Jesus Christ that was adorable.
That should be the first step in everyone's Xbox One troubleshooting escapades.

Yeah it is a known problem. It happens after 4-5 days of it being in stand by mode. Someone here mentioned that it had something to do with the memory not being cleared or something. I first discovered the issue after 6 days of use and it would not "Watch TV". It would go to it and just sit there. I did a 100% shutdown and rebooted and it worked like a charm. Then about 5 or so days later it did it again with the Watch TV working, but it not sending the signal to my receiver, tv or cable box when turning it off.
That is when a fellow gaffer said about holding the power button down for about 5 seconds or so. Previously, I was going to the settings to turn off Stand By Mode, but now just doing the power button thing works fine. I figure, I will just do a complete power down every 3-4 days or so since it is not a long process to do it.
I hope MS is working on this as there design was to have it on 24/7, but if you have to power it down to clear out the corruption or whatever is happening, it does not make it like any other device in my entertainment center.

100% for sure! So many people have resolved issues by just doing a power cycle of the unit.
I would say this and when people set up Kinect, they need to blast their audio and when the Kinect says "your audio is too loud" then turn it down slightly and try again until it let's it run through the set up at the highest possible volume. I have helped so many people make Kinect work a lot better by just doing this. The loudness helps it configure the microphone array to make it easier to pick up human voice over the audio of gaming/watching TV.
Way too early to put up the Christmas three.
no. we load up a pick up and cut one down the day after thanksgiving and it goes up that weekend. every year.

Does anyone remember that dude who got his XB1 two weeks early from Target? One of the many screens he posted had a page of popular games and it even showed how many people were playing each game.
I thought that was neat, but I have yet to find that exact screen on my console. I suspect that was the "most popular" page from the games store, and they just removed the ability to see how many people were playing each game.

I imagine it was just for pre-release users, so that they wouldn't be sitting around forever trying to find a game online.
I'm hoping someone calls me an idiot, but do NONE of the Xbox One apps have voice commands outside of simply choosing on screen text/tiles?
It is pretty much useless to do voice commanding within Netflix, Xbox Music, or Youtube if you can't do something as simple as search.
If I'm not missing something, this needs to change ASAP.

Yeah that was a neat feature. Turns out it didn't make it into final cut.
Saying "Xbox select" when the app is in full screen should bring up all the contextual voice commands for an app. Try it in IE to see what I mean. "Xbox Bing" searches all apps, but should get you where you need to go in Netflix or Xbox Music.
As mentioned above, yes, you're missing something but rather than just take the advice to try "xbox select" (which is correct), I'd recommend doing the tutorial
Just note that once you say Xbox Select and everything turns green, you do not prefix your selections with "xbox"
It pretty much just highlights the text associated with all of the onscreen GUI elements. For example, I can't for example... search for an artist using voice. I'd say Search, and then have to type in what in searching for.
Maybe they want us to use Bing for everything, but that is a terrible solution IMO.
I think it was more for the beta/press so if they went to play multiplayer on a game they would know if they could find a game or not.
I do wish we could see it though.
yes, bing searches within apps too

Hold on, friend! I'd love to share with you some swell news about the Windows 8 Metro UI! Wait, where are you going?
Do your search with Xbox Bing and it'll tell you all the apps that can play that content. So I can say "Xbox Bing - Ghostbusters" then "Netflix" then "Play Movie". I've been doing this a lot with music "Xbox Bing - music Lana Del Rey" and it'll bring up her albums, I say the name of the album and it boots into Xbox Music. Then "Play Album". You can also search for genres like "Xbox Bing - Music - Jazz" and it'll bring up popular albums.
thanksgiving it goes up in my house hold

Yeah, that makes sense. Don't see why they wouldn't leave that in there though.
That needs to change, hopefully the APIs allow them to do more with voice and the apps just need more time in the oven.
I just searched for something in Bing that I know that is available in Netflix. It only gives the option to play in Xbox Video. For that to be a good option they'd really need to ensure that their databases are in sync.

