Where is Alexa?

[tony.wheeler]

I'm in the UK and have had the U11 for a day now. It's great so far but how do you enable Alexa? I've got OK Google working but can find no way of enabling Alexa commands etc.

Is that a feature yet to be released? I called HTC support today and they could help (didn't know of the feature!), but they promised to get out their demo model and get back to me with an answer.

It's coming in an update supposedly this month.

According to the receipt I received:

Claiming your Amazon Echo Dots When you receive your HTC U11 on or after June 9, go to www.htc.com/sprint-u11-preorder-offer/. Follow the on-screen instructions to redeem your Dots.

Hopefully it goes live within the next week - I don't have a lot of confidence in HTC in keeping their word from their past actions.

OP is referring to Alexa as an ai assistant on the device, not a promotion for the Echo Dots

Any luck in claiming your echo dots? Looks like the link address is down....
