Does the background light stay on when charging your iPhone? I want to be able to see the time without hitting anything while in bed.

It does not unless you have the setting this way. However, when is had to remain lit continuous the charging rate was so slow it would not charge 100% at night. I do not recommend this item. It only works as a junior varsity speaker. I found a very good blue tooth speaker at Office Depot that is rechargeable and I use this, charge and have a speaker, and when I leave for the office I switch the charge to the speaker and both are 100%when I return home.

to tell you the truth I have not used this item for about a year. This was a total waste of money and stopped working like a month after I got it. It never charged 2 items at the same time. I would not recommend this item,

I'm really not sure I was very furstrated with the unit since I never got it to work in the first place.

Yes the light does come on, but if there's a message or e mail that you had got the notification light will come on, I suggest shut the phone off and sees if it's charging, I hope thus helps...

There is an on and off switch. What you do is charge the case all the way. To know when it is fully charged the charger adapter will be at room temp. Then you use it as a backup charger or u can use it when the iphone is charged and the case will just keep the iphone charges to 100% until the battery in the case runs out then you use the iphone battery. You need to charge the case to 100% and then use until it doesn't work and charge again. To get best results. Should take 3-4 hours.

Can't turn it off unfortunately. Yes iOS dies indicate battery charge on iPhone. Not Mac from what I've seen though. You have to open the beats app on Mac for that.

Yes, the LED indicators will flash until the case is fully charged, then the lights are hold steady. You can charge both the case and the iPhone at the same time -- the iPhone will charge first, then the case will charge up.

I think it is the ON position. On mine, if it is ON and I plug it in, the light goes off. And if I pull it out of the socket, simulating a power outage, the light comes on. If it is OFF/Charge position, you can pull it out of the socket and nothing happens. If it is in the night light/charge position, the night light is always on. The only think I am not sure of is if it getting charged when it is in the ON position and plugged in.Sorry, I noticed too late that geeker answered the same way.

I plugged mine in for the recommended 8 hours, but the light remained red. As the directions were firm not to leave it plugged in longer, I unplugged it. Did anyone else's light change from red to green when charging it? It works great so far!

Yes the time still displays. Sometimes the album covers appear on the IPOD but other times I can't get them to appear. Don't know why. Anyone else know why? Sometimes have a hard time docking it.

My light stays on as long as the unit is plugged in and the battery is attached. I just let it charge for 10 hours before removing. That seems to work. It would be nice if the light went off when it was done, but I donlt think mine does...

A red light comes on when charging. When fully charged the light goes off. It doesn't change color.

Like the others have said, it does NOT have an indicator to tell you when it needs charging, other than a dimming of the light output. The company does publish a table that tells you how many hours a charge will last, depending on what light setting you use. If you use the lowest light setting, like I have started to do, it lasts 10 hours!

Yes the lights will be on while charging. If the phone is in the case it will charge the phone first then the case. If you power the case off while charging, it will not charge the phone. I hope I was able to help you.

I don't usually run the system on a battery unless I take it somewhere besides my desk but the power light doesn't go off when the iphone turns off so I would assume that it is still sucking power from the dock.

My light (green) stay's on when charging. It goes off when complete. Mine only blinks when the battery is low. It sounds as if your battery might be faulty.I never use tech support on anything. They usually know less about their products than we do!

its really hard to read the lights to tell if its charging. I tried it a week ago and as far as i could tell it was charging and charging my phone at the same time. it just seemed a lot slower charging.

it just cannot be charged. It always keep out of power. When I charged it the lights blink all the time. But no power in it and I cannot use it to charge my iphone.

That's a good question. It stays on all the time, and seems to be indicative of whether the charger itself is getting power, not whether your device is fully charged. I have not been able to decipher whether it actually stops sending power to your device when the device is charged, so for that reason, would not buy it if that's the most important feature to you. However, it could work great for a night light for travel!
