There's not a lot more i can say really mate. The message is as i have said really. White screen, message along the top and then some rubbish about sending to Microsoft, send or don't send. That's it!
I've had this before, from what I gathered on the net it is something to do with the drawing of the graphics on the screen. The advice I found was to simply turn off Windows Error Reporting so that you can ignore it. Its all I did and it worked for me
And if the graphics on the screen look alright to you, then there is no problem anyway!

That's one solution, yes. However, that it only 'masking' the issue. It'll still remain in the system won't it. All you're doing is like... well, ignoring the fact there is a fault which solves nothing!
Yes, but it's such a minor fault. And after a couple of days of not seeing that annoying message you'll find that you start sleeping well again.
The only other way to get rid of it is to remove recently added programs to see which one caused it, it will only be a minor incompatibility issue.

To suppress Error Reporting- go to Start/Settings/System and open Error Reporting, then disable it.

If it's done this from day one then is does sound like a corrupt ROM. You'll need to either ask for another TG01 under warranty or wait till xda release a ROM.

Results - Orange diagnostics test shows handset as FAULTY based on power test. Replacement arriving tomorrow.
Someone on Orange... do me and yourself a favour... ring 150, option 1, option 3 and tell them from time to time your phone is rebooting every now and then (even if it is not doing this) and could they run a test. I wanna know if they are ALL bugged in some way or another.
The good thing is, if you have any probs with your phone in the future, you can quote them that is was diagnosed as faulty so you have comeback so it's a win-win situation
If you decide to do this and they DO find a fault, great, no problem but if you've personalized your phone, be polite and tell them 'well, i think i'll stick with it another week but you have it on record now anyway eh' and they'll be fine with it.
Honesty eh... damn, what a concept!
Yep, check out my post about GPS problem. Orange said that was a fault and a replacement was sent next day, guess what, I still have the same fault on this one. Hope you have better luck!

Seriously I really hate to be a complainer, and start another one of these threads.But I have no choice....got my Prime today from BB and well everything else works fine.....except the WiFi won't turn on....after a few mins of it "turning on" it says "error"....
Did several wipes and factory reset...nothing
Called ASUS and he tells me do everything I already did....
I also downloaded lastest firmware off of ASUS site and updated...still nothing....
I think they forgot my antennas...lol
Help please! And thanks.....
Nothing huh?
Ok.....
That sucks. RMA it and complain like crazy until they give you free stuff. Tell them its unacceptable especially after having to wait so long to get it.

Well that's insightful...except it was like this out the box...
Have you tried resetting the wifi router or trying a different wifi location? Wifi can have compatibility problems when mixing wifi specifications. Also routers sometime assign an IP without the device properly connecting and then not releasing it properly.
I have this problem with my Nexus One every now and again. Reboot the router usually fixes it. I also had a Windows Mobile phone in the dark ages of my life that only connected to 1 or 2 of the 10 different wifi spots I would hit.
Other than that sounds like an RMA is in your future.
Ok let me be clearer....the WiFi on the Prime won't turn on...not connect...it just won't turn on...which means it doesn't get as far as connecting...
That stinks =(
Will BT turn on? And have you tried getting a GPS lock? Just some additional things to mention when and if you RMA.
Bluetooth works fine.....don't really care about GPS...with WiFi it'll work....

Can you explain "won't turn on"? Because when I would have this happen on other Android Devices there was not much feedback between turning on or connecting. You basically would check the box and nothing would happen. I would have to use a log monitor, 3rd party app or login to the router to get more information on the process.
Of course, the Prime is my first Honeycomb device, so maybe it gives more feedback then I am used too.
If it definitely is not actually coming on then it is certainly defective and you should return it or RMA. I would recommend returning because you deserve a new device and not a repaired one. Also its unlikely a retailer would check for any rooting.
Try draining the battery till its turns off by itself then charge for a couple of ours and see it loads the driver

Did the Wifi ever work? Mine was set up automatically when I first turned the tablet on. Did you go through that initial setup as well? Did it fail to connect from the beginning? I never had to "turn mine on" from the start. Did you disable the wifi radio at some point for some reason?

Thanks will try but I did do a factory reset and data wipe (hold down vol down and power) and that didn't work....
I don't know linux but I think there is a command called dmesg or something like that that will log the last few things that are going on. Maybe with a terminal app you could get a log right as you try to enable wifi. Some one might know the.command.

