New Venue 8 Pro ??

Does it take a while for everyone's device to turn on after pressing the power button? It usually takes around 13 secs from pressing the power button to boot up the dell logo.

Also, the device does not stay in sleep mode when put into sleep after a while, instead, it seems to shut off but can resume from where I left off when turned on. Is there a way to stop the device from doing this and instead just sleep so it will turn on automatically rather than waiting for it to boot again?

 

There is a setting, I believe under battery and power or something like that, with a check box that says "save battery when the pc knows I'm away" or something like that. Make sure this is unchecked. Otherwise, your tablet will enter hibernation.

 

Thanks. I found the setting. Hopefully this fixes that but won't increase the battery drain too much.

 

Here is the official pen for the 5855 https://www.amazon.com/Dell-Active-...F8&qid=1488355188&sr=8-1&keywords=dell+stylus

Works great but I think there is a design flaw physically. The cap part of it with the clip seems to wear out after some time and just slips off. Its only supposed to screw off to replace the battery, but the cap is actually 2 pieces, the cap itself, and the part that screws into the writing part of the pen, and the cap will separate over time. this happened with 2 pens, its like some weak adhesive. Should have been just one piece that screws in.

 

Almost two year and half, mine still works fine. Good for taking notes and surfing.
