PS4 sleep mode: problems since firmware update 2.0
The firmware update 2.0 causes problems with the PS4 sleep mode. However, they are easy to fix. In our practical tip, we will show you how.
Install new firmware update
Some users cannot activate the PS4 if the console goes into sleep mode after the firmware update to 2.0. In addition, there should be problems with the YouTube app and the volume of the console. However, firmware update 2.1 has now been released, which is intended to solve the problems mentioned.
- Start the PS4.
- Choose your user account. Press up on the directional pad and then select "Settings".
- Press the "System software update" option here.
- The new firmware version should now be displayed.
- Select "Next" and then "Update". Now follow the further instructions on the screen.
You should note this without Update 2.1
If you cannot or do not want to install the latest firmware update 2.1, you can consider the following tips:
- You should first refrain from activating sleep mode. If you no longer want to use your PS4, simply switch it off completely.
- If there are also problems with the picture and sound, you should switch off your PS4 and your television for a few minutes and then disconnect the HDMI cables between the devices.
- If the sound problems are still present, resetting the system settings could help.
