Can you use the phone (or whatever device) while it is charging?

Yes, it's just like any other charger. If you're hiking with the panel strapped to your backpack, that's normally how you'd be doing it anyway.

When I tried to use my phone to text - it stopped the charge. I think I remember the instructions hinting that during charging you shouldnt plan on using the phone

That's a bit of a problem. You cannot use it while it is charging. But it does charge through the USB connection so your power bank will still be useful.

I haven't tested that yet but I would say yes as you can turn it on while it is charging

You sure can. It's the same as having your phone plugged in to a regular charger. Think of it as a charger on the go.

If you turn off BT on your phone for example, you'll need to select the device from the list of scanned devices if you want to connect it. You can use it while charging.

I can use mine while charging. The charge time varies depending on whether you are using it or not. It should be the same as your original charger.

Yes, most devices can be used while charging. You can also plug in the battery while charging a device and charge both at once.

Didn't try that myself, but it worked when I plugged it in. Use it while it charges...

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!!

Yes you can use it while it is charging .When I get the low battery tone, I plug it in, power it up and it reconnects with my phone while it charges.The light turns red while charging and green when fully charged.

No, it cannot be used while charging. This has not been much of an issue for me though as it tends to hold a charge pretty well and it recharges quite fast.

Yes, it does charge while you use it. It will charge regardless of what your doing, just like if you were using your phone while its charging. A standard charger and cable is used in conjunction with this.

Yes. You can use it and charge it at the same time. I leave mine on charge in my auto continuously while I am driving. Works well that way. I never have to touch it.

Yes you can connect to the speaker and play music as you normally would while the speaker is charging.

Yes you can use the device while it is charging. I have only tried it with a phone but it should work on a tablet also. I used the Astro on a 15 hour flight to charge my phone and watch movies.
