Hi Saw this video today as I bought it recently.. we have setup the device to my mom's phone.. but whenever her phone screen is off.. the alexa doesn't listen to any of us..? What maybe the issue? And how can we change it?
@@karlaf4799 You can connect it to a mobile hotspot, the same as connecting to any other wifi. You do it in the app, but you need a second mobile/tablet/pc first to connect to the hotspot for the setup - after that it works as usual
Is it me or does Alexa's voice sound muffled? I got one of these and I'm returning it. I can't understand what she says. It sounds muffled in this video too. Her voice on my generation 2 sounds crystal clear.
I just got my charcoal Echo dot 4th gen and I thought that the white power adapter was a mistake. I see that it was not. I hate that they are not the same color
if i live in an apartment I only need 1 right? Do i put it in the living room area or in my own room? In my room is where i have my nanolead panels and stuff like that? Thank You
Can you set up the Echo Dot without using a smart phone or a tablet but only using a laptop? My elderly next door neighbour has wi fi, a lap top but no smart phone or tablet. Thanks in advance for the answer.
@@IansTech Many thanks for your reply. I live next door, so if I use my phone to set their Echo Dot up, will it then "talk" to my phone using data data from it as it will be so near?
If it’s not available from your App Store I am not sure. You may be able to download the apk file if on android or possibly switch app stores to change region to download it
Hi, when you ask Alexa to play music, it’s mandatory to mention the source? Because in the app you link the music platform of your preference. So if I’m in the app I link my Alexa app with Apple Music, do I have to be more specific? Or it will play the music of Amazon music automatically by itself programming?
@@IansTech I ask my echo dot simple questions and it has no answer. Also it only list celebrities deaths as do common people's deaths don't matter as much.
Dudeeee the whole point of making a video is so people don't have to read a manual. Are you kidding ..we're going through the manual page by page? In a video!
This is one to skip. They just ruined a great design. In 2 years we will laugh at 2020 Echo’s. Will definitely buy more of the previews generation Echo’s now that they will go on sale.
like the features, setup was difficult for some of my devices (August Door lock, th-cam.com/users/postUgkxhB5YOMNj04GuoAosExygP4cH-dKeb4aB Bose speaker)... but all switches and outlets (5), thermostat, tankless water heater. Unfortunately all I can do is turn on/off Bose. It doesn't support volume or changing channels, but I believe that is due to the particular speaker I have.... Worth getting if you already have other devices to use it with... I don't sit around and ask Alexa questions much so that doesn't really matter to me....
i ordered my echo 3rd gen little did i know the very NEXT day this got announced
Return it
not only that, when I got my echo dot 2nd generatiom, the 3rd gen came out 2 weeks after.
Haha
3rd much better
@@seldom2bseen yupppp
The echo devices are so easy to use and very competent in performance with mediatek chipsets
6:29 the actual SetUp
Ordered my first alexa today I was about to buy 3rd gen then changed my mind last min
I feel that amazon and mediatek have created a really great set of devices because they're affordable and easy to use for all age groups.
My mom got me this one for like $20-$30 dollars on amazon
yeah i got mine for 30 bucks
I git it for 90 bucks
@@LenROBLOX dang

This is my first time buying one of this l live in trinidad but i can.t wait to get it after i watch your video thks alot
I got mine today, really excited to try it out.
So?
Good
You could've say Alexa since mine wasn't SHIPPED yet but the free lightbulb that comes with it arrived already
I received my Echo dot 4th gen today. My alexa app looks nothing like this and I can't find where to add the device or input wifi settings.
Lol, just picked it up from best buy for $28!
I just ordered mine and I'm getting the 3rd gen I am so exitedddd 😊
Dan you should get the fourth Jenna has much more crisp sound and Alexa is more clear and it doesn't get warm like third gen does
should’ve got the 4th but i hope your happy :)
I just bought one and got a really good deal. I got a echo dot 4 and a smart plug bundle for only 65 dollars
I just got the same one today at Best Buy and it was $100 and it was a bigger one

