Resolved: I never got through you hung up on me

Updated by user Feb 07, 2026

Company fixed the issue and I have been provided with full refund. I want a refund that back to a little old lady who doesn't want the next time you can't give me back my hundred dollars why.

Original review Feb 07, 2026

What happened? I'm trying so hard to get in touch with Google customer service because my product doesn't work, and I want to return it.

I can't find anybody to help me.

The biggest frustration is that I can't find one person to help me. I am an old woman; I don't know how to do this, and I told this number I'm going to throw it in the very review about I hate Google.

Actually this should be rated a big fat ZERO!!!

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

There is absolutely ZERO customer service for Nest!! No wonder RING is getting all their customers.

I seriously do not know how this company is still in business! Multiple emails over a few weeks to the supposed customer support at support@***.com with no response, no phone number to contact, just pathetic! I wanted to sign up for their nest aware service but can't and wanted to see if I could get a video from a neighbor assault with no help/response/communication.

They make it impossible for the customer to have their service, unbelievable! Save your self the headache and frustration and just go with the clear superior product which is RING!

Changed wiring for nest stats

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Need common wire to hook up Nest stat or spend more money to get kit. What a rip-off.

100-year-old building; how am I going to run new wire?

See you, Nest, going to another brand.

Watch, if you buy a new one, check wiring diagram.

Google Nest FAQs

To cancel your subscription through the Google Store, visit the Nest Subscription Management page and sign in to your account. Select the Home, go to the Subscriptions section, and click the Cancel Subscription.
You can also cancel your Google Nest subscription through the Google Home app. Tap on your profile icon, go to the Subscriptions section, select the Nest Aware subscription, and tap Cancel.

To transfer your Google Nest device to a new owner, remove the device from your account by selecting the Remove Device option in the Settings section of the Google Home app. Perform a factory reset and cancel any active subscriptions. Finally, set up the device for the new owner.

The factory reset process depends on the Google Nest device. The Google Nest Mini (2nd Gen) and Google Nest Audio can be reset by sliding the mic switch to the off position and pressing and holding the center of the device where the lights are on top for 5 seconds. Keep holding for about 10 seconds more until you hear a sound confirming the reset. To factory reset Google Nest Hub (2nd Gen), press and hold both volume buttons together on the back of the device for about 10 seconds. On the Google Home device, press and hold the microphone mute button on the back for about 15 seconds.

To connect your Google Nest device to Wi-Fi, open the Google Home app, tap the + icon to add a new device, select "Set Up Device," and find the New Devices option. Select the Home where you want to add the Google Nest device and plug it in. The app will search for your device and prompt you to connect it to your Wi-Fi network. Select your Wi-Fi network and enter the password.

Google Nest products aim to enhance convenience, security, and energy efficiency in your home. The Google Nest Mini and Nest Audio are smart speakers that allow you to play music, control smart home devices, and more using voice commands with Google Assistant. The Google Nest Thermostat helps you control your home's heating and cooling system. The Google Nest Cam can be used indoors or outdoors to monitor your home. The Google Nest Doorbell offers video streaming, two-way audio, and motion alerts, allowing you to see and communicate with visitors at your door from anywhere. The Google Nest Protect detects smoke and carbon monoxide, providing voice alerts and notifications to your phone.

If the Google Nest devices have a reliable internet connection, they update automatically, and you don't need to do anything for these updates. If you want to check for updates manually, open the Google Nest app and ensure your phone is connected to the same Wi-Fi network as your Nest device. Tap on the device you want to update and click on the Settings icon. Scroll down to the Device Information section, look for the "Software version" or "Firmware version," and you will see an option to update if it's available.

If your device isn't working, you can try using several Google Nest troubleshooting steps. First, ensure the device is plugged in securely and has power. If it's battery-operated, check the battery level. Next, make sure your device is connected to a stable Wi-Fi network. Finally, check for updates in the Google Home app under the device settings. If none of the above steps work, you may need to contact Google Nest support for further assistance.

To delete your Google Nest account, open the app on your device and enter your Google Nest login and password to sign in. Tap on the Settings icon in the top right corner and find the Account tab. Click the Manage Account button, choose the Delete Account option, and confirm your choice. You will then receive an email from account@nest.com. Read the email and click on the provided link to complete the account deletion process.
