I've just reported the fault. Hopefully it gets looked at. I suggest you do the same, the more people that report it the more they will look at it.

Weirdly I opened the preview app to report the problem, and then went back to the TV app and it's fine now.

Seems to be a problem when switching between game/apps and TV.

Yeah, I find hard rebooting often fixes it for a while. I've been reporting it since I've been in the preview, over a month now. Sadly I suspect they will ship to all without it fixed.

Any UK GAF watch Sky through their Xbox? Mine is really glitchy like it's displaying it at 60hz instead of 50hz, even though 50 is selected. This problem has only occurred since changing to the new dash I think.
Click to expand...

Not sure if this is still the case but it would be 50hz full screen but then 60hz when snapped so as not to ruin games. Is it now 60hz all the time?

Ha! My TV has been fine for about 8 minutes and now it's gone glitchy again. Something is very broken!

Yeah when watching TV "Full screen" I think it's displaying the picture at 60hz, because it's really "glitchy" and "stuttering". It was fine before upgrading to this dash.

Turned it on this morning and it wouldn't connect to Live and said my NAT was strict, this has happened a few times before. Hard reboot fixed it, but it's annoying it's still doing this

I'm expecting a lot of updates in the next 11 days as we build up to the public release. There are still quite a few issues so I do expect them to hit often.


Update notes for 10/31

A New Xbox One Experience update is rolling out to NXOE Preview participants tonight at 4PM PT, October 31st. This update contains key fixes and stability improvements - see below for details.



HOW TO GET IT

If your console is in Instant-On mode and you have been selected, it will download and install the update and reboot to standby.
NOTE: Once the update is available to your wave, you can manually begin the update by navigating to Settings > System and selecting System Update.
If your console hasn’t downloaded and installed the update by 1:00AM PT 11/02/2015, you will be prompted to do so at that time.
DETAILS

OS version released: th2_xbox_rel_1510.151029-2122
Available: 4:00PM PDT 10/31 (5PM GMT 10/31)

Sign-In Issues:
We’re currently tracking a sign-in issue which some users are experiencing. If you’re having difficulty signing in, please try the workaround below, and if it resolves the issue, please reply to this thread in the Preview forums.

Workaround: Go to Settings/Account/Remove accounts and delete your account. Then, open Guide/Sign in tab/Add & manage/Add new to recover your profile to the Xbox.

Disc Based Games:
When attempting to launch a disc based game, you may be prompted to sign in with the user who owns the game.

Workaround: Eject and re-insert the game disc.

Fixes:
YouTube console shutdown: Your console should no longer shut down when launching the YouTube app.


Green screen after system update: This build contains a fix to address issues with the console loading to a green or black screen after downloading a system update.


Blank App Tiles: Game and app tiles in My games & apps should no longer appear blank.


Wireless Networking: This build contains a fix to address being unable to detect wireless networks with an external hard drive attached.


Party and game chat: This build contains a fix to address being unable to hear others when joining a party chat, while game chat would function normally.


Media Player: The media player should no longer fail to connect to DLNA content.


Known Issues:

Game and App Issues:
Game or App Crashes: Some users may experience game or app crashes which require the game to be force closed.

Workaround: Relaunch the game or app, or, navigate home and use the menu button to force close the app, then relaunch it.


Titanfall: Titanfall may fail to connect to Xbox Live.

Workaround: Hard reset the console.


NFL Live App: When playing videos in the NFL Live App, the screen may dim after a short period of time.


Forza 6:

Forza 6 may fail to update due to an installation stopped error.

Forza 6 may fail to resume a suspended session after powering on the console in Instant-On mode.


General System Issues

Xbox App:

You may be unable to power on or off your console from the Connection Window in the Xbox App.

Workaround: Select More > Forget Console and re-add the console.

When using the Xbox App to power on or off your console, the Xbox App may fail to display whether the console was properly powered on or off.

Workaround: Select More > Forget Console and re-add the console.

High Contrast Mode: When a user enables High contrast mode in Settings, High contrast mode is always enabled on the console regardless of which user is signed in. You can disable High contrast mode under Settings > Ease of Access > High contrast.

Dashboard: You may encounter English text with strange characters on the Home screen. This is placeholder text and will be corrected in a future update.


Store: Preordered games may display as fully installed and no longer have a “Preorder” designation in My games & apps.

