Smart Pad M8 OTG and Charge

I bought this tablet thinking that I could use the charging station it comes with to charge and use the micro USB port for an otg cable. However when I connect a micro usb otg it stops charging. If there anyway I can have it do both?

Hi @am24901,

 

Welcome to the Community!

 

I'm not sure if you can keep charging the tablet from the dock after connecting an OTG cable. I forwarded your question to my colleague and I will let you know here once I will receive an answer.

 

Best regards,

Hi @am24901,

 

I received a reply from our product team and it seems that Smart Tab M8 doesn't currently support the functions you asked about.

Hi

Which model of 10-inch Lenovo tablets can you charge simultaneously with OTG?
In other words, we can use both OTG and charge the tablet
Does the E10 Tablet have such a feature?

Hello @ pouyabj!

 

Thanks for posting here at the Community Forums!

 

Upon checking through the Tab E10's specifications, its Micro USB 2.0 port/connector only supports  data transfer and Power Delivery (charging) purposes.

 

With this, it means that you cannot use the OTG feature on this device and charge it at the same time as well.

 

You may view its complete specifications through this link.

 

It would be also advisable to get in touch with resellers in your area for recommendations of devices that will fit the feature that you're looking for though, the new Lenovo Tab P11 or Tab P11 Pro supports OTG but we cannot confirm or guarantee if it can also charge the device at the same time while OTG is in use.

 

The Tab P11's specifications can be viewed through this link.

 

You may also view the Lenovo PSREF site on your end to filter the Lenovo tablets that will allow you to see its specifications and features.

 

Thanks,

Adriel_Lenovo
