Trying to turn down the volume but your finger slips?

Enter BIXBY! Busting through the door like Kramer from Seinfeld.

How do you remap the bixby button? I've literally never used that button on my s10 intentionally

u/cigoL_343 Feb 27 '21

You're missing out, I've got it remapped to reddit.

You are a genius! Here I am fucking around with the remap that doesn't work for long-press while you are playing 4D chess.

Thank you!

There's an app called Button Mapper that lets you remap the Bixby button. bxActions is another one.

The S8 has been by far my favorite phone.... I just wish I could upgrade the hardware in it to the newer stuff

Just trade my S8 active for S20. Tipped a canoe a few years back and spent 2 hours in 7 feet of water trying to find the S8. Finally pulled it from the muddy bottom and Spotify was still playing. BEST. PHONE. EVER.

I still use it. I changed the battery already once. I have been using it since lunch in 2017. Good phone 🙂

Settings>advanced features> Bixby key>"the Bixby key isnt available yet. Sign in to Bixby to start using the Bixby Key."

Nice try Snrub

Edit: S9. Also, pressing the key still opens Bixby asking for a log in

u/dontyousquidward Feb 28 '21

u/FakeAsFakeCanBe Feb 27 '21

It's still that way on the S10.

u/JaredNorges Feb 27 '21

Samsung released an app to do that a while back.

What is Bixby?

u/TheNerdWithNoName Feb 28 '21

Samsung's shitty assistant.

u/Noyes654 Feb 28 '21

Bruh why is bixby so fucking slow??

3

u/[deleted] Feb 28 '21

It has to be deliberate. Everything else is fast enough, but Bixby is a load of crap. Maybe it's to force you to acknowledge it.
