PS4 not exiting rest mode after update?

Title says it all. Is anyone else having this issue? I've had to unplug the system for it to turn on again. Trying to turn it on I use both the controller and the button on the console and nothing happens.

@SgtSutton:

What is rest mode?

Yes, this happened to me after receiving the latest firmware update. I put the PS4 in stand-by mode and had to unplug it as it would not wake up.

i had no problem at all, I updated, left it in rest mode to charge my controllers and when they were charged I turned it off.

@GTR12: They changed stand-by to rest mode. For some reason it won't wake up.

I'm going to start just turning it off every time I use it. Is there anything wrong with doing this?

I had the same issue.

Cutting off power can cause damage to the PlayStation 4 like possible with the PlayStation 3. I would do it as few times as possible, report it to Sony, and expect a fix.

Whoever at Sony decided to rename it rest mode is an idiot.

Don't just turn it off, put it in stand-by (yes Sony, I'm calling it stand-by as we've done since it existed, go get stuffed with your rest mode bullshit), and then switch off the power at the back.

PS. "Rest mode" is a bullshit name Sony.

I have never used this Stand-by mode since I got my PS4 at launch. I always turn it off completely via the option menu. Whatever floats your boat though.

I'm having another problem I keep putting it into rest mode it stays in there for awhile and shows me with the light and after so long the whole thing just shuts down instead of staying in rest mode.

and I agree Rest mode is the most stupidest name I've ever heard, who is in control here.

Yep i'm having the same problem, can't turn system back on after it goes into rest mode.

@bezza2011:

to my experience, rest mode (yeah the name blows), turns off the orange led on top, that used to be always on during standby, however downloads are still being made, so it does not turn off the system...

I have not had this issue. Matter of fact, downloaded CoD:AW via PSN while my PS4 was in standby (rest) mode last night.

thank god for that lol. i thought my system was failing lol

Same here but from now on I am Turing it off

@dalger21: the problem is some, including me, can't turn the console back on from rest mode. You have to unplug the ps4 and plug it back in.

This happened to me once, right after the update, (had to unplug it to get it back on) but it has been doing fine since then. Hope no one is stuck with having a broken rest mode every time.

@SgtSutton: Same for me. Have to manually power up the console every morning. Then when I restart the console, it berates me for "improperly shutting down".

This happened to me once also right after the update. I will not put it in standby/rest mode again until they patch the system again.

I am having this issue as well. The only thing to do is hold down the entire power button for 10 seconds and it will do a hard power down.

@BranKetra: It's alright my console is still under warranty so Sony will have to fix it if unplugging the power cable breaks it. Hope Sony fixes this issue soon.

Same problem.

my ps4 enters the rest öode with the orange led on now, as opposed to right after the update without it turning on, however i do not have any problems... :)

Is there any update as to whether Sony is aware of this issue and plans to fix it because I accidentally put into rest mode yesterday only to kill my PS4...AGAIN. **sigh**

Yep, it's messed up. From not on I just shut it down all the way after playing. I can use my laptop to charge my controllers.

Any word when there fixing it?

Same problem to me, here. Since the last firmware update :-|

Post yr complaint here...

@SgtSutton: just bought a brand new ps4 last night, updated the software and set a few games to be installed, put the console in 'rest mode' and I had the same issue, it would not wake after being in rest mode by either power button on the console or the ps buttton on the controller, is this a software issue? As I have already had one ps4 die on me, hoping this can be easily resolved... my solution was to turn the console off by unplugging it and plugging it back in, seems to be ok now.

I haven't had any issues booting it up after being in rest mode but why did Sony have to name it rest mode that name sounds so silly.

No not having the problem yet, but I had a problem like two updates ago. When you would take the system out of standby mode it would come up with the "console was not shut down properly" error, and the PS4 would want to run scandisk on the system every time. That was a pain in the butt. Luckily the next update fixed it. So hopefully the next update will fix yours.

Any Europeans having this issue? I don't have it, yet.

I completely shut down my PS4 so I never encountered this problem, it isn't like it takes a lot of time to boot either.

@bezza2011: You should check you setting, it is probably set to stay in stand-mode for like 3h and then shut down.

@LizxLiz In case you haven't noticed this is a one year old thread, as for the booting up from the sleep mode, that was a glitch that was patched few weeks after the firmware update was released in October 2014.. To my knowledge and numerous friends I play with, there hasn't been any problems since that update.

Please don't revive year old threads.. ;p

I avoid sleep/rest mode, it's always causing PS4 to reboot/crash. I only use it when I'm charging my PS4 and it seems that if you unplug the controller before waking it from sleep mode it crashes, but I've also had it crash when powering it back up from sleep/rest mode when the controller is still plugged in so I just avoid it. I always just shut the system down unless I'm downloading something.
