Q: alexa does not always respond when I talk to it

submitted by smith - 1 month ago
  • A: Hello smith, Thank you for your question. Sorry to hear that your Echo Dot does not always answer you. A few basic things to check. Make sure the microphone off button is not turned on. It light up red when activated. You can power cycle the device by unplugging the power cord for about 10 seconds and plug it back. Also verified that the wifi connection is stable, as this may prevent the device to respond. Hope these tips will help. Have a great day!

Q: can the echo dot find my phone if misplaced?

submitted by denimatt - 5 months ago
  • A: Hello! With Find My Phone, you can easily call your lost phone from Alexa, without syncing all of your contacts. HOW IT WORKS: Pro Tip: Link your phone before you lose it. 1. To set up your phone, say “Alexa, Find My Phone” and you’ll be asked for your cell number. 2. To confirm it’s really you, we’ll send a 4-digit code via text message to your cell phone. Provide that 4-digit code to Alexa by saying “Alexa” and then your code. 3. That’s it! You’re all set up. Now when you’ve lost your phone, simply say “Alexa, Find My Phone.” IMPORTANT INFORMATION: To add additional numbers, just say “Alexa, ask Find My Phone to add a contact.” Only US cell numbers will work in the US. We don’t support landlines or non-US numbers at this time. We use four US-based outbound phone numbers. To ensure your phone will accept calls from these numbers, be sure to add them to your contacts: - 1.866.217.2815- 1.866.217.8536- 1.866.217.8642 - 1.866.217.9170 Some cell providers will block the number we call you from. To prevent this, open your device's settings, select Phone, and select “Blocked Contacts.” Unblock the numbers listed above. If you are not receiving the code via text message, text "un-stop" to all four of the numbers listed above. Hope this helps! LIST OF COMMANDS - Alexa, Find My Phone. - Alexa, ask Find My Phone to add a contact. - Alexa, ask Find My Phone to call . - Alexa, ask Find My Phone to delete a contact. - Alexa, ask Find My Phone to list contacts.

Q: Hi. I think I read here someone asked if it has a plug? Not sure. The answer was, "No.", but then you didn't say if it ran off batteries or what? Thanks.

submitted by Laura - 6 months ago
  • A: Hi Laura! This Echo Dot 3rd Generation comes with a power cable located in the box. In order to use this Echo Dot, it needs to be plugged in with that cable as it does not run on batteries. Hope this helps and have a great day!

Basic Speaker but gets the job done

2 out of 5 stars
Conchita - 1 month ago, Verified purchaser
If you’re looking for a basic speaker this gets the job done. The only issue I’ve had is that it disconnects right after I initially connect the Bluetooth not sure why. So I have to manually re-connect it but it works fine from there.

It kept going off randomly, felt like it would not stop talking unless when you would try and ask it something it would failed to respond. Also just way to many in app purchases. Speaker quality could be better but at that point just buy an actual speaker.

Amazon Alexa - 3 months ago
I hate Alexa to the point where I’m gomninh get rid of it. I bought it for my whole family, four of them. I like it, but I am so sick of Alexa and her stupid suggestions that you cannot shut off. It’s intrusive and unnecessary and it makes me feel like I’m under a microscope in my own home. I don’t trust this device anymore and I’m gonna get rid of it. Amazon, give your customers the ability to shut off your stupid suggestions! If I want to play NPR news, and not get a suggestion from Alexa.
