    Love these Echos.....got first one as a gift a few years ago, thought it was a gimmicky toy and didn't connect if for awhile. When I finally did, and realized all the cool things it could do I went out and got six more , one for every room and the garage. Great for setting alarms, timers and reminders, playing selected music, answering questions and a ton of other cool things. Don't know how they do it, but they do it well. This last one was bought as a gift.

    • Brand response from Amazon Devices Customer Support
      Posted .

      Hello Velavan! I am so sorry to hear that your Echo Dot is getting stuck. It may be requiring an update to help prevent bugs like this from occurring. You can check this by saying "Alexa, check for updates." If this does not fix the issue, then you can factory reset the device and reset it back up. You can do this by pressing and holding the Action button and Volume Down button simultaneously for 30 seconds or more until the yellow light begins flashing. It will take roughly a minute or two to come back up after factory reset. Once this is done, you can follow the setup instructions in your Alexa smartphone app to set it back up. If this doesn't help, then I would recommend contacting Amazon Customer Support at 888.280.4331 for further troubleshooting. I do hope these tips help you improve your experience and that you have a tremendous day! AmazonDevices

    If I hadn't waited so long to return it, I would of. Such a tedious setup. You have to be standing next to your router to install this thing. Just buy a speaker, this thing is pointless in my opinion.
