Driver display screen will not switch back after phone call


Recommended Posts

Posted

I was wondering if there is a way to fix this or is everyone experiencing this. When I make a call the touch screen goes from radio to phone screen and after the call it will not go back to the radio screen unless I push the radio button. The thing that bothers me the most is the driver info screen. When I receive a call the driver info screen shows who is calling which is normal but after the call it will not go back to the screen it was in before the call. Example if I have the screen set to the digital speed read out and someone calls it goes to the incoming call screen but when I end the call it stays in the incoming call screen then I have to back and select the digital speed screen again. Is this normal or is there a setting I don't know about. My wife's Buick has the same drivers screen and it does not do this when she ends the call it goes back to the previous screen.

Yep mine does this too. Very annoying. I agree I don't know how they missed this problem during testing but then again, its a software/computer problem and GM builds cars and trucks. This is why Apple and Samsung need to enter the automobile technology market and start selling products to manufacturers to use in their vehicles and let the vehicle manufacturers stick to engineering vehicles.

I asked my dealer about this...this is what I was told. The screen stays on that because it was the last function you have used. The only way I have worked around it is access your phone though the drivers screen on the dash, this way the 8" screen goes back to the radio once you have completed the phone call, but your smaller screed will stay on the phone setting, at least I can just change it with the steering wheel controls compared to the 8" screen. I agree that I wish you could somehow have a default screen that is your home screen and when you are done doing whatever you want it would go back to your home/default screen.

I'd prefer it just go back to whatever screen was up before I received or dialed any calls.

I too think this is annoying and that GM should fix it.

 

I'm sure they will at some point with a software update. GM is a little backed up with recalls at the moment.................

That's the least of your worries. The infotainment is fuggy as buck.

 

I had the VOLUME knob advancing songs on my iphone the other day. No joke. No, I wasn't mistaken, had witnesses. Steering wheel volume didn't do anyhing.

    • I am not techy at all but wondered if you have the truck running but sitting still in park as some functions gray out as soon as the truck is moving. I believe in the settings for updates you can choose for it NOT to update and I wonder by chance if maybe that was chosen before and now it won't allow you to chose to press update, I think that is back in the settings menu where it has all the items one wants on or off etc. Also I assume you have a wifi connection and checked that it has some signal strength, not that it would have anything to do with the grayed out updates choice in that case. What I am thinking out loud of here may be be of no value but thought I would suggest it, sometimes it can be the simplest thing that resolves an issue.  
    • The so called rare failure that some certainly liked to tout ( die hard Ford fan boys ) as per the lifter failing and wiping out the cam. Back when it started happening the blame was being pointed to the lifters and honestly I never did hear anything myself conclusively one way or the other on that. Ford themselves in I believe 2024 had a technical bulletin I will call it that came out and for some engine platforms they were reprograming the engines idle speed but also they had a software update for the oil pump which then some time later was said what that software update did as to be increasing the oil pressure at idle. It is a good question if that issue was completely solved as one Ford specialist mechanic youtuber said he saw failures after that time period. Like anything there would be the variables, what oil is being used and the OCI and how much idle time gets put on an engine. I've seen some comments to claim that the L8T isn't so happy with high idle time either but I also know that companies that require their vehicle to idle a lot on the job don't tend to get the oil changed often enough for all those hours of idle time and go off of the odometer. 
    • My 2026 Silv. 1500 WT (reg cab/short bed/4wd) has the 40/20/40 with storage in lower middle seat as well as the fold-down center bolster/armrest.   With the dual glove boxes this is about as much storage as possible in a std cab IMHO. Bill
    • I have a 2026 base 1500 "WT" regular cab with basic Chevy "Infotainment 3" 7-inch screen/radio. How many speakers do I have If I want to upgrade? Is the audio amp separate from the radio/display unit]? [I listen to classical and it gets a bit raspy at slightly higher volumes. Don't need a sub etc.] Do I have two or 1 speakers in the doors? etc. Thanks Bill  San Jose
    • probably won't get a response from that user, as they haven't returned to the site since making that one post.  users don't (at least I don't, and I haven't seen any setting which would notify me via say, email) get any notification other than going to this site, and checking if they got a response on their thread...
