When you disconnect your iPhone from the echo, be prepared for voiceover fun. It goes to zero on the phone. Mary Sent from my iPhone On Jul 1, 2015, at 10:17 AM, Brian Fischler brianfisch...@me.com wrote: Hey May, What is it that Homer Simpson says, doh because that fixed it. Can’t

Hello all, I just got my echo and have very little time to get set up. Did you just go to the Amazon website to get started? Is that how you got instructions on how to use and configure the echo? Thanks very much. Sent from my iPhone On Jul 1, 2015, at 1:41 PM, Brian Fischler

Hi Mary, Disconnecting the iPhone by telling Siri to turn bluetooth off did not affect the volume of VO on the iPhone as I just quickly turned bluetooth off and then back on on the iPhone and the VO volume did not change On Jul 1, 2015, at 2:48 PM, Amy Ruell aru...@comcast.net wrote: Call

Now I am curious. When you disconnected the iPhone from Echo by turning Bluetooth off, did your volume go crazy again? I did it by telling Alexa to disconnect, and my volume went down, both the regular volume and voiceover volume. Maybe disconnecting Bluetooth or turning it off, on the iPhone,

The echo is now generally available for sale, as I understand it. No invitation necessary. So, I would think that there would not be any more special okay issued for purchase, since you can just go and order it. I don't know what it costs. I certainly hope it isn't $200, as they had suggested

Yes! There are fairly good instructions on their web site, and, you’ll need to install the Amazon Echo app on your mobile device. And, I must say, the echo app is a big pain to configure. On Jul 1, 2015, at 1:53 PM, Amy Ruell aru...@comcast.net wrote: Hello all, I just got my echo and have

The echo at this time definitely does not work with airplay. I would not hold my breath waiting for it to do so, as that is probably not what Amazon has in mind. Mary Sent from my iPhone On Jul 1, 2015, at 10:06 AM, Larry McCreary lrmccre...@earthlink.net wrote: Hello, I would like to
