Bixby keeps reinstalling itself - Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers

I've Force stopped, uninstalled updates and disabled all things Bixby including global services, vision, service, etc and next morning it's all back! I noticed they have been using 43% of battery! Any thoughts greatly appreciated.

Do Not Disturb

Have any of you guys tried turning this on? When I try setting always force closes.
UPDATE: I got it working. All of the devices I had that it didn't work on. Had to factory reset. If it doesn't work do it again. If that doesn't work do it again. I got them all working, and some of them took 3 factory resets. At least they are working now.

Just gave it a quick try on mine and it works fine.
Are you using the toggle or through settings?

I tried both and they're both functioning. Tried it with alarms set and without. All working.
Mine keeps force closing on me when using settings. Thank you for checking

No problem. Maybe a factory reset?
Already tried that. So I know it isn't an app.

Works fine for me, use it every night. Did you disable anything using Package Disabler Pro?
Negative. I manually disabled some stuff like Lookout, and T-mobile stuff.

I'm having the same issue after initial setup on an ATT model too
I did a factory and still happens.

Yeah its kinda odd. My partner also received his model (ATT) and doesn't have this issue.
Can't figure it out for the life of me. I just tried 5 different edges. 3 of them crash and the other two don't. All T-mobile versions. Waiting for friend with AT&T versions to reply and see what they say.

Update 1:1 so for from my friends. One works and one doesn't.
Sent from my SM-G935T using Tapatalk
No issues here from the quick settings in the pull down menu.
Yah had to do 3 FDRS to get mine to stop crashing.
Sent from my SM-G935T using Tapatalk
same here, FC through settings but I can activate it through the toggle, I just spent 4 hours setting up the phone and don't want to factory reset lol

Random reboots after recent system update

Is any one else having issues with random reboots after the recent system update? This has happened 4 times now all under different random scenarios.

Are you using any themes, they can cause issues sometimes.

He probably disabled a bunch of apps and forgot to enable them when he updated his phone.

Did you update OTA or ODIN?
It was ota and no I didnt disable any apps. I have noticed it seems to be happening when my bluetooth is on. Oh and I dont use themes just nova.
Sent from my SM-G935T using Tapatalk
Now that I think about it I wonder if it was that night mode that nova just added. Never remember the issues before that and it was turned on right around the same time as that system update. I turned that off to see if it happens again.
Sent from my SM-G935T using Tapatalk
Turns out nova beta and or night mode was the issue. Went back to stable version and removed night mode options. No more reboots and my bluetooth works like a champ now.
Sent from my SM-G935T using Tapatalk
So you think it's night mode. I'll t that. Had 4 reboots yesterday connected to BT listening to iheart. Today i was using Google maps in the car and not only did it freeze up it reset while i was driving.

Some apps not workimg..?

Anyone having any issues with some of the apps not working..? Possible after the last update..? Both solar walk 2 and star walk 2 are NOT working now and they were after I 1st installed them. They just hang forever at the loading screen.

I haven't had any problems with this latest update on any of my apps but previously I did on one app. I cleared the cache, Uninstalled the app (different app than yours) and reinstalled it then it worked fine.

Force closures in s7 Edge.

How many times do you have a force close. Just got a couple. Normal or not normal. ??
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using Tapatalk
I get one like one every few months
Had none so far, about 3 weeks

I just reinstalled and set up phone yesterday and play store FCs today. Ocd kicks in and think the Firmware is messed up and need to Odin and start again. Am I going nuts

Mine "upgraded" as part of the "early access" program. It's useless - no matter what I ask, I get "Please wait a moment and try again."
Google doesn't give me that error message...ever.
Is it too late for me to get or register? Can i just download the apk?
Thanks in advance!

They reopened the beta. Go to this site and you should be able to sign up.

I was able to Signup for beta last night :laugh:
An update, for what it's worth: I've turned off everything I could on Bixby and Bixby Voice. Both drained by battery with no real value. I found Bixby Voice to be worthless - it couldn't figure out a thing. I don't have any trouble with Google, so it's not just me (although I did live in Texas and Massachusetts; I may have warring accents).

Pahk the cah in the garage. Y’all. (Former Masshole here)
I signed up on July 2 and just got the update yesterday.
Bixby voice and Google assistant both working now
Bixby voice constantly locked my phone up, forcing me to do a forced shutdown. I used package disabiler to freeze it. As of right now Google now is way better
Yeah, I got the early access update two days ago. I'm really trying to give Bixby a fair shot, but it has this far failed to impress. I can see where Google Assistant could learn a few things from Bixby, such as interacting with phone settings. I'd even love to have a Google Assistant button for text dictation. So far Google Assistant is much more useful. When I tell Google Assistant to take me to the nearest Starbucks, it just says OK, and goes straight to Maps and starts navigating. Bixby on the other hand will usually just give me a link to the Starbucks Wikipedia article. Very helpful :rolls eyes:
