[Q] Bixby XP to Samsung Pay reward - Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers

i cant seem to find the option to convert it to my S pay. is this still available?

Click there on your Bixby screen and it will take you to Samsung Pay or just go directly to Samsung Pay. You don't need to convert anything, that page should show you how much Samsung Pay points you got from Bixby

Bixby Voice Wake up Set up?

Does anyone use Bixby? How do you set up it up to use Bixby voice to open up the phone?
In California, we can't use the phone while driving. I want to access the phone with voice using Bixby voice command to call someone in case of emergency without pulling to the sideroad to touch the phone.

Voice only seems to work when she feels like it. I just keep using Google Assistant.

I don't like to use any type of phone assistant (I do use and love my Echo/Alexa, though), but I'm going to use Bixby to get those points, too.
not had any issues unlocking my phone with bixby - the voice password thing works extremely well.
man bixby briefing, voice unlock, opening apps... all that ish works just fine!
i used to use the IFTTT but now with action commands, i dont need to do this. I just say "hi bixby , office" and she does exactly what i want her to do.
she is even smart enough to know if some of the actions i ask her to do are already set. she will say "hmm seems you are already using that.."
so, i have no qualms about this skirt.. :fingers-crossed:

Bixby version 2.0, your thoughts?

Note 9 announced, so came Bixby along with it. This time it's version 2.0, out of the box. Samsung says it's now better at predicting user needs, processing natural languages and is quicker. You like it or you are going to remap it with a remapper or disable it forever? Or you want it to be dead already? Share your thoughts.
I'm too heavily invested in the Google assistant ecosystem. I liked how DJ Koh talked about how fragmented systems are because companies want to control, but results in a poor user experience, but then of course there's no way to disable bixby easily....not very open if you ask me.
I'll still test it out of interest.

Well, you can forget Bixby home, let only the "Bixby voice" to stay and to follow your commands, can disable both and 4get forever or can Remap with remapper.

Bixby seems to faster and context aware now (like Google Assistant), based on what I saw in Flossy Carter's unboxing and hands-on video (@8:02).

Yup, I watched that video sometime back. It's indeed improved but personally I'm not at all a fan of it when Google assistant so damn good
Hopefully its aware enough to disable itself before I do.

That could have been dope . Unfortunatrly, u will have to do that on your own for now.
Ill never use it, ill just disable it again like with my s8 plus
sent from my Exynos S9 plus, Pixel 2 XL or Note FE
I think I'll give it another shot. Only reason I had stopped using was because I'm invested in Google Assistant. At least that's what I thought until just now when I realized, the only thing I use Google Assistant for is a 30 minute timer for my lunch clock punches.
Plus there's just something weird about saying "Hi Bixby," out loud.

I tried my best to like it for quite sometime yesterday. And soon I realized.... NOO Wayyy! this ain't my assistant.
there is a way to disable it and remap the button to something else without root right?

Yes, by executing Android Debug Bridge commands as there are some nice remappers out there.

good to know that. Thanks!
I currently use it only for system control. My daily driver is Google.
I use Bixby all the time. Google Assistant is my reminder only use. Now that it remembers you are in a conversation and don't have to keep repeating the initial context I'll be using it even more.
I'm not seeing options to disable Bixby hardware button entirely in Note 9, unlike S9/S9+.
The settings and UI are different in Note 9 in comparison to S9/S9 plus,but no option of "do nothing" when you press the Bixby key in Bixby settings or Bixby voice settings.
**The unit I'm having is NOT a retail unit, it's a demo/review unit, with latest OTA flashed 2 days back with few enhancements and August security patch. The option to turn the Bixby hardware button into a totally "dead" button might show up in retail units.

Nope no "switch off" bixby buttons... very annoying And BX actions isn't working "yet". I gave Bixby a try for a couple of hours... it's a no go for me.

ButtonMapper doesn't work as well. But I would assume those apps might work in future once devs start working on it.
Update:
Checked a retail unit and Bixby settings are not different from the demo/review unit I had been using.
So, using bixby/phone settings one cannot turn the button completely off, for now. This is ugly and a step backwards from S9/S9+ IMO.

Remove samsung pay shortcut from bottom of screen?

I love it. Just swipe up, press the fingerprint sensor and press it to the kiosk. Easier and works in more locations than Android Pay.

