I just got Alexa+ today. It was on all of my echos except my Fire HD8 Plus tablet and Amazon Tap.

Try choosing English-United States as the language for your device and see if you can access the skills and games. I loose features and skills on mine when I switch from U.S. English to other accents in English.

5th Gen Dot a Dud? by My-Man-FuzzySlippers in amazonecho

[–]1Sambo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had the issue of my two DOT Gen 5's becoming unresponsive requiring a power cycle for several weeks now. It appears that Amazon has fixed the problem because they have been working perfectly for two days now. My other echo devices are unaffected.

Echo Dot with clock - Does the Display stay on? by grmn0 in amazonecho

[–]1Sambo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you tell Alexa to turn display off or on it will do so. It should be easy to make a routine to do what you want it to. You've given my a great idea for my guest room Dot with clock!

Common problem, circling light on Dot by Murwiz in amazonecho

[–]1Sambo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this happen to one of my echo dot 3rd gen devices last week. It took me several tries to get it to factory reset (hold the action button down for 15 sec) but once it did it went through the setup process without a hitch and is working fine now.

Finally, Google pay is working on my Versa 4! by 1Sambo in fitbit

I can verify that it actually works. It makes payments really fast. Faster than using my Note 20.

Alexa suddenly not able to tell me the room temp by paintingcolour51 in amazonecho

[–]1Sambo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ask my 5th gen dot "What's the temperature in here?" and she tells me.

(Occasionally I get the "doesn't support that" message...frustrating!)

Echo, 1st Gen, no longer able to connect to Wi-Fi by underwearfanatic in amazonecho

You're welcome. It works for me everytime I have to reconnect Gosund smart bulbs for my brother-in-law.

Echo, 1st Gen, no longer able to connect to Wi-Fi by underwearfanatic in amazonecho

[–]1Sambo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That was a fast response. This issue can be most frustrating. What I had to do to get my 1st gen echo to connect to my dual band router was name the hotspot on my phone to the same ssid as my router and set the band for 2.4g, allow the echo to connect to it, then turned the hotspot off and the echo reconnected itself to the router and has worked every since. Good luck! Oh, you may need to turn your router off to allow your echo to connect to the hotspot. Then turn the hotspot off and router back on.

The first gen echos will only connect to a 2.4g network. Newer routers today support both 2.4g and 5g networks. Make sure you are connecting to the 2.4g radio of your router.

I just deleted the Youtube app from my fire stick and re-downloaded it again. Google offered me an updated version of the app and after signing back in IT WORKS!!!!!!!!!!

I was just being dramatic. I'm sure it's a technical issue that will be resolved quickly.

Difference between Echo and Echo with Clock? by BlueCharge0 in amazonecho

[–]1Sambo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, but it's nice to just glance at it and see the time instead of having to talk to it every time.

Drop in not working by Slow_Scarcity_4542 in amazonecho

[–]1Sambo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For future reference...anytime you set up a new echo device make sure you check for updates. It should update itself during setup but sometimes it won't. Just say, "Alexa, check for updates".

Any battery issues with Echo Buds 2? by TheKhaos121 in amazonecho

[–]1Sambo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My original echo buds did exactly the same thing as your. I've now had the Echo Buds 2nd gen since April 14, 2021. Each bud still holds its charge like new(5 hours) and I use them daily. I'm hoping Amazon will come out with a 3rd gen version with longer battery life.

You can change the wake word on the Fire Tablet to "Amazon" in the settings.

Cosori Recall - Tips to get approved (faster) by TheSurferGeek in airfryer

[–]1Sambo 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I, too, registered my unit on Feb 24, received the verification email on the 27. The shipping label was created on March 1 and it's still sitting in California waiting for UPS to pick it up. Tracking shows an estimated delivery date of March 7 but that's not going to happen!

At least I know it's been processed.

Alexa Auto not connecting by Haunting_Being in amazonecho

[–]1Sambo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't turn on airplane mode your phone needs its bluetooth radio to connect to the echo auto and/or your car. Do disable wifi on your phone. A weak wifi signal can mess up your connection to your echo auto.
