Hi All. I just bought an 2019 XC60 Inscription last week. I paired my Android based Galaxy S9 to it and was able to listen to, read, and send text messages, including by pressing the Voice button on the steering wheel and saying "text *name*." All of a sudden that isn't working - Voice says "no connection is available, please try again later." I did just update my phone to Android 10 so I'm wondering whether that has anything to do with it. Has anyone else experienced similar?

Thanks.

 

Same here on my xc90. I read somewhere it had to do with the AT&T hot spot, but that makes no sense to me as I'm using my phone to text not the car. Have you found a solution?

 

Any update on this. My 2022 xc60 has the same issue

 

I have been able to have the car read out my text messages but didn't know we could dictate a reply. I just looked into the manual and found this but don't know if it will help your issue or if I might have the same issue now. Car is in the garage.

To send a text message with a reply:

1. In the Home Screen, swipe from right to left to open the App screen
2. Select Messages
3. Select the name of the contact and then tap Answer to reply

-or-
Press the voice button on the steering wheel and say "reply", "message", or "dictate" to speak your message and when prompted say "send"

Note: If you do not already have Data sharing enabled when you use voice to text, a pop up will display asking you to allow Data sharing, select "Allow"

 

Just reporting that my speech to txt did work, I replied to one while out. Kool beans, you taught me something new LOL
Thank you

 

Are there any updates to this issue? I have the same problem with my Android phone.

Thanks.

 

I have the exact same problem with a brand new XC 90 recharge insignia. It’s happened before and I do not remember the resolution. I have a iPhone 12. I can receive texts but I cannot initiate sending them using the hands-free control. This is my second Volvo and seven years newer than my last. Sadly, electronics have not gotten any better. When you call the customer service center, they look in the owners manual, just like you did before you called them. I’ll never get another Volvo.

 

2022 XC90 Recharge Insignia with same problem using iPhone 12 running IOS 15. Can receive texts but can't initiate using hands-free button. Says There is no connection, please try again later.

 

I have the same issue. It was working fine for 2 years and just stopped. I have an android. It's the same phone I have had the whole time.

 

Try disconnecting and reconnecting phone
