Nest app will not finish setup

Gars
Community Member

After my “learning” Nest was installed and operating correctly since February, it went offline.

I have reset the thermostat for WiFi, etc.

I went to set up the app, and it freezes after I select the thermostats location.

I have removed and reinstalled the app, but it still freezes and will not finish.

Halp!

Hi Saramirez, 

 

Thanks for posting here in the Community forum, and I'm sorry to hear about the situation. I want to check if you are still in need of any help. If so, please answer the following:

 

  1. Are you located from North America or Europe?
  2. What type of Nest Thermostat do you have? 
  3. Are you setting up the thermostat on Nest app or Google Home app? 
  4. What is the exact message or code that the app shows when it freezes?
  5. Did you try using the Help Center or troubleshooter before contacting support? If so, which steps have you tried already?

 

I'll look forward to your response. 

 

Best,

I have the same issue of my setup freezing up as I’m setting up the location for my nest gen 3 thermostats. Located in North America, set up on the Nest app. Tried using the help section but need help now!

Hi Armour,

 

Thanks for letting us know. I'd like to help. Please reinstall your Nest app. After that, try to set up your Nest Thermostat again. This time, once the page freezes up, wait for 5 or more minutes until the setup proceeds. If the issue persists, we can isolate it further by using a different mobile device to setup your thermostat.

 

Let me know how it goes.

 

Best regards,

Jenelyn

I'm having the same issue and have went through all the troubleshooting steps. I just reset the modem and router as well as deleted the Nest App and then reinstalled it. I reset the thermostat and also tried a different Nest Learning Thermostat and had the same issue. 

Hi williamswesley,

 

Thanks for being a step ahead of us. Did you receive any messages or codes in the Nest app? Were you able to wait for 5 minutes or more until the page goes through? 

 

Kind regards,

Jenelyn

No, no error codes. App just freeEs and won’t assign a room to thermostat

Hi folks,

 

To confirm, were you able to wait on the same screen for at least 5-7 minutes? If the issue persists, try using a different device to setup your Nest Thermostat.

 

Kind regards,

Waiting the 5-7 minutes after the location was chosen and the screen froze,  did the trick....It connected!
