Negative. But I would rebuild the database.
it's not just me: http://www.thesixthaxis.com/2015/07...-ps4-firmware-2-55-but-has-a-simple-solution/
just trying to see if anyone's found a solution!

the article you linked has "but has a simple solution" in its title
it's a simple solution that doesn't work for me. sorry should have clarified.

I installed a new HDD and after I installed the OS, I noticed random stuttering and mini freezes or pop ins or flickering. This wasn't the case with my OG HDD, so good to know it may just be an issue with the current firmware.

Im with you OP. I have to restart my console everytime i put a new disc in. Also, when i put it in sleep mode it does those beeps then when i turn it back on it acts like it was unplugged while on. Pretty annoying.
Yeah have the same problem with shutting down the damn thing correct. Maybe i'm too fast with closing a game and switching to power off but come on it should handle this easily right? It's not always that I hear the three beeps but it happens more often lately. Sometimes even Suspend mode has problems and gives me the three beeps before it finally works.

Yup I've had the same issue. You're not alone. Sony and their fuckin updates, man. Hopefully they issue a fix for this soon.

I was actually about to contact them tomorrow about mine until seeing this thread. It gives me hope!

Stability was a mistake. It's nothing but trash.

I can report that I am having the same issue here. I was thinking of making a thread about it.
Is rebuilding the database the defacto response like how the internet tells you to always format your PC without actually identifying the fault?
I thought something was up! Glad to see I'm not the only one who is dealing with this. I have to completely restart the PS4 to use a new disc.

It is just the easiest, and most harmless to start off with in case a file somewhere is corrupt or out of place.
Start there, then troubleshoot some more if it persists.
What do you have to offer this thread?

PS4 firmware updates are more likely to cause problems than not imo. I dread them.

Sorry to hear you have those problems, I haven't had any problems with my PS4 but I am also not using rest mode that often.
Well, look at the bright side, at least you still have three more working PS4's than most people in this thread.

I think it's amazing how certain Sony updates fuck their drives. I heard some complaints with the PS3, and now PS4?
I hope an update won't fuck my Sony Bluray player.

Yeah, definitely acting strangely.
Played Batman last night, and now, after 20 hours the screen suddenly freezes for 5 secs every 5 minutes. Still playable but stange behaviour!

I've been having these problems as well. I notice it tends to happen after a long time spent in rest mode.
I usually want to play The Witcher but it is unable to read the disc. I have to restart the entire system in order for the disc to be recognized.
I thought maybe the disc was scratched, but it was in prestine condition. Which is good, seeing that I have hired a guard to monitor the disc whilst I am asleep in my bed chambers.
My boyfriend doesn't approve of these arrangements.

That is what I've been experiencing

My PS4 has had the same disc reading issues as well (we're talking every single perfectly disc won't read until reboot). This has happened twice in the last two weeks. It just refuses to read anything.
It also has got hung up where I ejected a disc while it was off, which turned it on, and I hit the power button ~10 seconds later, which caused it to get stuck in limbo. It displayed nothing to my TV, the controller and system were on, and the power button did nothing, requiring me to pull the cable since nothing else was working.
It's not like my Xbone has been flawless either- randomly won't read discs and lots of weird app and game crashes (Twitch in particular).
Game systems, man.

I had this yesterday as well. It's the kind of freezing that I get on my phone when I have too many tabs open.
Me too! I didnt know if my PS4 was dying or what....I went to switch from MLB to The Witcher and I popped the disc in and it took forever for XMB to respond like I was using a really old web browser or something and then I went to TW3 icon and it said "can not start application" And then I was able to restart the PS4 and was able to play like normal.

You could try reinstalling/repairing the OS, if it was the most recent update that messed it up (suggesting it's a software issue) perhaps a clean install would fix it.

I have been getting this as well. Rebuilding the database didn't fix it but did give me the odd error of having to redownload a bunch of game updates. After plenty of searching here is what I found out and I haven't had the long shut down time-generic three beep error since.
The three beeps are likely telling you that something had to be force closed. To prevent this, simply wait a few minutes to shut down after closing programs. Just leave the system be for a bit and then power down. You'll notice it powers down much quicker and without error.
The Ps4 is set to force close/stop any programs or processes that haven't ended after so long once you start the shut down process. If it has to force stop something it will give you the generic three beep "oops" notification. This error also happens when PSN is experiencing issues as the system is trying to connect to PSN but can't and then the shut down process has to force it to stop.
That is just what I have been able to gather about the three beep error on shut down. Not sure of the validity behind the reasoning but I can say that during the week I've been letting the system 'rest' before shut down I haven't gotten the beeps.
