Dell Venue 8 Pro Wifi Sleep Issue?
There is no question Dell hit a solid triple with their 8-inch Venue 8 Pro Windows 8 mini-tablet. A great value at $299 indeed. No device is without its quirks and the Venue 8 Pro is no exception. A number of users have reported a WiFi issue where it goes to sleep and doesn’t want to wake backup preventing users from getting online.

I had a different issue yesterday with DV8P. It was not restarting or shutdown. I got confused for a while. The battery was at 10%. I left it like that for a while, battery stuck at 10% and the system didn’t respond properly. Had hit the power button so many times, and when the screen to drag it to shutdown came, I pulled it, but no use. It straightaway goes back to login screen. I charged it for good 2 hours, normally it would’ve charged completely by then. But here no. I thought i’ve had a lemon. I searched internet and no use. Finally I tried pressing power button and Windows button together and that did it.
I hope your issue gets worked out too and soon. Hopefully the data is getting sent back to Dell and they are already working on a permanent solution.
