when you use this, does your phone or tablet's battery power goes down even when it is charging?

typically yes. It depends on the charger you hook up to the slimport. I've found that fast chargers will net charge the phone even with a strong video output, however, car chargers, in general will result in a small to a medium discharge (medium discharge if using the appradio 2 output, it has low output current).

Yes, the battery goes down. I added a powered USB to the device that extends the battery, but still the battery level goes down meaning it does not charge as fast as it discharges.

I have left my phone on it for hours while the phone was powered on but I have noticed when the phone is off and when it is done charging, the battery pack shuts down automatically so if your phone is off, my guess would be that it shouldn't. Not sure how it would be if the phone is on. Maybe it works the same as it detects the battery is fully charged it may shut off either way as to not overpower the phone.

My experience is similar, although I don't usually use it constantly all day. I keep it charging whenever I'm not using it.

Not in my experience. The device seems to charge just fine while off or on, even while actively playing music. I have never been able to run the battery long enough to go completely dead so I don't know if that is the case with a totally dead battery.

I've had no problem with mine. It quickly charges my Nexus 5 via Qi but I don't remember seeing a Qi charge power output specification.

If you are connecting the usb cable to a computer or 12 volt plug, it will only charge when the tablet is powered off.

No I've charged it time and time again with it off. Its best that it's turned off during such process due to the fact in its on state it will be corresponding as a active device.

Mine has never done that ... I charge the keyboard often as there is no indicator light that warns of low power, maybe that will help you too.

I have been using the charger for my phone and charging via the USB. I believe the issue with my tablet not charging was actually something that occurred internally and that it was not the wall charger.

Normally the tablet shuts down when the battery is discharged and then needs to be charged. When you plug your charger into the a/c and the tablet begins charging, it will heat up to indicate it is charging, it it don't heat up you may have a bad cable or charger. If the tablet won't charge it won't start up. Also, you may have to push a pin in the reset on the bottom of your tablet, it is right next to where you plug in your charge cord. Just remember if it don't charge, it won't start up... Warning: Only use the power adapter to charge your device. I hope this helps you.. Ken

Tablet warns you to unplug when battery is full. It does charge when using gps although not good. Use without charging then charge.

No. As soon as you plug in the charger, your phone/stuff will do an emergency shutdown. All that happens to my stuff atleast.

I turn tablet off for 15 seconds and back on , that sometimes works. I had to take first tablet back because of that problem. Also seems to connect better with a good battery charge.

It does that when it is charging. There is no battery so you have to recharge it. I've done full day workshops, recharging only during breaks and have had no problem.

When you charge the device, it will be automatically turned off...you have to reconnect it after it is being charged!

It does, but slowly. I let mine sit after I fully charge it. If I haven't used it for a few months, then plug it in, it has never been under 90% charged.

I haven't had any trouble. I have a Samsung"7" tab. The battery fully charges it up.
