Google Home only sends notification, rather than calling my phone.

Hi, 

When I tell google home to call my phone, it only send one push notification rather than calling my phone. 

 

Notifications are all enabled on my phone, as well as the google home app.

I am having the same problem, the google hub and nest says it calling but all I get is a notification.  I want it to actually ring my phone.

Hi everyone,

 

Thanks for reaching out.

 

Sorry to hear about this. A few things I'd like to ask-- have you made any changes on the settings prior experiencing this? Also, have you checked if the "Do not Disturb" option is enabled? Lastly, kindly provide the cast firmware of your Google Nest speakers?

 

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

  1. Make sure your mobile device or tablet is linked to the same account as your speaker or display.
  2. Open the Google Home app Google Home app.
  3. Touch and hold your device's tile.
  4. At the top right, tap Settings and then Device information.
  5. Under "Technical information," find Cast firmware: X.XXX.XXXXX.

Keep me posted.

 

Best,

Princess

Hello Princess,

i have two:

hub: 1.56.290464

nest: 1.56.282045

When asking google to call, having my do not disturb enable or not creates the same response on my phone.   A sound will be produce quickly by my phone and a banner will appear:”CRITICAL
now
Finding your phone with Assi..
Tap or swipe to silence the sound”

not very helpful when you are trying to find your phone!

This feature worked great for a couple of years on my nest, but stopped working several months ago.  Since that time I also purchased and installed the 2nd gen Hub.  Neither work at calling my phone.  

thanks in advance
