If you are charging your phone with it, will it play music through the speaker if you hit play?

It's fully functional with the speaker - make and receive calls, and play music or podcasts.

It doesn't really stay in dock mode for me. If it actually goes into dock mode, and you have a music shortcut on the dock screen (which can be customized) you can play music through the speakers while charging. But if you end up pressing the home key and taking it out of dock mode, it stops playing through the apeakers and the you'll have to undock/redock again to play through the speakers. Its really annoying. If you end up getting this dock and figure out a fix, please let me know!

As I said, I got this as a gift for someone else , so I haven't actually tried this out myself, but my Mom says yes, the phone will play music while in the dock.

I haven't used the dock with it connected physically to a speaker, only with my phone connected to a speaker or headphone by bluetooth. There's no problem using it while charging under those conditions.

You need aux cable to play music, lightning connector will charge, but if you don't plug aux cable then music will only play through phone speaker and not car's

Yes - if it's a power source ONLY. That is - if you have it plugged into anything it detects as a "computer", it will go into music transfer mode. But if you're using (for example) an AC-to-USB charger like many cell phones use, the Clip will play just fine while charging. I've also used a portable cell phone charger that uses two AA cells, and it ran fine from that as well.

For charging you will need an dock to lightning adapter but for just playing audio it will work.

This is true. I've learned that if I open the cover over the charging site when I use it the sound is fine. Or you can use the speaker which works fine. Hope this helps.

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.

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

Yes, I've played music through it while charging it at the same time in the car. Some reviewers have mentioned that they get some feedback noise while doing that. I have heard no feedback noise with my device.

play music? u mean can ur phone play music while charging? if that is what ur asking i saynyes , i can hear music through my bluetooth while phone is charging

Yes, because it will be connected via Bluetooth to the device that will be streaming Pandora. So Pandora music will then play through the speaker.

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

Yes, you can play it while plugged in. It actually plays quite a bit louder. It should be charging depending on the volume .

I only used it for charging. I was not able to play music thru it from my Sony docking station.

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 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!!

No! Others stated that you couldn't charge and play due to the cable hitting while in the stereo. I solved this by cutting away part of my pretty BMW's cassette player. It won't play while charging.Now I have a cutup BMW and an adapter that must be turned on and paired periodically. I'm not a fan! I wish this had been mentioned previously. It's a poor design and I'm returning it now.
