TL;DR

New Google Home Speaker users have been encountering errors during device setup.

Google confirmed awareness of the issue yesterday, and said it was working on a fix.

That fix is now rolling out, and should hit everyone within 24 hours.

Google announced its Home Speaker all the way back at the start of last October, and it took until just a few weeks ago before interested shoppers could finally get their orders in . With the Home Speaker now here , there’s already a lot of controversy over whether or not it was worth the wait — and that’s assuming you can even get it working. Some users have been running into a bug that prevents them from setting up the Home Speaker , but we’ve now got some good news to share with them.

As you may remember (or know from your own unfortunate experience), users encountering this glitch found themselves facing the message, “The speaker is not fully set up. Please factory reset and set up again.”
