Can my phone charge without the dock being plugged in? Can I charge the dock and then unplug it to charge only my phone through the charged dock?

No. The dock is basically a passthrough for the USB cable. You plug your USB cable in the dock and the dock has a micro-USB connector of its own. What you are looking for is an external battery charger.

No, there is no battery in the dock. It must be plugged in to charge the phone.

No. It has to be plugged in to charge. The dock is just a pass-through for the charging cable. It doesn't have a separate battery to store power. That would make it much more expensive.

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.

No it doesn't have any stored batteries or capicitors its simply just a DC pass through for your normal charger so that your phone charges while upright.

Obviously, the dock needs to be plugged to the charger that came with the Nexus 4. That's it.

No. you have to remove the cover even if you are not using the dock to charge the phone. I use the Otter Commuter which is very thin and it will not fit the dock unless I remove it

No, it doesn't enable dock mode when used with the "Smart Charging Adapter."

The power cable (from the cigarette lighter) plugs into a port on the back of the dock. There is another cable permanently connected to dock that you plug into your phone when it's docked.

Not to charge the I phone. But you can plug it into your I phone charger (USB) port to charge.

I do not have the charging dock. I have no problem plugging in the cord. I would expect the case would have to be removed to work on a dock. The edge is raised and very thick. The charger port is now recessed about a quarter of an inch deep. The case is very easy to remove.

Do you realize that this is not a dock, it is just a phone holder? It will not charge your battery while sitting there. Other than that I don't know the answer to your question.

There is no dock, it is a blue tooth speaker. My phone just connects to it.

Yes and no. It needs to be plugged in to charge the device but after its done charging. You can used it without it being in the plug in.

I am not sure what you mean by "dock" charger but it has a regular charger it does not sit in any dock just a regular plug in type

The plug is a little hard to plug in but yes, it can charge without an adapter. The adapter is more for iPhone docks. Hope this helps!

Yes, there is an adapter you can buy for the dock connection and there is also a USB port at the back to the unit that you can plug the charging cable into. Hope this helped.

No. You need to get a splitter cable, to go from female micro USB to twin male micro USB. That way you can charge the dock, AND the device with the device's adaptor

I don't see how it could, that said. Your pc will charge it, so you shouldn't need the dock when it's connected to the pc.

There is a port in the back of the phone to plug your charger in. There is no dock recharger here even though the photo looks like there should be.

I've never tried to charge it on a dock, but my best guess: no. The hole for the charging plug is set back into the case so that a rubber cover can flip up and secure over it. I definitely would not be able to sit flush on a charging dock (unless the dock was designed to overcome this). But again, I've never tried it...just my best guess.

No, it does not. You have to connect one USB cable to use the dock, if you want to charge the laptop you have to connect the charger separately.
