If left unaddressed, overheating batteries can pose a serious fire risk — regardless of what kind of device is having the problem. Tap or click here to see how to prevent your work-from-home setup from becoming a fire hazard. As it stands, listening to the Echo Buds or putting them in your ears won’t put you in harm’s way. The issue lies in how the earbuds charge in their included case, which is plugged into a power source for energy.
How can I get the update installed on my Echo Buds?
If anyone has ever owned an Apple Watch before, you know how annoying it can be to sync data between your smartphone and Bluetooth device. Tap or click here to see how to make your Apple Watch and iPhone play nice with each other. Once you connect your Echo Buds to your device, open the Alexa app on your phone to check if the update was successful. Open the Devices menu and click Echo & Alexa > Echo Buds > About. Keep an eye out for software version 318119151 or higher. This will indicate the update was successful. If the update hasn’t come through yet, try powering your device off and on again. As long as it’s connected and your earbuds are charged, it should automatically install itself. We’d recommend waiting approximately 30 minutes after connecting your earbuds to make sure the update installs successfully. Once it’s on your device, however, you’re good to go. For such a “hot” issue, the solution turned out pretty cool, huh?