Disc Installations: If installing a disc based game while no one is signed in on the console, launching the game will cause the game to start, but crash to a black screen shortly after.

Sign-in, security & passkey: If you have enabled passkey or password protection for Settings, you may experience issues accessing certain sections of Settings.

Workaround: Navigate to Settings > Account > Sign-in, security & passkey and update your configuration. If you have trouble accessing this section in Settings, hard reset your console.

Snap Center: When YouTube is snapped, it may share input with the home screen.

System Update Errors: If you encounter an update error screen while downloading a system update and the console freezes, please wait 3 minutes before rebooting the console to ensure crash data is automatically captured.

Upload Studio: Upload Studio may become unresponsive and crash when you select “Manage your clips” and press B to go back.


USB TV Tuner: Saying “Xbox Pause” or pressing pause on the media remote may fail to pause TV.

At least they cleaned up the known issues list.

In the previous builds they often had listed a fix and again listed it as a known issue ... ;-)

I have faith that MS will deliver a stable experience on November 12, ever since the update before the latest things have been going well. Videos play fine, no more that it looks like a slideshow, i also don't get thrown out of the party anymore when i play them, barely any party disconnects.

I also am very happy that the Activity Feed actually simply works. I don't know about you guys, but when i didn't have the preview dashboard yet, Acitivty Feed was always hit and miss, i would go to see if there were new videos and it would give me an error that it wasn't available at the moment. Then after many retries it would work again and later on fail again. It's fine now.

If they don't bring any updates that ruin any of these things, i am happy.

E200 error on starting my console just now after it clearly auto-updated - that had me worried!

Fortunately, after a hard reset and a lengthy green loading screen, it seems to have fixed itself. Hopefully that'll be the only time that I see that...


Edit:

NXOE user here, got this scary error message during the last update 2 nights ago. Update finished downloading then it happened during the installation.



Did a hard reset and it sat at the green Xbox One screen for about 15 or 20 minutes with the pulsing dots then it booted up the dashboard like nothing happened. Kinda scared to apply this new update as the above fix worked, but I'm wary as to whether or not it left any long-term damage to my system.

Essentially this, though with only about 5 minutes on the green screen.

I keep expecting the new left side menu to run smooth but just trying to scroll down to the settings cog it froze twice loading my apps list and online list, it's not nice.

The new settings layout is ugly too, nothing was wrong with the old settings layout.

So anyone else having issues where the system doesn't recognize a mic plugged in so you can't chat or adjust any of the mic settings?

Again i have this low battery nonsense. I have been charging it for hours and i accidentally pulled out the cord, it immediately said the batteries were low. It also shows only 1 bar in settings > devices & accessories. So now all icons show an empty battery, is this still that dashboard bug or is my controller's battery indeed a goner now?

Man, I'm hoping I don't get this anytime soon (in preview), it sounds like a real mess.

My system auto-updated to the new dashboard two or three days before Halo 5 released. Haven't had any issues with it aside from kicking me out of Halo 5 (once when it was nearly fully loaded into a match and another time when I was at the end of a cut-scene in the campaign) to update the console. Although, now that I have said that is when my issues will start :(.

Alright cool, maybe the people that are not having problems just don't post as much about it. I'm watching every day to wait for it to update.... crosses fingers.

This is gonna sound kind of weird but have you tried taking the disc out, unplugging all USB connections (and the Kinect if you have it), and finally unplugging the system from the power brick and holding the power button for 10-15 seconds? Essentially that's the process for completely draining all power from the system. I had to do that when I got my E200 error a week or so ago.

I finally downloaded the new dash yesterday. Had a scare at first getting stuck at the menacing green screen of potential death, but it ended up being okay. Had to hard reboot a couple of times.

I definitely feel lost trying to find stuff now. :-/

In a game, double press Xbox button then press the button for screenshot (it says what on the screen)

Or say "Xbox take a screenshot".

To comment on this. Its way slower and takes me out of the game too much now. It was quicker with the reg dashboard.

They just need to map it to the 'view' button idk.


Edit: wonder what this firmware update does.

The good news; the known issues list has reduced substantially over last few weeks.

The bad news: errors marked as fixed such as green screen and E200 are still happening.

The good news; they have another 9 days to work on it, so I figure last few updates.
