does this charge the phone

For me, it does not charge the phone, or keep it charged while watching on another device.

it will only work if you use your phone's original charger plugged into it. then the phone gets its charge that way

yes- it's part of the charging system, so it acts just like it would with the normal charger. Charges with the phone powered on or off.

no. If you plug it into your phone, all it will do is charge the phone using its built in battery.

It doesn't charge. I have a car charger that is plugged into my second "cigarette lighter" and I plug that charger into the phone when I need to charge it.

No, it only charges phones. I tried charging my Samsung Tablet, but it thinks it's a flash drive.

Yes it does. I am assuming you are referring to the shell and holster set. It will charge the phone even if it is in the holster as long as the back of the phone can set on the device it will charge.

It does, full disclosure though, the iPhone 5 connector 'broke off' after about just a couple of charges. I only use it as a backup charger for my S4 & IP4

No. Simply plug the phone into the battery. There's a plug inside the battery. Then u turn on the battery by holding down the bottom button until u see the charging icon in the battery on screen.

Yes it truly does. As long as you have that case on the phone it will charge both the case and the phone. My kids love theirs!

yes it does, but you cannot plug in the cord if the phone is in the docking slot (will not reach). You have to plug the cord with the phone outside the docking slot.

Yes and no. It does charge, but thru a usb port. If needed you can always unplug it from the usb from your computer or laptop to a wall outlet if you have an extra usb wall charger but you will not have access to your phone thru USB.

Good Morning, it does charge the phone; however, from what I can see it does not support battery use. It is; however, a very nice speaker. I love mine!

Sorry have never used mine to charge a phone, hope someone has the answer for you. :)

Yes it does. There is a slot for the extra battery behind the phone cradle. They both charge at the same time.

Yes, it will wireless charge the phone, even if not plugged in. I love the product!

Yes, the dock will charge the phone. I ran a long micro USB cable from my aux power port to the dock so it is always ready for the phone.

It does not come with a charger, but the supplied USB cord plugs into any standard phone charger. I prefer this, since we have a bunch of chargers laying around- why pay for another one?
