Nest Hub showing colour cycle/rainbow

PenFolo — Wed, 08 Jun 2022 08:14:51 GMT

My Google Nest Hub still functions as a speaker, responds to voice commands and even responds to touch input but the screen no longer shows what it should, instead cycling through full-screen colours and shades of grey, including the one pictured below that looks like the old rainbow screen you'd see on a TV when the channel was out.

I've tried factory resetting it but no change. Tried switching it off for a couple days and then back on and the screen worked as normal for a couple minutes then reverted to the colour cycle.

Anyone had similar issues or know of a solution?

Hey PenFolo,

Thanks for sharing details about the issue here. I know how challenging it is, not having a working device when needed. I'd love to dig deeper into this. A few questions: when did the issue start? When and where did you purchase your Google Nest Hub? What is the current firmware version of your Nest display?

To check which firmware version you're on, follow these steps:

Open the Google Home app.
Touch and hold your device's tile.
Tap Settings > Device information.
Under 'Technical information', check for Cast firmware: X.XXX.XXXXX.

I'll wait to your response.

Cheers,

Muddi

Hi Muddi,

The issue started around the new year, but would occasionally revert to normal at first. For the last two or three months it's been consistently displaying the colour screens.

I got the device as part of my electricity and gas tariff from my supplier which, at the time, was Southern Energy. It would have been October/November 2020.

The current firmware version is: 6.20211109.1.3166232
