Don't know what to tell you. I have an older Android Galaxy S6 and drive a 2020 F150 XLT. The phone paired with the Sync3 just fine but the second time I used it and turned off BT the 8" display screen froze up...wouldn't let me do anything. After about an hour with the truck not running it finally reset itself. I haven't tried to use BT since.

I've had a little weridness with Android Auto, but not that problem. Is there a "do not disturb" setting or something turned on? Are you sending them with voice command through android auto, or a different way?

Yeah, very weird. Worked fine for the first year or so. I can send text via voice command. Sync 3 just won.t recognize incoming texts.

Sounds like an Android OS problem.

Have you checked for updates?

I did an update just a few days ago.

There was something on the net about some recent Android updates that broke some things. It might self-correct in a week or so. Personally, I haven't seen any issues, but I'm still on Sync 2.
