Some system functions are downgraded from 360

For the most part, I've been really enjoying my new Xbox One. It runs way faster and more smoothly than the 360, and has a bunch of really slick features. This makes me all the more confused when I'm running into things that I would have expected to be improved
upon from the 360, and instead are far worse. I'll detail these below.

• 1. Achievement popups. I like having the little popups that say "achievement unlocked!". The 360 suffered from bad popup placement, though, often appearing over important sections of the game screen. Some titles were intelligently designed and shoved this
  popup into the extreme upper-left-hand corner, which I think is the ideal place for it. Also, some even more intelligent titles delayed the popup if there was a cutscene going until after the cutscene was finished. The popup itself on the 360 also didn't last
  very long - it'd say that an achievement was unlocked, along with how much it was worth, and the name of it. On the Xbox One, I was hoping that all achievement popups would have been placed in the upper corners, but... well, they're not. They still obscure
  important details of gameplay. They also linger on the screen longer - it still says the achievement unlocked and value, and then the name, and THEN it cycles to a THIRD section, which says "hold button to launch software", which is completely unnecessary.
  If I unlocked an achievement, it's because I was PLAYING A GAME. I don't need to hold down a button to LAUNCH THE GAME I'M ALREADY PLAYING. To make matters worse, 90% of the time, I'm not getting a popup at all! I look at my achievements page later and 7-8
  notifications will say I got an achievement, but I didn't see an in-game popup. And yes, I have double-checked my settings to make sure they're enabled. Please, PLEASE fix this functionality?
  
• 2. Achievements in same-console multiplayer. Several games I've been playing seemingly disable achievements for any players besides the primary player. More than once my younger brother, signed in on his own Xbox Live Gold account, and playing a co-op game
  with me, has done something that unlocked an achievement... which was then awarded to MY profile. This doesn't make any sense. Specific examples can be provided if requested.
  
• 3. Background downloads. The 360 had a really nice thing where, if it detected I was playing a game online or watching Netflix, it would pause any downloads I had going, and then resume them when I was done playing. The Xbox One isn't doing this. I don't
  have the best internet connection, and I always end up having to navigate to my downloads queue and manually pause the download before playing a game, and then resuming it manually when I'm done. The 360 did this by default, and I can choose to enable it on
  Steam, so... I don't know why it's not an option on Xbox One.
  
• 4. Console voice settings. Maybe I'm just not finding where this option is, but on 360 I could easily go to my profile settings and disable all voice communications. I can't find this anywhere, so I end up having to mute obnoxious players manually, which
  varies in accessibility from game to game. I'd like an option to just turn off all voices from players I'm playing online with.

Am I the only with with nothing but problems?

I get that it is completely new and I really like the system. However, from the standpoint of function and apps it isn't even close to a 360. My point is that they are slowly releasing patches to make it more user friendly like the 360, and they are slowly
releasing apps just the same as the 360. They are still trying to get to that baseline function. They should have had that baseline established when it launched.

 

GWG for April 2015

Agree but some complained to not be treated like on another platform.

So Gold has been downgraded with less apps and a "rent games" system.

Remember,that Microsoft listen to their "fans"....Usually,for the worth.
