Has anyone figured out how to disable the obnoxious notification to enable Bixby Vision every time you open the camera app??
It doesn't seem to matter how many times I close it, it continues to pop up every time I open the camera.
The popup doesn't show anymore after you actually try it. Worked for me.

Thanks, I'll give it a shot.
I'm kinda screwed I guess because I completely disabled Bixby and I see that stupid popup every time. Guess I'll need to re-enable Bixby, tap that shortcut, and disable it again.

What did you use to disable Bixby, and what happens now when you accidentally hit that button? TIA.

I used BK Package Disabler on the Google Play Store. It was $1.49. Completely disabled Bixby and used All In One Actions to remap the Bixby button to launch Google Now. Works perfectly!

Did you take any software updates yet since getting the phone? I'm just curious if BK Disabler will still work properly after taking the update that killed the Bixby button remap.
I was using BxActions to remap the button, but I knowingly took the update (TMobile) anyhow. It would be nice to disable Bixby completely, maybe this Disabler you used is the way to go.
I think the phone downloaded an update during setup but so far I'm good to go. Maybe those updates are Carrier-specific? I'm on Verizon. If my Bixby button remap gets killed I'll let everyone know.
The BK Package Disabler still works on my Verizon S8+, even after today's update. I don't know about the key mapper.
I bought PD Pro this AM and tried disabling Bixby Vision. It made the camera crash every time I opened it. I restored it ok. Now I am going to try the "use it once" method that I missed the first time.
What about disabling the popup when you go to view photos in the gallery? That still seems to have the popup, even after using it once.
Still can't rid my phone of this annoyance ..Ridiculous !!!

Disable Bixby Vision Pop-up In Camera
Delete this foler by rootexplorer /system -app - VisionIntelligence
I'm not sure how, but I'm no longer getting the popup. Been at least 4 days since I last had it when opening the camera app. Never actually tried out the feature either. Maybe it just stops after so long? I'm not sure.
If you go through the prompt to start the bixby vision you're then agreeing to all their sharing terms which I don't want to do.
Additionally it's bringing up this little dot on every picture in my gallery and if you click the dot it wants to launch the bixby thing again. This is soooo annoying

It's VERY easy to disable the popup.
Long press anywhere on the homescreen, then swipe left and you will see a little slider to turn bixby on/off.
Just select OFF and voila.....no more annoying bixby popup in the camera app!!
press thanks If I helped

You'll probably have to root and freeze or uninstall S-Finder.
Found one solution: Tasker profile
Trigger:
Variable Set: %WIN
Value: S Finder
Action:
Open Google search
You NEED to enable tasker service from Settings -> Device -> Accessibility -> Under Services there is "Tasker - JB"
CAUTION! This will disable one handed "windowed" mode for some reason.
Only way i have found to use menu key as Google now, but really bad way since it breaks windowed mode.
And why so hard way? because for some reason Tasker doesn't show S Finder in app list...
Also made post to Tasker group
Yes. This has to get fixed

If you don't care about using S Finder, you can freeze it in Titanium.

This only stops S Finder to appear, I want to use app's built in search function with holding menu button.
same here, S Finder is easy to freeze, but the TouchWiz must try to start google, instead if internal bloat.
For me, if I hold the search menu, it will start Google search... But if I hold it a little more, s finder will start. I'm using a third party launcher (nova launcher) which has an option for the menu button... But this does not disable s finder from appearing.
If my device is not rooted, is there a way to freeze s finder?
This is pissing me off too. I got svoice disabled (double tapping home) but not svoice.
Anyone else have a crack at this? I can't get it to disable in the applications menu. It's greyed out.
Some launchers let you set the options.
Otherwise, don't think you can without rooting. Irritatingly, because S Finder keeps running and I never have nor ever will use it. I remember where I keep things...

Install a different launcher. It lets you set the button controls. (Apex, Nova, Next, TSF..)

this does not completely work...
I have Nova Launcher... and when I select Google Search for the menu button, yes it will lanch Google... but if I hold it a little more, S Finder will open over Google Search.
I hope there's a solution for this. It's an annoying "feature".

This is great for those of use that have already rooted our Note 3's, but with the Knox warranty issue I was hoping to find a solution that doesn't require root access. I have several friends with Note 3's that aren't rooted.

It prevents s finder from opening but holding menu button still does not activate apps built-in search function.

just realized i can't take screenshots using the usual [home button] + [power button] combo (as in, nothing happens). i killed a couple of processes using package disabler pro, but not faceProvider (which i dont even see)
anyone else having this problem, any settings i need to change? just noticed some apps don't like screenshots being taken (e.g. standard chartered's banking app, which makes it difficult to send screenshots to show payment confirmation)
The only way that I could figure out was to use the "palm swipe" across the screen. Go to Settings>Device>Advanced Features>Palm swipe to capture set to "on"
Nothing else worked for me either.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using Tapatalk
You have to hold down the Home/center button and the power button for 3 seconds.. let me know if it works for you too
banking and protected apps no, you need to have root and xposed frame work and then down load a certain module to disable secure flag for screen shots system wide, then you can screenshot anything.
Palm swiping is much easier and built in.
Works for me, although I prefer the palm swipe to take a screen shot.
You have to hold them both down.
Press and hold them at the same time. If you press and hold one before the other, it might not work.
Palm swipe doesn't seem to work with nova launcher? Anyone else having that problem? Power and home button works though.
I'm also having a similar issue although in my case, when I hold down the buttons simultaneously...it launches "Ok Google" instead of taking a screenshot.
The palm swiping gesture works very inconsistently atm.
Maybe worth noting: I'm using the Samsung Good Lock app.
You ve to hold them on the same time for 2 seconds

