I can't run Device Utility on my Pixel 7 -- so I can not install or connect to Google Nest speakers
- Device Utility App will not install on my phone - as the play store tells me that it is only available to run on older systems.
I'm using a Pixel 7 and have Android 15 running.
Many people seem to have this same issue, and have for some time. It appears Google is just to incompetent to fix this very serious issue. It should be a no-brainer that a company with millions of customers and hundreds of thousands of users for this type of product would make this a priority but it seems like NOT!!!
I just bought six of these Nest speakers. Should I just return them to the store??
They are currently just very expensive Bricks at this point, and I'm very disappointed that Google would not have proper management in place to ensure this type of thing would not happen, or if it does then at least have it fixed in a reasonable period of time.
I already returned another brand's smart speaker for the same reason several months ago and expected that this issue would be fixed, or It would at least work with Google Speakers!
I wasted hours trying to figure out how this could work, and then more time still talking to the tech support that said it was a known issue and they could not help me.
I’ve read that you can use a APK package to install a different version, but have also read that many users has serious issues because of this fix, and it seems ridiculous that Google could not fix this issue directly in short order.
