Echo Show - Blank screen during playback

wfc

About a month ago my Pandora on my Amazon Echo Show started to give a blank screen every other song or so. It will display as normal and then the screen drops out. The arrow at the top of the screen is still there so if I swipe down it shows the options screen. So the screen is functioning. It’s at current firmware. If music is not playing it displays the normal idle screens. 
has anyone else seen this?  Amazon just says purchase another device. 
thanks

Hi @wfc! Welcome to community. 👋

While I haven't heard about this from other users, I'm happy to take a look. I've gone ahead and enabled a trace on your account. I'll need you to use Pandora as you normal would on your Echo Show and I'll check to see if there is anything unusual in the logs.

In the meantime, have you tried any troubleshooting prior to reaching out? Thanks!

Reset echo to factory, updated firmware.

No joy

Thanks for the help

Thanks for letting me know, @wfc. Since you've already done some troubleshooting, I don't have anything more to recommend. I'll check the logs and see if anything stands out. Thanks!

Screen still goes blank periodically. Additionally the pandora feed dies constantly. It may run anywhere from 2 Minutes  to 2 hours but it will just drop with no warning. Just quits playing. I don’t seem to have that problem with Amazon music.

Hi @wfc - Sorry to hear this is still happening.

I searched through the trace log but unfortunately I didn't see anything of note. I've gone ahead and created a ticket with our engineering team and passed it along to them for further investigation.

Out of curiosity, do you use a VPN or possibly a network level VPN?

I don’t use any VPNs. If I listen through my Alexa app on my phone it doesn’t drop there either. If that’s any help

Additionally,Per the instructions from Amazon support I purchased another echo show. Same issue.

Thanks for the follow up, @wfc. Good info to know, at least we know it's not device specific. Such odd behavior from the Show.
