I wonder if we'll eventually get the option to toggle the transparency off.
I want my teal tiles back in their full glory, backgrounds be damned.
Is a WP a "windows phone"? No, I've never used one.
I take it they also have the broken back button functionality that the Xbox One OS has?
Weird that it's not a toggle. They basically undid some of their previous work in the process.
Have you tried shutting down manually the application (go home, menu, quit), then starting it again ? It's what I usually do when an app doesn't behave how it should, and it usually fixes it.

It's not broken. It goes to the previous app if you switch from it, and does nothing if you have no previously opened apps. (At least that's how it works on WP, never tested on Xbone for apps I specifically closed.
If you think the apps and points within the apps as pages, and assume that everything is an app (including the start screen) it actually makes perfect sense.
It will open back up a manually closed app/game if that was the last thing on Bone. Which is the only difference from WP. I don't find it to be a particularly heinous thing especially since manually quitting stuff isn't something that is necessary.
Thanks, I don't think I've ever been so confused with a UI till I bought this system
You can also use the hub to launch your game normally, as a broadcast, or as a party.
Yeah. In the game hub you can choose "Play and Broadcast" as an option to launch the game. It's not that hard without the game hub though, you just double tap the guide button to bring up the snap center and open twitch in snap then hit broadcast.So is broadcasting easier?
I have a buddy that I forced to sign up for Twitch because myself and our other friends want to ridicule him as he plays. (All in good fun.) His excuse for not Broadcasting is that its too complicated.
If it's literally just going to the game hub and clicking "Broadcast" ....then he'll have run out of excuses. LoL.
I just noticed this update changed around the achievement app a bit. It now lists your achievements in 3 rows instead of 2. It's a little change but I like it.

Screenshots soon? https://twitter.com/XboxP3/status/563817935014088704
I don't get all the hubbub about screenshots, why are people so thirsty for them?

I find it extremely unintuitive after a full year of use.
Can you honestly say that you understand exactly when an app like Achievements or Friends will be snapped instead of opening full screen when you click on it?
Or know exactly to which screen you will be taken every time when you press the B button?
nope, saw the same for sunset overdrive, fh2, and peggle 2. the OS is in a broken state and simply won't launch games. The only way to fix it is to hard-boot (holiding the xbox logo on the console) and manually restarting the console.
It's been a known issue for a while, but hopefullly it's addressed in the next patch (though I'm not holding my breath)
Sometimes you want to share something, and a screenshot captures it just fine, without the need for video. An image is easier to link/share to people and they can just give it a quick look. It'll be especially nice if at some point we get twitter integration that lets us tweet out images from the console.
There's usually a little "snap" icon in the top right corner of the tile that tells you it's the snapped version of an app instead of the full version.
Depends on where you are at.
When deep inside an app like Hulu:
Previous menu(s) within the app ---> home menu in app --> Xbox dashboard --> Previous app/game you were in
When at home menu of an app like Hulu:
Xbox dashboard --> previous app/game you were in
When on Xbox dashboard:
Previous app/game you were in
Will Microsoft ever do custom gamer pics? It's one of the features I want brought over from my PS4, now that we got screenshots.
Microsoft needs to bring back paid/promotional gamerpics or allow custom gamerpics like Sony.
The current gamerpic situation is boring on XB1. We get the worst of both worlds. With 360 almost every new game came with purchasable gamerpics - no matter the game I could be assured that I could display my affection for a certain game via my gamerpic.
Well, Xbox One gamerpics are just a big collection of random drawings. Nothing game related. Sometimes I wonder why Microsoft didn't just copy and paste the features of 360 from day one, sigh. From day one there should have been Ryse gamerpics, Max Curse Of Brotherhood gamerpics, etc... That or follow the Sony route and let us choose anything for a gamerpic gosh darn it.
It will only go back to dashboard in those cases if the dashboard was what the person was on when they entered the app. If I were to go to Netflix and then Hulu Plus by using Kinect. Hitting B will exit Hulu and go to Netflix.
Was just wandering out on the dashboard and accidentally discovered that devs can post messages on their gamehub similar to messages on your own activity feed.

Disgusting is kind of a strong word but it is disappointing that sort of thing hasn't been implemented.I agree with you.No custom gamerpics or the option to buy new ones is disgusting.
Since this update I'm getting dropped frames in the Netflix app. Not because of buffering, but like when you use a shitty flash player on an old PC... Anyone else?

Does the controller update do anything it randomly disconnecting?
Oh dear...
I want the ability to send voice-messages.
Even more than screenshots and background music.
I voted months ago but ms is not listening. Is easy to put this feature in a monthly update but they don't want
I'm a bit surprised that we haven't see the March preview yet.
Hopefully that means Voice-Messages, Screenshots and Background Music!
Haha, yeah I know. Unrealistic thinking, though I do expect to see screenshots with the next update.
