    So with the Xbox One dashboard being a 'thing' in itself, as in the management of tv features, to console settings etc..we need a place to discuss this & only this as everything is getting mushed up in the general discussion thread. So here we are, our very own dedicated Xbox One dash & update discussion thread :)

    @celex71 interesting looking at reddit they are saying you can now invite people to the preview program, do you know if this is the case?

    Seems I can , I'll have to add you as a friend before I can do it though.

    Update hasn't been pushed out to me yet not sure when that is due to be rolled out.

    Edit: Invite sent Furp.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 933 ✭✭✭Furp


    Thx I have added you back, after a I read the reddit thread the invites are not immediate could be a day or two, I resume they are vetted on the xbox side first.


    I will let you know when if i get the invite.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,126 ✭✭✭✭calex71


    Yeah after I sent out the invite I get a message saying invites pending allow up to 2 business days. My registration is still set to pending too so I won't get the update until that changes.

    In terms of features, it lists enhanced kinect sign in, hdmi in, changes to live TV, and a new achievements app which can be snapped.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,207 ✭✭✭miralize


    Would it be possible to get an invite too? GT miralize :)

    I just got the update. Voice commands wouldn't work so go to Settings/Language & location and you'll see a new tab called Spoken language. Select English and then Restart now and it sorts it. Finally voice commands in Ireland :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 557 ✭✭✭-Toppy-


    Any changes in oneguide so that it works properly with irish satellite/cable providers?

    I had to go into system and manually update , it was greyed out until the update was available.

    I like the idea that with the touch of a single button you can bring up your achievement progress. Although I could never have it open while playing the game the same time.

    It's great to be able to set your region to Ireland and use voice.

    I've noticed that Bing Voice Search appears to be gone (even though the settings page says that its possible with my combination).

    The other, slightly depressing thing of changing region back to Ireland is that you see how little content we actually have compared to our US cousins.


    I Love the snapped achievement app, very useful indeed. Been play most of my games this avo with that switched on. :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,509 ✭✭✭Shred


    Manually updating right now, voice command for Ireland finally \o/

    double tap to snap is really nice too should you not choose to use the voice commands or don't have kinect.


  • Registered Users Posts: 983 ✭✭✭wexdevil


    I thought this update was meant to have voice control for us, mine doesn't seem to be working(i should add that I'm not in the preview)


    I'm an idiot, spoken language was set to none...oops!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 933 ✭✭✭Furp


    it does, you have to check for the console update then in the region and language settings you can change the spoken languuage to English UK, USA or Australian.

    Got a message on live regarding the 1408 preview, says it's rolling out in the next few days but no info on what exactly it will include. Reddit speculating it may be pre-loading in advance of the destiny beta next week.

    Ireland TV listings in next update, anyone know what this means?

    See majornelson dot com


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,799 ✭✭✭MiskyBoyy


    Wow, I really like the Facebook style 'Likes', 'Comments' & 'Sharing' they're adding! Good job Microsoft! :D



    In the next update, we’ll improve a number of social features to make sharing your gaming experiences with friends better and easier. Here’s a shortlist of features rolling out next week to those with early access to the Xbox One system update:

    Activity feed updates: We’re adding new ways for you to interact with friends in the activity feed. The interface will change to a single column scrolling list that is longer and includes more content. We’ll add the ability to post text to your feed, and to “like” and comment on feed items. You can share game clips and anything else in the feed with friends either publically (to your activity feed) or privately (as an attachment to a message). You’ll also be notified when anyone likes, comments on or shares your items. Each user will get a personal feed on their profile, so you can see what specific friends have been up to. And, with SmartGlass, you can see what your friends have shared to their activity feed and “like” specific posts (additional activity feed support coming in future SmartGlass updates).

    Expanded Friends area on Home: Right from Home, see what’s going on with your friends. Stay up-to-date with their current activity, the top trending games your friends are playing, and a leaderboard to see who has been working the hardest on their Gamerscore. We’re doing an extended preview on this, rolling it into the early access preview this month to a subset of our preview audience so we can refine it until it’s ready for the entire Xbox One market.

    Mobile purchase: One of the most requested features on Xbox Feedback. Using Xbox SmartGlass or on Xbox.com, you can remotely purchase games and Add-on content. No more waiting to begin downloading when you get home – if your console is set to automatically take updates, your console will begin downloading your purchase.

    Low battery notification: You asked for it, now a notification will pop up when your controller battery is getting low.
    Disable notifications during video: Adding the ability to turn off notifications based feedback we heard from you.

    Enabling 3D Blu-ray: An update to the Blu-ray player app will enable 3D Blu-ray functionality on Xbox One.

    OneGuide in Brazil, Mexico, Austria and Ireland: Live TV listings can be configured for four new countries as part of this month’s Preview program. And now there is an OneGuide Issue Reporter available under the TV & OneGuide settings, Troubleshooting section.

    Last seen time in Friends list: Direct from Xbox Feedback, the friends list will now show how long it’s been since a friend has been online. For example, “Last seen 20m ago: Forza Motorsport 5.”

    In addition to these features, we are still always doing other work on the backend you may not notice including getting ready to ship in 29 new markets starting this September.

    Thank you for your incredible support. You’ve helped us make Xbox One a great place to play games and we’re looking forward to the road ahead as we get ready to launch the most critically acclaimed games this holiday.

    Mobile purchases would be savage. If the game could download away while you're at work and be ready to go when you get home, it'll be even sweeter. I have my console set to auto update but it never seems to do it. Hopefully this'll sort that out.
