New update lets you fully disable the Bixby button on your Samsung phone

Previously if you disabled the key it would still wake up your device.

    This is Samsung . Brings new features, apps and users don't use it or like it. Pathetic company. Seems they don't value their own decisions. And Samsung fans shouts how good is Samsung phones and it's hardware. But users like us know most of their stuff in phone useless , mimic to iOS app, poor implementation and terrible user experience.

        Finally... But I thought remapping was samsung's fans dream

          Only assistant that got ditched from my Exynos Note 8 is the scroogle assistant. Only Bixby and Google Voice search remain on my Note 8, thanks to the home launcher app from the Play Store.

          Love Bixby's chain of commands with a simple phrase:
          https://youtu.be/kAaA9w_VY_8

          With something as simple as "I'm driving", I can do ALL of the following:

          - Enable Bixby voice wake up
          - Set location accuracy to high
          - Play my preset music playlist
          - Open the Car Mode app
          - etc.

          And when I arrive, a simple "I've arrived" command sets everything back to battery preserving mode and exits car mode.

          Bixby is simply the most versatile voice assistant.

                  I actually like bixby now. Much better than when released. Still, I like Google.

                    Now, make it remappable. Camera launch and then acts as a shutter button would be sweet.

                      Or at least make additional functions like torch button or play/pause button etc.

                            Can you remap the button? If you can only disable and not remap, that seems childish of Samsung!

                                Anonymous, 03 Nov 2017Now they have physical bugs..smhEvidently, you do not have a note 8, the button is there for any user who likes it or find it useful, now samsung gives the option to disable it if you wish to, there is no bug as you say, read an inform yourself before posting non sense half baked ignorant comments

                                  Shouldn’t this mean Samsung owes us a few dollars now, since this button is worthless and wasn’t needed in the first place....
