Will it work or charge using USB v1? Can anyone tell me if it'll charge using the USB v1 port?

I have an older PC with the old, slower USB 1 and there's no problem charging my Zen Stone.

I have never tried to use it while charging so I do not know.It worked quite well in Windows 7, but I cannot seem to get it to work properly in Windows 8.1.As a result of this, I no longer use the two units that I have.Has anyone had any real success with these in Windows 8.1?

yes, you can use USB to charge. I suggest checking the manual for best guidance

I recommend you try the 4 port USB 3.0. It requires no external power. However, charging devices through this port is not recommended. I have one and it has worked with everything I have tried in it.

Just connect the correct end to the charger port and hit the on button once. It should start charging. I have a android phone and it works great.

Yes will charge from USB, it is standard USB voltage output. It is not the most effective way to charge (charges slowly), however it will charge Samsung's, LG's, HTC's iPhone's, iPod's, etc.

Hi, I'm a little confused... If it's a tablet, doesn't it charge via USB? If it's a laptop I could understand the choice between 9 and 12 V but if it's a tablet, i'm not really sure whether 9 or 12 volts are used...

I am a little confused because I read that the only way to charge it is through USB. Does it come with any sort of wall charger or any adapter to plug the charger with that mini plug into the usb port?

Don't know...haven't tried it, but it won't charge anything that does not have some sort of USB input.

It will charge using micro USB ....mine does. It does not sync using micro USB cable, only over wifi if you set it up to do that.

I don't know what the other guy's talking about, because I have 3 of them, and they all come with their own charger. It's 100-240V input with replaceable AC prongs. Output is 12V, to one of the standard round plugs. This makes it charge much faster. It's not 5V like USB! So yes, it should work fine. In the worst case you'll need a simple travel adapter.

Yes it will work. You just need to unplug the USB end from the wall plug and use the USB portion only. I haven't tried a full charge but it definitely gets you through in a pinch. It is a very handy device to carry with you at all times, I even use it to charge my cameras. That has been a real lifesaver for those special moments you don't want to miss because of a dead battery. Give it a try I think you will agree it comes in handy just when you need it most. TC

It will work with USB 2.0, just considerably slower. In my very informal testing it was about 1/3 as fast when plugged into a USB 2.0 port than when using a USB 3.0 port.

Mine is doing the same thing. Right out of the box. Not sure if it's the charger, the battery or the charge port. Neither USB nor the main adapter charge it at all.

Yes. It will charge either via a compatibile USB charging plug or by using a standard micro USB cable. The charging speed depends on the output amperage of the plug. Best charging is at 5V / 2A

Hi Alex, I have used a 1A, 2A charger & my laptop USB port. They all worked perfectly, charging at different speeds, of course.

Yes,if you have a charger that is similar to it,it will work as well I use a different one then the one that came with the unit and it works probably better.You need a normal usb size on one end and a smaller usb port on the other end an that should do it.If you have anymore questions just ask I hope that answers your question and solves your problems.Thanks.
