Without power it's totally dead - like a stone! You must connect it to power and then you can expect it to work - if there is no anything other wrong. If you don't want to use power, you can check another model - http://www.amazon.com/Anker%C2%AE-4-Port-Portable-Aluminum-2-Foot/dp/B00IJ331WY/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1416424283&sr=8-2&keywords=anker+usb+3.0+hub. It has only 4 ports and cannot charge devices, but it's more compact and doesn't power connection at all.

Hi Clarissa, The dock has a fixed cable, that cannot be disconnected, that has a USB plug on the other end. Just connect it to a USB plug (The Apple one that came with your phone for example) and then plug that into the wall. You can also connect the dock to any USB plug, laptop, car etc, and it will also charge i believe, however i do not believe it passes data (music etc) although i have not tried it.

Nope . . . I bought this dock hoping it might, but no go. I now have an expensed charger and cord :_(

In my case i haven't docked my phone to it at all, i've only used it through bluetooth its easier that way... but i believe it should charge the phone. It is NOT battery operated, it has a power cord. Also it has an AUX cable input. hope this helps

Ananth,I'm curious to know if you get any of the 'device doesn't support charging' or similar errors with your dock adaptor?

Yes, it uses the charging pins in the dock to charge its internal battery. Apple changed which pins supply power to its iPods several years ago, however, so docks built for the early generations of iPods will not charge this. It will play audio, but not charge, in older docks.

The dock does not come with a power cord. It uses the cord that came with tablet. If tablet is docked, both tablet and dock are charged.

Hi Tony. I returned this product because it did not work. It didn't charge my iPhone 4s or my iPad and it didn't play music through my iHome docking station. Other reviewers said the same thing. I bought one that works very well through cellphoneshop.net.

I just spoke with my sister. She stated that she can charge it with her cord, she doesn't have a dock. I apologize for not being able to help you.
