As long as it is docked, and it is connected to a USB port it will charge. I have mine tied into a Plantronics RIG headphone which hooks my phone, and my computer together. I flip back and forth between Skype, TeamSpeak, Vent, Cell Phone, MP3 Player etc. at the flip of a toggle on the RIG unit. All the while it is always charging, and I can even flip the switch on the back of the RND Dock to go between a desktop mode and a USB mode so I can access and move files between my Cell Phone and my PC any time I want. I have 2 RND Docks, one for my Office, one for my night stand. I also recommend the Plantronics Rig with this docking station if you want to keep your gaming head set on, flip the toggle and answer your cell in the middle of play without any undue distraction. I can also use the same for my Xbox or plug it directly into my cell phone without the RIG USB. http://www.amazon.com/Plantronics-Stereo-Gaming-Headset-Xbox-360/dp/B00EV00MZ8/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1404457562&sr=8-2&keywords=plantronics+rig

Yes. Using the supplied charger and cable I can listen to music while charging.

No, charging is done via the USB connector. The audio output jack takes a headphone audio plug and is only mono out.

Yes, you can play music and accept calls while charging. You can leave it plugged in, it works while plugged in and unplugged.

No. In fact it should play while your even charging it. Looks like you my have a lemon. I would exchange. It's worth the time. It's an awesome little speaker for the money. Also it will last a very long time on a charge.

Yes you can connect to the speaker and play music as you normally would while the speaker is charging.

Yes it does charge your device while listening to music even when you turn it off ( and its pluged in) it will still charge your devise. As if its compatible with iPhone 4 I' m not sure as I have an iPhone 5 and only use this with my iPod but I think some of the other reviewers gave you good feedback on that.

I only know that i need to charge it when it stops playing music, but it can be in the on or off position to charge, i prefer the off position though because it charges faster. there is no indicator for it charging however.

Not to charge the phone, no. I don't dock my phone but my cord to play music in my car wouldn't fit with this case.

Not in the dock on top unless you buy an extension piece. There is a USB plugin in the back that you can plug in your own cord to that will charge it

You can use your phone while it is charging. You could have any app open, including music apps. But I don't think that it'll play the music over the speakers in the car. It doesn't in my car.

yes, you can charge it while the case is on. However, if you have an ihome or any speakers that the phone plugs into the case does need to come off.

Yes, It will while you play music or videos or even if you want to use it for charging only.

No. You can put it on the dock and it will charge. When it is detached from the dock it will work. But If your battery is low on your phone Bluetooth/connection will cut in and out.

It may charge but it def won't play music , you would b better off getting the aux one , this only works for usb drives

it does charge but in order to play music you have to use the 3.5mm jack. it is not at all like an ipod where one cable does it all. you have a mini usb to charge and a 3.5mm to play the music..

Yes you can use this while charging. Depending on the volume, this will result in some static/noise, but I've only experienced this turning it all the way up just to see if there was noise from charging.
