Bixby button

[torbach1]

I also used Package Disabler Pro to disable all Bixby items. After a recent update on T-Mobile that included Bixby updates, I re-enabled, checked out the changes, determined it was still no more useful than Google Now and disabled it again. Not sure when Samsung will launch voice support. I'll try that too, but unless it really allows me to both launch apps and control what they do, as promised by Samsung, I'll disable it again. I find the number of assistants on the market already more than necessary. Google Now works very well. Cortana also does, but I don't need both. Siri is pretty bad compared to any of them. I had Alexa on my Mate 9. I don't think Alexa really makes a ton of sense on a phone.

For some reason I always hitting the Bixby button by accident. I have a Speck Presidio and I cut out the Bixby button part. No more accidents. //uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170610/bc4d2de6625407361d0a80f3ace1bd7a.jpg

Very smart idea. However, when Bixby comes out, you might want to try it.

Bixby will be better than Google Assistant. It'll actually do what you say, vs. limited Google Assistant.

I agree. I'm very excited to see the working product

Yeah but this does no good for the OP unless there's some other function he wants to accidentally activate all the time.

Better when you could remap Bixby and actually use it for something good.
