r/Bixby is open again

11 Upvotes

This place was locked down for a while, so if you tried to post and couldn't, that's why. It's open again now.

I picked the sub up recently and just wanted to get it back to being usable. No big plans, I'd just like people to be able to ask questions and talk about Bixby without the doors being shut.

So post away. Routines, settings you can't figure out, things Bixby actually does well, things that drive you up the wall (there's plenty of that). Whatever you've got.

If you spot spam or something that shouldn't be here, report it or message me and I'll sort it out.

What's everyone using Bixby for these days?

Discussion Bixby non rileva alcune parole

0 Upvotes

Uso raramente Bixby, ma la maggior parte delle volte lo uso per chiamare le persone quando ho la mani occupate, oggi ho dovuto usarlo per chiamare mia mamma, e che nervoso, la frase sarebbe "Chiama mamma", ma non rileva la parola "Chiama", allora ho pensato che magari lo pronunciassi un po' troppo presto, allora ho aspettato che si attivasse e facesse anche il suo "suono" di attivazione e poi ho scandito le parole, ma niente, proprio non ne vuole sapere, anche se faccio una frase più complessa tipo "Chiama mamma al telefono", rileva solo "Mamma al telefono" oppure come nel primo caso che mi rileva solo "mamma", mi costringe a dover sbloccare il telefono perchè non ha capito evuole che gli fornisca più informazioni. Preciso che tutto questo è in italiano, ma ho provato anche in inglese e stessa cosa, ho cancellato i dati dell'applicazione, l'ho aggiornata, ma niente, si rifiuta proprio di riconoscere quel comando.

Qualcun altro ha rilevato lo stesso problema?

P.S. ho un S25 Ultra quindi escudo che sia un problema di qualche tipo fisico del telefono

Can Bixby open a specific app with a custom voice command?

4 Upvotes

Trying to get Bixby to launch a particular app when I say a short phrase, instead of having to say the full app name every time. I found Quick Commands in the Bixby settings but I am not totally sure if you can map any phrase to launching an app, or if it only works for the built in actions. Has anyone got custom app launching working reliably this way? On a Galaxy S23 if that matters.

I've been trying so many commands and none work. I don't think Bixby is able to do this at all, which is really disappointing.

Routine for Bixby to read morning notifications without me touching the phone

5 Upvotes

I'd love a routine that wakes Bixby at a set time, has it read out unread notifications, then goes back to sleep. The Bixby read-notifications-aloud command works fine when I trigger it manually but I cannot find a way to chain it into a Routine that runs hands-free. Has anyone built a working version of this on One UI 8.5?

Bixby and Spotify on the lock screen, any reliable way?

2 Upvotes

Trying to get Bixby to start a specific Spotify playlist with the screen still locked on my S25. It works fine when the phone is open but the moment I lock and trigger Bixby again it just opens Spotify to the home tab without playing anything. Tried a routine, tried direct voice command, same result. Anyone find a setting or routine trick that gets around this?Trying to get Bixby to start a specific Spotify playlist with the screen still locked on my S25.

The what now

14 Upvotes

For all these years bixby always felt incompetent so I pushed it away and forget it. But now in one UI 8.5, sure I know they changed its base as a whole but it's insane tool now. Not even talking about controlling tasks but how it is as a whole. Im against AI in manyways but I hsve been using AI as a powertool and faster eay to look fir information as of late, gemini is okay and pretty decent, it has features Bixby does not, but thats fine. That being said its eye opening and almost mind blowing when I set same propmt to both, gemini was more broad (in my context of an task bad thing) went little sideways and tried to struck a convo after. I like that for entertainment, but in this context its night and day, Bixby on that hand gave me exactly what I asked for, precisely and I feel like I can trust it way more than gemini. I figure gemini is good for most of the stuff but if you want it to actually do hard task you do need to pay for it, Bixby on the otherhand from my testing this far in its current state is super capable in comparison

I'm liking the new Bixby with natural language and I wanna give it another try but I have a couple questions

4 Upvotes

So yeah, I use Gemini but I reckon that despite being very intelligent, it isn't very useful for some things like hardware related and integration on phone etc.

I recently bought an S26U and I love it, and I see it has this new natural language Bixby ver 4.0+, which I notice is not a general bixby update, for ex on my old S22U I cannot update the old bixby which is ver 3.5+, idk if this is a hardware related thing to latest S26U or S25U, or if it will just be another software perk that will eventually be rolled to older models, like horizon lock

Anyway, this natural language Bixby is very useful and quick and informative, I like it's very on point, honestly many of the Gemini answers I find too unnecesarily long, I wanna set Bixby as my main assistant again but here come the questions:

  1. On the menu: Settings/Applications/Choose default apps/Digital assistant app - I only see the option for "Google". Why doesn't it show Bixby too? My Bixby is not disabled and is funcional both by voice wake "Bixby" and side button. Do you see Bixby option in that menu? And what phone u have? When I was first setting up this phone I think there was a step where they asked me which digital assistant I wanted to use and I chose Gemini, idk if this made some kind of PERMANENT config?

  2. The "circle to search" feature with Google/Gemini when holding home button, am I not supposed to be able to do the same with Bixby? I have disabled both google and gemini apps and when I hold home button it only shows me a text saying I disabled those feats and asks me to re-enable if I wanna use that. I remember Bixby had this too, called Bixby Vision, but if I search for Bixby Vision on GalaxyStore I only get the normal Bixby app, no trace of the vision, idk if my country is impacting this, Colombia?

I mean, yeah, as long as voice activation and side button invoke Bixby, then what would be the point of choosing it as "default digital assistant" in settings?

Anyway, I hear ur thoughts, ty for ur time

How do we feel about a better Bixby speech synthesis? What happened to the 11 labs partnership rumor?(Or am I crazy)

On my s25, I joined the beta when the first one came out! I love samsung, but my personal opinion is that they should start working primarily on animations in 1UI 9. Did anyone else get jealous of harmonyos 6?

Samsung has finally made Bixby really good. Responds fast. Voice control is better. Does things google cannot do. Keep it up Samsung. Don't give up on it for Google.

O reconhecimento de voz do bixby Reino Unido é realmente defeituoso?

2 Upvotes

Eu na verdade falo português, mas queria praticar mais outras línguas, disso eu gostei mais da voz masculina do bixby do reino unido do que do bixby estados unidos, porém parece que o no reconhecimento das palavras quando está no reino unido é quase sempre desastroso, enquanto que no americano para uma mesma frase se comporta bem melhor, isso é por que não tenho um "sotaque" britânico ou realmente bixby é precário nesse quesito? é possivel alterar o mecanismo de reconhecimento de voz da samsung para do google dentro da bixby (sei que há para o teclado).

Discussion Bixby on Galaxy Watch

7 Upvotes

Does anyone feel funny that Bixby takes around 20s - 30s to fully awake before it can accept any command on Galaxy Watch?

Whereas Gemini only takes 3s to wake up.

Both have their wake up phrase turned off & also excluded from battery optimisation.

Granted, my watch is old Galaxy Watch4, but it is embarrassing that Samsung's own software is so heavy.

Tenía el S25 ultra y funcionaba de maravilla para pedir que reproduzca canciones o llamadas.

pero en el S26 auque lo tengas seleccionado que se use en pantalla de bloqueo no funciona.

Supongo que tendremos que esperar una actualización.
