New thing going on with my Show 5. The daytime clock on my chosen photo just gave me a white clock over a black background. Eventually my photo came back after I said "Echo go to the home page" three times. Same thing when I checked later on. I don't look at it much, but when I do, I want to see the clock and outdoor temperature over my ocean photo.
Mine does the same thing when I use one of my photos for the background. Every few minutes the screen dims all the way to total black for a second or so then goes back to showing the clock transposed over the photo. Occasionally though it stops using the photo completely for a while using one of its included background designs instead, but after a few minutes it usually returns to using my photo for the background. Since the Show 5 sits right beside my recliner, I see what it is doing out of my peripheral vision, and it is constantly trying to change the screen. All Tips and notifications are turned off. It just has screwed up firmware I guess. Now that the 2nd gen has been released, I guess there is no way Amazon will ever try to fix the 1st gen.
