Major PS4 System Software Update v2.0 Available NOW

Got the update, played a little Destiny, then put it into Rest Mode (why did they change that from Standby?). Tried to start my PS4 again about an hour later... nothing. Finally got it after pulling the power cord and plugging it back in. Anyone else?
 
It's the same with all apps, such as Netflix. They all suspend your game. Live from Playstation is different, as it isn't a separate app, but part of the main menu system.

I see. I didn't know that because I don't use any of the other apps. I'm still a little disappointed, though. I would have liked to be able to switch between the two seamlessly for game guides and trophy help and such.
 
I've been going in and out of Rest for the past 30 minutes with no issues.

To the people who reported an issue: did you actually give it time to finish? It seems like it takes a tad longer to prepare for Standby/Rest after the update, and I saw one post mentioned that the yellow light was still pulsing, which means it was still in the process of shutting down..

First time it "stuck", I had updated, messed around, logged out and was out for a good 90 min (6:30 til right around 8 AM). Wouldn't boot. During my testing with the fixes proposed, I wait about 3 to 4 min between going into rest and trying to bring it back up.

About 50% of the time, it's fine.....
 
I just posted what worked for me. I turned standby internet off, and rest mode worked. Then I turned it back on and it still worked. I don't know if that fixed it, or leaving my TV on through the whole process fixed it, or if it's pure coincidence.

I left my TV on throughout the process and it went to hard orange as usual. Before this update though I did have blinking orange issues if I shut my TV off prior to the signal being sent to it via HDMI to return to the input it was on prior to automatically switching to the PS4 input.
 
Hey what heck? I turned off my PS4 a couple of hours ago and now it's fully off. Before the update it would go in standby mode.

Guess I have to reconfigure that stuff...
 
ok, so it feels like I just downloaded a virus or something. cant find any of the updated features and now the system is acting glitchy. have you ever wanted something so bad, and when you got it, it wasnt what you expected. yeah......
 
As a person who doesn't own a PS4, what features are now missing? Suspend-Resume and MKV support? I want to jump in when the foundation is concerete. :)

Just rebuild database and if that doesn't work, reinstall the firmware.
 
Omg we can finally upload our videos directly to youtube!!! No more dealing with Facebook for my videos! Gonna be uploading hella more Driveclub videos now!
 
So I like the new home screen for the phone app. Seeing 6 of your friend that are online is nice, as is seeing some activity stuff.

But I could not facepalm any harder when I clicked into the friends list only to see it now defaults to "all friends". In what world would "online friends" not be the default? It always was before, but people wanted "all friends" instead? Yeah, no, they didn't. How could the team working on this app think this was a good idea? It's not possible.

confusing, the new PS App for iPhone does not allow direct PSN friend requests anymore. Only via SMS or Email?

Yeah, they did a great job at making that more confusing, but you can still send friend requests from the app. You have to hit the drop down menu, and go to "search". An incredibly dumb change.
 
Yeah, getting WS-37504-9 when viewing friends list and now recent activities aren't loading again. Guessing PSN is just getting hammered at the moment.
 
YouTube app playback looks like its still limited to 720p max like the other TV apps. Using the iPad app for browsing and starting videos on PS4 is instantaneous though.

The new rest shutdown screen looks nice. The friends online indicator blob is redundant and looks ugly downscaled when another top-row icon is highlighted.

Different background colours look nice but some colours highlight the shitty background 3D anti-aliasing more than others. I downloaded the free themes from the Japanese store and the rectangles 3D theme also suffers from the shitty AA.

Not just MKV, there's no video file playback whatsoever. And obviously this USB Player thing is just a temporary solution until they get DLNA implemented. I hope.
 
Is it a bug or is it by design that I get the Controller Notification popup every time I switch from a game back to the main UI? If it's by design, it's a terrible design.
 
Two things:

1) They really need to add the ability to hide things in the library. I don't need the Destiny Alpha and Beta to show up there anymore, as well as demos I never intend on buying (hello backgammon blitz)

2) Anyone with two step authentication on their gmail having trouble linking their YouTube account?

My personal list: DLNA, suspend/resume, folders, friend notifications and playing music/video directly off of the console.
 
It's because modern Android phones use MTP instead of the USB Mass Storage protocol. Sony needs to add USB MTP support for more recent phones to work

There are tweaks that are available for rooted phones, haven't got it to work yet but working on it.

Yup, a few of us. thread has a bunch of posts scattered throughout on the topic.
 
First so far, heard no other reports so far.


He might be able to recover it, update on USB and boot up into recovery mode.

The recovery mode in the PS4 is so much better than the PS3. I think it'll be pretty rare that we see complete bricks this time around.
 
Ugh these sorting options are even more barebones then I thought it was gonna be. Sony please how hard can it be to have it just like Vita where I can customize the order of the games in my library how I want it. Allow us to customize what games and apps show up in the main UI Bar, not just the 15 recent. Wii U and Vita do this right and it's just so much better.
