Will not play while charging with mini USB cable in power block. Is this 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.

When I purchess the speakers the second time around it was of poor Quality then the other 3 that I have, only the black one the other two was good and sound. When you charging the unit the red light comes on enableing the unit to play because it is CHARGING MOOD.

No its not normal you should be able to charge and listen at the same time, something's wrong with yours, you should return it.

Never had the occasion to do both but just tried it and yes - will play and charge at the same time. The cords that it comes with aren't very long so your power supply would have to be close unless you use another cord.

Sounds like the battery pack is no good! Did you try contacting the seller? Or try using another cable to charge it and see if that works.

If I understand your question your mini port(the small receptical at bottom of device-Female_) is not a great fit and you are concerned it may not charge ?if thats what your asking you can check by looking at top right for a tiny image of a battery with a lightning bolt through it -if you see the lightning its charging.another way is to plug in go settings>Batterry and it will tell you in the top left corner if its charging or not.All these cables are not the same some fit better than others .

It won't connect while charging, but I've managed to keep it connected to my phone playing music and then plug the charging cable in without a problem

I have not had this problem. Sounds like may have defect. I have used mine while it was charging and using blue tooth connection.

I never had a problem with it charging. Might be a defective device. It happens with mass produced products.

I experienced this same issue when using the micro-USB port for charging. Using the round slot with the original power adapter charged it correctly in my situation.

No it shorts out. And it will not fully charge. I've tried multiple USB cords as well.

I just hold power button till it says "power on" to me at obscene volume. make sure you unplug before turning on, i noticed it doesn't like to do anything while charging.

Nope. Looks like the USB ports are not powered while in recharge mode, even though the recharge port is dedicated to recharging.

I've found that sometimes you must use the wider, proprietary plug to charge & link. Why the USB-only link fails sometimes, I don't know.

I assume that tried charging it for extended periods of time with no success? I can only assume that you have a faulty product, since I haven't run into that issue yet and it can play for several before needing to charge it.

Had the same issue. Started charging by the micro usb port. Works fine now.

Make sure your charging cord is plugged in to AC and not a USB port. If you do plug it in with USB it'll attempt to set up a connection with the PC or laptop, which is a good thing actually, but it won't charge.
