Chromecast with Google TV - soft restart not working

by opeydopey

Hi all,

As per the title. The unit is great, but if I do a soft restart via the menu, it just goes into a boot loop with the logo and I have to pull the power.

Kernel version 4.9.180

QTS2.200918.033.7115981

Any ideas appreciated!

EDIT: Replacing the USB C hub fixed it. Thanks u/systembomb.

Are you using a USB C Hub? Depending on the hub I have seen others report a similar issue.

I have the same build and have only had this since Friday night 4/2. This morning there is voice control and navigation within apps (once opened with voice) but home screen is unresponsive except to move on and off of “For You”. First I tried re-pairing remote, that was a hassle where I had to download Android TV app and then it still didn’t work to navigate home screen. I pulled the power plug and waited 5 minutes. Good as new lol. Try doing that. Seems like when it’s left in standby for too long without shutting down (which there doesn’t seem to be an actual “Off” button for the chromecast) it starts to have issues with wifi connectivity etc

Edit: I’m sorry I’m re-reading you HAVE pulled the power. Maybe this isn’t the same issue. Does pulling power make it work for you?

Soft restart? Isn't that just a restart or reboot?
