Review Amazon echo show 11 review

1 Upvotes

I ended up getting the Amazon Echo Show 11 as well, even though most people were telling me not to, and I have to say that I’m very happy with it. I’ve had it for a little over a week now, and I find it very useful.
The sound quality is very good, and the screen is also really convenient. The only downside, in my opinion, is the temperature, because it does get quite warm in general.
I definitely don’t regret buying it, at least so far.
Also, it’s not like it constantly shows ads. At least on mine, it may show advertisements and similar content, but when it detects a person in front of it, it switches away from the ads. Depending on how the user has configured it, it either goes to the widgets, shows ads on one half of the screen and widgets on the other half, or shows only the widgets.
Also, when you’re listening to music, it doesn’t show ads like many users claim. Instead, it stays on the screen and displays the song that’s playing for as long as the music is playing.
Overall, I think it’s a really good smart speaker.

Have an original echo Dot, used to be able to get Game notifications 15 minutes before game time, asked to

Include the Indiana fever games and somehow it switched to a third-party application instead of just Amazon giving me the AI, he used to always notify me 15 minutes before game times and it does not do that anymore. I have no idea what the hell happened and if that was the catalyst. It is far beyond the worst AI service that I use. I do have prime so I do have the upgraded version of Alexa and it is just called awful now.

Question Echo show 8 ads.

0 Upvotes

Is there a reliable way to stop ads? Previously I was able to do that by switching to the Canada region, but that doesn't help anymore. All I need to see is weather, time, and the Ring camera widget. I'm close to throwing this thing away.

Echo show 8

0 Upvotes

Hi all, hope this is ok to post.

Recently bought an echo show 8.

After some time or swapping over from music to videos the sound goes really low on new videos played or indeed any sound outside of voice responses.

Setting a timer or alarm will also play with a really low sound. Barely audible like a 1 of 100 , i wouldnt ven say its a 1 of 10!

Alexa volume is max and responds loudly.

Volume set to max

Alarms and timers are set to max

No routines etc as its a new device and like this from the start

No adaptive voice on this

Amazon told me to disable alexa plus but issue still happens

I can fix it with a reboot but theres only so much rebooting u can do in a day

Anyone know of a fix or same issue

Thanks
