I think the main issue is they rarely expect you to be sitting on the dash doing nothing, and the boxes cover up almost all of the space anyway.

Hmm, I just voted on it a few minutes ago...0_o?
Just for the "Expanded Friends area on Home" feature I think.
Don't we have a limited number of votes we can cast per account?

Just downloaded and installed, the featured section was missing after the first boot a second boot fixed it.
I like the new look of the friends app. The list on the left is a lot more practical now that the friends/followers/etc have been moved to the top of the friendslist in a drop down list. The comments section reminds me of Facebook in a good way. And last but not least the popular with friends sections is a welcome addition.
Only wish that those three lists would be moved a bit higher so that more of the screen space would be used by default, and more info would be visible without the need to scroll down. I understand that it would clash with the Xbox logo, but why is that even there inside of the friends app.
) you'll notice it and it changes your view of the object. My Windows 8 metro desktop is filled to the brim but that doesn't keep me noticing the background.

I rather have some colours than a black void, even when it's in the back (duh background

Can someone send me an invite? I'd like to disable certain notifications while I'm watching House of Cards.

At last. Downloading now. Gotta love these monthly updates! 
Agreed. Looks a lot nicer.

It's a hardware failure that could exist in the controller or the console, most likely the console. If you don't have another controller to determine which one is the cause I can't really blame MS for wanting to see your console. Besides how would you'd use it without a controller in the first place, in games of course.

You don't need to use the beta app unless you want to take advantage of new app features, at least this has been the case in the past.

Bit annoyed I haven't got the new Friends section in the update. Fuck knows what criteria Microsoft use to determine who tests what.
Everything else works just fine though.

If you want to use the latest features, then I would assume so, yes.
Hold down the power button for 15 seconds. Once it's off, unplug it for 2 minutes, then unplug the Kinect and plug everything back in. Those sound like really weird issues, and typically doing a hard reset will fix those.

Not yet you won't!
I have the beta app on my phone, but for my Surface Pro last time it said I needed an update for it to work when the consumer release of the July update hit. Very annoying.
I wanted to report a problem, but I failed to download the feedback app LOL
Anyway when liking clips from Upload, I hated that the menu would pop up after pressing "option", and if I press "A" BEFORE the white outline highlighted the option, it would instead play the clip in fullscreen. So I would have to wait a certain amount of time to like a clip.
It would be better if once you press option, pressing "A" didn't play the clip while the "option menu" was loading.

In power and startup, what does "When Xbox is off, turn off storage" mean?

Its not yet been added in the update. Check the OP...
Who would have thought?
Between MS and Sony I would agree. I'll admit I'm envious of all these updates. It feels like progress is being made on the CBS.

Loving the new friends list. This is truly like a Facebook for Xbox.

They need to update the app, but you can at least "Allow 3D" in Settings -> Display & sound.
Has been like this since February or March. Not only is the new description wrong (you should also use PC on your TV) but I would really like it if they finally fix this broken ass full rgb output.

So you can change the setting but it won't function yet?
Ok, hopefully soon. Sometimes they updates these things twice within a week.
Yeah, the activity feed has been screaming for them to add these features from the start. Huge improvement

This update broke changing channels with voice I've never had issues and now when I say watch NBC screen goes black and no channel change but using my remote works perfect they broke something that has worked for me since day one.
