Streaming Spotify Free to Echo over bluetooth - Stops and starts
« on: November 10, 2016, 08:06:50 am »
Noticed this in the last 3 days, when playing spotify free to Alexa, bluetooth seems to keep dropping connection. If I just play mp3's on the phone via bluetooth to Alexa, all works fine with no dropouts for hours.
Any ideas guys?

Likely caused by signal strength issues related to either your Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth signals -- maybe even both.

How close or how far your phone is from the Echo affects the bluetooth signal within the 30 feet of BT range.  How far your phone and Echo are from the ROUTER is also a major factor -- both need a good strong wi-fi connection to the home network/internet signal.