Hi
Saw this video today as I bought it recently.. we have setup the device to my mom's phone.. but whenever her phone screen is off.. the alexa doesn't listen to any of us..?
What maybe the issue?
And how can we change it?
Good design and a strong features including the mediatek processor.
I ordered the new Alexa gen 4 which arrives on Tuesday
Shut the hell up
Do you belive charge jbl link music to echo is upgrade or not?
That is hard to say as I’ve never used one. You could always try it out and see
How do i charge the alexa 4th generation with clock
How do get it to where you speak on the dot vs the phone? I'm having to use my phone the entire time.
I ordered mine today with a Philips hue lightbulb :)
I can’t use this without wifi. I thought i can use with mobile hotspot:(
Me too I’m so disappointed 🥲

Me too.. I wish it was the same color as the device
Man mine is arriving tomorrow
How can I use the dot without any wifi?
Do I have to use Alexa ? I kinda just wanted it as a Bluetooth speakers for work😅
Nope it requires WiFi :( I also heard it won’t work with a hotspot either
@@IansTech 🥲 how sad
I actually used it as a Bluetooth speaker but I can’t remember how I did it
Edit: I think you initially need WiFi to set it up with your phone
Im ordering mine rn
if i live in an apartment I only need 1 right? Do i put it in the living room area or in my own room? In my room is where i have my nanolead panels and stuff like that? Thank You
I just got by Echo Dot and echo 4th generation and July 22nd
FINALLY OTHER ALEXA VIDEOS UNBOXING WAS OTHER LANGUAGE
Just came to watch your video to see if my white power adapter was a mistake

I pluged it in and it wont work it aint lightin up!!! :(
Please help any body I ordered an alexa echo dot 4th gen but however seal of box was broken so should I send it back or continue using it

I don’t think you can. You may be able to set it up for them with your phone using her Amazon account. I think a 1 time setup is all that’s needed.
@@IansTech Many thanks for your reply. I live next door, so if I use my phone to set their Echo Dot up, will it then "talk" to my phone using data data from it as it will be so near?
How many watts is this to use? Also what other words can you use in the app?
My Alexa didn’t hear me I have the 4th generation And It went on mute It was in Set up mode at first Though what do I do to go back into set up mode ?
It was still in set up mode?
I ordered my alexa and the app refuses to download. What should I do?
Are you on iOS or android
@@IansTech Android.
Do I have to make a voice profile on phone. My mic is messed up
No you can make one on the echo itself
if we will enable skill, does have we pay money
Most of them do not cost money. Say it’s for a WiFi bulb - you need the skill for Alexa to be able to use it. It’s usually free.
where can I find the app?
Spherical
How much is it for Alexa to play music monthly
I’m getting mine for Christmas
i came here just to see the shape of the box cause i wanted it for christmas and this wrapped gift i got here look exactly like the alexa box😂
Same man!
Did you miss a step how did you get the app
Download from your App Store, Apple or google play
its now $29 if you order through your alexa
I won my alexa from a Sega keymaster machine. On the first try too.
Do you have to pay for Alexa to play music
How do you connect to your tv

What alexa Amazon app can I download to use the device from Nigeria.
If it’s not available from your App Store I am not sure. You may be able to download the apk file if on android or possibly switch app stores to change region to download it
I just brought one of these I have set it up but it heard me once now it not working. Please cna u help
You can reset it if it stops working. Just hold down the action button until it lights up orange and set it up again
Do we have to pay for Alexa to pay music monthly
Yes for Amazon music, but you can use other music services you already have
Hi, when you ask Alexa to play music, it’s mandatory to mention the source? Because in the app you link the music platform of your preference. So if I’m in the app I link my Alexa app with Apple Music, do I have to be more specific? Or it will play the music of Amazon music automatically by itself programming?
It looks like you can change the default music service used in the Alexa app so if you change it you don’t have to say the source like I did.
@@IansTech thanks for your answer pal. My girlfriend will love her gift.
So what's the purpose of even having an echo dot ?
It can do different tasks, timers, weather, play music. If you have smart home devices she can control those for you.
@@IansTech I ask my echo dot simple questions and it has no answer. Also it only list celebrities deaths as do common people's deaths don't matter as much.
@@IansTech Alexa couldn't even give me obituary information and it's on Google the world wide web.
I have the 4th
you skipped the main part.

We don't need you to read the book. We can do that. On with the review.
He says the A word so you Alexa won’t turn on he probably said this in the video but I missed it
I tried my best not to say it at all
He said it at 0:58
