I searched but couldn't find an answer anywhere. Galaxy s10 when hooked up to android auto will not get any text notifications. It worked fine months ago, I have tried re-installing android auto and a bunch of other things.

My phone, no matter the volume level will also not give any indication of a text message recieved when plugged in. A notice does come up on the phone screen though, so I have to check every time after a drive. Spotify seems to be working o.k.

I'm sure I went through all the settings and permissions. Anyone else have this problem? Anyone try a cardongle yet or other device to give the infotainment screen full android powers and wireless control? Other than that $700 mod i've seen

If you open up Android Auto on your phone, without it being hooked up to your truck, you can check/change the settings in the app for notifications.

In Android Auto settings, make sure bluetooth is enabled when android auto is running.

 

I had a problem where, when connected via cord to Android Auto, I would only get text notifications on the Android Auto display but not the gauge cluster since that is linked with bluetooth.  After changing this setting, I get notifications in BOTH areas if plugged in.

Last year a guy with a 2019 Ford F150 said that he never used Android Auto because then it disabled his bluetooth calling.  I told him to modify the settings just the same, and he said it worked for him as well!

I have a base, so no notifications in the gauge cluster anyway. I get zero notifications on the android auto display and my phone is also muted when plugged in. The truck goes in for recalls next Tuesday and i will have them take a look. I am almost certain it is my phone though and not the truck.

PS, is your android auto updated to the latest version?  Apparently an update from September seems to have created the problem you are experiencing.  Unless it's another issue!

Hmm interesting, my phone does auto-update. I am also on android 11 now, which i think may have been in and around the time i started having troubles. With android 11 android auto is now "built in"

I am not sure how I can install an older version to try. Any ideas?

I think the issue was fixed.  If you are on the latest version you should be OK.  I would go into "my apps" in google play store just to confirm that everything is updated.

If everything is updated then issue must lie somewhere else.

So i didn't get to trying a second phone as i made a recall appointment and the dealer said they would have a look at that time. Anyway after the dealership visit (they said they updated the infotainment system) get in my truck and the system wont connect to my phone at all. I go back in and they say its my cord. Anyway instead of listening to more BS and arguing. I leave and try 3 different cables and 2 phones and absolutely nothing. Truck goes back next week.

      Brand new to this forum. Questions about re-gearing my 26’ HD

      By BDS my HD · Posted

      Hello hello looking forward to expanding my knowledge of the 2026 2500 HD that I just bought.   Truck has 3500 miles on it four-wheel-drive crew cab and I’m about to put a 6 1/2 inch BDS lift on it 18 x 10 -25 offset with 37’s   Already have the wheels and tires just waiting on the lift install in about three weeks   Question what surprises am I not gonna be happy with?  I’m not new to lifted trucks so I know that acceleration towing gas mileage all that is affected..   Question is those of you that have this truck this powertrain with a 10 speed Allison and have done the mods that I’m doing,,, how bad is it? Is that Allison constantly gonna be hunting for the right gear to go into? And what about towing, acceleration, fuel consumption as mentioned?    Lastly how come I can’t find any ring pinion gear set up for these axles and when could I expect to see them?   I apologize if there’s any typos I’m doing speech to text on my iPhone.

      2013 2500HD 6.0L intermittent no crank no start

      By linc45bn · Posted

      I've got a 2013 2500 6.0L Flexfuel. Drove the truck earlier today with no issues. Went to run an errand tonight and noticed key fob wouldn't work. Figured battery was dead, so replaced fob batter. Still wasn't working. Grabbed my other set of keys with the other fob and that one wasn't working either. So I manually unlock truck and insert key. Interior lights come on, dashboard lights up, turn key and truck starts. Turn truck off, like a moron, and try starting again. This time no crank, no click, no nothing. Lights still come on and dash lights up, but now I'm getting a service 4wheel drive, service tire monitor, etc. Check voltage on battery and Im showing 12.2v. Throw my battery charger on it and give it 15 mins and try starting again. But still no crank no start. Decide maybe its a bad battery, run to autozone grab a new one and put it in. Same issue. Disconnect battery and let it sit for 15 mins. Try again and still nothing. I had managed to roll the windows down earlier as its a humid night, but now I can't get them to roll up. Power locks are also not working now. Then randomly I try the key again, and it fires right up. Immediately I roll up the windows as we have nothing but rain forecast this week. I shut it back off wait 30 seconds and start up again. Worked a 2nd time. So turn it off, start putting things back together. Try one more time, and back to no crank no start. And now the car alarm starts going off. Had to disconnect battery and leave it that way for the night as I don't think my neighbors would appreciate my alarm going off again tonight. Any thoughts or help would be appreciated.

      GMC 1500 Illuminated Front Grill Emblem REPLACEMENT.

      By Peoplemvr · Posted

      Hi there.  Long time lurker, first post.    i have read the previous posts regarding the water ingress problem with this emblem.  I bought my 1500 SLT the  summer of 2025 new and after reading the MANY problems with these emblems failing I decided to install one anyways.  As per a YouTube video, I sealed ( or tried to) this sign with silicone sealant around the outer perimeter joint and the holes that were already somewhat sealed on the rear plate of the emblem.  And installed the connector assembly using dielectric grease on the connectors. The installation looked great and worked well for about 4 months……then FAILURE.  Grrrrrr…… I live in the great white north and wash my truck weekly in an automatic car wash  to keep the salt off.  Let me tell you that removing the old, failed emblem is a whole different animal than removing the OEM individual letters without removing the grill assembly. Mainly because the illuminated logo is built differently than the original letters which  you can remove the red surface lettering with a knife or some kind of blade which gives access to the tabs which hold the logo onto the grill. So I had to essentially destroyed the old emblem to remove it. Doing so killed my chance of doing somekind of autopsy on the failed , old logo.  But there was plenty of water inside when I ripped it apart.  Prior to installing the new assembly I tried it with the old harness and it works fine.   Does anyone have any insight as to where the water is getting into this emblem? I intend to seal the new logo with slow curing epoxy this time around using a syringe.  I think this newer emblem may be an updated unit which I hope GM got the vendor to fix. It has an October 2025 date on it.    If this one  fails,  I am just going to revert back to the non-illuminated letters….AFTER PULLING THE GRILL.    Any thoughts on sealing with epoxy would be appreciated. Thx!   Doug
