Yes, you can play music and accept calls while charging. You can leave it plugged in, it works while plugged in and unplugged.

It plays music and will accept calls while charging or not. I leave mine plugged in at all times.

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.

Do you mean while it is charging? Yes . It still play music while charging. You can charge your device while playing but not when the charge level is on red light in the back when you press the battery indicator. Thx. Hope this help you make your choice. I like this device. The sound is thru out the house. 1100 sq ft.

This unit needs to remain plugged into the audio output or headphones jack of your non-bluetooth equipment in order to pair and receive on whatever bluetooth speaker, headphones, etc. you wish to receive on. If you mean do you need to keep it plugged in for charging it, the answer is no. Once it's charged, it will operate until its charge is used up and then needs recharging.

Plug it in, then turn on. Music will come out of speakers. It will charge when it off

Mine hasn't run while docked, but I would assume the sound would play through the phone as well as any audio. The unit only acts as a charger.

I was able to play music on a USB flash drive when running from the battery. If I plugged it in, the music would not play. However, I can play music on a MicroSD card when the speaker is plugged in or running on the battery. We use it to play calming music for our dogs when we are out of town, so being able to have the speaker play while plugged in was important. I hope that answers your question.

It cannot be used while charging because it sits on the base to charge. Other than that, its a good product. Great range and crisp and clear sound.

Short answer: yes. I used to charge it and use it until battery got full drain. The player automatically stop playing, then I plug the device to the charger and after a couple of seconds I can resume plating with no problem at all.

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.

I just plugged mine in and turned it on. I streamed music as it was charging with no issues. So far, I have only used it via the battery. Battery life is great and it is good to know it will function while charging. Hope this helps. FYI, I love mine!

This cant use to play music...just only talk and yes you can leave your device and walk a distance from it but not too far away

I don't think so. I just charge my phone separately but you can do that while you're using the speaker. I'm enjoying having portable music!!

Yes it does charge your device while listening to music even when you turn it off ( and its pluged in) it will still charge your devise. As if its compatible with iPhone 4 I' m not sure as I have an iPhone 5 and only use this with my iPod but I think some of the other reviewers gave you good feedback on that.

Mine takes a long time to come to a full charge. Several hours. So as a matter of course, I usually leave it plugged in and charging, until I want to take it somewhere untethered. It does provide a long play time (8-12 hrs). Although that time seems about the same, whether it's playing, or just in standby mode, switched off. Which is why I leave it plugged in/charging.
