    Active Pen/Stylus (Synaptics a la Dell 750-AAGN) working on Dell Venue 8 7000!

    I have figured out that the Dell stylus I had was malfunctioning as it was not going into standby mode. Therefore it was consuming about 20% of battery life per 24 hour period.

    Active Pen/Stylus (Synaptics a la Dell 750-AAGN) working on Dell Venue 8 7000!

    Micro SD card holder for Dell Venue 8 Android?

    Re: micro SD card holder for Dell Venue 8 Android This is a long shot...but I noticed the Nokia Lumia 1520 has a VERY similar looking microSD tray.

    SD Card Unexpectedly Removed

    Bumping this thread. I just purchased a used Dell Venue 8 7000 and everything is great except that on occasion (a couple times per day) the tablet will say that the microSD card has been unexpectedly removed. I am using a 64GB SanDisk Extreme (SDSDQXL-064G-A46A - 64GB) which has the following...
