We have a Fire tablet paired to a Dot in the kitchen. As long as we've had them, when the tablet wakes up, the Dot would announce it's connected to the tablet, and tablet audio would play through the Dot. Recently, that just stopped. Now each time I want the tablet audio to play through the Dot, I have to go to the Bluetooth settings on the tablet and toggle the media connection off then on again. No idea why it would have changed other than maybe a breaking upgrade from Amazon.
I wonder if our issues are related.

I think my issue might be related to Alexa telling me every few weeks that it's not connected to wifi. When I started setting up Bluetooth today, first I had to reconnect to wifi. I'm not sure why the Dot should be having any problem though, as no other device has wifi issues--including the Dot in the next room.
I'm curious about something I noticed when playing Amazon Music with Bluetooth. When I initially connected the music app to the stereo via Bluetooth, the stereo displayed the song info. However, when I connected the Dot to the stereo using the Alexa app and used a voice command, no song info was displayed. Is that normal? I know I can ask Alexa what's playing, but it sure would have been nice to have it displayed.