My phone has flashed with International Stock Rom no mod.
Palm swipe so hard to use, it doesn't always work.
The Palm Swipe option get turns off couples time, no idea why.
When I turn it on first palm swipe works great, but after that no matter how I try it wouldn't do it.

I think this might be why my Palm Swipe would disable it self.
When I enable it, it would work for 1-2 times.
then how ever I try wouldn't do a screenshot.

With palm swipe set to "on", It is working with nova launcher/Android 8.0 XSG region. Under nova launcher settings you have the options for swipe down or swipe up, maybe conflicting with the palm swipe capture. Try updating your Nova Launcher to the latest version to cope up with the latest OS. This may help.

I'm ok with it, mainly because eventually we will get to remap it to whatever we want. There are bixby apps out right now, but they don't work 100% for me and bixby sometimes comes through.
I do think the phone needs some getting used to after switching to it coming from the Nexus 6p. Mostly cause the Nexus is huuuge

I just disabled the bixby apk's. Actually I left one that wasn't disabled as I read somewhere you needed to leave one running, but I used package disabler pro to disable the rest. That way the bixby button does nothing when pressed. Until Bixby is mature enough to be usable, I would rather not have the button do anything. I use google now for my voice assistant if I need a voice assistant (mainly for looking up an address while driving, although I can send a text via voice or other things like that). If Bixby gets updated to where it would be worth it to use then I may re-enable the bixby button and apk's.
all the time, especially when im trying to use the volume buttons as a shutter for the camera.
all the time...
Never
Maybe because I'm left-handed ?
I have my Bixby button remapped to the flashlight but would rather it not be there. Everyone seems to want it remapped to okay google but all you have to do is say okay google.
I've disabled it to do nothing.

Package disabler pro, disable everything bixby
Yes. I tend to mistake the bixby button for the volume down key.
And I still hate the fingerprint scanner placement!
It was posted earlier in this thread that all you have to do is use package disabler pro and disable the Bixby apk's. It is really easy. Yes, you have to pay for package disabler pro in the play store.
At this point Bixby has straight up given up trying if I accidentally press the button.
I have it remapped to Google Now for now.
New to Android. Is there a way to disable bixby while the phone is locked. I enjoy the features it offers but I do not like how it opens with an accidental press in my pocket.

I just updated my unlocked S8 plus. Once Bixby updated I got the settings symbol and it gave me the option to turn off the button. This is great.

I installed the apk, saw the option from the pull down and after enabling it, it disappeared. Not in the settings either and although I selected to disable it,it isn't working.

go to bixby home and press the settings logo on top right the option to disable the button will show up directly , dont go into bixby settings just press the settings logo in bixby home
Still wakes te phone accidentally when I pull it off my pocket. Well, it's half fixed at least, but I see Samsung's point: why would we need a button there which does nothing. .
I've had it disabled completely (pressing button does nothing, ever) since June. Just use BK package disabler (no root required) to disable ALL bixby related apps.
I was searching around on how to remove the stock junks and found this thread that shows how to uninstall apps by using adb commends. (https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8/how-to/how-to-remove-oem-bloatware-s8-s8-t3654687 ) And I just got rid of anything that has bixby in it....
Bixaction was not working properly at the moment, so I thought I'd give a try and yes, it did seem to work. Now bixby is gone. Swiping to the left and pressing the button does nothing. One drawback is it completely killed the button, too which I'd love to
keep and remap it to something useful. Removed some stock app as well. Restarting the phone has no issues. Now I wonder if there's anyway to make that dead button work again
Thx w2830 It's a great idea, I removed bixby and other stuff
Here another turorial : https://www.xda-developers.com/uninstall-carrier-oem-bloatware-without-root-access/
Don't hate the Bixby. It doesnt support my language at the moment but i believe it has some future.
By the way, does remapping app work?
After removing what I did, no. BixAction stopped working which makes sense. I have some ideas in my head and will be testing them out
Ohhhh. You are better off disabling them thru the working app than removing completely. If u decide you need them later, you end up having to reset your device vs 1 click re enable. Bxactions beta is case in point. He now has it working better. Now you need the voice piece to use it.
Your phone, your choice.

lol... anyways.
just reinstall bixby voice. its the only module needed for bx actions to communicate with the bixby service/button
or flash back stock. learn your lesson in disabling a package instead of removing it and then just leave Bixby voice untouched.
