I upgraded my FTV 1 - rooted to the latest firmware 5.2.6.0 and after the setup was complete. I remember seeing the alexa option under the settings.
The menus would all display, except for the apps tab was all black. The device as not registered, so I registered the device, apps tab still was black, i then deleted the cache and data for the ApStore app - then the apps tab populated with data. Problem is - somewhere along those lines of steps, the Alexa option disappeared from my list of settings and the voice remote is no longer accepting voice commands when I hit the mic button. I even tried more than 1 remote - it was working before the upgrade. Its like something disabled Alexa - im not sure what.

Hi guys,
These might be stupid questions but i cant figure out how to access the notes i have taken on the watch using the Take a note voice command. Is there any way to access the watch apps besides saying start as a voice command?
To access apps I go to the main menu (with all the commands and settings at the bottom) and the last entry is "Start..." and selecting that will give you the option to open installed wear apps.
Wear Mini Launcher is a great way to access apps on your watch.

The notes are in your gmail in text form and a voice recording. It was strange to find the first time.
Mine show in Keep: "OK Google, Start Keep" or selecting it from the menu.
Additionally mine show in Keep on my phone, not in Gmail.
Hi,
I'm having some difficulty suddently with my rooted FireTV. As some background, I live in Canada but have the FireTV using a USA IP via a VPN.
When I use the Amazon UI and go down to the "Featured Apps" section and choose Netflix, I get a login screen for the Amazon App Store, with my name, and a button saying "Continue". But the screen is frozen--I have no way of selecting anything or backing out of anything. After a few seconds, the screen disappears and I'm taken back to the Featured Apps list, with Netflix still highlighted.
However, if I go down to the "Apps" section and simply select Netflix from the list, it works flawlessly and without a problem.
It's almost like something's gotten corrupted somehow. Is there any way to get Netflix to work in the Featured Apps section?
I've tried following the guide I found below but still couldn't get it to show up. It comes up in the play store settings but not ADM. My location is turned on high accuracy and my gps functions completely fine. Next thing I'll try is a full factory wipe but I hope it doesn't come to that.
Anyone have an idea?
Code:
Clear data for the following apps:
Play Store
Download Manager
Google Services Framework
Restart your phone.
Fire up the Play Store app.
Wait for the device to show again on the web Play Store. It will appear under Settings > Devices. It may take a half-hour to several hours to appear.
When your phone has shown up in the Play Store with the date registered as today's date, proceed with the next steps, but not before.
Open Google Settings from your device's apps menu.
Touch Android Device Manage(security).
Uncheck Allow remote factory reset.
Go to your device's main Settings menu, then touch Apps > All > Google Play services.
Touch Clear Data. Note that this action doesn't remove personal data.
Go back to Google Settings and Security and select Allow remote factory reset.
Restart your device.
Just remember do this in order, also only do this on devices which are not showing in ADM app and wait till you see device on web at play store devices before completing stick to the order.
I have exactly the same problem, the only work around I could find was to set up a new Google account just for device manager; it's not ideal but it works. I am pretty sure I maxed out my main account with activations, annoying problem I wish I could find a proper solution.
I had Alexa as the default and she even answered when the lockscreeen was enabled. Just like Google. Once I flashed the Ari firmware for this phones I lost her. She will only respond properly when the Alexa app is open. Anyone else notice this?
Settings> Apps & Notifications> Default Apps>Assistant & Voice Input> Default Digital Assistant app. Select Amazon Alexa, see if that works.
So I got Alexa working on the watch.
Thanks to the great tool from this thread and a rather old link from reddit (alexa apk) it's on the watch now.
It is connecting to the phone (Pixel 7 Pro) and working.
There are some things not working properly however:
- Voice activation doesn't work (even when the app is opened)
- if you tap to ask something and abort that by closing alexa on the watch, alexa on the phone steps in to announce shes got connection problems.
- you can't set it to be the standard assistant app for the watch, google assistant remains the only option shown
Furthermore, as this is my first smartwatch I am still not too sure about the playstore for it and so on, thus I don't know if the alexa app will update allthough its sideloaded onto the device.
Maybe an update would even cure one or two of the problems?
Has anyone gotten any further than me?
Hi, you can install the Ultimate Alexa app on the Watch and link it to your Amazon account. Works pretty well for me.
