I know it's a work in progress but 90% of the time using Bixby or any other voice assistant takes more time than just performing the action on your own. I use Google assistant often but only to search the internet or send a long text using voice to text. I'll admit that it is cool that these assistants have gotten to a point where you can ask them to do multiple things or specific things in an app but again in most cases it's not saving any time because it was already very simple to do on your own. These often end up being more of a parlor trick than anything actually useful or time-saving. That will certainly eventually change and I guess these are just the baby steps to getting there. I'm still waiting for a digital assistant that can actually read an article aloud to me because I often like to read articles while at lunch but find it difficult using my hands to eat while scrolling and reading. To me that would actually be a huge help that I would use often.
Ryan Peters Good for do things when your hands are busy. Or you are too lazy and tired To pick up the Phone and do something 😁 . But it's very useful for old people or someone who is lost with all settings and all stuffs into the Phone.
Bixby has never once saved me time. In fact, it has cost me quite a bit. It has made using the S8 so painful that I now dedicate quite a bit of time to complaining about it. When complaining in-person, I always demonstrate at least once. I haven't one found myself saying "oh, wow it actually worked." In fact, Bixby is perhaps the worst excuse for an artificial intelligence that I've ever encountered - if it had even a remote clue, it would pick up on the many obscenities that I yell at it and either delete itself or stop loading when I press the Bixby button. To date, it has not done either. The day it did that is the day I can label it "intelligent."
Evan Doucet I've been using my iPhone 7 plus since last October and it is pretty damn good. After seeing all of the most recent information on Bixby I can't wait to get my new Note 8 and start trying it out for myself.
I was apart of Bixby's voice beta team, so I've had the opportunity to play with Bixby voice for some time now. I really wish Bixby would incorporate more 3rd assistance apps, like Verizon messaging instead of Samsung. I'm always open to watching tutorials to enhance my bixby skills and level up. Terrific job Ricky!!!
i almost never make comments, but i so appreciate your vids on the note 8, very informative, and the way you present the info.. top notch. keep up the good work. thanks and hope your making something off this cuz you should be.
Sodium Hydroxide If u get adept at it, then there's no difference and no he's no noob at editing so I don't think it can ever take that long....it's just like taking a pic with someone's arm/fingers just entering the extreme end of the frame...u can decide to crop later or just take a new one.......except in case of blurring out, 1 seems more professional and u know that no matter what, no weirdo who checks frame by frame when stuff like that happens will see anything...and the're no risk of anything showing like it does with a palm......reasons are pretty simple really and it's just one of those little things that add a nice touch to vidz.....
Very funny: you turn the flashlight on with Bixby: "Biggsbee" "Turn on the flashlight" But because it is so cumbersome, you turn it off with 1 swipe en 1 tick.
Man this is Awesome! I haven't ever used Bixby even though Ive used top of the line Notes and Galaxies. But my partner uses Siri and I decided to try Bixby. This video of yours just blew me away - THANK YOU! Specially, "remember where I parked", and "optimize". Maybe you should do a 2021 version for the latest version of Bixby with latest models.
All phones harvest your usage via your manufacturer AND your service provider. We are all paying for our own leashes like good lil sheeple. May as well use the features if you're using the phone.
I like that it isnt important anymore to say always "hi bixby" - now its enough to say "bixby" - thats cool. Another cool thing would be : if you can rename "bixby" to another name, and teach it to bixby ... That would be great, and cant be so hard to make - only needs a replace for a word with the same function (and said it maybe 5 times, to teach it)
@@Kyo-uz1zi No it wouldn't because they would still market it as bixby and the average person wouldn't dig through settings to change it. That's why you can rename alexa and google assistant.
Great tips. I've been using Bixby since beta and the latest update is a great improvement. I use Bixby way more than I thought I would. When you link a bunch of commands together and just let her go it seems far simpler then going to settings, then going to gallery, then opening Facebook, yada, yada. One question, sometimes she turns on, usually while in the car listening to talk radio, and starts typing everything she hears. Is there an option to have her only respond to my voice?
I needed to put playback speed on 1.5 due to the slow talking and rapid disinterest, no offence intended. Just slight advice prehaps speak a little quicker and slightly more engaging...peak and flows of conversation might help
the shortcuts are awesome. Instead of "attach the last picture from my screenshot album" (while in the messaging app) I made a quick command by saying "attach my last screenshot"
Ricky- I just bought a Sam S8 Note and didn't have a clue what Bixby was. You provided me with a good foundation and hints. Now, I'm ready to move forward to learn more features of this complicated phone and its features. Thanks so much. vetx2
Hi! Thanks for your videos! I just bought a Fitbit versa on Friday. It completely went dead and my fiance returned it and got me the Samsung active. It's way more than anything I've ever dreamed of! It's beautiful, sturdy,nhas a ton more features and all around better. The Fitbit was plastic, way tonight, felt and looked cheap, died right away even though we tried to factory and hard reset it. The charger sucks, it wouldn't pair and syncing wouldn't work, it lagged and was super slow. I'm happy this happened and I upgraded.
Because an LG depreciates at twice the speed of light, and it'll be bricked in about the next 12 and a half minutes or so, and you'll want to have an idea of what you may want to replace your ugLyG G6...6...6 with ...! 👿
That's funny that some contact information was covered up by his hand but he left the youtube site with the giant words PUBIC HAIR available for everyone to see.
Thanks for this! I haven't tried using bixby and been a Samsung user since forever. For appointments and reminder, does it just use a regular alarm reminder or voice reminder?
