Bluetooth is an integral ‘tool’ when it comes to using your echo buds. It is Bluetooth which plays an integral role in connecting the echo buds to the device (Alexa App). If the Bluetooth connection fails, then the echo buds are rendered useless as you won’t hear any sound nor can you command Alexa to perform specific tasks on your behalf. 

If you are having Bluetooth challenges in connecting the echo buds to Alexa App, you can troubleshoot the problem and fix it by following the tips outlined below. Note that though several tips are outlined, once you troubleshoot the problem, check to see if it’s solved before proceeding to the next tip.

• Echo Buds not Fully Charged: You can only connect the echo buds to your device if the echo buds are charged. If they aren’t charged, you should put them in their charging case first and charge them before you attempt to connect to Bluetooth. If you try to connect the echo buds while they are low on charge, they may just connect for a few minutes and automatically disconnect the Bluetooth to preserve the little power remaining. 

• Alexa App not Properly Running: Like any other mobile app which you may have on your device, the Alexa App may encounter some problems in the background. When this happens, it affects how it functions as well as how it connects with other tools and connected devices. To correct this problem, you will need to force close the Alexa App. Once you close it, wait for a few seconds and then launch it again. Try to establish a connection and see if the problem is rectified. 

• Too Many Connections Inhibiting the Optimum Performance of your Device: Sometimes, your device may go for several days while running. In that time, you may attempt many tasks and possibly establish a whole lot of connections. Unfortunately, when you do this, the ability of the device to perform efficiently will become difficult.

Alternatively, you may just put your device on airplane mode and wait for 45 seconds and then turn it off.

Once this happens, you can proceed to establish a Bluetooth connection with the echo buds. 

• Bluetooth Not Properly Responding: At times, Bluetooth may just fail to respond in the normal way it always does. This may be caused by a whole lot of different reasons. If you suspect that this is the case, all you need to do is to turn off Bluetooth for some seconds after which you turn it on once again. When you do this, try to establish a connection. 

• Latest Firmware Updates Not Installed: To ensure that the echo buds are always working efficiently, Amazon does frequently release new firmware updates. If new updates are released but you fail to install them, you may encounter some problems as your echo buds won’t be compatible with some elements of the Alexa App. As such, always ensure that you frequently put your echo buds in their charging case. Once in their charging case, any new updates that are released will be automatically installed. 

• Establish a New Bluetooth Connection: Sometimes, all you need is to just establish a new Bluetooth connection between your device and the echo buds. To do this, you first need to unpair the device and the echo buds. You do this once you launch the Alexa App. After you unpair, wait for a few minutes and then try to pair the devices once more. 

• Need for a Soft Reset: At times, all that you need to establish a strong Bluetooth connection between your device and echo buds once more is to do a soft reset for the echo buds. To do this, you need to take out your ear buds and properly place them in the charging case and close it. Once you place them in the charging case, wait for a few seconds at least 15 seconds before you open the case to take them out. Afterwards, try to establish a connection once more.
