1) Reset factory setting holding volume keys doesn't resolve the problem
2) Unplug unit for 5 minutes doesn't resolve the problem
3) Switch off router for 5 minutes doesn't resolve the problem

Hey there,

Sorry for the late response, but I wanted to drop in here to help. 

 

I understand that these issues can be confusing but I definitely wanted to stop by and see how I could help. 

 

Just wanted to double check to see if you were still needing help on this? If so, what troubleshooting steps have you tried? 

 

Please let me know. 

 

Best regards, 

Garrett DS

Yes i definitely still need help.

The Google Nest Hub has just started to go into a start up loop.

* The grey G screen appears, then momentarliy the screen turns off and the device loops back to the grey G screen.

* I have unplugged and re plugged repeatedly (even leaving it unplugged overnight and attempting again in the morning

* I've done the two finger volume factory reset - this occurs, Hub counts down on the reset, then once count down completed it returns to the grey G start up loop.

What has caused this ? How can it be fixed?

Thanks

Dan

Hi:

I'm the original poster of this thread which was migrated from the old forum. I just wanted to comment and share my experience about this problem with the community.

First of all I contacted Amazon (who sold me the device). They asked me to contact Google. A very nice person from Google Support phoned me and after repeating the above steps, he told me that, unfortunately, the device was dead and that they were going to replace the device. He asked me for the serial number and my mailing address.

After waiting a week without news I contacted Google again and they told me that they are not going to do anything because I did not buy the device in the Google Store. So, I contacted Amazon again and they told me that they will refund my money because they can not replace this product since they do not sell it (or any other Google Assistant).

To sum up, Google has no solution for this error except reset factory setting. If that doesn't work, I am sorry but your device is dead like mine is. At the end, I am left without the Google Nest Hub, which was a Valentine's Day gift from my recently deceased husband that kept me company in my reading and sewing afternoons.

Kind regards.

Thanks for sharing - I’m sorry to hear if the loss of your husband - hope you got your refund.
