I've had this 5k limeade awhile and I find it stops charging my phone when my phone screen auto turns off. Very impractical. No fix/workaround?

If this is for the iPhone Model, I wouldn't know since I own the micro usb model. None the less I would still write to Limeade and ask them if this is normal and maybe you may have to enable something in the phone. I have not come across this issue yet on the Micro USB (Android) model, and so far it seems to work with my HTC One.

Bought an iPhone 5s yesterday (launch day) and the Limeade does NOT work with the 5s. Works fine with iPhone 5 as long as you don't mind the popup message. iPhone 5s gives same message but does not charge with the integrated cable, which is not certified with Apple. You can plug in your official Lightning cable to the USB port and it will work, although it defeats the purpose of having an integrated cable.

One of the problems with my q3 is with the on-off switch. Sometimes everything is fine, sometimes it works every second time, sometimes it just doesn't work. The only way I've found to get it back to life is to plug it to charger. Then things get back to normal.

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.

The same thing happened with me. Thankfully, I was able to get another charger and it'll charge it it's sitting a certain way. I cannot text or even touch the phone while it's charging, though.

I've had mine for a couple of month now. No issues so far. I have tried it on both 5s as well as 6 plus. Is it fully charged? Did you try to turn BT on and off on your phone? Maybe try somebody else's iPhone. If it still doesn't work, ask for a reacement. Good luck!

I have had no problems with it shutting off when finished charging. It was money well spent!

I get them all the time, and sometimes when I put on to charge at night the iphone is not charging, just the Fusion. Today after being on charge all night the phone was not charged and went off, Fusion was charged, So had to take apart charge phone for a while to get it working then put fusion back on to charge phone, duh? Save your money buy a good one.

Theres a micro usb port, the same as most samsung and blackberry chargers. You can use that to charge the limeade (cable included in pack, the power adapter however is not. You need to use your own)

Got the same problem. Going to try a different battery. If it happens again, I will try the recommended "reset" instructions to see if that works. We should not have to do this if hundreds of other people are not having to "reset" their battery/phone.

Hi Amy. Why do you think it stops charging? When you start to charge, the battery sign on your phone should show up. After a few seconds the Energy Saver will kick in and turn your screen off. It does not stop to charge your phone after that. Did you charge the Powerbank upfront? You should charge it until the blue LED on the Powerbank 3000 goes on. Hope that helps.

I actually went to Microsoft website itself and posed this same question. They didn't really seem to know much about it either. From what I understand is that it does not stop charging, yes allowing the opportunity for over charging damaging the overall life span of the rechargeable battery itself? Again, the specialist seemed to not be too clear or seemed to not know and guessed that it didn't stop charging. This leaves the possibility that it does "auto" stop charging once the batteries are fully charged.

I have the exact same problem. I contacted the vendor about it but I have not recieved a reply. When the battery is 100% full it runs fine but when charging, it's almost unusable.

Add me to the list - not sure when it started, a few weeks ago we noticed it b/c we charged it and then it was dead. Figured it got bumped in wife's purse or hadn't charged long enough but now I've been trying to charge it and see the on/off cycling going on. No answer, just sympathy and hope for a fix!

You can use your phone while charging it with the Limeade just like you would with an outlet. Use the 2.1A port on the Limeade if it's available to provide additional current, versus the 1A port, for charging while in use. If your phone can use more than 1A, you'll be able to charge faster while using it this way.

The only soultion I can really offer is just making your screen auto-turn off after a few seconds. I noticed that problem as well, though I don't mind it because I'm actively using the dock to display temp, speedometer, etc. so I don't really turn off the screen.And of course, you shouldn't have to, as the battery should be charging while it's docked.

I will add, when you are not charging your phone or when your phone is fully charged, make sure you remove cord from the charging device altogether... The device doesn't have a shut off capability. If there is a cord plugged into device, it starts using its power if it the cord isn't hooked into anything else. If your device is hooked to your phone it doesn't stop charging at 100%. The only way to shut off device is to detach everything from it
