Will it reduce phone or pad ability to hold charge? Also, can device (phone, pad) be used while charging with this charger?

No. But it is best practice to only charge a phone when it has lees than 20% battery. Yes you can use the device and charge at the same time.

Probably; as the current draw increases the port's voltage will drop and the charging device will stop increasing its current draw. I got it primarily for one phone I had that would only charge on a few chargers leaving me stranded frequently - it seems the phone expected a voltage on the data pins to indicate a charger rather than a port; this corrects that problem. I also got a couple of USB volt- / am-meters to keep an eye on things and sort out chargers by power capability.

It recommends not charging with a cover or case due to the phone needing to be very close to the pad for it to charge. Any more distance than just a few millimeters will prevent charging. I use my case with no problems, but it is very thin. Also, heat retention with a case could possibly be an issue too as the phone does get warm during charging. Hope this helps.

I used it with my camera charger and my phone charger and it worked great. Didn't have an I Pad or I Pod, so I can't answer that because I don't know how they charge.

Yes it's only charging won't affect anything else...I've used it while driving & using my gps. works great!

As with any electronic device, it will lose some charge if not charged in between. With this particular back up, it's negligible. I wouldn't let it go a month without charging though, but I'm also slightly neurotic about making sure my charger is powered.

The charging pad did not affect the case. It is made to fit inside, with only a very slight bulge.

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.

You would have to take off one of the pins on the pad. I believe only 2 pins are used for wireless charging and the others are for the s view.

It is charging my rooted HP Touchpad running Android as I type this, but pretty much all chargers that output 5v1A do so. It's possible that the people saying it doesn't charge are running the stock operating system. I wouldn't expect anything except the OEM charger to work if it's not running Android.

As like anything else that doesn't have an auto shut-off, Yes, it will continue to use Power while charging at the same time!Always remember to turn it off!It will still charge, but, it'll take quite a bit longer with it on than off!I hope this clears things up for you.

I have the same phone, as does my husband. His case is different than mine, he can use the charger in the case, and I can't. It has to do with the shape of the cutout around the charger socket. I can hold it in place and get a charge, but it's kind of at a slant and I'm sure that's not how it's meant to be used. It does work well, the best solution would be to get a different case, check the opening before you buy it. A less ideal solution would be to carve out a little more space around the opening on the one you have.

Yes you can use it while charging, i think it may be a tad bit uncomfortable with that cord hanging off of it while your using it, especially with the way it plugs in.

If your phone is already built for wireless charge, I would not advise this device. IT attaches a small dongle to the charge port to enable wireless charge ability. I don't know if it works without that thing or not. Just get one the normal pads or pillows instead.

Yes it will work with the wireless charging pad and will allow cords to be plugged in without taking it off.

It does charge more slowly than a standard wired charger. I have not tested to see to what degree but I find the convenience of simply laying the phone on the pad instead of wearing out cables to be an excellent trade-off.

Hi, you don't have to take it out of the case BUT the placement on the charging pad must be exact (once you find it by trial and error). Any movement of phone from that found position will stop charging process. So overall, not ideal, but it kinda works....
