Blue spinning wheel and history freeze

NF
Community Member

After scrolling a few times through the video history, the video freezes and the blue wheel starts to spin forever.

The same issue has been reported multiple times by several users over the past weeks and it is extremely frustrating that it's not fixed yet. A similar report by @HamCam can be found here.

Please fix it asap otherwise Nest Cams and Nest Aware are essentially useless.

If you’re using the “Nest” app for iOS, there was an app update this week that fixed the app (5.68.1). Check the App Store.

Hey NF,

 

Appreciate the help, Rubes. I'm dropping by to ensure if everything is covered here. Hope that sheds some light on the issue.


Thanks,

The issue with the blue spinner seems solved in the latest update. However,  what I'm noticing since the latest update is that now, on an iPad Air (first gen) the entire app freezes after a bit of usage. Essentially, the whole interface becomes unresponsive and I have to force close the app.

Generally speaking, it's really frustrating to see all these bugs here and there - one gets fixed, and more get added... considering the cost of Nest Cams and, even more, the steep subscription price for Nest Aware, all these issues are super frustrating and invite me to seriously look somewhere else.

Note that I'm a customer for 5 years now, and it's been like so only since last year - something has changed... for the worse 😞

Hey NF,

 

Oh no! Sorry to hear that. Have you tried reinstalling the Google Home app to see if that helps? Also, rebooting your phone might do the trick.

 

Thanks,

Hey everyone!

 

Thanks for the help here, @Rubes, @archie and @Steve.

 

NF, we're sorry to hear about your experience as well as for the delayed response. I also understand how you feel so I want to check this further. What are the types of cameras in question? Have you tried checking it on a web browser if the same issue occurs? Have you tried rebooting your phone? Also, have you tried checking it on another phone to see if it's the same?

 

Looking forward to your response.

 

Thanks,

JT

Still happening. 

How about we hear some updates from YOU on when this issue will be solved. 

@SteveT1 … why lock a discussion when the topic has not been dealt with?
