My link voice commands not work for phone

Sometimes my truck says it will call, but then just turns the music back on. Deleting the phone and resyncing it usually does the trick. I don't use the voice command prompts though, I activate Google assistant through the truck instead by holding down the voice prompt button. I have a Samsung Note 5. I think the issue is with the phone

I have not, but I have narrowed it down. I went to the Samsung booth at Best Buy and they updated my phone, still didn't work. Dealer is useless. I think it has to do with the number of contacts I

ok all. I figured out the problem after getting the Truck software updates, replacing two batteries and getting my phone updated as well. The dealer told me that it was my phone, but in fact there i

I thought I had it figured out. What kind of phone are you using? I am using an Samsung 7. As a last resort, you should back up all your contacts and add one at a time. to see if it is a special character you put in on accident. That is the only think I can think of.

Samsung Note 4.

Just wondering if anyone found a resolution to this issue?

I am also experiencing the same issue with my personal phone (S6) and my work phone (iPhone 5).  It was not always like this and I have lest than 100 contacts on each phone.

I have also noticed that my USB stick which is loaded with music files can no longer be accessed by voice.  Something has changed and I can't figure it out.

 

Since I posted this I found a fix from another web site ... I tried it and it worked.

What needs to be done to fix the issue it to go into settings, change the language to Spanish (not sure if other languages will work) then shut down the car for 5 minutes. Go back into the system and change the language back to English and the voice commands will work fine.

Is your Onstar light green?  I had a similar problem, and after banging my head against the interwebs for awhile, I realized that my Onstar was dark.  I unplugged the fuse corresponding to Onstar and plugged it back in, and now everything works!

I will have to try this. My truck started doing this too! I have a Note 9 and it wasn't always like this.

THIS IS THE SOLUTION I FOUND TO FIX MY ISSUE

 

I tried deleting the contacts from my phone and reimporting them: DID NOT WORK

I tried unpairing and repairing my BT: DID NOT WORK

 

Went into settings (in the truck radio) and drilled down until I could reset favorites.  This involved me selecting the reset button, power the truck off, open and keep the door closed for a minute (THE TRUCK TELLS YOU TO DO THIS ON THE SCREEN), power back on, then repaired my BT connection and SUCCESS!  It works again.

I can verify this is a solution that worked for me today. Thanks for the advice.

This works!!!  2016 Sierra and it worked fine until 60 days ago.  Spent 3 days at the dealer,  hundreds on  dealer GMC software upgrades, left phone for a day and ultimately they told me it works fine I just don't know how to use it.  Infuriating.  20 minutes on an internet search and a

five minute fix. The language change probably resets something else to correct whatever the problem is, but this is a fast easy fix and it works.  Thank you Thank you Thank you BigDigger

Had the same problem!! Worked for years, then it stopped, just like others posted. Ughhh.,  Tried every suggestion on here...nothing worked. I then went to SETTINGS on my CELL. Clicked on "download my contacts" TO my cell FROM the SIM card. After that I HAD TO DISCONNECT my BT on my cell, and then reconnected it..hit SCAN. IT WORKED!!  It was my CELL, not the vehicle!!

Sometimes powering down and restarting the phone will cure Bt or AA or Carplay issues....

This thread is a bit old but I thought I'd add a solution that worked for me to maybe help others experiencing this frustrating issue.  I have a 2017 Chevy Cruze with MyLink. Like others in this post, my voice recognition just stopped working one day. I wanted to reaffirm that ScottC's reply was the solution that worked for me. I changed the MyLink language from English to Spanish and then back. And that was it, solved immediately.  Thank you.

      Gas fill door

      By newdude · Posted

      Common failure.  You need to replace the fuel door housing.   The painted cover transfers over to the new housing.  To remove the old one there is 4 spots where you poke the plastic to release it.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By newdude · Posted

      No such thing as regenerative braking on a pure ICE vehicle.     Regenerative braking is the re-capture of energy from electric motors and stores it in the battery pack.  So hybrids, PHEV and EVs have regenerative braking.     What you are seeing is the charging system changing modes is all.  Its likely entering charge mode for some sort of reason is all.  All of the charging modes will be listed below.   As for L10 vs D.  L10 turns off automatic grade braking.  L10 puts you in control of grade downshifts where in D it will automatically do it based on brake pedal position and other factors.  Otherwise L10 and D drive exactly the same aside from that one aspect.    Battery Sulfation Mode The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted Generator output voltage is less than 13.2 V for 45 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Charge Mode for 2–3 minutes. The BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.   Charge Mode The BCM will enter Charge Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met:   Windshield wipers are ON for more than 3 s. Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control module via serial data. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger, and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode. The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). Battery State of Charge is less than 80%. Vehicle speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph) A current sensor malfunction exists. System voltage is determined to be below 12.56 V When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9–15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.   Fuel Economy Mode The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the estimated battery temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is less than 15 A and greater than −8 A, and the battery state-of-charge is greater than or equal to 80%. Its targeted generator output voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.5–13.1 V. When fuel economy mode is active, the generator is not charging, only maintaining open circuit battery voltage. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Charge Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.   Headlamp Mode The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the head lamps are ON (high or low beams). Voltage will be regulated between 13.9–14.5 V.   Start Up Mode When the engine is started the BCM sets a targeted generator output voltage of 14.5 V for 30 s.   Tow/Haul Mode (if applicable) Pressing the Tow/Haul Mode button located on the center stack, the vehicle system voltage is raised and the remote (non-vehicle) battery will be charged. Having the headlamps on will raise the system voltage and if the Tow/Haul button is applied it will not serve any purpose. The voltage is regulated between 13.9-14.5 V.

      Hello from Australia Just sharing that there is now a way to delete the active shutters entirely with just a plug in module. Opens up tons of room to light bars etc.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By jake111 · Posted

      I have an observation and a question... 1) I watch the voltage closely because I have had to dial in the cut-in/cut-out voltages of the battery separator to my camper.  The "smart" charging drives me nuts.  Anyway, I noticed that when coasting for a while, and especially if lightly using the brakes (though not necessary), the voltage goes up from mid/high-13 volts to mid/high-14 volts.  Then it drops back down after stopping or going again.  Consistently!   The only explanation I can come up with is REGENERATIVE BRAKING!  Well, maybe that's a little bit of an exaggeration, but it's certainly free extra battery charging.   2) Driving on mountain roads I will use L and vary the max gear.  Things straighten out and I end up in L10.  Sometimes I leave it there for a while.  Is there any difference between L10 and D?
