Bixby update to open any app is live finally

[mustang7757]

Mustang 7757, I have unlocked note 9, updated Bixby app and no Bixby key under advanced features? Being unlocked not on Pie yet.

I'm not sure , because your on Oreo and I'm pie right now

I have only been able to locate Bixby Key simply under the settings within Bixby (and not advanced features). However, there are still only the options "Press once to open Bixby" and "Press twice to open Bixby."

Go into Bixby, then Settings, then About Bixby Voice. There, I was able to update. Then everything showed up as Mustang described...

Should be in settings >advanced features> Bixby key

Thanks for replying. Bixby Key isn't on my phone. I've checked Bixby settings and the phones settings. Even typed it into the search engine. Maybe some of Samsung's region- locking activity.

Yeah that's strange.

Yeah that's strange.

Thanks for the help. Not sure how I got there but finally found it after double tapping the bixby button. I also had never set up Bixby voice. Probably why I couldn't find the option. Once I set up the Bixby voice I then had the option to single press the bixby button. I have it opening up the camera app.

My note 8 Bixby voice never worked so I never tried it on the Note 9. May have to play around with it some now..

Your welcome, yeah probably because you didn't set it up , but now enjoy remapping it .

it doesnt look like you can use the new mapping option to turn the flashlight ON and then back Off.. only turn on

I read somewhere that you can't reassign to Google Assistant...

Yes downloaded assistant app but couldn't assign.

I would rather double press to open an app and nothing for single press, far too many times you accidentally hit that button I don't want to keep butt dialing a random app with single press.

Same! I'm trying to get it to start my flash light, but i think i'd have to download an app

I pretty much agree with that. I was always opening Bixby accidentally until I opted for the double press.

I have already done this a few times, and am still being told that I have the most recent version. But thank you.

Yeah, it would be nice if they gave you a little more flexibility. Maybe one day...

What do you do with this file once it's been downloaded?

 

[waqqas31]

Yes downloaded assistant app but couldn't assign.

This is by design. No other assistants can be assigned.

Bxactions is working so awesomely for me that I'm not even going to bother updating Bixby.

Go to Bixby where it says pick a app pick Bixby remap app

 

[kgilbertsen]

Can you explain this in more detail? I don't see how/where to do this. Thanks

BXactions was buggy for me. There was usually a significant delay. Some times it would start to activate Bixby first before going to assigned action. And every now and then would all together not work.
