[Guide] How to activate Bixby Voice - Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion

Hi friends, I see everyone says they got updates but they can't use voice still. So here we go, Go in settings and change TIME only time not date and set it 23:48 PM.
Then press Bixby key a few times and it will activate.

Works

Wow, I thought let me just try it out, what's the worse that can happen. It actually works lol!

I would never post if it wouldn't work. I found this method of activating bixby myself.

Looks like its got potential but the fact its only working on US English makes it terrible, It really cant understand a word im saying with london accent

anyone got spotify working on it yet

For all my Indian friends !!
Bixby is on hold for India !! we won't get it at the moment.

I got it activated just by changing system language to English US

It is already active in Germany. Just open Bixby and the setup dialogue will appear

It's active in the UK now. Just opened it and just like v1rtu4l, I had the setup dialogue.

BTU united kingdom unbranded.
I can't get the UK Language though so it's useless because it can't understand my accent haha

At least you feel useless after trying it. But here in India there is no sign of bixby. I doubt whether Samsung India is aware of bixby voice assistant.

Any news in AU?

It's said that Australia would receive the 4.1 OTA on July,19th 13:00(Australia Eastern Standard Time).(it's about half hour ago)
Is there anyone in Australia get OTA now?
Could anyone upload this OTA update pack?
thx...
There's a massive thread a few topics down. Just check in there. Once someone gets it, it'll more than likely go there. A quick search could have easily answered your question.
I heard in Australia, the toilet flushes counterclockwise.

Nothing for me yet. Been clearing framework data and doing the *#*#checkin#*#* every now and then since 1pm, but still no update for me. Haven't seen any reports of anyone receiving the update either.

from Vodafone AU blog...
Hi Guys,
Well I thought today was going to Jelly Bean in OZ, but it has been halted.
From Vodafone Australia Blog;
"Important news
We’ve just been advised that due to a software issue, the roll-out the of Android 4.1 Jelly Bean update to Vodafone Australia customers has been delayed.
It’s been advised the software currently does not meet all the Australian regulatory requirements related to emergency calls.
At this stage, we don’t have any further information on when the roll-out will resume, but as soon as we do, we’ll let you know here on the blog.
We thank you for your understanding and appreciate your patience at this time."
emergency calls? dialing doesn't work?i bet dialling does, the problem is probably call from the lockscreen. like if u never made an emergency call from the lockscreen or anywhere other than the dialer. that regulation is ridiculous, just like the political parties, no offence (to the regulation).

It actually does turn counterclockwise but not the toilet. Cause over there their toilet doesn't flush in a circular motion, they flush straight down. Amazing...and they have huge rabbits Oh wait...they are kangourou's and on top of that they get OTA before us !!
Closed, there is a HUGE JB thread, use that.

Regions without camera shutter sound

Hi there,
Hope this is the right place to ask a question like this, and I have seen it passing by a few times without any proper answer.
The idea is to get a list of regions where the camera shutter sound is not prohibited.
Myself always very annoyed by all the work arounds etc and would like to flash a firmware that just included the option as in I believe the US firmware. (Not flashing this because I have the feeling it might not work properly in Europe? Or always stuck on a provider).
Thanks in advance.
There is none. But if you silent the phone the shutter is also silent...

I am positive the czech republic for example has the option.
I am aware of the options as just silence the phone, but feel this is an annoyance to do every time.
Thanks for replying though.

Bixby button working?

Has anybody tried remapping their Bixby button since Samsung announced they were going to disable the ability to do this?
I tried the remapping the bixby button on a demo unit last week and it worked awesome. I used BXactions:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jamworks.bxactions
If it's working for you on a model you bought (not a store demo) what's your carrier?
I got an OTA update right after the first setup, now I cannot remap it. I bought it from 1&1 which is a German provider.

After the update I couldn't. I just disabled bixby. I don't use any virtual assistants anyways. Now if I accidentally click the button it doesn't do anything

Package Disabler Pro. They'll probably want to ban this app now.
I remapped mine, no update on TMobile yet so it's still working.
I'm using the All in one Gestrures method

Yeap that's what I used, and I hope that doesn't happen lol
Mine is still possible to remap, Belgian model
Can it be remapped as a flashlight button?
IR Blaster for my Nikon D3300 DSLR would have been perfect!!
Of course Samsung knows whats best for us. Just notice the thing still has IR "transmitter" for proximity sensor
Used Bixbyremap from the store still working on T-Mobile s8+
Remapped mine on T-Mobile too. Used Package Disabler Pro to disable Bixby and most of the T-Mobile apps.
Actually new update was pushed to me couple hours ago and that disable the remapping on T-Mobile

Bixby Update Not Working

Hey guys.
I am from Portugal and realize that Bixby is not available in Portuguese. My phone is set up for U.S. English just because of this and better Google assistant as well.
What I don't understand is that the update I just did mentions that Bixby voice is active in US English now buy I have no command for it for some reason. Any info on this?

Bixby voice uk

Hi people just thought i would see how you are getting on with Bixby voice.
I'm liking it so far but there are a few hick ups like when i say call mum it spells it as mom no matter how many times i try and say it so it can't find the contact.
It's terrible for me on my 8+ no mater what I do to try and get it to wake up using "Hi Bixby" it doesn't, it doesn't even hear me now when I try to rerecord my voice [emoji19] and I can't get it to wake up from locked using bixby without pressing the bixby button so at the moment for me it's useless [emoji19]

Bixby voice is the single most terrible voice control app I've ever had the misfortune to use. You would think it would equal google voice at least. But no, it's utter ****e.
