Cannot Even Sign In To The Nest Protect Phone App

[JGAM]

I cannot access the app. to scan my Nest Protect Smoke Detector. Sign in with Google using my gmail just takes me to the Google browser. Sign in with Nest I cannot do as I need to use my Nest password, which I cannot create as I cannot access the Nest phone app. I can access the Nest Home webpage on my desktop, but that just tells me to use the app. to scan the device, which I cannot. 

Used different gmails, rebooted phone and uninstalled and reinstalled app. several times without success. Even had a tech on the phone for a while who was also unable to assist.

Ready to return.

Was wondering if it needs a 5g phone? Mine is not 5g. Please advise.

Hi @JGAM 

Is your Nest account created and used before August 19 2019?
If so your account is still a Nest account that can be migrated to your Google account.

This way you migrate from a Nest only account to your Google account. 😊
After this migration you should be able to login in the Nest app with your Google account.
