MS said they are aware of this. I believe it's quite rare.
They said hold in the power button for 10 seconds and it should go away. Or power off for 10 seconds(unplug).

The next update should fix the issue

"Quite rare" my ass. This shit has happened maybe 5 or 6 times to me since getting the update. It's a genuine pain in the ass at this point.

"You can test out these awesome new features with nobody on your friends list. Enjoy!"

I don't know anyone that has the issue out of my friends. And MS did say it's pretty low amount of people having the issue.

Sucks though it's happening to u guys.

Once registered, participants will be able to test the early features included in the update and provide feedback on a private forum and can opt out of future waves.

This part of the article confuses me a bit. Does that mean that if you're invited to get early access to this update that you'll automatically take part in following early access programs?

Edit:
Never mind I should learn to read better.

I don't think the messages have started to be sent out yet

Probable. According to the article they're starting to send invites today.

Xbox One Menu-Party-Friend-Message-Titanfall
A circle too long

 

[Bsigg12]

No codes yet, hopefully I get in. I wanna see the fixes.

 

[Kajiba]

I had no idea how bad the party system was until the beta for Titanfall.
We had the hardest time partying up and all that jazz.

And now I am getting a weird notification.

"Xbox sign in me"
"Sign in using a controller"
"Couldn't sign you in?

This never happens. I always sign in by voice.

WHY IS IT ASKING ME FOR PASSWORD.

Somehow it lost my account password and I had to re-login with it.

This happen to me early this morning. Really weird.

Like the xbox noticed me, but it said I needed to sign in with a controller instead. Everything looks good now though.

 

[Caayn]

Speak of the devil, just received an invitation

 

[Ade]

Whelp, I'm in..

We’re writing because we’ve selected you – yes, you – to preview Xbox One updates. By now, you should have received a Live Message from Xbox (available on your console and Xbox.com) with a 5x5 code. By redeeming this code, you will be able to install the official update Registration App.

 

[Steverulez]

I doubt theres anything like this in it, but I really hope the March update makes some adjustments to the store.

Just gone on it now to check out the price of something and it breaks down like this:

Games --> Features, New Releases, Add-ons, Top Games Right Now, Popular Games, Recommended For You, Popular Game Demos, Top Selling, Top Rated, Popular on Xbox

I want to look at the price for the Ryse seasons pass, so I go to add-ons:

Feature, New releases, popular

With search and use a code in there too.

Click on another option just brings up more menus, more clutter. I could use Kinect but I wanted to browse, store is a mess that needs fixing asap. ID@Xbox first games are out next month, the lack of visibility is going to affect a lot of games. Just get it working like it is on 360

 

[Dega]

It's a code? D: Can give away?

If someone wants to give it away I'd take it.

 

[malfcn]

I have been in every beta so far. Expecting a code. About to get ready for work so I won't know for about 8-9 hours..

When do they patch SkyDrive into OneDrive?

 

[Adam182]

Peeps should say what country they are in if they get selected. Just wanna see if it's US of A only.

Just happened to me. What's going on? Maybe it means we're beta testers.

Country doesn't seem to matter. I live in The Netherlands, a country were the Xbox One isn't even released yet, and I got invited to it. Thank you MS for not limiting this to a certain country. I
think that they're checking your gamertag history and if you own a Xbox One, based on that they'll invite you or not.

 

[Am_I_Evil]

got my message (actually got it twice...but its the same key both times)

no email though...

 

[RedAssedApe]

Hmm...opening up the beta seems kind of redundant if all of your friends need to enroll in the beta for you to be able to really test.

 

[FrankT]

Right here MS I test it all;

GT: jtyettis1

 

[RoKKeR]

Nothing here, booooo.

 

[watership]

Its not a bad thing at all, never said it was.

I'm pleased they're back to getting users to test stuff, as the Black Screen of Annoyance is doing my head in.

Is the fix to reboot the xbox, every time? I haven't had this bug yet.

 

[Adam182]

Seems worldwide then if others are getting it. Fingers crossed(canada)

Thanks guys who responded

 

[Ade]

Sadly yes :/

 

[tomfusion]

It drives me crazy hearing Microsoft refer themselves as "Xbox" like it's a company. "We here at Xbox"....

