Bixby gets remapped

[BeyondtheTech]

Looks like third-party app All in one Gestures is one way to get it done, and it looks like it can currently be redirected to Google Now, not Google Assistant.

This looks very interesting.

 

[smooth4lyfe]

Yeessss Hope it stays like that

 

[ThrottleJohnny]

I like this. But I hope at some point Samsung allows for remapping themselves.

 

[robber]

So great!

I agree.

Honestly, why would they offer it themselves? If they are really trying to push this new AI, so much so that they're dedicating a button for it, the only way to ensure that the most people use it as possible is to not allow it to be remapped. Not saying I agree with that, but it's smart on their end.

Yeah I agree I doubt they would allow it on their own. They want it for their Bixby software, they made it specifically for that purpose.

 

[EMGSM]

Yeah it's just wishful thinking. Samsung already stated that they have no plans to support remapping.

 

[DWS44]

Support remapping? More like, how long until they decide to block the third-party apps from remapping it?

Apparently everyone wants Bixby regarding the other thread "Anyone Else Having Second Thoughts?"
I for one am fully aware it is being forced upon us and we, WE, do NOT want it!

Do you have evidence as to the "WE" in the don't want category? Or is it "YOU" that doesn't want it?

Yup. In plain sight. This thread. Now please stop shilling and following me.

I simply asked a question . I know a few people who like AI so I can definitely say that some people do enjoy / want it.

Well I can't argue with you there, and I agree, some people do want such things. There should have been an S8 (+) and a separate S8i or S8-Ai for such "sci-fi nerds"

One thing to keep in mind is that Bixby is preproduction at this point. It may even still need work on release but I am willing to be patient with it. With every new feature, there are bound to be growing pains.

I just finally gave in and ordered the s8 this afternoon and I might or might not be interested in remapping the button. However, when it says RIGHT IN THE APP that it will record your data including cc numbers then I'm out unless a safe way can be found to get this done.

You do know that Microsoft reads EVERY keystroke in Windows 10. And THAT is in their User Agreement. My point? Why would you worry if some "random" 3rd Party can read information that the Phone itself and all these Microsofts, Apples and Samsungs already do.
For all we know, this Key Mapping software has been designed by Samsung themself. What we need to do is disable it FULLY, not just the button that executes Bixby. It's still running "under the hood"

Samsung's name isn't YS Liang and they aren't based out of Taiwan.

I guess if you can prove this YS Liang has the same privacy policies in place as major corporations then maybe you are on to something.