I'm sure developers would complain. If you have have a choice between the two basketball games, not knowing that one is a piece a shit, you might buy the shit one but not if you can see that other one has way more people playing it.
love it!!
my son is almost 8 months now. its all mamma and dada
ecks bawks is next im sure lolAnyone else having problem with the party chat? I can't get it working with my friend. Every time we get "We cannot turn on the party chat right now. Please try again later" error message.
I checked my connection settings and everything appears to be fine. NAT type is open etc. Same with my friend's.
We got the workaround by using skype, but while playing BF4 in the same squad the game's squad chat is also open! So we are hearing each others voices twice and echoed while everybody else in the same squad also hears us. How stupid is this? I just realized I haven't checked the game settings if there's an option to turn off squad chat.
P.s BF4 on Xbone is pure crap. Unplayable at the moment. What a POS. Not gonna buy premium until they fix the vanilla.

Just plugged my laptop into the HDMI in port. I'm so glad that it works with my HDTV/PC monitor set up. Thanks MS!
It's totally awesome and solves any multimedia nitpicks I'd otherwise have. I only wish there was some way I could seamlessly control the PC with my controller.
Yeah, party chat is kinda screwed up. Sometimes to fix it, my friend restarts his xbox (standby) and if fixes it. I think there is a way to turn of in game voice though for BF4. I cant say the same for forza...
Its broken on PC as well, and have heard it having trouble on PS4 from others.
Ya. There is a setting to disable all in game chat in BF4.
In regards to party chat issue, you likely have BF4 loaded when trying to turn it on. This results in that error for tons of people. The shifty workaround is to fully close BF4, party up and turn on chat, and then restart BF4. That works every time for me and my mate.

anyone else have issues with using HDMI cable's other than the included one? I had some shaky connection with an existing monoprice hdmi that i was using for 360. It would lose connection if i even slightly jostle my xbone a little bit. Tested the cable with other devices and it worked just fine. Finally got fed up with it when I moved the xbone again so I dug out the official one that came with it and it works fine now, weird.

I don't feel a big difference. I do wish the bumpers were just left same as the 360.
It's my favorite controller ever. The joysticks and triggers are masterfully crafted.

As an fps player I would say the feel of the controller is somehow a little better than the 360. I like the triggers as well and the bumpers I don't have a problem with. The sticks though... First off I feel that they're too small in diameter. Second they are way too touchy. My aim is all over the place when I push too hard. The 360 sticks were perfect in my opinion I don't know why they changed it.
I actually am liking it more, so far. The bumpers, triggers, and sticks feel great. I love the texture they have on the outer rim. Still need to play an FPS and see how that fares, though.
The biggest point of conversation is the bumpers, and it mostly seems to depend how you hit them on the 360.
The shell feels great in my hands. I didn't realize how unnatural the 360 controller felt to me until just recently trying to use it again.
I can't comment on the sticks yet as I haven't played an FPS using them yet. I am getting paranoid about the rubber grip around the edges wearing away, though, as I really like having it there.
The bumpers took some adjusting, but now I'm used to them and they feel pretty much the same. They kind of forced me to adjust how I press them by making the innermost portions not clickable, but after hours of use I'm finding that it's actually much more comfortable to use them this way.
The good way to use the bumpers (at an angle):
The bad way (straight-on)
So far, I think it's a definite improvement as far as comfort. And the D-pad is much better at menu navigation/weapon selecting, but apparently no good for fighting games (I just use the stick anyways).
Solid and well crafted, definitely an improvement.

Bumpers are worse, triggers are better. D pad is different but still flawed in its own ways. Sticks are too small and feel too loose.

So is there a special trick to getting recievers to work? If I plug the xbox into the reliever I get not video if I plug the receiver into the xbox I get no audio from my speakers.
Do I have to reset the whole setup process from scratch or something?

Didn't have any issues with my HDMI receiver. Have you used other HDMI devices on it? I literally just plugged my Xbox One into the port the 360 was previously using, and everything worked fine.
I have an Onkyo receiver, if that matters
Is your video set to 720p and digital audio disabled?

Just got my xb1 and when I hook everything up I my monitor doesn't recognize the console. Tried on my tv and no dice also. tried two different HDMI cables.

By unplugging it and holding the X button a few different times, yes.
Color: it is white right now.
