Echo Technical Support / Re: Echo Show 5: How to get it to show the clock face?
« Last post by bitstopjoe on September 29, 2019, 03:08:26 pm » Sorry it didnt work for you. I dont have a Show 5 so I could not test it on it. On the Spot no need to go into the Home & Clock section as it is in the main menu on settings. After you did night mode, did you give it a few to go back to the full clock? Takes a few seconds on my Spot.
Hopefully, Amazon will get it going after the weekend.

The only reason I thought of it is that at a certain time the Spot near my bed goes into night mode with a softer color on the screen and that worked just fine. So the next morning I put it manually in night mode and it worked.
Glad it helped you out and possibly others who come here looking for help with the same problem.
One would think Amazon would have this workaround as I am surer we are not alone with this problem.

You would think the number of complaints I have seen about the scrolling that Amazon would get the hint and remove it. Totally spoils an otherwise amazing product.

Echo Technical Support / Routine command won't work
« Last post by Clellbritt on September 28, 2019, 09:26:53 pm »I have a routine for my son's bedtime. It dims his bed light and turns off all other lights in his room. I first set it up with the command "Alexa, goodnight Bryan" but all she does is say "Goodnight Bryan" and the routine doesn't do what its suppose to do. I've changed the name from Bryan to Sam, and others and it will work fine. But if I change it back to Bryan it just says "Goodnight Bryan". Any ideas why this wont work with his name? Thx in advance.

Worth asking for it! Good luck.

I have had it working fine since this morning that way. Give it a try.
On the Spot just go to settings and click on the quarter moon icon, that's it.

They've agreed to replace it, but they are out of stock.I know they were talking about discontinuing Echo Spot. Maybe call back and ask for a credit so you can buy another gadget?
Amazon UK and Amazon US show it of of stock as well, with no date for stocking it again.
Is the Spot a dead item?

« Last post by M.p.rohde@att.net on September 28, 2019, 01:36:39 pm »I am really frustrated when playing music from Amazon Music. It cuts out ALL OF THE TIME. Sometimes, it will speed up for a second or two, as if it is trying to catch up to where it should be.
Also, some days it just keeps saying it can’t connect to my phone.
It seems worse in the city than it does on the highway, as if every tree and light pole is blocking the WiFi.