It's almost as bad Comcast using "Xfinity" in an attempt to hide who is behind the service.

I believe the Xfinity thing and Comcast is more of a legal obligation when they merged with NBC recently. They have to refer to their cable services as XFinity and not Comcast.

 

[Family Fry]

I have been in every beta so far. Expecting a code. About to get ready for work so I won't know for about 8-9 hours..

When do they patch SkyDrive into OneDrive?

It's already launched as one drive, has specific achievements as well.

 

[Steverulez]

MS, give me dat code

 

[Face it Tiger..]

Beta tested, in the future.

 

[malfcn]

Weird..I was still seeing "SkyDrive" for me when I was editing Titanfall clips this morning.

 

[Adam182]

Weird..I was still seeing "SkyDrive" for me when I was editing Titanfall clips this morning.

Haha me to. In the upload studio it still says skydrive. But the theme of the OneDrive on the website is pretty nice. Digging the colours

 

[Bsigg12]

Beta tested, in the future.

Starts next week, so yes? Haha

Lol. How is it any different than when Playsation refers to itself as Playstation istead of Sony???

 

[ThoughtsOfSpeaking]

Seriously. The MS hate has no bounds. ...

It's sort of a standard way for companies to address themselves in the industry, even by editorial sites.

Except that Microsoft haven't been doing this prior to the xbox ones reVeal and launch. If you think this is "MS hate" please point to examples of The company referring to themselves as Xbox before last years reveal.

Lol. How is it any different than when Playsation refers to itself as Playstation istead of Sony???

Because Sony have been doing that for the last ten years?

 

[Banjo-Kazooie]

They sent out emails to active Xbox Ambassadors saying they were in. Got mine a few minutes ago.

Has any non-ambassador gotten one yet?

How do you know if you're an ambassador?

 

[Banjo-Kazooie]

How do you know if you're an ambassador?

You had to have applied to be one, so you'd know (unless you did it ages ago and forgot ): http://ambassadors.xbox.com/

 

[RedStep]

You're the one making the statement, why don't you dig up all the examples that you're using as your basis?

 

[derFeef]

Is there an NDA, can we get videos?

 

[VE3TRO]

Do we have a list of the updates coming in March?

 

[Banjo-Kazooie]

Is there an NDA, can we get videos?

There was an NDA on the last dash beta that changed the prices around on 360, so I'm guessing yes. I haven't downloaded the registration app yet though so can't say for certain.

 

[Miles Quaritch]

I don't remember applying, but I'll check my messages a little later and hope I did.

 

[SwiftDeath]

That's a good move. Test out a new update with a beta group

This is smart

 

[K1ng P3n]

I got in, now it says loading please wait. It's been on this screen for about 15 minutes now, hope nothing went wrong!

 

[KnockOneOff]

It is a company, Xbox is a company under the Microsoft group

 

[Caayn]

Question for those who got invited: Have you already received your code? I've only received the e-mail and haven't yet received a code via XBL.

Is the fix to reboot the xbox, every time? I haven't had this bug yet.

Had this after the update was done and I rebooted the consoles. Pulling the plug once it was powered off again fixed it for me. Never seen the black screen again.

Is there an NDA, can we get videos?

Don't know yet. There wasn't anything about a NDA in the invitation e-mail I received. I wouldn't be surprised if there's a NDA, some of the prefers early access programs for the dashboard on the 360 had NDAs.

 

[Oozer3993]

I haven't gotten an email, but I got the Xbox Message with my code.

 

[SEGAvangelist]

You're the one making the statement, why don't you dig up all the examples that you're using as your basis?

Good point. Bring on the evidence!!!

 

[Am_I_Evil]

i'm not one and i got in

 

[RiccochetJ]

I think I'll just wait for the actual update even if I get an invite. Last time I tested out an update on the 360 the bloody thing was updating all the time and the file sizes weren't small either.

 

[KnockOneOff]

You had to have applied to be one, so you'd know (unless you did it ages ago and forgot ): http://ambassadors.xbox.com/

God know what I just signed up for!

Kinda logical, as you're supposed to be testing the new version of the OS. Of course they'll be improving that version as much as they can, and pushing updates to you to test/fumble around with it. That's what a beta program is for.
