Android Auto texting issue

I am having random issues where I will be driving down the road and get a text. It shows up on the infotainment screen but its not showing up on the phone.

 

Most the time it works and as far as I know I am not having any missing text when not connected to truck.  Just frustrating to not fully read the text on the truck expecting it to be on the phone to read when I get stopped not to find it there.

 

On another note, anyone know how to get out of the vehicle and lock the door with it running with the Fob in your pocket?

If I'm wanting it to idle while I'm not in it, I'm usually in a place that I don't feel it is necessary to lock it.

 

However, I sometimes shut it off, get out, lock the door and then use the fob for a 'remote start'.

I used to do that with my 2017 High Country but that was different system.  I have been unable to get my drivers door to lock with it running. I thought the manual said hold the lock and extended amount of time. Maybe I did not hold it long enough.

Who is your wireless company? I haven't had anything like that happen with my truck for 2 years before and after the software recall. Verizon

Welp, it's not the wireless company then. Have you done the recall?

Which recall? It's been back for software updates 2 times in the 6 months I have owned it. It's slightly less quirky than when I bought it.

I think you misread what I posted.

 

Shut it off.

Get out.

Lock the door.

Use the remote to re-start.

I am sure that works. But I don't take fob out of my pocket all day. And I don't want to shut it off and restart it. It does that on its own more than I like as is it.

 

Just should be an easy way to lock it why running.

I have a similar problem and I have Verizon but it has nothing to do with the carrier. My problem is I use google messenger and with RCS chat enabled, I will receive a text message while driving and my radio will let me play it back but if I do not send a reply to that message, my cell phone will only show the message in the notification screen and not in google messenger.

 

If I disable RCS chat there is no problem with passing messages between the phone and truck. I do not use android auto anymore and just have my phone connected to my radio and use the built in maps with my phone on mobile hotspot so I cannot attest if this issue is also present with android auto.

Your choice. 

 

But it is a solution that will have it running with the doors locked.

Hope I did not sound unappreciative or snarky as that was not intent.   For my lifestyle its just nice to have the Fob in my pocket and not take it out all day.  In the winter when its sub zero its just nice to run into the quicky mart for a soda or into a customers to drop something off and not shut the truck off.

 

Thanks again.

also your part of locking the truck while leaving it run on ignition is possible. Unfortunately you cannot hit the outside button on the handle or press/press & hold the lock button inside the door to get it to lock. You need to pull the remote out and press the lock button on the remote to secure the truck while it continues to run the engine at idle. Your dash will complain about the missing key but it will go away when you return inside with the fob.

 

The one item I did not test but i'm thinking it won't make a difference, if you go in the radio and disable the anti lockout feature, would it let you press the lock button on the door and secure the truck without needing to press the button on your remote.

 

When you return to the truck you can keep the remote in your pocket and just push the unlock button on the door handle to open the truck back up though.

      Sure, but they do have some affordable options like the Trax, Trailblazer, Envista, and Encore. Some of these have a cheaper base price than the Civic, though the fuel economy isn’t as high. The main problem is that people WANT the highest trim with all the goodies and finance for like 7 years. That’s how ppl “afford” the more expensive vehicles.

      Holy s**t - not much of a parts thrower you say? You BLASTED that thing with the parts cannon!  You'd have been probably $1,000 ahead if you had just brought it to a competent shop rather than shotgunning a bunch of parts it clearly didn't need.   Just FYI - oil additives are really, REALLY good at ONE thing ... and that's emptying your wallet. They're ALL useless gimmicks.   If that has the L94 or L99, then #7 is an AFM cylinder. I'd suspect a failed lifter in that case.   If you leaned on wiring, sensors, and/or connectors while changing the oil, you'll have to check all that to be sure pins didn't get pulled out, connectors broken, etc.. Old wire loom that was barely adequate when new is certainly brittle by year 19 - make sure wires aren't chaffed and shorting out somewhere where you might have leaned. or supported yourself on it.   If your a mechanic, why didn't you just find out what you were missing and troubleshoot from there??  TIMED spark, fuel PSI / injector pulse, air, compression.  Can't make ANY money going the parts cannon route.

      LOL! Are you joking?? That wax SUCKS! 100% gimmick made to "look" good.    After just TWO winters I had severe surface rusting in patches over 90% of the frame. Only reason it looks great in the pics is because I SATURATED the frame every single fall with used motor oil for 14 of the 16 years I owned it. Otherwise it would've been sent to the crusher 8 years earlier with the speed it was rusting prior!    I sold that POS 3 years ago. Was a gigantic headache the second it rolled off the showroom floor. Brakes pulsated on the TEST DRIVE. Door trim fell off the 1st week! Interior squeaked and rattled, and the drivetrain clunked after 2k miles. 4x4 switch failed shortly after. Front end - ball joints, struts, hub bearings - all failed between 38k-50k. Engine started burning oil at 50k. Rear and and transmission failed before 100k. Nothing but problems, and frustration with the piss-poor engineering designed to make you give up. Well, it worked! Nothing on that truck was easy to remove ... except the wheels. They haven't figured out how to screw that up yet. Give 'em time ...   I won't make that mistake again. EVER.   Such fond memories ... https://postimg.cc/K1qf23tS  https://postimg.cc/gallery/X02z64J  https://postimg.cc/gallery/mHSRXZv  https://postimg.cc/gallery/D4mMRfL

      OBD not ready?

      By davester · Posted

      Different monitors do their test only under conditions specific to that monitor.  you MIGHT find the drive cycle conditions for the monitor that isn't ready on this site: https://lemon-manuals.la/   If it's not there, then it should be on alldata.com for your truck, but it requires a paid subscription.   And you need to know which specific monitor isn't ready.
