Nest Hub max missing app launcher

Nrage89
Community Member

I’m in australia and just bought a nest hub max only to find out the app launcher is missing. I can’t find anywhere about any geo restrictions on this feature. 
if I swipe up I only get the settings bar with brightness/volume etc

Any advice would be great

Hi Nrage89,

 

Thanks for reaching out.

 

Sorry to hear about what's happening with your Nest Hub Max. Could you please provide us the cast firmware version of it so we can check what's causing this?

 

To check the firmware version:

  1. Make sure the mobile device is connected to the same Wi-Fi or linked to the same account as the Google Nest or Home device.
  2. Open the Google Home app .
  3. Tap the device card of the preferred speaker or display.
  4. At the top-right, tap Settings Settings and then Device information.
  5. Under Technical information, find Cast firmware:X.XXX.XXXXX.

Keep me posted.

 

Best,

Princess

System firmware version: 295071
Cast firmware: 1.56.295071

Hi Nrage89,

 

Thanks for responding.

 

Have you already tried to perform a complete reset to see if this will change? Let's go ahead and try that and let me know how it goes.

Yes I tried a full reset and have the same issue

The form keeps failing to submit asking me to refresh page. I have tried different devices and browsers but it still won’t submit.

Hi Nrage89,

 

Sorry for that. It is now up and running so you can go ahead and try it. Let me know once you're done.

Thanks for your help, I got onto someone in the support chat and they said it isn’t a feature in Australia which is very disappointing considering it was the main reason I got the max.

Hi Nrage89,

 

Thanks for responding. 

 

Since this feature is not yet available on your location, I'd like to encourage you to send a feedback from your end and we’re hoping for all these possibilities to be available on all Google Nest Hub users all over the world.

 

Best,

Hi GarrettDS

Yes I did. Just disappointing that this restriction isn’t documented anywhere
