Xbox One News: Fixes for Problems Found; and Over Dozens of Cool Skins

Black Friday deals for the PlayStation and Xbox: Read about offers for the consoles, the games, and the accessories.

At launch, the Xbox One has not been saved from any problems spotted and experienced by users. And while some of them have been confirmed and noticed by Microsoft, there are still a number whose solutions fans are trying to find themselves.

Such is the case with the reports on games crashing or failing to load after some time. Spotted by DualShockers, the fix is found by a YouTube user who goes by the name GODtheSniper.

According to the report, the problem may be due to the RAM becoming saturated after a few days when the Xbox One does not completely flush the memory when going into power saving mode or when turned off.

The solution is to turn the Xbox One off completely. Hold the power button down for up to 15 seconds or unplug the power cord after putting the Xbox One on power saving mode. This will put the Xbox One through a cold boot, so that its RAM will completely flush.

This can become pretty standard habit every time your Xbox One displays the issue, unless Microsoft can come up with another solution to fix it.

Fixing the issue of crashing

Another problem that has seemingly been fixed is the TV judders that the Xbox One presents with due to the mismatch with the TV's Hz.

VG 24/7 spotted a potential workaround to it based on a number of other sites. What users can do is to output the matching signal 50Hz for your Xbox One, so that it matches the television.

Microsoft is offering a 3-year warranty for the Xbox One: Is it worth it?

To do this, you need to go to the Display Setting, set the console to auto-detect HDMI, then toggle the resolution from 1080p to 720p or the other way around. When prompted to keep the resolution, choose no, so that the Xbox One will think that the TV will not work with the 60Hz signal that it's giving off. This will bring it down to the necessary 50Hz.

Now the problem here is that, if you are the type of Xbox One user who switches from playing games to watching TV as many times in a day as possible, then you will have to redo this procedure just as many times.

This is because the solution is only suitable for fixing watching TV on the Xbox One. Once you play games, the 50Hz output will now cause some stuttering.

Xbox One skins: Design-your-own

Just like the PS4, there are also a number of Xbox One skins that are now being offered to make your console a little prettier or personalised.

Things you need to know about the PS4 when it launches on November 29: More apps, more games, and sites to get one without a preorder.

One fun way to do this is to make your Xbox One standard black edition into the supposed limited edition white Xbox meant only for the Xbox One launch team. Gearnuke has found a retailer going by the name of iCarbons, and they feature the white Xbox One skin, if you want to feel like you're one of the special few.

According to the report, there are also other colours that you can choose from, including neon green, reddish orange blue. Announcing on @iCarbons.com Twitter last November 26, iCarbons said, "Hoping to release Xbox One skins by tomorrow. Black Friday time is almost here!"

Another retailer, this time specialising on personalised and ready-made intricately designed Xbox One Skins is Skinit.com.

When you go to their Xbox One skin designs page, there's a step-by-step guide for those who want to personalise their consoles. In fact, you can even personalise it with your own photos, such as a great photograph of you in a concert or perhaps at a Wildcats game.
