No menu, curated art and clock only

MarsHotel
Community Member

The only functions available on the screen are the curated art and the clock.  No menus are available.  After a power cycle the menus are available again.

This has happened three times in the last few days.  I think it's triggered when my hub fails to play radio from TuneIn.  Another open issue being reported in this forum.

Thanks for reaching out — let's check this out.

 

What country are you located in? Was it working before? If so, when did it start happening? Check this guide for more information.

USA and yes it worked before just fine, but lately the only menu to appear is the curated art one. no other touch menus besides the ones at the bottom. but voice commands do work, at least the one like "show me driveway" or "show me front door". the clock is on but no temp on main screen. but you can ask for "the weather" and it tells you. i have 2 of these and both do the same. but the menu reappears and touch options work for a while. i don't reboot them, i just wait it out

My hub is in the USA.

This worked before and the menus work again after reset.

My hub as failed to play radio stations for months, none can be found.  Recently it started showing a Harry Styles video.  The menu problem came at the same time.

Yep, I have the same issue here in the UK the last few week, come down to my device, swipe the art to access the menus etc. But I just have "Curated Art" and can't access anything else like Home Control. Pulling the power and putting back in fixes it for a day or so.

 

Software: 45.1.15.450549110

Cast : 1.60.305621

Hi Stevieleedd,

 

Let's go ahead and try to uninstall the Home app, making sure that you will connect it to the same Wi-Fi network where the Google Nest devices are connected.

 

Let me know if these steps work.

Why are you constantly threatening to lock this thread?  I have done everything you have asked, and yet there is still no solution and I have not been contacted by anyone.  What is the current status of the fix for this problem?  Is there anything that can be done about it?  I continue to reset my hub on a regular basis to fix this issue.  

No it is the same and my 2nd gen hub is doing now too

Mejonyoubad

Same issue in USA.  Firmware version 6.202111....  

 

Resetting only fixes the problem for a short time.  No, I'm not going to send you pictures and you're just going to have to take my word for it.

 

Is this being worked on?

Srlawl

Everyone, I've found a little work around. Whilst there are no menu items on the device, it does still respond to voice, so I can just say "ok Google, show me the driveway" and it'll load up that Nest camera feed.

 

but more inportantly if I just say "ok Google, stop" (or anything that just halts it listening)... When it goes back to being idle, the menu is there!

Didnt work for me 😞

gmart

it comes it goes, one of my two hubs is doing it then they swap out or both. it is not happening on my hub max. or is this just some ploy to  get us to buy the 2nd gen one no one wants that spies on you at night( for a fee even). i kind of went with the google stuff only because at the time the doorbell cam was the thinnest so i went full google (never go full google) lol nvm. but since adding indoor cams, outdoor cams, thermostat and sensors, smoke and CO2 sensors, 3 hubs, the lock, and even had the alarm (that got axed shortly after)

I mostly have Echo's elsewhere in the house.  I only have the one Nest Hub and I got that because it's main use is to watch YouTube videos whilst I'm working (sit's under my monitors).

Quicker short-term fix to just clear cache in your Google home app on your phone. Immediately fixes it on hub.  Still a pretty obnoxious bug. I think I'm going to abandon the Google smart home and convert to Amazon. Googles product support has been brutal to deal with for years and I think I'm done. Good luck!

This is happening with my first gen home hub too.  Planned obsolescence?

How many times do I need to fill out the form?  I have also submitted the crash report info.  Still getting no response with a solution from Google.  Just more questions and apologies.  When is Google going to deliver a solution?