I'm not good with the command stuff, but ill try anything to figure this out...
Anyone knows if/how I can use 'wireless tether' on my phone to get a connection using the Bluetooth option instead of WiFi? Thanks.
If it didn't work on the initial boot when you got it, then I would assume there's an issue with your wifi radio. I would call ASUS and RMA it. No reason it shouldn't work from stock. Software won't fix that.
Or hope best buy B&M have them by next week and exchange it...
with the new ICS coming just around the corner, I have tried to do so research on it, but still do not know a couple of things, is it smoother, and there seem to be a wifi issue, sometimes I have to keep manually connecting to the wifi after unlocking the screen, will that still be an issue. I think for me that was one of the big issues sothey must have fixed it with the ICS update.
Wifi has not been resolved. I am fine when not hibernating but even with it set to stay on it always disconnects when the screen goes off or in the cradle. Sucks but nothing I lose sleep over.

The wifi issue is easily solved by downloading "Advanced Wifi Lock" from the market. Just install that and it's instantly fixed!
Worked! Yay, thank you.

Issue hasn't been resolved YET. ICS has not been released and as far as I am aware 3.2.1r2 was the last update issued anywhere and the WiFi issue was only just starting to become apparent when that was pushed out. Give Sony a chance to work it out.
I was watching qvc this morning and they are selling a coby tablet that has ICS on it. Lol
I wish we can get it already.
The tablet s I bought here has no issue with the wifi problem mentioned.
Most of the times, I don't have that problem, but I think it's just the reconnection that is fast enough to not bother me.

Hmm I thought this was normal and always the case. Mine connects quick in half a second or a second.
But the issue if its even called an issue, the feutre I would like is when Im downloading something the needs the internet I would like for it to keep the internet connection active/on while it goes into standby mode where the screen goes black on its own depending how many minutes if you have the timer for, or if you manualyy put it in lock mode by hitting the power button one time.

Ok, I don't do that on the tablet, only small downloads, so I never had that problem, but if even with active transfer of data the connection is dropped, than it's really an annoying bug

Which firmware version are you on then?? Mine is THMAS0032400.
Here I am again, and mine also have the "never disconnect wifi" option selected and works ok. I put a big file copying from my lan, then the tab entered in the standby mode, and after a while I checked again and the file was copied, so no connection dropped in my case. And I also remembered that even in standby I hear the new emails notification and the green light starts blinking also, so no drops here.
Mine has THMAS0112400, 3.2.1 r2, kernel 2.6.36.3, Portuguese edition.

You see it all depends what version each tablet s has or something, cause some works some dont. I did change my option to "never" but it doesnt work must be a bug.

I've noticed that the smart stay feature does not work at all on my phone. I'm talking to the point where it's like the feature is turned off but is actually on. I never see that little eye icon flashing up top and my phone is always locking on me when I'm trying to use it. Does anyone else have this problem? Is there a fix for this or do I need a software update? It's really a shame because this was one of the features I thought wasn't too gimicky and actually useful.
I purchased the phone through AT&T's pre-order online.

Just to be sure, you do have the setting turned on? I haven't used the feature very much myself, I'm on CM10, but on my girlfriends I had to manually go in settings and turn it on for it to work on hers.
Yep, have the featured turned on in the settings.
Yeah, like id_twin posted are you sure it is checked?
For me the feature never worked all that great anyways. I just knew when an eye flashed in my status bar it was time to touch the screen because it would be going to sleep. lol.
Edit: Never mind you already answered while I was typing. You didn't change any other settings that could have conflicted with the smart stay feature perhaps? Not sure there is any just throwing it out there.

I was starting to guess that. I wear glasses a lot too so I was guessing maybe it had a hard time picking my eyes up from that?
Are you holding the phone in landscape...and possibly covering the front cam?
The light is the key for me.
In my bedroom, may be 10% working. In Living room (plenty of lights) works every time :good:
So I've been searching around for some sort of solution, or even someone having the same thing happen to them as me, but I haven't found anything.
Whenever the phone is either plugged in, unplugged, or a phone call is answered, my phone disables automatic brightness. I wanna know if this happens to anyone else and if there is a way to get it to not disable, thanks.
