Unresponsive nest hub

My nest hub quite regularly becomes unresponsive while displaying photo albums.

The unit is still on and scrolling through picture's but the touch screen in unresponsive and I can't get to any menus. 

I need to remove power to get functionality back. This is happening 2-3 times a week.

Hey mikeyfabio,

 

Thanks for reaching out and we're sorry for the delayed response.

 

A few questions: when did it start happening? Is it still responding through voice commands? Also, can you still control it using the Google Home app?

 

What's the cast firmware and software version of your Google Nest Hub? Could you try resetting it to see if it'll do the trick?

 

Best,

Alex

It's been happening on and off for a couple of months.
it does still respond through voice commands, but I'm not sure if it's still responding through the app as I haven't checked it.
Both units I have of this type seem to be the same (original nest hubs).
 
The screen just stays on the screen saver/clock/phot album etc. without being able to get to any of the menu/touch options.
 
fuscia version is 6.20211109.1.3166240
the software version is 45.1.15.450549110
cast firmware is 1.60.305621
 
I'll try resetting later, but it can be a few days until I know if the problem still persists.

Hello mikeyfabio,

 

How's it going with your Nest Hub? Did resetting your device work?

Hey mikeyfabio,

 

One quick final check in here since activity has slowed down. We'll be locking the thread in the next 24 hours, but if you still need assistance, feel free to start a new thread in the community and we’ll be happy to help.


Best,

Alex

I've been busy so only just had chance today to reset the unit.  I don't know if that has fixed the unit but I go away tonight for a couple of weeks. 

 

You need to leave threads open longer than you do as we can't always react within a couple of days. 

 

It also does something some nights which alters the display settings and the clock stays on which is very annoying as  its in our bedroom.

I've returned form holiday and done a reset on the nest hub and it's still becoming unresponsive. it does seem to usually do this overnight currently, so whatever system checks or updates that are occurring overnight are causing issues with the screensaver settings and making the unit useless for touch use.
