unless i'm missing something it seems that now every time i pin a bookmark from IE then it can't be removed at all from the pinned list.

Anyone else in the beta getting an update that isn't downloading?

I got an update last night and it took about 30 Mins or longer to update.

I went to the offline dashboard and it seems to have fixed it, downloaded, restarted and downloading the new version pretty quickly.

It would be nice to get an ios update too so we can test the phone app with the beta.

I suspect we're going to see that before the end of the beta.

Could be as fast as a few hours, or as long as 24.

Because they're stored online. It's like asking why Facebook doesn't when you're offline.

Its still a good question. Why the hell should pins be stored online?

So people with multiple Xboxes, or who go to friend's houses, etc. will have their pins when they sign in.

Fair enough, then I should rephrase.........why is it saved ONLY online? Obviously some people would want to use the feature when they aren't online or have no option to be.

Fair enough. I'd also like the option to sort more aspects of your game library. Such as "Games on demand", etc.

Deal! I'll even throw in the option cache the cover and background art so it doesn't sit and waste time downloading them when you're in the Game Library.

Are you in this beta? I think the game art loads really fast now.
Mine boots so slow.
Had a weird bug during Hulu. The controller went off, by the end of an ep. Turned the controller on, but the screen stayed dark. Hit B, and I got a turn off Xbox pop-up. Closed that, and I could RB/LB and heard blade/metro sounds. But all while the Hulu screen from an ep was up. Held the guide again, and this time the screen lit up. Strange is strange.

Mine has done that often in the past 2 years or so, no idea why and it seems random.

I thought that was normal? My Xbox usually keeps blinking for a few seconds after shutting it down.

Yeah, mine takes a while to turn off too. It's been like that since a few updates ago.
That is cloud storage syncing I believe

Anyone else download the Happy Wars Beta from the Beta Channel?
Kind of wonder if this deserves a new thread?

Downloading... thanks!
It's just before settings tab. It's new.
Happy Wars is good. If it has a good online community then it could be fun.

I'm content with IE for now. wont replace my pc's web browser but for novelty and convenience in the future I could see it being useful rarely.
any IE shortcuts with the chatpad or controller that I should know about?

Yep, massive improvement from the 2011 dashboard.
Played a few matches of Happy Wars online and the game is surprisingly polished, cute, and fun. I played as a cleric and the game glitched when I built a ballista, it would constantly be destroyed and rebuild itself, I got 18,000 XP my first game and leveled up to level 16 my first game.

I'm on my 3rd day, no update yet. Is there something I'm supposed to be doing?
xemumanic
Member
Yes I am. Indeed, its faster, much faster, But not only is the background art slow to load, its as low to load as it ever was. That's why I'd like to see this stuff cached.

I seem to be the only one to have everything slower. Pressing the guide button is slower. Having my games load is slower. Like everything with this dashboard is slower. And now i have to search for games in the marketplace rather than be able to just push buttons on titles a-z unless i go to an individual category, such as arcade or games on demand, but what if i just want a normal game? Anyway it's really slow this dashboard compared to my old one at least. VERY slow. I've been regretting signing up for the beta since the first day when i realized that the only bonus is internet explorer and pins and it got rid of quick launch and it made everything slower.

Weird, make sure to report that. Everything is faster for me too. But I'm really aware of that frontpage ad suddenly, and I hate it.

The browser is quite impressive. Neogaf just flies on that thing.
