nfsmwuk Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 I'm just glad I can now change that white color to black notification pop up's. Not to say I hate white.. I just prefer some things in black. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gameoncomrade Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 Seems like they almost only focused on families that share a PS4 in this firmware update. Of course it's awesome that Sony has implemented all this as it is very much needed, but too bad that only one group will benefit from it i.e. families that share a PS4. Going to change my notification banner asap though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chellesan Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 i didnt like it that everyone on your friendlist is on your follow list to, so i needed to unfollow like 500 friends, so i use it only to follow people i dont need as a friend 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
X-Cyberpunk Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 One problem is sharefactory. In gallery, (screenshot and video clips) press 'option' button and select 'edit in sharefactory', select any clip then enter 'edit', but doesnt go straight to sharefactory app. This is the shortcut way, however for now with this 5.00 firmware, have to go from sharefactory and do the long way to edit video.

Ac3NiNjA9 Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 Nothing really stands out to me personally but I like that we can check notifications from the quick menu now at least. Sounds like a basic thing that should've been possible a while now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DamagingRob Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 The only appropriate response. 4 hours ago, itachi-destroyer said: The weakest major update released on PS4 to this day imo. I don't care about most (if not all) of their new features. Is it that difficult to implement notifications removal ? That would be really cool to be able to clean notifications that are 2 years old Do you not use your PS4 often? From game installs, messages, someone "liking" my activity, etc., I can only go as far back as August of this year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingGuy420 Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 (edited) This update has 2 of my most wanted features. Clock on the quick menu and the ability to leave a party chat through the quick menu. If I'm watching a video on the internet browser, I can't go to the main menu to check time without messing it up. The quick menu clock is a god send. Also, couldn't leave party chat from PSNow. Option to leave in the quick menu fixes this. It might not be the most "big feature" rich update ever... But there's definitely some quality of life changes that I've personally been waiting for. Edited October 3, 2017 by KingGuy420 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowStar83x Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 Not much to it, but like my notifications are black again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxie_M0us3 Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 Definitely the most disappointed update so far. Yet, I can welcome these features: - Custom friends lists - Clock on Quick Menu - Notifications in Quick Menu - Leaving a Party in Quick Menu - Black notifications! I missed them! I have found hidden features! - Clock is also on PSVR’s Quick Menu - Trophies notifications on PSVR! It shows simply in little the trophy type (bronze, silver, gold, plat). Sad a little that it doesn’t show the trophy’s name and image but that’s just a start! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlindMango Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 (edited) Custom Friends Lists are the best, I've been waiting for that for a very long time. Also being able to make notifications black again Edited October 4, 2017 by BlindMango Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Venocide Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 There was only one thing I cared about in this update, and that's being able to change notifications from white to black .I didn't hate white, but the black trophy popups looks much better:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RavenScythe Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 The only thing I care about are mostly the Quick Menu related ones. Plus the black notification I guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FarfetchDoomer Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 Trophy notifications back to the original black Guess custom friends list is nice too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z1MZUM Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 Basically I use my ps4 for gaming and don't care about much else, I sometimes do upload a video. I'm with the back in black crowd and think the update is worth it for that though I'm confused as to why it restarted 3 times and then had to re-build the database.

Evil_Joker88 Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 (edited) Haha i play so little ps4 dob't even remember when they changed the trophy notification color But cool thing that you can leave a party now from the quick menu only option i missed there. And having a clock in that quick menu is nice too Pls add easier access to hide/unhide ps4 games on trophy list Sony, that feature is a nightmare currently Edited October 4, 2017 by Evil_Joker88 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lordzeze Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 This update sure did screw up my console. The symbol for extended storage (the cylinder) kept flashing in the upper right hand corner of the home menu, where the time usually is, and would not go away. After installing, none of my games on my extended storage would work. There was a triangle with an exclamation mark beside almost all of them and when I tried to load them it would say "checking extended storage, please wait". Also none of my game updates would download/install properly. It would download part of the update, then go to a "copying" phase that I have never seen before and it would get stuck there. Then I decided to open up Pinball FX3 (which is on the extended drive and was one of the few games that worked) and as soon as I opened it up the game froze and update notifications for Lost Legacy and Doom popped up even though automatic updates are turned off. Ended up corrupting my save for Pinball FX 3 as this caused the system to basically lock up. I ended up restarting my system multiple times and now it seems to be working normally, but its really odd that the update gave me so many troubles.

Nemmy_Wemmy Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 (edited) I very much like ordering friends :3 fulfills my OCD also like being able to hold the ps button and being able to see the time Edited October 5, 2017 by The High Ground Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxie_M0us3 Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 (edited) Should I add that, for PSVR owners, that the Processor Unit now turns OFF (power light on red) instead of staying ON with the white light? Not only we don’t longer need to turn off the PS4 or to plug out the Unit to reduce the energy usage, this let our PSVR setup where they are! Great progress Sony on the VR software!

antithesis Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 Two very useful features in this update for me... 1. Custom friends lists - I can't recall how I met half the peeps on my friends lists, so being able to organise them per-game is very useful. 2. Parental controls are invaluable if you have kids. With the recent spate of "hey cutie" and "get your psn code here" spam poisoning the PSN, I like to control who can communicate with my 4 younglings. The clock and notification colours are useful too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galactic Hyper Balls Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 ahhh man the update can't wash my dishes and clean my clothes Sony you really had thinking it would. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paige-ID Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 This doesn't feel like a major numerical update to me. This feels more like a 4.something. Some nice features, I suppose, but nothing that really excites or refreshes the PS4. It makes me worried about what 5.x updates will be. Here's hoping some really refreshing features show up in 6.0.

Lumibella Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 Notifications in Quick Menu is a great feature for me since I'm downloading lots of stuff. Black notifications are nice too, not changing back to white for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