My microwave door handle broke down. A friend with Note 8 took a picture of the microwave and instantly revealed the model number that enabled me to go and get the replacement part from the store. Second, he took a picture of a page of a book and Bixby converted it to Microsoft word and opened a lot of very convenient possibilities for me who does a lot of writing white papers. These to me should get two slots in the 10 best features of Samsung Bixby.
Oh wow. Can't wait. I love the optimise now and also the shortcut commands as I pretty much visit the same websites daily and also open the same news apps. To be able to ask bixby to give me the weather and news as soon as I wake without having to pick up the phone is magic. I just wonder how long before we see this in Australia?
JimmyB C I upgraded from the s7 to the s8+ and it's worth it's. Everything is better on it. Now this is my honest opinion since I use my phone for a lot of stuff. Not just for social media.
Isela Guerrero Yea I heard a lot of good reviews.. currently an iPhone user, only issue is missing FaceTime and being green in other iPhone users phone
I went from an iPhone 4s to S6 Edge and now S8. I am impressed with Bixby after using siri and sound hound. If you have a S7 currently, the upgrades and improvements probably aren't enough to justify the jump but if you're like me, I hold on to tech 2-3years then get the latest and greatest possible.
Hi, I have a question, how can I set Bixby voice to just "Bixby" instead of "Hi Bixby" I saw you wake her up with just the name, I have a Galaxy note 9. Any help will be appreciated...
Question, not relating to this video. On your video the 10 features for note 8. You showed how to go straight to grayscale. On my note 8 I don't have a grayscale, so how come I don't have grayscale and how can I get it? Loving the videos and glad I found them
I've noticed all of the lesser known RU-vidrs are reviewing Bixby, while the popular youtubers Down talked it when it 1st came out in Beta. Now it's be coming event that this is a top a.i assistant
Great information thanks for sharing.. I have the Galaxy S10. the function that I like the most from Bixby was the Unlocked with Voice password , Unfortunately the S10 doesn't have it .. unless I don't know where to find it.
It was great to show features. Would have been better if it showed how to apply in settings to get these features to work properly. Having a hard time finding this information.
Thanks for the helpful video. I can't seem to use Bixby to navigate to a destination. Am I doing something wrong or doesn't it have this functionality?
Google MAPS, and therefore Google assistant, is the absolute, hands down, no holds barred, BEST way to get to a certain destination. PERIOD. Even after you know where you are going (like the 358th time you are driving home from work), it is still a good idea to check the MAPS app first. It could be, as happened to me both Tuesday and Wednesday, that an accident or other severe slow down on the interstate or somewhere else along your usual route is making it so you would do better to go another way. The Google MAPS app can not only tell you that there is a bad slow down and what would be a good alternate route, it can even tell you exactly how much longer it is currently estimated to take if you went your usual route, and it can tell you how long you should expect your new route to take (as well as any and all of the choices it gives you for a new route). This lets you decide if the time saved is going to be worth it to you--especially if it means you can't stop at the grocery store on the way home. It is a GREAT app, and I should probably mention that if you tell it what grocery store you usually use and/or what you are looking to be able to get on the way home, Google MAPS can find you an alternative like licketty split.
I have the Note 8 and I'm loving it right now. Initially I got it because it was the latest phone with bells and whistles and I wanted something shiny for Christmas but since getting it I have realised how useful some of the features are including this Bixby. Thanks for the video I'm going to check out more of your videos and subscribe to you very helpful I liked the optimising feature the best because sometimes you can't always remember how to get into the features you know where is it on my phone blah blah blah so this makes it super quick and easy to do and it's something that I'll definitely be using so thanks again for that. I wasn't too sure on the safe mode though, I mean once you turned on the safe mode and realise you had a problem that was clear but then so there is a problem what should be done from that point. Anyway that's just rhetorical at this moment anyway. But definitely going to check out more of your videos later but signing off now to optimise my phone lol
So this means that our phones mic is pretty much on all the time and is most likely listening/recording every single conversation/thing that we say. We know Samsung came out about them having and using the cameras on their smart TVs to watch/record everyone with them. So I would definitely not be surprised if they were recording us through or phones audio and camera actually as well. Considering that we have to give up all access to everything on our phone just to be able to use it or certain apps....
That was a good video. I bought a used Samsung S9+ but returned it because of poor phone call audio. I replaced it with another phone of the same model but now I can't get my phone to wake me up with a nice greeting that tells me the weather forecast. Can you tell me how to get it please as I miss it?
Right?! My snarky side will probably always think of Ricky as Rigsby when viewing his vids now. Still a great video though, despite the lazy pronunciation.
Oh wow! These are the best features! No wonder why 99% of the users want to just disable bixby completely. To me - it is a waste of hardware button and a waste of code. Shame on Samsung for not letting users neither to remap this button, nor to disable. I put a thumb up for the video though. Thanks for your effort
The RU-vid Tech Guy I presently use Nova Prime as well and love it. I pre-ordered Note 8 and looking forward to getting back my Spen. However, I am mildly concerned with 1 thing. I use "Ok Google" to wake up and unlock my phone. I read conflicting information. Some say it still works with the correct settings. Others say the Google Assistant will work everywhere, but to wake up and unlock your phone. I hope I will still be able to use it to wake up and unlock specifically in the car. If not, I guess a consolation would be to use another method. I was hoping with the right settings and Nova Prime it will work. I would appreciate it if you could left me know if it works and if not, a potential work around. Also any features that don't work with Nova? I know with the Note 7 you couldn't pin. Can you with the Note 8 and Nova, live message of any others. I hope everything works. Please let me know at your earliest convenience. Thanks a lot. I really appreciate your videos.
