Do you HAVE to shake it to start the charge or will it start charging your phone as soon as you plug the cables in?

You have to give it a gentle shake , I only have to pick mine up and insert camel and that moment alone is enough to start charge

Just move it a little and you will see the circle light up and it will start charging

You do have to shake it, but nothing serious, just a bump and you will see the light come on, and the charging begin.

A small shake once the phone is plugged in begins charging. I use while skiing and plug in at lunch to ensure I can listen to music and record my ski tracks the entire day. Works great every time. I just keep it plugged in for a little while and then unplug it. If I forget it keeps my phone topped off all afternoon.

You cannot charge the phone and case at the same time, from my experience it charges your case first then it charges your phone

If you charged the charger first, it seems abnormal. I test it just before, it supposed to get lightening.

I have never charged phone from 0-full. I have charged it about a 1/4 power just to see how well it works. It takes about 12 minutes. I crank it slowly and the lighting bolt comes up immediately. it seems important to try to crank it slowly and consistent just like when you have plugged into the wall.

You don't really know when it's fully charged. I still don't. I just charge it whenever I can for as long as I can. I've come to realize that if it isn fully charged, it will not charge your phone. It will just hold your battery in the same place for a few minutes longer but it will still go down.

The phone will charge first to 100% and then the case will charge second. So if you're in a hurry, it's faster to charge them both separately but eventually both charge when they are plugged in as a whole unit.

Is it blinking all the time? or just when you connect a device? My light is blue steady even when I connect a phone to charge.

My light work perfectly, charge my phone quickly. When charging red light flashes. When charging complete steady red light you just unplug. When charging your phone plugin your USB to charger and phone, hold down the button until it turn green. That's mean you're phone is charging. I love my charger

No problem, I turn it to on when my phone is starting to get low on charge and it charges back up. I plug it in every night, and it is ready to go in the morning or if you want it to charge during the day it doesn't take long at all.

How long do you have to charge this product? When I first got it all the blue bars were flashing does the flashing stop when it is fully charged and how long does it take to charge your phone?

Only very slightly... but, that isn't unique to this charger. Like another person said, my phone is set to go to lock-screen and then sleep (turn off the screen) after 2 minutes, so it isn't just idling away while charging at the same time.

The short cable is for the adaption for headphones because a regular headphone jack is too short with the added case length. It is not always charging your device. You have to press the button in the back to turn on the charge. The only time it charges automatically is when you initially unplug from charger. If you phone isn't fully 100% it will charge it up.
