Does it charge your iPhone when it is docked in the speaker?

As far as I am aware, yes, at least while the speaker is on external power; I'm not sure about when it's running off batteries. However, the dock is inside the enclosure, behind a cover, which can be a little inconvenient. After a year with both, I feel that the Soundfreaq Sound Kick speaker offers better sound, an external USB port (which is powered only when hooked to external power supply), and a 3mm port.

No. This unit have not USB capability, and you won't charge your iPhone or any device. This speaker have a USB port but is only for the power supply.

Hi, Pat, The speaker does work while it is plugged in and being charged. I haven't tried to charge my cell phone from the USB port on the speaker yet, so can't answer that question. Overall, a great little speaker, especially considering it's priced under $50.00.

Yes it will charge your phone via USB. However on the iPhone it also auto starts your iPod music.

Not exactly. Your iPhone has access to various alarm apps and plugs into the speaker/charger. When you do this the clock on the device syncs to your iPhone clock. When the alarm app goes off, the sound is enhanced by whatever level you set the speakers on (unless you muted your iPhone then no signal would be sent to the speakers while docked). I use it all the time as my primary alarm clock.

Yes, the cable charges whatever you have connected to it. However, the cable will only seem to play my ipod and not music from my iphone. If you plug your iphone to the cable, it will charge, but seems not to be compatible with playing music from the phone library.

No it doesn't but you can still charge your phone while you are using it. I really enjoy using the speaker it goes everywhere I go. Hope I was helpful.

no, but it works great. my only complaint is that when you dock your phone, it automatically turns music on, when all i want to do is charge it.

Yes it charges when it's on the iPod docking station, and quite quickly. However the docking station is very sensitive and didn't last long :(

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 still works while charging. I tried this out with a travel charger in my car. I had my iPhone connected to it playing music through my car stereo; all while the device was being charged.

I use it with the wired SoundDock and it charges when its docked. From my understanding, it charges with the Portable too.

I can only answer part of your question. My son has the iphone 5 and it works perfectly and yes it charges the phone while playing music. He loves it. He has a case on his phone and does not have to take that off for it to charge and play.

No. The speaker gets its power from the USB port on your computer or player. (It also gets the sound from that port.)

No it does not have an IPhone dock. In the rear of the speaker you can access the cord you would plug in the the headphone area and yes it will play whatever you have on your phone or internet. Hope this helps...

If the speaker is charged through a USB port then it might. If the speaker is large, the charger may have difficulty generating enough Amps to supply contimously. This charger is great, it does not get hot and charges my iPhone very quickly.
