I haven't turned on my PS4 all week, should I just hold off until all of this is ironed out? sounds like a train wreck.
I wanted to watch some animes on crunchyroll tonight and was saddened that I was required to update to this broken firmware. But I thought, whatever, how bad it can it really be ?
Well, I got the usual 2 reboots and everything seemed fine. The main menu finally loaded up and it tried to get me to use voice commands so I quickly skipped that shit.
Perhaps 3 seconds later, a prompt came up that was trying to tell me that some of my cross bar items would not be on the immediately viewable list if it was larger then 15 items. But while it was calling that window up it crashed. Then it sat there frozen for 5 seconds or so and the PS4 shut itself off.
Well, I thought it had shut off anyway... as it turns out when I went to go manually turn it on with a button press it beeped once and did nothing. So I pressed power again and was greeted with a "rebuilding database" or something to that effect followed by a warning to not incorrectly power off the console.
It seemed to work fine after that ... well other then the blue screen of nothing when I attempt to access the store. Why don't they fix that issue ? I've had it since launch and it seems to be some kind of DNS error with accessing the store.
Anyway, I'm not overly impressed here. Perhaps it should have stayed in the cooker longer to deal with these issues ? There's no way they couldn't have known their firmware wasn't a tad buggy.
I cant say I'm impressed with the frame rate of ps4's xmb. Looks like dynamic themes are gonna cut the fps.
Wait what is wrong with the new rest mode? Is there some big bug?
I think part of the problem comes with the communities increased pressure for them to update the firmware to keep in line with the competition. I love the fact my X1 gets updated as often as it does but at the same time would hate it if every time they did it came out a buggy mess. I would have far preferred they spent the extra time required to have it done right the first time as none of the features they have added were critical to me enjoying my console but I'm pissed that having issues I didn't have before are now affecting my enjoyment of it.
The rest mode bug has happened to me and 4 others who have PS4s. I'd say it's pretty widespread at this point.
So I gather I can/should go ahead and install this firmware as long as I never enter Standby Mode? Is that correct?
Happened this morning. I didn't think much of it then eye'd this thread.Happened to me today
What can you do if your PS4 does t wake up?

Because being afraid of a blinking light is stupid.Are people still using rest mode? Why bother if there is a chance it could have a problem?
Yes, the drama around here is stupid.
Or go to sleep, in my caseA small number of ps4s wont wake up when in rest mode.
I don't understand why they renamed Standby to Rest Mode. But I've just been putting my PS4 into off mode.
The drama is because it's a simple and mostly harmless bug which can be avoided and you can still use the system.What "drama"? The OS has quite a few bugs and people are reporting on them. It's not like people are making shit up.

We still going with that? I'd say it's pretty widespread.A small number of ps4s wont wake up when in rest mode.
Ugh, geez, so dl'ed the update on Wednesday and hadnt played the system since. After downloading, turned the system off completely in menu.
Go to turn it on today via the button on front-doesnt work. Turn it on with controller - it turns on. BUT it freezes on "system health/settings" screen. Can't turn it back off with the button on front or the controller. I'm fucked right? :/
Pretty close to just powering down the system the worst way, but worried I might brick it.

Well you should be able to restore the firmware in safe mode if it does not start properly.
(Only if there is no real hardware fault)
I'm willing to bet there's a problem with your HDD.

In my experience, rest mode works in short intervals. 20min to 2hr = no problem. 3+ hour = freeze up.
Maybe because PSN works OK 95% of the time...
Because it was fine?
How so? Other than the lack of quality PS Plus games for PS4, I have had no complaints so far.
Right but it already takes them so long. What, do we need to give Sony another year for a working YouTube app?
