• Q: Why has my echo dot been updating for two weeks . Every time we go to check on it it say it is updating . Makes no sense (3 answers)

  A: Alexa sends bad update to older devices to force you to buy more. I have had several after two years go into update mode and nothing fixes it. I called Amazon multiple times and everything they tell me to do I do and it never stopped. I left it plugged in and two months later still updating. Removed app and re added. Removed device and re added. Hard reset. Literally nothing will fix it.
