Summary
- Users are experiencing difficulties with the new Google Home Speaker setup.
- The setup process consistently fails, leading to repeated attempts without success.
- Google is aware of the problem and is looking into it, but no updates are available yet.
Many individuals who have recently purchased the new Google Home Speaker are facing setup issues. Reports on social media indicate that numerous users are encountering an error message during their initial setup attempts:
The speaker is not fully set up. Please factory reset and set up again.
This message forces users to start over, leading to frustration. One customer mentioned that the persistent issue pushed them to consider returning the device. Others have tried seeking help from Google’s support chat with little success.
It’s important to note that this issue isn’t isolated to a single area; reports are coming from users in the United States, Canada, Croatia, Denmark, France, Japan, and the UK. The widespread nature of the problem suggests it may be a global concern.
While the exact cause of the error remains unclear, a representative from the official Google Nest Community on social media confirmed that their engineering team is looking into the matter and promised to provide updates as soon as possible.
Based on this communication, it seems that the problem could be related to software rather than hardware, but further clarification is needed. We will provide updates as they become available from Google or via social media channels.
In the meantime, for those interested in a detailed review of the speaker’s features and drawbacks, a comprehensive video review has been produced by audio specialists.
