So, how do you make phone calls?I feel stupid talking to my phone. I don't want people hearing what I'm doing. The voice stuff has never really appealed to me.

I open the phone app, click on the button for the contact I want to call and then I talk to the person. Not my phone.So, how do you make phone calls? //uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170911/a7285d393cc35b261f9e54dd07b530ba.gif
There's no need to feel stupid talking to your phone. No one's gonna pay any attention to you. I know you've looked around and see a lot of people using their phones in some kinds of way. Talking, texting or something. If you don't like using voice stuff in public you can use it in private, like when you're cooking, washing dishes, driving, hands wet, hands dirty, hands full. I hope this helps.I feel stupid talking to my phone. I don't want people hearing what I'm doing. The voice stuff has never really appealed to me.

Im not sure about Spotify but on Google play it does exactly that when you say it. But with the custom commands that I've been using it's ways to get it to do what you want with any app if you tweak it just right. Because you can combine several commands together. But then again it might work with Spotify just as it does with Google play music.When making your own custom commands it's still only limited to the commands you can search within Bixby right? I'd love to set it up so that when I said something like "play linkin park" it would open Spotify and start my Linkin Park playlist. It can't do that because it's very specific to me and not a common command right?
I find sometimes it can't hear me or won't answer to the voice command so pushing the button works great in those moments.why push the button? how's it like?
Bixby learns you. That's why the more you use it, it'll begin to understand your pronunciation of words. Go into settings and read the explanation of Bixby and the tutorials.It's young, and not very intuitive yet. It also has issues understanding/pronouncing many words. I'm hoping they keep making improvements, but right now it's WAAAAY behing Google and Siri...Cortana too.

Where's the eye-roll emoji. Haha. I guess I communicate with another person by talking to my phone. I don't like communicating with my phone tho. In public anyway.no, you talk to the phone and then your cell phone converts your voice into an electrical signal, which is then transmitted via radio waves.![]()
Do it from regular trial and error, for instance without going into the quick command menu just from your phone home page say hi Bixby and then say what you want it to do. Don't use the pre-installed commands unless it applies. I just sit around and think of things I want it to do then I'll keep asking Bixby in different ways until I get the desired results.How are you actually adding the customization commands? When I go to this the only options I have is either use what's in Bixby history or search commands. I looked at you optimize phone and when I try to set something similar up it doesn't find, for example, go to battery settings. Etc

Once you get a few commands that you like then go back to quick commands, and set up your command using the history and then put the commands in the order that you want. I hope this makes sense.![]()
