there is only so much current available in a USB port. If you use it all running the device there is none left to charge the battery. As a matter of fact it is possible for the battery to run down while it is plugged into a computer if there is not enough current available to keep up with the activity. The AC charger will output 1000 mA while a Computer only does 500 best case and depending on additional loads from other devices it might have only 100 mA left available.
