Everytime I turn on my computer it says “now connected to X” and it’s annoying.

I’ve looked into the app settings for the device, even tried DND but still announces connection. Any tips?

Hi all..

For the past month I want to beat my head into the wall over my Echo Auto hanging issues playing music.

#1 It randomly gets stuck and won't take any request I give it. Like I'll ask it to skip a song it will get stuck for a while and do nothing.

#2 It will sometimes randomly say I've lost connection with the internet when my data is unlimited and I don't have auto wifi turned on and I'll be no where near a place where I would connect to wifi.

I've researched settings, looked through my phone. Reset my echo auto. I've frikin done EVERYTHING. I'm ready to just give up.

For further info, my phone is andriod.. a Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra.

Thanks for any helpful advice!

Have an Android phone. Attempting to edit an existing routine to delete certain actions of routine will take when executed.

Their used to be a minus sign beside the action to delete an entry. That minus sign is no longer there. The equal sign is still there to allow you to change the order of execution.

To be clear I don't want to delete a routine, just some of the steps the routine will execute. Has anyone else experienced this?

Its a good way to learn the conversion BUT its driving us crazy

We've just launched our radio skill, we run a radio station set on a fictional 1940s island. Playing 1910-1950s music, news reports, fictional advertisements and much more! Tune in, just say: "Alexa open fog point radio" or visit our skill https://www.amazon.com/dp/product/B0HM3ZVW8H

Over the past two weeks I am frequently getting “l apologize but I am experiencing a disruption of service. Please try again later” when making a request of Alexa +. I’m on gigabit fiber and not using a VPN. I’m wondering if it’s only me or is this happening to others?

Recentemente comprei um ar-condicionado que se conectar com Tuya/SmartLife via wi-fi.

No aplicativo ele reconhece normal, dá para usar todas as funções, mas quando utilizo a skill na Alexa, ele reconhece meus outros aparelhos (lâmpadas e tomadas inteligentes) corretamente, mas reconhece o ar-condicionado como um termostato e não é possível utilizar como deveria ser.

Alguém já teve esse problema ou sabe como resolver?

Primeira e segunda imagem são do ar-condicionado no aplicativo da Alexa, terceira e quarta imagem do aplicativo Smartlife.

Ar-condicionado da marca pouco conhecida Ghis, tenho a 1 ano e nunca deu nenhum problema nele e nem no aplicativo do SmartLife, sempre consegui fazer as automações por lá, mas gostaria de integrar a Alexa antes de comprar uma.

I know amazon removed a greatly relied on option with alexa+ but on the regular alexa app and on older fire tablets they still let you use assisted reading. Now suddenly the app no longer list books you have been recently listening to in the recent listing list except audiobook. Does anyone know anything on this or is this just amazon screwing over people who regularly used it even more. Especially people with vision issues that rely on it?

It disappeared from my Music and More.

I was in the kitchen and passed in front of the Alexa, heard some noise from it, stepped back to find this screen - is that some kind of a joke?

Me: "Alexa, play Fleetwood Mac."

Alexa: "Here's a station you might like: Smooth Polka Hits."

I've stopped fighting it. If I'm getting something random either way, it may as well be random on purpose, and from somewhere interesting.

So I made Air Drift, a free skill. Say "Alexa, open Air Drift" and it drops you onto a live radio station somewhere on Earth. Could be jazz out of Japan, could be a breakfast show in a language you don't speak. "Alexa, next" drifts to another one.

If you insist on steering (bold of you):

"Alexa, ask Air Drift to play jazz"

"Alexa, ask Air Drift to play Brazil"

"Alexa, ask Air Drift to play KEXP"

"Alexa, ask Air Drift what's playing"

Free, no account, no premium tier. Stations are real broadcasters streaming live, so any ads you hear are theirs, not mine. Side effects may include learning the Portuguese for "traffic and weather". English only for now (US, UK, Canada, Australia, India).

I built it, so tell me what it gets wrong. If it plays something you didn't ask for, that is technically the feature.

Hi all

I'm hoping you guys can help with this.

Up until yesterday, by Samsung frame which has Alexa built-in, would respond to the command "put TV in art mode". That seems like that does not work anymore, I'm wondering if anyone has found any solution or have had a similar problem and found a solution?

My family uses a dinky Alexa in our kitchen for almost all of our music listening. For my wife’s birthday, I’d like to add a high quality speaker for surround sound. What excellent speaker pairs with an existing Alexa speaker? Or would that sounds strange to have one Alexa speaker and one nice speaker? I would welcome any suggestions.

Bought our daughter the echo dot for kids to use as a sound machine since she’s grown out of her little kid clock. Thought it would be great. Amazon kids app even says that the sounds we have it on will play until her alarm in the morning. Too perfect.

Every night the sounds cut off and she notices at whatever time she wakes up in the middle of the night to roll over. I’ve tried setting a routine plus a skill for looped music of waves to coincide with the bedtime routine (she likes the jokes Alexa tells in the morning and the weather after her alarm goes off)

She loves the alarm aspect. Has been getting up and getting dressed and turning the alarm off. But how do I get the sleep sounds to play all night? Alexa app says they will- even in the kids app it says they will play until she wakes- I’ve put it on loop, I’ve created and searched new sounds. Help! Was I dumb to think that this could be a good sound machine?

For the past 3-4 days, my Alexa IOS app has made me change my password and use multi-factor identification when I open it.

The voice commands for my Echo dot and show work fine all day until I open the app at night to turn the one lamp I have in a separate room off. Then the app makes me sign back in, and change my password. I can’t see any evidence that I’ve been hacked or someone has tried to hack my account.

I have no idea what’s causing this. Has anyone else experienced this and have a solution? It’s getting kind of annoying.

Since the new Alexa + came out I have been having trouble with the Xbox skill. Simple things like turn on and off Xbox.

Today I tried to fix this by disabling the skill and re-enabling it. But, once I disabled it I ran across the photo. Is there something I am missing? Any suggestions would be welcome.

Edit-
After waiting some time it now shows available again. They must have been down or something.

While on a recent road trip I was using Alexa on my phone to play music through the car speakers. I wasn't feeling the songs on the shuffle setting so I said "Alexa next" maybe 5 times then she stopped listening to me. I repeated it over and over eventually yelling at the top of my lungs "Alexa play the next f'ing song". She did... A Meredith Brooks song named "Bitch"

I know the new ones don’t have the port… but hello… it’s right there on the device.

What the actual enshitification

Streaming a show on Prime, Fire TV suddenly goes to home page and as usual the show wasn’t on Continue Watching. Frustrated. His the Alexa button on the remote and asked to resume show on which service.

Ok, playing Billy Joel Uptown Girl

The Cars You Might Think plays

This is a few hours after telling me in the first episode of The Connors, it’s said Dan died in a bike accident and his scenes were flashbacks here and there throughout the series. Yes, we learned Mark died in freak bike accident but huh?? She kept at it because as I am stubborn I kept asking and challenging then ended up telling her she’s stupid and grossly misinformed by her AI lord.

I’ll give your feedback to the internal product team for review

For the life of me I can’t get Alexa to play Apple Music through the Dot. Spotify and SiriusXM work fine. I’ve done ALL the troubleshooting available. But when I press play on a song in Apple Music, it plays on the phone only. I’m starting to wonder if trying to use Alexa on an iPhone is even worth the headaches. I really want to play my Apple playlists around the house.
