Does anyone actually use bixby?

[recDNA]

It's not Bixbie that bothers me. It is the stupid dedicated button.

 

[Mr-Guy]

use it constantly

 

[Beansr519]

use it constantly

How exactly do you use it? is it just for internal phone use, such as "Bixby, turn on the hotspot"?

 

[Tim1954]

Mine is disabled and blocked by the firewall...

I I've tried couple of times but still Bixby is having difficulties with my voice and still doesn't know that I don't know about farenheits because I live in the the part of Europe where we use Celsius... Google response much better on my voice to wake up or do some things that I require but with Bixby I have to yell, even that I already set voice sensitivity to maximum

for making phone calls and turning on flashlight yeah but not much else , but it is useful (in a useless sort of way)

 

[OJsakila]

I, too, found it difficult and frustrating to do what "I" wanted it to do.
I've since disabled it and re mapped the button to do several different things for me including starting the flashlight from screen off with a long push and starting Shazam with two quick pushes.. When the screen is on I have it start Textra and again Shazam. I like music

 

[kixfan]

Nope. I immediately remapped the button to open the google assistant.

Remap your Bixby button with BX Actions, from the playstore . Having a configurable shortcut physical switch is to me a plus.

First thing when I got my Note 9 was diable Bixby so I've never even tried it. I'm very satisfied with Google Assitant and have no plans on ever changing.

 

[Miljan Milosavljevic]

The only thing that I don't like Google assistant is when I say " play music" Note 9 always want to play from Google application, and if it's not installed-no music then. with bigxby I can enjoy with Samsung app music

None of these assistents worked for me.

However instead of disabbling the button I found a usefull and rational use case. Pressing the button I can mute the phone completly for a meeting. Pressing it again it is unmuted.

I use an app called "Bixby Mute".

 

[pizza_pablo]

I try but most things fail.

She won't read last text message aloud, from a third party sms app, just like Google won't any longer.

I thought hands free was encouraged!

 

[Johnston212]

I do, although voice doesn't seem to be responding since the Pie update

I use Bixby just fine. I mapped one press for Bixby and two for Google assistant. I use both differently. For me they work well together.

You mean how do you access it ?

 

[Climb14er]

No... and dislike the button which gets in the way, immensely.
