This cable does not pass power to the tablet/phone, it injects power into the USB device ONLY.

Unfortunately you can't currently charge the device and have other devices connected to the Venue Pro. See this article for more detail: http://plugable.com/2014/01/03/need-to-knows-about-the-dell-venue-8-pro-with-plugable-products. You can however use this cable to inject power for the devices you have connected to the Venue Pro, for example, if extra power is needed to power an external hard drive.

I'm not sure. There should be. The Dell Venue 11 and the keyboard were a complete nightmare for me. There were so many issues the devices were not usable for any acceptable amount of productivity. On the keyboard issue, it would disconnect every 30 seconds to 2 minutes. Returned everything and got my money back. Best of luck with yours.

So far I have used this adapter with the Dell Venue Pro, the Toshiba Encore, the Asus Transformer for work, and my own Dell XPS 10, and Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 devices. I would say yes that it would work with the Dell 8 Pro. It's a simple adapter with the exception that it's an OTG adapter and not a standard adapter which makes it work with just about anything, especially those tablets, namely the Dell Venue, that only have one Micro USB port and it's the same one that is used for charging. A standard USB to micro USB adapter will not work with those types; you have to have a OTG USB to micro USB adapter for them. I would say that you are safe in purchasing since it's already proven to function correctly on the Dell tablet family.

This stylus only works with Wacom digitizers. The Dell Venue 8 Pro has a Synaptics Active digitizer, and therefore this stylus (Wacom Bamboo Feel) does NOT work with the Dell Venue 8 Pro. Just for the sake of completeness, there are Active (like the Wacom on MS Surface, Samsung Note etc. and the Synpatics on the Dell Venue 8 Pro) and Capacitative (like the iPad) digitizers. Capacitative and Wacom active digitizers do not use batteries. The Synaptics Active digitizer and the N-trig Active digitizer both require a AAAA battery inside the stylus to function. In my opinion, the Synaptics and the N-trig are both greatly inferior to the Wacom active digitizer. If the stylus is important to you, use a Wacom device.

I have never tried to use it while charging so I do not know.It worked quite well in Windows 7, but I cannot seem to get it to work properly in Windows 8.1.As a result of this, I no longer use the two units that I have.Has anyone had any real success with these in Windows 8.1?

Hi Alyssa; this device is a transmitter of power in the Qi standard -- Qi is a standard just like "NEMA-5-15" is a standard that describes how your power cords plug into your walls in the USA. This device speaks "Qi". The problem is that I don't see a Dell Venue 8 receiver for the power. Just as Radio has a transmitter (the station) and receiver (your radio, converting radio waves into sound), you need a Qi receiver that converts Qi power into power to charge your battery. I just did a search for "Qi Venue" and found no matches on Amazon; you might have better luck. The key is that "Qi" symbol: make sure that you have a Dell Venue case or adapter for Qi, and this or any other Qi transmitter will work with your Dell.

Nope. Looks like the USB ports are not powered while in recharge mode, even though the recharge port is dedicated to recharging.

I am using the adapter on a Dell Venue 8 Pro (Windows 8.1) and can confirm that the sound does pass through the HDMI connection to the TV. I can't say what the specific format (5.1, 7.1, etc.). Hope this helps.

I use mine w/ an DVI adaptor plug and it works. You also need USB port to use the touch, so two cables and the respective ports on each. It should work, just be sure to be able to return the Dell if it doesn't.

Well, using the WD 120GB External HD should give issues. as of now, it is working fine for me. Try to verify the USB2 Enhanced Host Controller should appear in the Device Manager. If you installed the Dell Notebook System Software at last, this might not work properly. Thanks

Yes, you can use it with a Dell Venue 8 Pro since the Venue 8 pro runs full x86 Windows 8. You will need to buy a Micro-USB 2.0 On-The-Go (OTG) Adapter to make it work. As Dec stated, the Venue 8 Pro will NOT charge when used like this, and since the Venue 8 Pro's USB port is only USB 2.0, you would only get USB 2.0 speeds out of the dock. The Displaylink stuff itself works well even over USB 2.0 so driving a 1920x1080p monitor shouldn't be an issue.

You will need to look and see if your phone/ tablet has full USB otg support. I googled and found this. Seems it has full usb otg support. Is this your phone? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2485648 I have a dell venue 8 android tablet. It does not have full USB otg support. On my dell venue 8 I can only use it to connect a flash drive or mouse/ keyboard. Now on my gs3 a much more popular device, It has full USB otg support. On my gs3 I can use it for syncing my ps3 controller and for a wired Xbox 360 controller.I can also use it for flash drives and most USB devices. To answers your question u would have to see if the lg g2 has full USB otg support.

Absolutely! Admittedly, I have only tried a total of 3 different brands (including the Dell Active Stylus....$39 I wish I could get back) but this is by far the best for use with the Venue 8 Pro! Bear in mind though that my usage does not include a lot of drawing or handwriting! What I am most amazed about is how well it works in a scenario where I'm launching a Remote Desktop session to another (Win 7) machine from my Venue 8. The precision it gives when manipulating files and folders in the RDP session is simply outstanding!

I've got room to spare on my Dell Venue 8 Pro, it allows up to 6" I believe. It should work.

This bag is for smaller compact tablets, I do not know what a Dell Venue 8 pro is, but an xbox controller would be ok but would not be ideal, My use consist of I pad mini with cordsI phone accessories, I use for a small sales bag for my company, really like it!
