Wow, I'm really glad I checked this thread. I just bought my ps4 the day that 2.0 came out so the rest function has never worked for me. When my ps4 goes into rest mode (fell asleep while watching netflix), the orange light blinks and the fans turn on full speed. Ugh. I'm glad it's a system bug and not my new system.

I can't believe they still have not fixed this.
I've had that rest mode issue two times now, switching back to fully powering it off. Hate it when that yellow light just keeps on pulsing and I have to pull the plug.
Hope they fix it soon.
I'll try this out first.

I also leave my pc in standby, im not really worried about the 20w its using for 8 hours it translates to like 3$ more a month on my bill.
The rest mode issue is driving me mad. The only option for me to charge my controller seems now seems to be.
1) Play and charge, however the supplied USB cable is too short.
2) Leave the console fully on and then turn off when my controller is charged.
3) Let it charge in rest mode and pull the plug when I want to use the PS4 again
If any of these fixes work or anyone has a better idea, please let me know.

Changing USB charging under power options to "Always" fixed the rest mode problem for me. Also resolving Youtube issue might have contributed to my fix.
You plug the USB cable on a PC or in a wall socket with a cell phone charger. Besides iPhone all modern phone use micro usb.

So far we've seen these random fixes posted all over the place:
1) change USB power to always
2) take out the disc
3) update Playroom
4) doing a total restore and reinstall of the firmware from within Safe Mode (ugh)
4.1) going into safe mode and doing a database rebuild (fix suggest by Sony?)
5) verifying your PSN email
6) re-registering your PSN email
7+) sacrificing a small animal and eating its heart to gain its power
It would be good for people to stop coming up with random fixes and saying "this worked for me! it must be the fix!" and actually testing things multiple ways.
To be honest, I didn't have the problem at all until this morning. The only thing that changed between yesterday afternoon, when it worked, and this morning, when it didn't work, is that I downloaded Samurai Warriors 4 and had added my Japanese PSN account to the system. when I get home from work I'm going to do a full shut down and try going back to rest mode before anything. If that doesn't work i'm going to change the USB power. Try it set to 10 minutes (the new default, it seems), then always on and then off. If this is fruitful we may be onto something as, IMO, this seems the most likely culprit. But, again, I'm going to ACTUALLY TEST IT (unless someone else wants to try).

It would take several days to test things multiple ways for most people, because the problem seems to only appear when the system has been "resting" for several hours.
Indeed, many speculate it has to do with any the online checkin or file update/download during rest, so it wont show up as an issue instantly, but after a while.
Updating to 2.0 for me reset my HDMI full settings to limited, so see if yours got changed.

I actually just tested the USB power options and there was no change. Each time the orange light started the steady pulsing that comes with the unit being stuck in rest.
I just did the database rebuild so I'll see what happens soon.

GAF this update has bricked my PS4 I think.
Can't power on the PS4 just makes a beep when I press the button.
Unplugged and tried again, nothing.
Held button in for like a minute, nothing.
Wut :I
EDIT : it just powered up, spit my disc out and now won't come back on >.<
The game was Ghosts. I think it's trying to tell me something

I learned my lesson with PS3 to not install updates day 1. Still haven't updated, though their isn't much of a reason to right now.

Nevermind: Looks like you have another issue, sorry.
I've confirmed the rest mode bug absolutely has to do with having a disc in the tray (at least on my system). I have reproduced it 100% of the time since getting COD:AW on disc as I haven't played a disc based game in months. COD:AW in tray when system enters rest = hang. Eject before entering rest = no hang. Eject your discs before entering rest mode people.
CONFIRMED!!!!!!! I usually play disc based games and leave a disc inside all the time. My PS4 have been have the rest mode bug since the update, so I've just been turning the PS4 off. I took the disc out and everything works fine now!!!
Edit: just fyi my PS4 is a launch console.

Nah I've had similar weird issues with the rest bug.
I've found that if it just beeps and doesn't power on;
- pull the power cord
- press the power button on the PS4 (beeps and tries to turn on with residual power left in PSU)
- plug power cord back
- power on again (it'll beep, shut down briefly and power on again)
I've been shutting it down completely to avoid the issue but my kids still just hit the power button and put in rest mode.

I've had a disc in the entire time and no issues.

Thanks that worked.
What triggers it does seem pretty random. I had no problem the first time I played COD:AW but every time after the first it has hung on rest. I don't know if the disc triggered it to start happening but taking it out resumes normal rest operations in my case. I've repeated it 5 or 6 times its past the point of coincidence.

Did anybody run into any problems while they pre-loaded CoD in rest mode?
Same here, I took the game disc out, in my case drive club. Everything works fine now. Every time before I had a Game disc in a and it would hanged up in rest mode. I'll put a Game disc back in and try it out.

Same here. Destiny hasn't left my PS4 since launch. I've only encountered the rest mode but once so far, though. I have an upgraded hard drive. There's been no mention of that variable, but just thought it relevant to note.
It's gotta be the cause. I never had it happen once before I put a disc in the drive. It's 100% reproducible here.
EDIT: I also have an upgraded hard drive but I don't think it's a factor as rest mode worked for so long after the upgrade.
Thanks, mine is set to auto like everything else in there.

As a product/test engineer I am really surprised how poor sony's validation/test plan was for verifying this release. My rest mode is completely broken w/ disc in like many others. I just resort to turning my PS4 all the way off.

My PS4 is fine but my brother's PS4 has been turning off after playing for 15min to an hour. This happened right after the update and he's never had an issue with his PS4, so it's VERY suspect with everyone having issues. When my brother turns on his PS4 (after unplugging it to wake it out of rest), it warns him about not doing so even though it's the only way to get it out of slumber. It's annoying because we want to play CoD:AW together and can't.
Ok, I placed a Game disc back inside and the rest mode bug came right back. It's 100% legit. Took the disc out then rest mode works fine. Also I have a lunch PS4 with stock HDD.
That's how it was with me, take the disc out then try putting it in rest mode. If it works for you like us, then we just found a temporary remedy. This is 100% legit.
Edit: also when I had a Game disc inside, I heard the bluray drive did a quick spin up like it was trying to load the game right before it started flashing orange. It didn't do that before the update.

+1 on thinking a game left in the drive is the issue with Rest Mode. It doesn't happen every time when I have a disc in, but the few times Rest Mode has hung up on me, I heard the disc spin up as the light was pulsing white, then continued to pulse orange.
Without a disc in the drive, Rest Mode has been flawless for me since the update.
My PS4 turned on its own for the first time after this update too. I'm just gonna keep it off until they release a fix.

Legitimately the first correct use of stability by Sony for an update?
Lol, just when we figured it out. Lol.
They must have just gotten the idea from NeoGAF. Believe.
LMAO. They would've figured out the cause pretty quickly I imagine, they'd have access to system logging etc which would make it really easy to see what the cause was.
Ran the update... We'll see if this fixes the problems.
By the way, I had tried the "no disc in the system" too, and that did not work for me.
Every early suggested fix appeared to address the issue, temporarily, at best.. None of the recommendations worked in the long run though. Now, it's too late to experiment any further on 2.00.

Same here, none of the suggested changes helped long term. Overnight it would still break regardless of settings employed.

Cross-posting from the other thread:
So...the rest mode issue still isn't fixed for me. :/
I started the download for The Crew beta, and put the console into rest mode. It's been about two hours now (more than enough time for the download to finish), and the orange light is still blinking, and I can't turn on my PS4 with the controller or by pressing the power button.
Sigh...
