I don''t quite understand how, or why, this did not work, however the very last time I tried, and went step by step following your directions it worked, and all I see is the clock, which is all I wanted. Many thanks.
Thank you so much! It was so helpful to finally get rid of all that crap. Now I finally don’t need to squint my eyes to see the time across my bedroom! Lol
This video was perfect! Thank you! That stupid content would be running and I couldn't even see the time without my glasses. I looked up how to do this before but everyone made it so complicated and I didn't have time for that.
Latest echo show 5 3rd gen does not work like this. They've buried the menu system in such a way that every time you try to make a change it pops back to the settings screen and you have to start all over with the clock and home screen settings. It's also now very slow to bring up the display you selected if it ever does. It keeps on going back to "Try this next..." then if I touch the screen it shows a blank background forever. no clock is showing either. But if I touch it, it goes right back to "try this next, with a sall clock in the upper left. I've truned off all content, set the clock to classic, set night mode to always on (so no more notifications) and still tit takes 5 minutes to go to a full screen clock but not the one that I chose. Aaargh - very frustrating!
Thanks for video. I did this, but now the home screen blinks about every 30 seconds.. like it's trying to find the next screen, and then realizing that there isn't one because I turned them all off. Is there a way to fix that?
I tried that, but the clock keeps on pulsing / fading in and out, like it's trying to transition from clock back to clock instead of just keeping it on
It actually makes me want to send it back. Not only am I giving consent for them to practically have microphones and in this case even a camera if you forget to close the shutter in my room I should be able to make that thing do exactly what I want I had no idea that it was going to display all this other crap instead of just messages specifically to me from other Amazon devices or deliveries instead I get all this added shit I like the functionality of being able to see my cameras and things from my bedside however I am not a fan at all of all the extra crap that it always flips through where I turn around to look at the clock and it's some add instead of the freaking clock I'm sure that like their tablets they're putting these out add supported but that's crap they should make it available to pay $10 more or something to not have to have that because I have shut every one of those off and I still get freaking Pages popping up some that are blank they don't even have any information it just says click here to add this
@ If you can still return it, I definitely would. I ended up throwing mine in the garbage. I’m much happier with my Google displays that don’t display ads. I used to be a big fan of Amazon, but I would no longer consider any of their devices other than maybe a Kindle.
How do you make the time LARGE & centered?? I have a bunch of artwork dominating the screen. They time - temp & day/date is flushed to the left for corners. Thanks. And thanks for speaking slowly. It's so helpful & makes it easy.
Mine still flicks round, mainly from the clock, to a black screen and back to the clock or to 'suggested quotes'. All toggles are turned off, I turned them off as soon as I got the device but 3 weeks on it still does this. Why is this happening? Do you know? Thanks
Same for me. I have literally everything disabled on it but it flips from the clock to suggestions or whatever and it's super annoying, so I now just have it set to Do Not Disturb.
Same here. How are they on the 5th generation and still haven't gotten this fixed?!?!? I want to chuck this stupid thing at Jeff Bezo's shiny bald head. Grrrrr!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I did end up sending mine back, it was a shame but being in the living room it was extremely distracting.. More so because I had tried everything to sort it and couldn't! I spent my time watching it, daring it to do it it again 😂😂
Exactly what I needed! My 93 year old mother in law kept telling me her "clock was broken" because the screen kept changing... :)
I wish more videos were like this. Short and sweet, but you also showed us exactly what to do and what it looks like. Perfect! Thank you!
Yes a rarity, straight to the point love it !
omg. This old lady didnt realize there were settings on this device. Thank you so much for the No More Crap!
VERY helpful. Clear and simple without a lot of extra chat thrown in. Thank you for this!

Thanks, mate. Clear, concise, and exactly what I needed!
This was so helpful. It was driving me crazy on how to fix it until I saw your video. Thanks !
thanks buddy. It's so annoying how companies push all this pointless advertising on us every time we turn around
I don''t quite understand how, or why, this did not work, however the very last time I tried, and went step by step following your directions it worked, and all I see is the clock, which is all I wanted. Many thanks.

Very helpful thank you
I tried that, but the clock keeps on pulsing / fading in and out, like it's trying to transition from clock back to clock instead of just keeping it on
Yes, I’d like to know too.
@@gilbrook the best solution I found is putting it into do not disturb mode. Still not perfect but less annoying
Very helpful. Also thanks for saying 'very annoying', and 'all the crap'.
Good job- quite helpful
Omg, thx so much 4 putting this vdo on Utube. Only wanted the time on Echo show. All the other stuff was so annoying. Thx 4 sharing on Utube.
clear and concise, thank you
Thank you. That was driving me crazy
So appreciated thank you !
Thank you so much. So happy to no longer see all that crap.
Excellent.. Just what I needed.
Thank you!
It no longer works they now display ads even with everything off.
It actually makes me want to send it back. Not only am I giving consent for them to practically have microphones and in this case even a camera if you forget to close the shutter in my room I should be able to make that thing do exactly what I want I had no idea that it was going to display all this other crap instead of just messages specifically to me from other Amazon devices or deliveries instead I get all this added shit I like the functionality of being able to see my cameras and things from my bedside however I am not a fan at all of all the extra crap that it always flips through where I turn around to look at the clock and it's some add instead of the freaking clock I'm sure that like their tablets they're putting these out add supported but that's crap they should make it available to pay $10 more or something to not have to have that because I have shut every one of those off and I still get freaking Pages popping up some that are blank they don't even have any information it just says click here to add this

Very helpful - thanks.
WOW. Thanks for the help
Perfect - just what I wanted
Seems to work thank you
Wow this really helps!
Thank you.
How do you make the time LARGE & centered?? I have a bunch of artwork dominating the screen. They time - temp & day/date is flushed to the left for corners. Thanks. And thanks for speaking slowly. It's so helpful & makes it easy.
go back into the settings, home and clock, the clock and photo display.and then you can select the background for what you want your clock to be
Perfect. 1 1/2 minutes to show me what I'd been doing wrong for about 15 😀
Finally. I've been turning them all On when I was trying to turn them Off.
*Thanks. we mainly use ours as a clock for the kitchen and it's annoying when you have to walk up to it sometimes to see the time*
Mine still flicks round, mainly from the clock, to a black screen and back to the clock or to 'suggested quotes'. All toggles are turned off, I turned them off as soon as I got the device but 3 weeks on it still does this. Why is this happening? Do you know? Thanks
Happening to me as well, replying in case this gets solved :)
Same for me. I have literally everything disabled on it but it flips from the clock to suggestions or whatever and it's super annoying, so I now just have it set to Do Not Disturb.
Nvm, even Do Not Disturb has it swap to other stuff like "Popular questions to ask" or whatever. Ugh.
Same here. How are they on the 5th generation and still haven't gotten this fixed?!?!? I want to chuck this stupid thing at Jeff Bezo's shiny bald head. Grrrrr!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I did end up sending mine back, it was a shame but being in the living room it was extremely distracting.. More so because I had tried everything to sort it and couldn't! I spent my time watching it, daring it to do it it again 😂😂
thank you so much
Thank you very, very much.
How do you get the time so big in the middle of the screen? I only see a random wallpaper with the time in the corner
