New Bixby Voice Stuff? - Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion

So a few days ago Bixby was prompting me to update and I couldn't update for some reason but I checked back today and now it works. I ended up Bixby voice diction when I had my keyboard open and I long presses the bixby button and this showed up. Dug into the settings and found other cool settings and was able to find a few other settings. Does this mean Bixby voice will come out soon? I'm on a T-Mobile Galaxy S8+ right now btw

Here's another setting I found

Another one

How did you force bixby to update im on sprint.

Hm, maybe when you're typing, have your keyboard open and then hold the Bixby button until you see something about diction. Make sure you're not using the official Samsung keyboard since that's how I found the settings

Are you in the US?

Weird.. well at this point I can't get the actual Bixby Voice to work. Just wanted to share what I found today since it might be a possible teaser for Bixby voice update coming later this month

Same. But;
I checked version strings, the apks are not new. Something else is adding English support.
We need to wait and get the update I suppose.

Swype officially available tomorrow!

Woohoo!
http://techcrunch.com/2010/06/15/want-swype-yes-you-do-get-it-tomorrow-for-android-phones/
I got excited about this and went to the beta page. It said it was still closed, and about two days ago I submitted my email address and stuff. Out of desperation, I tried to log in with my email and password. Strangely, it let me in. I hit resend email, and it sent me an email and let me download it. About five minutes after that, I got another email saying that I've been accepted into the beta.
Did I have lucky timing or is that a way around it? Try it out.
Will this be free or pay?
still havent gotten my beta invite

Am I the only one who greatly misses the voice-to-txt button? I mean if it just had that I would be golden.

I never use it, but I'd like it for completeness. This is Android, I wouldn't even mind if they made it something ridiculous like a swype command (Swipe from the Swype button to the letter V). At least quick search has the voice button on it. By that, I mean the system search thing.

Maybe I am spoiled but the voice to text in froyo is better then the one on the 2.1 ROMS and I use it all the time while driving etc.
Still no official release. At least I'm in the beta.

Got mine... I had the hacked version but I went ahead and installed the full beta version... Mostly the same but has a new way to enter words into the dictionary which is nice

I wish they had a dedicated button to launch voice entry for the times I want to use it

do they have more than one language in that beta?
Yes, Spanish and Italian.
They need a hide keyboard button on the Swype keyboard. It gets rather annoying when you need to hide it and can't.
I am with you on the voice button. That is the one thing Swype needs to add to their keyboard. I dont use it all the time, but I want it to be there for when I need it.

You do that by hitting BACK... it is different from the other keyboards but I have gotten used to it now.

hangout app emojis after update 4.4

Hello guys,
quick question here.
I updated last night my sprint galaxy s4
but now I don't see the google emojis on the hangout app
I only see the samsung emojis
Thank you. !
EDIT:
a user said this:
Samsung baked a custom hangouts in the rom to show their emoji instead.
Not exactly sure how that happened. My emoji button is attached to the text input bar on the left with location and photo on the right. There was an update released in the past few days. Tried uninstalling updates and reinstalling it?

Nothing to share. Just use any keyboard that isn't Samsung's keyboard and the emoji icon will reappear.

I just updated to swifty keyboard and indeed, the emoji icon does show up.
kind of strange
Is there a way to go back to the hangout style of emojis? I dont like the samsung looking icons, rather have the stock hangouts.
today I checked the hangouts app and it is showing the stock emojis
I am not sure how it happened but it is back.
Although when they display on the text field it shows the samsung ones :/
Exactly, I dont like that, I see the stock ones since I use Swiftkey. But when I enter them in or anyone else on the chat enters a emoji it shows as the samsung one. EERRRR

As long as you're stock, there's nothing you can do. It goes beyond just the hangouts app. As if they built it into their framework or something. Any emoji displayed on the phone at all will be displayed as the samsung version. I could go into more detail but, meh...

If so, try enabling it and see if the Voice thingy is back.

weird popup when I push power button

Hi:
I am running 4.4.2, which is rooted. When I push the power button to turn on the screen, I get a pop-up that says "This test version is too old, please update". Does anyone know what is going on? It does not seem to hurt anything.
Thanks.
Did you Google the message?

BxActions app works after firmware update to remap bixby button

Can confirm this app works :good: Restricted with what you can add to remap button but working fine now(Until Samsung get wind of it)
This works great. Thank you so much. Just an FYI, if you want this app to work you must leave one of the Bixby services intact. I used package disabler Pro to disable all the Bixby apps. I discovered that I needed to keep one of the Bixby Services intact in order for this experiment application to work. I attached a screenshot to show which service you must leave enabled
It's not working for me. Bixby still starts with the button. I tried rebooting and several different remaps. I received an OTA update last night. I wonder if that may have disabled it.
Best one so far, just need to leave 2 Bixby packages enabled, only need a single press and don'y see Bixby at all.
Cannot see how to enable the double press and long press.
Also i have not accepted the OTA. Disabled all update packages in case root comes out for an older version, want to keep it as the lowest possible version
This does work by the far best from what I've trjed. Can anyone help with assigning Google app? It assigns the assistant

It is important to note that there are several programs that work, but this one works PERFECTLY!
When I map to google assistant it just seems like it works hit or miss. If I map another program like Google Now it seems like it works 100%.
How / Where do i get the old version of bxActions to get the functionallity to get shortclick, longclick and doubleclick? I need this .APK... and i dont want to make any Samsung updates. Can someone send me the old .apk? Thanks so much!
