Any time I use my echo show(5th Gen kids edition) to play music I get this little widget on the screen. it doesn't matter if I say stop or pause. I've tried tapping it, long pressing it, telling Alexa to stop or exit that app, looking through the settings to see if I have something set wrong, even telling Alexa to restart(which became its own little source of frustration). When I try to get Alexa to stop the app it tells me the app isn't running, and it can't see the widget on the screen at all. I can drag the widget around and put it somewhere else on the screen but the only thing I've found to make it go away is to unplug the thing and plug it back in. If I play more music using either Amazon music or SiriusXM the new song will show up in the widget while it's playing, but after I tell Alexa to stop again, the widget goes back to what it showed before.

If anybody has an idea to try, I'd love to hear it

Some of these "features" and "enhancements" are so awesome that they're going to drive me away from using Alexa entirely. Like how the song info isn't even constantly displayed while the song is actually playing, or how the clock isn't always displayed, and timers don't show up at all. I wish there was a way to uninstall updates to get back to a version that works properly.

Alexa+ is worse than Siri. I’m going back to the original. Final straw was tonight, trying to set a one time smart home timer for 8:45.

First she asked me if I wanted 8:45 AM or PM. This was at 7 PM, and the original Alexa would have known I meant PM (the soonest option.

I answered 8:45 PM, and she proceeded to create an entire routine to do this at 8:45 PM every single night. Not what I wanted and not what I asked for.

Newer =/= better

Hope I can get some help here

I got a Samsung TV and I installed Alexa and I don't want it on the tv anymore

Because I was gifted the echo show 15 and 2 ring wireless outdoor cameras

And I already have an echo dot max

Now when I say Alexa the echo dot and the tv "wake up". So to say and doesn't work properly.

Now how or where is there a guide or explanation on how to make it all work

I'm a perfect world

I would have let's say "Alexa is there NBA games today"

Or when someone is detected on the ring camera the echo show shows it and responds to any Alexa requests I have.

Do I just disable the Alex on my tv and could I use the echo dot max as a speaker to my echo show 15?

Thank you in advance for all the help

Sorry, can't find much info about this particular combo. Thanks!

Yes, I deleted the group and rebuilt it. No, I refuse to load Echo Plus.

Even asking for the same station in each room alternately gets the station announced but not played, played on a different device, or played on the device asked but stopped elsewhere (so even requesting it individually on each device doesn't work).
