Can the Clear Spot Wireless Hotspot be used continually, both on a charge and while it is charging?

Hi Kevin, I have a Clear Spot Wireless Hotspot. In fact, I have had one for several years. Yes, it can be used while charging and free standing. I would make sure it is charged initially when it first arrives, but from then on it has been a wonderful device. Best wishes and may this be your best year yet!

I left my Voyager on the charger constantly, and it expired before it was six months old. Never had that experience with the earlier Clear Spot which was always on its charger since I used it as my home modem. Why does leaving the Voyager on its charger lead to battery failure. Wish I had never changed traded in my old Clear Spot which was much more reliable.

Yes it can be on for about 6 hours fully charged, but it wouldn't be a good idea to keep it constantly charging all the time. When it's fully charged, unplug the charger until it's on orange. On orange basically ranges from 50-70% charged. When you're not using it or nobody else is using it, it's best to just turn off. You can still use it while it's charging, just make sure when all lights are green to unplug it until it hits orange. When it's on red, that means it's basically running low. I hope I was able to help you out Mr. Gordon.

Yes, I keep mine plugged in so it never needs recharging...doesn't make a difference.

Yes you can use it while it charges. I don't see why you wouldn't be able to use it with a transmitter.

You would have to take off one of the pins on the pad. I believe only 2 pins are used for wireless charging and the others are for the s view.

Yes there is! And I've been using it to charge three of my Sierra wireless mifi hotspot batteries! It's great! It's the Anker® Multi-Purpose Universal USB Travel Wall Charger. The Sierra one goes on with the label facing you. I have a cell phone battery it charges but that one I have to put the label in. This is all to avoid crossing polarity on the (+) (-) posts.

Really depends on how much you use your hot spot. If you are looking for on and off usage during the day, no problem. I'm not sure however that if a hotspot is your primary connectivity and you use it all day that this battery would power the entire day. I got 2-3 full charges to a Samsung galaxy s5 for each full charge of the battery pack. As Tom said...there's never any over kill.

As far as I know, there is no true "stand-by" mode. The device is either on or off. I've been able to get a full day's usage when on and when off, it can probably could last more than a week's time. I use mine sparingly and find that, at the lower end of usage, I'm only charging it on a weekly basis. Now, I DO turn the device off whenever I'm not using it. So right before I head out, I turn it on (sometimes I forget and turn it on while out) and then I turn it off as soon as I'm back home or in an area that provides free WiFi. My wife uses hers much more often and has the device on during much of the day. By the end of the day, the device is need of charging. Hope this helps.

Charge it for a while and then try to use it. You can use it while it is plugged up

Yes, it can charge the phone at the same time. Use the turn on the "location" button, and the "car mode" button and use it hands free!

Is there a way of using phone's wi-fi hotspot function and avoiding T-Mobile's "tethering" charge?

Yes, I have two of them and leave them on charge continuously. It operates the same on charge or on batteries. The BlueTooth operates when on or off of charge.

Yes, the phone is capable of acting as a hot spot. The issue is whether your carrier will enable this use of the device. Some companies specifically state that your device cannot be used in this manner due to the high amount of data usage it requires. However, the phone definitely has that capability.

Sure, you can take one phone off and simply put another on. no reset required for this unit, it's a "always on" charger, as long as it's plugged in.

Yes. I've had no problems using the phone while it's plugged in and charging

Yes you can use it while charging, but it can only be charged via USB cord.

You cannot charge and use it simultaneously. If it's on when it's charging, the battery will become damaged.

Absolutely, you can use it with the charger and not even use the wireless plugin if you choose

Yep...just make sure that the phone is centered on the charging pad. If not the phone will keep disconnecting and reconnecting to the charge.
