I have three devices different gens and types. 2 of them broke in the last couple weeks and won’t work at all, one of them I had to reconnect for the first time in years (but is still working for now). My WiFi is working perfectly fine on everything else I own. Is Amazon doing this on purpose leading up to Black Friday/Prime Day? Trying to force people to buy new ones? Didn’t Apple lose a lawsuit for the same shenanigans?

Left a 3 star review on Amazon last night, and explained some features that don’t work and some more I would like & got a call from them today asking about my experience and how to improve it. That’s for the echo show 11.

They told me for one of my complaints, they are pushing a fix next week.

Was actually pleasantly surprised. Anyone have a similar experience?

Alexa has been turning up the volume when playing music on Spotify and it drives me absolutely crazy.

It happens whenever music is playing on Spotify. It does get louder if there’s sound around Alexa (even if it’s just loud around one Alexa while playing on multiple at the same time) but there’s no setting such as adaptive sound or volume anywhere in my app. If I ask the Alexa app it says it isn’t available on my device.

PLEASE SOMEONE HELP

Up until a week ago “Ziggy open YouTube” or “Ziggy play YouTube” in my echo show 15 would directly open my YouTube app.

As of about a week ago, it instead opens the AppStore to the YouTube app.

I’ve been trying to troubleshoot it for about a week now with basically every option. Clear cache, clear data, uninstall YouTube then reinstall, full factory reinstall of the echo show. Nothing has worked. In fact the latest update has caused me to lose touch screen access again and now my YouTube app only works via remote.

Is there any way to fix this nonsense?

Hello. I would be grateful for advice about the following. I have 2 echo dots. Both worked fine for years. Now, when I ask for a national radio station, Alexander replies "I can't open this skill, because it's not available in your country"! Also, while I could issue separate commands previously to each dots, now they both respond! Any help would be great, thank you as I can't find anything useful on the app.

I don't go into detail why I don't use the echo show 11, but it is one of the worst products that I have bought ever. Thinking of that, I deceide to jailbreak it. I have some experience in that field and even if I break it, it is no loss, because I don't use it anyway.

To access the OS is not possible, because it has a jack which resambles a rj-45 on the outside, but with a 3x3 golden square contacts for attaching. Never seen one like this. I deceided to open it.

Disasembling the box is not difficult, you need a couple of thorx screwdrivers T5 and so on. But, when you want to access the printplate where the processor is, you need to remove the screen.

This is glued very tight and in trying that, the screens splashed like a carwindow which is hit by a rock.

I also found out that the chip is an Amazon AZ3 Pro.

I also realize that even when my screen was not shattered, doing something with de echo was for me not possible.

At random times either Alexa will be talking or I'll be listening to music and then the sound just cuts out for a while. Happens more often when listening to music. It's about to drive me nuts!

Since Alexa updated, it will not play more than 3/4 of a single song via Spotify & it's driving me nuts!

How do I fix it?

I've made both devices forget each other, tried disabling the skill, tried Bluetooth pairing the devices again. It does the same thing each time & plays 3/4 of a song then disconnects itself!!

Help, please, it's driving me nuts!!

Has anything like this happened to anyone on an Amazon Echo Show?
Yesterday around 8 pm, my 2-year-old was watching YouTube videos with toys, possibly Paw Patrol or KPop Demon Hunters. Suddenly, the video disappeared and a little girl sleeping in bed appeared on the screen. It looked like security camera footage, and we didn’t recognize her or the room.
The image seemed frozen, and we couldn’t get it off the screen until we said “Alexa, home.” Our Echo sometimes displays our home cameras, so we checked, but only our three cameras were listed.
I also checked YouTube history, but nothing stood out. Has anyone seen a scene like this inserted into a toy video, or experienced something similar on an Echo Show? It really freaked us out.

Thought I'd share a short demo with a skin/theme that will be released soon.

I was having trouble getting a recipe into my cooking library. The last resort method for this I have found is to email it to Alexa, but I couldn't remember the email address so I asked my Echo Show for the address and it responded with the right address, "alexa@alexa.com." Then my Echo Dot said, "alexa@alexa.com." Then the Echo Show said it again and so began the loop, on and on back and forth until I finally quit gaping and said, "Echo, stop." To make it weirder, that's my wake word, Echo, not Alexa.

Dear Alexa if I wanted that book added to my audible library I'd have done it myself..thanks

Asked Alexa to shop me a recipe, which is done loads of times. Today, it's decided that it cannot show recipes because of the language and region settings. I've checked, it's UK English, and based in the UK, and to the best of my knowledge I've not updated any settings either through the show, or through the app. It's an Echo Show 5 (1st generation 2019).

Anyone else with this issue? Or any fix they can think of? I've turned it off and on again too.

Amazon announced Alexa+ for India a while ago, and there was an option to enrol to get access to the new Alexa+ services. However, it’s been quite some time, and I’m wondering if anyone in India has actually received the upgrade yet.

Has anyone here been upgraded to Alexa+ on their Echo devices?

I’d love to know:

• Have you received access to Alexa+ in India?
• Which Echo device are you using?
• Does it work properly in India, or are there still limitations?
• Is the new AI-powered Alexa noticeably better than the current Alexa?
• If you enrolled for early access, did you receive an invitation or any update from Amazon?

I’m particularly interested in hearing from people who are actually using it in India, rather than just reading about its announcement.

Would be great to hear your experiences! 🙂

Hola amigos, vengo buscando ayuda para que mi Alexa reproduzca el segmento del DJ de Spotify, ya que en anteriores ocasiones ha sonado normalmente. Y ahorita pues cuando reproduzco el DJ de Spotify se queda en silencio y empieza a reproducir la música, pero después de un tiempo como que vuelve a tener el segmento del DJ y se traba y no reproduce nada
Ayúdenme si ahora es así o se me desactualizo o que ?

I am traveling with my Echo Dot. I have a routine that states the date, time, weather, & starts playing a specific radio station . Each time I get to a new location, I change the address for the echo dot. I leave my home address alone since I have routines (lights etc) set at home while I’m gone. This has been working for over a year - giving the weather in my current location. Two weeks ago, I updated the location & time zone on the device and it was fine. Yesterday I moved again & changed the address and time zone. Now it’s giving me the weather for my home address. The temp on the Home Screen shows the temp at home. And now when it’s giving me (the wrong) weather, it starts playing the radio station simultaneously.

I have deleted the routine and set it up again, unplugged the echo dot numerous times, told it to check for software updates (there were none). How do I get this to work correctly again? I think it’s tied to my changing the time zone? Please help - any ideas??? Thank you!!

I have a wired ring doorbell and connected it to several Echo Show screens. The screens are selected in the Alexa app to notify us when the doorbell is used. They do show video from the doorbell but I just can't get them to ring.

It's not because of any do not disturb setting or volume.

I just can't find any way to repair this. Any ideas?
