Thanks, I'll stop using rest mode then.

you aren't going to get an admission of a problem through a random support person handling their twitter until Sony comes out and officially acknowledges that there is an issue

I don't think it's unreasonable to expect their official support channel to be in the loop/informed on problems and the plans to fix them.
There's been plenty of these standby mode freeze issues prior to 2.0.

nope, I had the same problem, check if the system's vents are on, 'cause mine were (quietly ventilating)
In my case, the only time I have ever had trouble with the ps4 not booting or flashing orange or white lights, etc. is because of hdmi issue. I have hdmi going through an a/v receiver and then back to tv and sometimes it doesn't sync properly. I have to unplug hdmi from back of ps4 and then power it off and on and it usually comes back on and then I can plug the hdmi back in. This has only happened a couple times though.
yeah, real world does not work like that... there is no way that engineers can know this fast, let alone some support personnel.
When iOS 8.0.0 released few weeks back, there was clusterfuck of issues that they attempted to fix with 8.0.1 one week later that broke cellular reception for many people then they issued 8.0.2 to fix that... month later they did 8.1 and wifi reception still not fixed.
Those are just realities of large updates... luckily it is not bricking systems.

I'm not saying they need to know why it's happening yet, or have a fix already - just say yes it's an issue they are aware of and looking into it.
It would take no time at all for their account to tweet out a single sentence like that.

Ok, well I (and a lot of other people here) didn't have this issue until after the update. It's not a coincedence.
I couldn't hear anything no, but I want listening for the fans. So, I held down the power button for around 20 seconds, and the console shut down completely. When it powered back on it went through a system scan thing and then rebooted. I then got a message saying the console hadn't been shut down properly. It's working tho.
I mentioned this in another thread, but will do so here as well.
Try going to rest mode while playing a youtube video (or if you don't have youtube, do it while playing a game with a network component active)

what i meant is that they aren't going to let some random dude monitoring their twitter to provide the first affirmation that there is a problem. sure once sony's officially approved some PR response to post/get out there...they'll start replying to your inquiries accordingly.

Well back to flashing orange again, hurry up Sony and patch this rest bug.

Pulling the cord
Holding power
Safe Mode restart.

Jeez, after reading about this all day I got home and saw that my PS4 had the pulsing orange light so I picked up my DS4 to try to turn it on and apparently the controller had been on all night :/
I pulled the plug, it ran a check when I powered it on and everything seems to be working now but how widespread is this really?

Well there are a lot of people on these forums talking about it happening. On top of that those who think they fixed it may just be fooling themselves as it seems to come back after a period of time.
Based on that I would say it is more than a few and less than everyone ;p

Just updated, no issues so far.
I was expecting a wider themes selection but I guess they will be coming later one.
I wish we could choose the music and sounds effects. Love the ones of paper sculpture but I'm not a fan of the actual image, and I like the rectangular theme but the music is weird.

I think whoever said that going into rest with a game running is the problem is on the right track. I tried rest right after the update and then again just now without loading anything and both times it seems to be fine.
Such a strange thing for the engineers to not have tested though.

How to fix Youtube Upload and sign in issues:
If you have previous attempted and can't sign into Youtube or use Upload Features try this:
Go into your google account settings, Account Permissions and revoke access to PSN.
Go back to PS4, link to other services, and re-sign in and you should see a access grant list, approve it.
Upload and Youtube Access will now work.

ok sure....but definitely not on the scale that it is now since 2.0
I mentioned earlier that I could not upload to YouTube, a similar problem like a lot of others where having where it wouldn't link or when it did the upload failed.
Well, I just created a whole new fresh youtube/Gmail/Google account and the linking to my PSN account went without a hitch. Uploaded 2 videos with no problems at all.
Now, I switch back to my main youtube account and again it won't link and when it does the upload fails again.
Tried my new account again and it worked without an issue.
Could someone who is having youtube problems try this also?

Tried this before, gave it another try just now & still got the 'An error occurred...' message during after allowing access.
Edit:gave it one more shot and it went through and the upload worked...huzzah
This YT solution works but it's bad for people with a Youtube channel.
The thing is.
If we go here with your new account, we'll see this permission.
https://security.google.com/settings/security/permissions?hl=en
And can upload videos.
With my principal account this permission doesn't exist and I think thats the problem.

There is something seriously wrong with the way Sony has decided to handle saves on the PS4. Going through my online data they now display actual file sizes rather than just the general 11MB, but every single save is 10.5MB+, every single one regardless of what information that save is for. Which means in total, assuming no save is bigger than 11MB, we will be able to upload about 90 save files.
Now I don't know about anyone else, but I had to delete a ton of saves that were rather useless because my online storage was full with no knowledge of this, meaning the last month or so of save games haven't been uploaded. Just looking in the Minecraft folder there is for some reason 2 save games per world, which means for the 4 worlds along with profile data I am taking up over 100MB for one game. Trails alone was taking over 200MB, and I barely played that came when it came out and never went back. What in the world are they sticking in these saves to make them so big?
It isn't the biggest issue now, but with so many games coming out in the next couple months and the crazy amount of releases for 2015, what space is left is going to disappear fast. I can't remember ever having this issue on the PS3.

I had this issue as well today. Had to delete a ton of saves as I ran out of space. One Drive Club ghost save was 100+ megs!

Are you sure its Sony and not the devs? There was that one NBA2K14 bug where the save file was gigantic. Took up like half my cloud storage.

Huh, there was an mp4 video in the drive folder I put my test music into and the system recognized the audio stream. It was split into chunks but interesting none the less.
Anyone else notice this?

That seemed to work, thanks. My PS4 crashed tho when I started uploading a video and I got an error report, which I sent to Sony. Anyone else get that?
I swear I'm having so many problems with my console today it's giving me a sore head.
I had the blinking orange light/lockup happen to me a couple times in the past before this patch. It always occurred if I turned my TV off prior to the PS4 fully going into sleep mode. That's with HDMI Device Link enabled. I've put it to sleep about 5 times since 2.0 and no lockups yet.
Put it in rest mode while watching a youtube video or playing an online game

No problems here using rest mode.
Nope I done a shutdown before and when I turned it back on it wouldn't start, controller wouldnt sync so had to use power button and let it rebuild.
My PS3 died after an update my PS4 better be OK.