It's no good if your bank or MasterCard isn't partnered with Samsung Pay though. It's different for everyone.

Yes I 2nd that opinion... as hyped as Samsung Pay is, it's not widely compatible with a lot of UK banks so really what's the point if after many years from launch some of us are are still waiting.......
Samsung Pay is malware, like most Samsung bundled bloatware. Gallery was spammed with undismissable ads for onedrive in an effort to disable which I force stopped Samsung members and, for good measure, Samsung pay. Deleting data for Samsung Pay and clearing the cache caused it to reload, and it couldn't be dismissed. It overruled the Nova launcher apps drawer so that no apps could be opened.
It can't be got rid of by disabling (can't be disabled) or force stopping.
This meant that to make the phone basically functional again, Samsung pay had to be both signed into AND made default.
You have to open it and sign in, and then it gives you a 'choice' between making it the default payment app or shutting down. So no choice. Only once all that is done can you access its settings and turn off the quick access bar, notifications etc.
I hate their guts for wasting my time and energy like this, for trying to control me. I'd rather do almost anything now to make sure I allow them zero presence in my tech life.
Have not been able to find an easy way to root this s7 edge. With that done I'd soon deal with Samsung pay and its intrusive, evil ****ing bull****.

Go to settings (gear symbol) > apps > Samsung pay, Tap on Samsung pay. Scroll down to the advanced section where it says "draw over other apps" and select that. Tap the toggle switch off to disable the shortcut at the bottom of the home screen. (Android 10, One UI version 2.5)

I chose to map a single press using a Bixby Quick Command. It's setup like this: What you say to Bixby "Google Assistant", What Bixby does "open assistant". It seems to work just fine.
I haven't received the update yet on my Note 9. Even went into the Galaxy Store and no updates are found.
I have the tmobile note 9 on oreo 8.1. I went to galaxy store and did the updates then pressed the Bixby button to open the app. Then pressed the three dots then pressed settings and picked what I wanted the button to do.
Yay....
Still haven't gotten the update. Note 9 Pie AT&T
Yippy, finally a progressive Update from Samsung! ?
In my case I want to map out for Discover but the issue is the same.
update is there in galaxy apps
Note 9 India

Check the Galaxy Store application. Go into it's settings and enable notifications for app updates and also look at your "My Page" and you will see the "Update" section which will list all of your pre-installed Samsung apps that have available updates. The "All" section is all of your apps installed from the Galaxy Store.

Mine opens regular Google app when I do that, but I downloaded a modified assistant shortcut listed on Reddit. Works perfectly. Thank mate

What?
Step in the right direction, but you are forced to enable the single press of the button (either to bixby or app action) and this is not good as it will lead to unwanted app/bixby launches.

Any way to get the screenshot with single press Bixby button. I tried but it gives me a voice command and when screenshot is taken you can see "take a screenshot " message on the top of the screenshot. Any workaround?
Hi,
Is there a way I can remap the Bixby Key to toggle b/w silent & loud on off screen?

Bixby button not working as remapable button anymore

Hey folks, I had reddit on my remapable button for Bixby for single press and double press is Bixby, but something happened yesterday out of the blue and it is not working anymore and it launches Bixby on single press and its frozen. Tried to re do the whole process nothing got fixed, restarted the phone, nothing, I do not have any new software, I sont use games I dont use almost anything except Google stuff like calendar and keep, some things like viber, Skype, WhatsApp, a bibble, or scanner and reddit... so the idea is I should not have anything to break my phone in my eyes, but I just also remembered there were Samsung updates yesterday in the Samsung store, for the apps and Bixby was one of them, has any one had similar issues, and do you know a fix?
Nobody?
I got the update for Bixby & related applications. At first, the single click of bixby button did launch the bixby assistant. Then I went to settings & disabled>enabled it & it worked good again.

If you totally remove bixby can you still remap the button?
For example I disabled bixby using package disabler pro and seem to be having issues remapping...
Yes, I use bxActions for that.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...-bxactions-remap-bixby-button-single-t3832301
For me it works great. Action Shortpress is Display off and lang press Google Assistant.
After updating, I had to go through the Bixby setup the first time I hit the button but after that I'm back to normal on a single press.
