Show us your Bixby Quick commands!

[GregMargie]

Thank you for starting this Great thread Gray, and all your suggestions! I agree this should be made a Sticky Thread!

I've only had my Note 8 (coming from a Note 4) a few weeks and looked at using Bixby several times only to shut it down several times for a few reasons.... the permissions.....then it stating it only works in "simplified setting mode", haven't fully researched yet what all simplified mode changes/turns off; other than voice commands on camera, which I use??? I really want to utilize Bixby, so I will definitely continue to follow this thread in order to feel more comfortable and knowledgeable about using it! Thanks again to you and all who are contributing!!

Calculate...opens 3rd party calculator in pop up window mode! I couldn't get it to open the stock calculator in pop up, but works with others np.

What these people dont understand is that Bixby's purpose is entirely different. Bixby is a philosophically different AI agent. Its actually, ironically, an assistant unlike Google's. It helps you get things done doing tasks/routines/work. Isnt that what real life assistants are for? This is the part most people just don't understand.

Actually, I don't think it is that people don't understand. Anyone can understand that Bixby can do a lot of things that Google Assistant cannot. But for a lot of people (like me), for the most part those things are not useful for me because I can do them faster/easier without Bixby. There are some things that Bixby does that are useful for me, but nearly all those things can be done better by Google Assistant. So for MY purposes, Bixby and Google Assistant are substitutes and Google Assistant is much better.

I'm enjoying Bixby very much so far! I also added some quick commands. However, is there a way to add a command to tap something on the screen to a quick command?

For example: in spotify, you can say search or your library and it will click those buttons. Unfortunately, I don't see this in my history. Also typing the command directly in bixby will pop up in history, but will only result in a google search of the specified term.

Thanks in advance!

Can I create a quick command to change the exceptions in do not disturb? such as "in meeting" would turn on Do not Disturb with no exceptions and "home" would have customized exceptions.

The response time is too slow. By the time I say, Hey Bixby....wait for it to respond, ....then say what I want....then if it gets it right, it tries to do it, I could have jist done it already myself. In the case of these quick commands, it might be faster, if what I'm doing involves multiple actions, but there's always the chance that it just doesn't hear me correctly and I end up wasting time. Google is a far superior, other than the quick commands. And the way Samsung is shoving Bixby down your throat makes it feel like something to avoid.

I found a hack, Use the command "Can you please just be quiet". It will make Bixby pause for almost 3 seconds without saying or replying anything to you.
Use this command as many times in the quick command as per your desired time.
