As much as we applaud Sony's efforts at rolling out its recent firmware update to version 2.00, which added new and exciting features to the PlayStation 4, many have noted an unfortunate glitch which makes it impossible to turn the super system back on once it's been put into Rest Mode.
Thankfully the Japanese giant has responded quickly and has rolled out a 217.2 MB update which will correct this issue and give you the stability that you always wanted from your PS4. Firmware update version 2.01 is now live.
Many of our followers on Twitter have reported that this has corrected the dreaded awakening from Rest Mode issue. Have you had a chance to apply this update yet? Let us know if the issue is resolved for you by leaving us a comment below.

Great imma update when I get back to the house
A quick fix within a week. That's good, right? I think it is.
Ok, Sony. That was reasonably fast. Many thanks to the Tech guys who had to put the hours in to fix this issue!! I'll have to wait to apply the update until I leave the office. By office I mean the bowels of the condominium I work in. Lol. But at least I get wifi in the basement!!
Sony: "Here, have another patch to fix the first patch."
This reminds me of a doctor who prescribes you medication, but it has bad side effects. So then he prescribes you another medication to deal with the first medication.
It fixed the problem for me. Also, the messaging seems to finally work now, has anyone else noticed?
Messages and game invites etc not showing up in my notifications for like 10 mins after being sent hopefully this is fixed! As for the waking from rest mode I never had an issue
Messages are still slow for me. Have to wait like 5 min before I recive them. But I get the "new message frome... " when it has been sent to me. :/
@Remixora Yeah I've had that problem since day one. Still not able to get anything from my library either, if I try to play Strider (for example) it takes me to the PSN page for the game, says to download it then says it already is, loads the game and says I have to download the game. Been like that about a month before 2.00 was out. I'm basically suck with disc games, Minecraft and Sound Shapes.
@Bad-MuthaAdebis I get the notification on PS4 and iPhone app fine. Just takes anything between five minutes and half an hour to see the actual message on PS4. Half the time my messages won't send until the fourth attempt - always works on fourth try for some reason. The app is just a mess (as a service and in design, they've managed to make it less cluttered yet utterly more bothersome). Always times out, no matter what I'm doing or where I am. No other app does that.
@Xalbador40 it is, not only do they have to figure out what the problem is, but how to fix it, then implement the fix and then put it through its paces so it doesn't cause issues by fixing issues. So a week for all that is a pretty good turn around.
Happy.
After all this patch up crap maybe sony should start introducing monthly updates instead of these so called big updates.
Works for me now. Yes monthly updates would be good.
@rastamadeus have you tried rebuild of database or reinitialize of system, or activation of system, or email verification, or going on to the SEN site and checking your profile is correct. Another thing is to switch your DNS to 8.8.8.8 & 8.8.4.4 Googles servers are way better than any ISP's. This last one solved a lot of issues I was having.
please watch the language -Tasuki-
JUST Go MY XboxOne yesterday. Sony dissapointed me this year.
Good they fixed it, but seriously, how was this issue not discovered in QA testing??
Finally. My PS4 had turned itself on when I got home today and had ejected the disc it had in it...again. Hopefully I never have to hard-shut-down and unplug this darn thing ever again (kinda doubting it though).
OK, I take back what I said. Straight after the update messages were going through really fast, that has changed now. Every message takes forever to deliver. I have good internet as do my friends. Sony, ffs fix this.
@Kidfried Agreed (But I would wouldn't I ) But with TLOU & the eventual sequel alone (which in my opinion is a game that deserves owning a console based on that one game) not to mention The Order & Uncharted as wel as the older franchises (God of war etc) it's where I think it's at. Xbone is much better than the 360 in a lot of ways & I think it's cool they have put out a 1TB console (I got a 2TB for my PS4) but some of us just love the old PS=)
@kupo Oh no. I went through 5 PS3's in a year (super slim). I have been confident the PS4 wouldn't be faulty, that sucks man but I hope it's just an anomaly
@joseth418 Wow...5 in one year? I would've abandoned Sony forever. The Super Slim model has always looked "cheap" to me, compared to the early versions.
Even after this new patch, my PS4 turned itself on again when I came home today, with the stupid "phantom disc" error, so I have to manually power it down again and drain the power again. If the X1 had more than literally 1 exclusive I'm interested in (Killer Instinct, which isn't even a complete game), I'd have switched sides already.
@kupo No lie. Google "Ps3 not reading Last Of us" and see the walls of complaints. To be fair it read MOST games but would always end up failing with TLOU within 1-3 months (first took 3, second 2 then 1 & a half, just got worse). They treated me like crap when talking to them on the phone too. But with TLOU a multiplayer that I play ALL THE TIME (now on PS4) it was unacceptable. After TLOU, GTA V would start to go, then Bioshock Infinite. It was newer games with a certain type of disc layer that it had issues with but older games, no issue. I would of jumped ship but all my friends stayed & moved to PS4, I've been with the PS since day one & figured that my second gen never did it so the PS4 should be good. But I am not a fan of Sony customer support & the way they treat their customers. I will always have a bitter taste & if they screw me hard again then I will leave, I hope it doesn't come to that.
