Does this charge your phone at the same time as streaming videos? Not sure how I would be able to keep a charge on the phone if I were to watch a long movie?

It will if your phone is working properly. If you are one of the many Verizon customers who experienced problems because of the last android update where your phone is discharging super fast or not fully charging then you will notice that your phone will gradually discharge with this adapter while trying to watch a movie. The adapter I got is not good quality. Thought you should know that. If the planets are aligned just right and you have your phone positioned just right with the adapter just right, you might be able to watch something for a good 20 minutes before you lose connection.

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.

The streaming is awesome. It will stream everything and anything coming from the phone. Not sure on the sd card. I have only tried once and it didn't work. I was trying to view pics. My biggest com ain't is that there are no voice controls like "call so and so" and automatically dial.

Hello Kris, Great question. The video can run continuously for approx 1.5 hrs on a full charge and approx 1.5GB of memory will be utilized during that time.

It works just like any other source of electricity. If you can plug your phone into the wall or your computer and it works, then this will work too. HOWEVER is it quite possible that, depending on your phone and what you try to do with it, you will try to use more power than this thing can put out at once. For instance it might not keep up with streaming movies from a completely dead battery.

I have streamed video from Amazon as a Prime member. It was free and worked well. It was a long time ago, so I don't remember the details. Right now I'm using Netflix and the kindle fire to video stream to a large TV with an HDMI cable which works great.

Although you cannot charge battery while the unit is running, I went camping a couple weeks ago and by running the projector with my externalbattery pack (5 volts 2 amps) plugged into the mini USB connector I was able to watch two movies (five continuous hours) with it. The unit got a little warm but it worked like a charm.

After market batteries rarely meet the original quality unfortunately, though my battery from Anker will give me a couple hours at least. It also depends what you are doing for that time. Streaming video uses a lot of power, which I do a lot. The battery will charge more deeply if you use it to around 8% and then completely charge it without using it. Anker has a great customer service reputation so if you think you have received a battery that is defective, contact them right away and they will surely help you. I will however, use my laptop on battery only tomorrow and see what I get for time and if I have a way to get back to this question, I'll let you know the exact results.

I only use it to watch Netflix and Amazon streaming. It works fine for that but needs charging rather too often. For the price it's a good deal.

Yes. But, if it is your intention to stream movies from ur S 3 to ur TV, as I understand that I'll not work. There is a different cable for that. I looked it up once and I as I remember, it was a few dollars more than I wanted to spend. As I already have several other options for doing that, it did not seem like the extra money was worth the expense!

Ok, i think the right answer is: the device does not charge while playing videos if connected to usb port (it simply mantain charge if connected to the right charger). It is reccommended a 1500/2000 A usb charger for best results.

Hi, it does not charge t the same time both, I think it does not functioning anymore after 4 or 5 charges... Not recommended.

Yes you can definitely watch a 2 to 3 hour movie--you can probably easily do five hours with it. Yes it does charge into the wall.

Hi Claire, yes you definitely can. I use a 32 gb external USB to watch my movies all the time. You would need to buy a Micro USB adapter (goes for $1.95 or so) and plugs into the charging slot. I would recommend downloading MX Player to watch the movies. It is a free app but really amazing on how you can control your video. Also, people complain about getting to the Micro SD slot in the back where you have to pop off the small casing, however I found this to be easy if you use a small screw driver to pop it off then place it in. It is not hard at all. I have a 32 gb Micro SD slot in there. So instead of the measly 16 gb i have a total of 64 gb additional space it is awesome!!

We use a wall adapter that has two USB ports on the side. Then plug it directly into the wall. It work great, 5 minute charge gets you a 2 hour movie, easily.
