Very good tablet but Alexa dock not working

Very good tablet. which you can buy without a dock/speaker. But for the extra $20 I opted for a dock/speaker/charger. PROBLEM: Software that should detect when the tablet is docked and provide Bluetooth speaker/mic functionality. Since Alexa works through a docking station, it's a total mess. It also does not connect to Bluetooth. or, if it does, terminates the connection. and/or displays annoying error messages. WORKAROUND: Go to your Android app settings and STOP, REMOVE and/or DISABLE Alexa and other annoying, suspicious or unwanted software. DOCK WILL: Charge your tablet while docked. And you can still use a regular android bluetooth drill to connect bluetooth audio like any other bluetooth audio device. A PITY. They screwed up the Alexa software and bundled the Alexa assistant and Bluetooth docking initiator together. Well, we don't really like Alexa anyway. BUT it would be nice to automatically connect via Bluetooth when physically docked - should be a separate little app. What I don't see The beauty of a docking station is that it's only two metal pins touching - no fiddling with cables or connectors - GOOD! The speaker in the docking station is quite good for its size and price.

Pros
  • Best in niche
