Cant turn screen off while playing music/podcasts

Velvetrush — Wed, 24 Nov 2021 12:11:22 GMT

I just upgraded my nest mini to the hub v2. I like to listen to podcasts while I go to sleep but the display screen stays on the Spotify display. If I try and swipe back to the clock etc, the music stops playing. How is having a glowing screen in your face helping anyone sleep? How can I turn the screen off and and and still play my podcast?

Just got it myself and it seems that saying "Hey Google - screen off" works, but you have to tell it to start playing whatever it was again from your phone. This also only works for the file currently being played, as it stops after the end of it (so no playlist).

Kindof disappointing restriction that seems pretty needless.

I've tried a variety of things but whenever I start playing my music/podcast again, the screen just returns to displaying the media screen. If I try and turn the screen off or swipe the screen away, it stops playing. For a device that boasts all its sleep Health features it's quite stupid. Lol.

This always used to work fine on radio streams, but stopped a couple of days ago. "Go home" or screen swiping now stops the stream when it once was ok. "Resume" starts plating again, but then you're back to having the display on - utterly frustrating...

Any updates to this, anyone?

Nope 🤨 I've abandoned any sleep sensing so I can turn the screen away from me. Such a disappointing issue.

I can recommend a jiffy padded envelope placed over the whole hub - not quite what was intended I'm sure, but unlikely to be broken by a software update...

I’ve started telling my hub screen off and play. It turns the screen off and then resumes the podcast/song

This is what I am currently doing. A quick fix, but not a solution.

What version is installed on your NestHub? Have you already received the new update?

Re: Cant turn screen off while playing music/podcasts

Cadesius — Mon, 11 Apr 2022 22:45:43 GMT

Yes, the problem started after the newest update.

Reboot didn't work. The screen still doesn't turn on while being casted to.
