Can't set up Alexa on Versa 2

Replies are disabled for this topic. Start a new one or visit our Help Center.

Hi,

 

I have a new Versa 2 and can't seem to set up Alexa. The solutions in other threads weren't applicable to my case.

 

What happens:

- I tap on the Alexa tile in the Fitbit app.

- I tap on the big green button at the bottom labeled: SIGN IN WITH AMAZON

- A spinner appears in the middle of the screen and everything becomes disabled

 

That's about it. Nothing else happens after that. It just spins the spinner forever.

 

Things I've tried:

- Restart phone

- Restart watch

- Disable/Enable bluetooth

- Unpair then re-pair with watch

- Remove Wifi from watch and re-add

- Reinstall Fitbit app

- Reinstall Alexa app

- Give Alexa app all permissions

- Give Fitbit app all permissions

- Clear app data caches (both apps)

- Factory reset watch

- Update watch firmware

- Delete Versa 2 device then add and setup again

 

None of these change the behavior at all.

 

In the 3rd card in the Alex setup there's a link near the bottom.

Tapping on that link immediately opens the Alexa app successfully. I assume this means some things are working but the basic Amazon Authentication is really really stuck.

 

Spotify connects just fine and ironically shows all my Alexa devices around the house to play music to.

It's been a few days, no one has contacted me. I thought I would try here. Does it say in my file how long I might have to wait for some help?

@isaiah.carew Note that due to recent events affecting our operations, support options are limited and wait times are longer than usual. Keep in mind that your support case was created yesterday.

My first request for help with this issue was on the 16th of January. And one week since I was told the support team would be getting back to me soon. I have not received even a confirmation email. With all due, respect, may I please have some support today?
