Wrong timezone on Chromecast 3

sagrav84 — Mon, 24 Jun 2024 05:16:44 GMT

Even after 1 year that Mexico eliminated DST, Google keeps changing the timezone on my Chromecast 3... are you ever going to fix?

Don't ask to factory reset as that does not work, and I have the correct time zone selected. I am located in Guadalajara, Jalisco.

Hi @sagrav84

I'm going to check on this for you with our Community Specialists. I really thought this time zone issue was long resolved...guess I'm wrong!

Thanks for reporting and we'll post back...

Hi @sagrav84,

Thanks for posting here in the community! I'm sorry to hear about your experience with the time zone on your Chromecast 3rd gen. I understand how frustrating that can be. I also appreciate @JillG for chiming in!

To better assist you, I'd like to ask a question:

Where did you get the Chromecast 3rd generation?

In the meantime, here are a couple of troubleshooting steps you can try:

Verify that your current address in the Google Home app matches the location of your Chromecast. Incorrect addresses can cause time zone issues, especially if you're in a different country.
Ensure the phone's location is enabled. You can find instructions in this article: Nest phone location.

Let me know how it goes.

Best regards,

Jenniffer

Hi @jenniffert, the problem is with my 2 devices, both purchased in Amazon Mexico, so they are not from another country or any other crazy thing

My account has the correct address and phone also has location enabled (which reminds me that Google Maps has a problem with this as well, ETA is shown with a different time zone, but that is problem for other topic, yet related).

Thanks for the referral @JillG

Guess it will never be solved... No one ever pays attention to that feedback, specially with other "more important" issues that Google has, and that I am the only one reporting this problem.

Thanks anyway.
