SRJB Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Hey guys and gals, Has anyone had any problems with their Xbox since the latest update? Mine fezzes at the dashboard before the new desktop comes up, so I get stuck with the loading circle frozen, I am unable to use any controls, even the guide button doesn't seem to work. I held down the power button for a few seconds, which seemed to reset my display settings, but the problem persists. I have unplugged the power and have tried multiple times to get it to load past start-up. Anyone else with this problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lid Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 xbox live is being shit yet again. surprise surprise. Its the same with me don't worry. I sign in on my account and it freezes immedietely on the dashboard. Probably crashes while loading all the taco bell and justin bieber ads plastered all over the fucking thing.

Meagan47 Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 I'm glad it's not just me. I'm pretty pissed as it is my only day off this week. All I wanna do is chill and play some video games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burnout x360a Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 One thing that's happened more recently is the "some content could not be loaded" (Or something like that). On the plus side it makes the dashboard a lot less cluttered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HT Viper II Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 xbox live is being shit yet again. surprise surprise. Its the same with me don't worry. I sign in on my account and it freezes immedietely on the dashboard. Probably crashes while loading all the taco bell and justin bieber ads plastered all over the fucking thing. I'm so happy that we get to pay for ads! As for me though, I haven't had any issues with freezing... yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meagan47 Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 I wrote into support via Twitter since that's the only quick way to get a response out of Xbox support. The only solution right now is to not sign in with live. Which is dumb considering all the games I want to play are online. Oh well. Guess it's time to wait.

suki ninja Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 TEMPORARY FIX! Hey everyone! I'm experiencing the exact same problem. Microsoft support is backed up and I'm waiting for a call. BUT Don't you worry, I discovered something that can help you at least play your games or watch DVDs Basically start up your xbox, but DO NOT sign in. Instead hit your guide button and load the game that's already in your console. Then play your game! It will ask you at some point to sign on so you can save, and that's when you can sign in. It worked for me, and I can see my friends. But whatever you do, DO NOT go back to the dashboard or it will freeze. I will post any updates I come across once microsoft presents me with a solution.

ScottEasykill Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 I'm also having the freeze at dashboard issue but even without logging into live and just skipping I'm getting the freezing issue, I've just been turning on the xbox opening and closing my drive and let the game load then logging into live Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suki ninja Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 umm, as soon as i turn on my xbox it freezes, i dont have the option to sign in or not. Mine did that at first, I unpugged everything and plugged it back in. It took maybe a few times. Hopefully it helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully it helps I tried that too the first time i got angry lol. I think my xbox is set to automatic sign in or something, is it possible for me to get on xbox.com and change my settings online? probably not..

That one I do not know, I've never activated the automatic sign in just incase of these problems. I'd recommend googling it and seeing if any forums have a solution to that. But I believe just because it's related to console, you'll have to do it through that. I'll be sure to inquire about that once microsoft contacts me.

Meagan47 Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 stupid question here, but what do i do? just disable my wireless on my modem? I have an old xbox where you can just unplug the usb wireless adapter in the back. If you're using the slim which I believe has the wireless built in, I'm not sure how to sign in without unplugging your wireless modem altogether like you suggested. Anyone else?

CORPSIE19 Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 just tried something that is so far working. sign in without connecting to xbox live. then load up your game and connect to live once your in your game, going back to the dashboard freezes it again. sooo im guessing the dashboard is whats screwed up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks a bunch. All I wanted to do today was kick back and play some infuriating games online. Kinda defeats the purpose of a relaxing day off doesn't it? Xbox replied on Twitter and said they are investigating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carmona Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Is it safe to assume that all who are having issues have the older xbox models? I had that issue with my old xbox, my slim works great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
