Will the device work while it is plugged in/charging? Also, confused about A/C cord...does it come with one?

yes, the speaker can work well while it is charging.There is only one A/C cord, but also has one piece USB-Micro Cord

It comes with the cord that runs from the phone to the phone jack if you are using it on the desktop. Its ~6 ft. long . It does not have the little short cord if you wanted to mount it directly to a phone jack box on the wall. This phone ABSOLUTELY DOES NOT HAVE AN A/C ADAPTER OR CORD, OR ANY PLACE TO PLUG ONE IN ON THE PHONE. The display, WHICH IS NOT BACKLIGHTED (despite what the picture seems to show) and caller ID memory are powered by AA batteries only.

I just checked the instructions that came with the unit. It states that you can charge USB devices on AC or battery power but in order to save battery life the unit will cease charging external devices if being played on a high volume setting during battery operation. Hope that helps. ;)

No, no ac aadpater was not included. It uses power from the usb connection but like someone else mentioned, it has a mini dc plug. Personally, I have only used the usb for power. No need for anything else.

Same as C F, after a while of using it while plugged in, the USB port has become a bit lose and it will mess up as you move around with the cable plugged in. So yeah, it will work while charging, but you will losen up your USB port and eventually, you won't be able to use it while charging.

It comes with an AC wall plug and yes it indeed charges. If you want to buy a USB cord separately you can charge it that way too but it charges much better and faster with the included wall charger.

This latest one did not come with a/c adapter and did not need that. My earlier purchase came with one. I am sure the power adapter is needed for some operations. Last one have the outlets for this adapter also.

It should come with a plug cord. Just leave it plugged in for a bit, and it should work fine .

Mine came with an AC charger. I didn't have an opportunity to try the Google Play Store, since mine refused to load the operating system after about a month's use.

It comes with a charge cable and AC plug, just like for a phone. You plug it into the wall until the three indicator lights are lit, showing full charge. You can also attach your phone or other device to charge at the same time.

It comes with its own charging cable. A USB on one end, and a micro size on the other. You need to buy the adapter if charging thru AC current though.

Yes, no problem at all... A/C or your car charger will both work the same way ; you'll just be able to charge cord free when you use the pad.

It works while it's plugged in. I believe it charges - just slower - while it's being used. My unit currently is almost fully charged. Make sure you plug it in AFTER you have made a connection. Mine did not connect unless the charger cable was out. If it's plugged in when you turn it on, it will only charge.

The AC adapter needs to be plugged in to work. It works great and fast when plugged in!! Happy Day!!

Yes, when plugged in the speaker will run off a/c while also charging the battery.

This device did not include an AC plug. The wall adapter for my iPhone wasn't sufficient either. I had to purchase another one.

I assume you are talking about charging the unit, and if that is the case then J. Young is correct. You cannot seem to utilize the device while it is plugged in and charging. Another thing is that when it is charging the LED flickers all wacky like when it is on. Not a bad thing, but worth mentioning.
