What's your problem in not using that?
Samsung Pass? Samsung apps? Samsung backup?
all are important sometimes....
Alien, 01 Mar 2019Ummm, you don't need no update from Samsung to disable Bixby. Just install adb on your pc and ... moreYup. And you should mention that people needs to (temporarily) enable usb-debugging, first. And that there are few more bixby packages with more obscure names
ADB shell pm disable-user com.samsung.android.visionintelligence
ADB shell pm disable-user com.samsung.android.app.spage
And that due to a completely crazy thing disabling does not STOP them (yes!!)
We need to do that manually by repeating all the above commands and replace 'pm disable-user' with 'am force-stop' .
Cumbersome but possible...
AnonD-794217, 01 Mar 2019Since when phones before S8 had Bixby button? -_-I thought stupidity is the thing of the past, but it's surprisingg to see how you brought that up again in this period of time
I wish they could've done it a little bit sooner, but nonetheless great decision by Samsung. This shows that not only they make top-notch flagships every year but also they are also listening to customers and making necessary changes to their products.
Ummm, you don't need no update from Samsung to disable Bixby. Just install adb on your pc and type:
adb shell pm list packages - e | grep bixby
(this will look for all enabled packages that contain the name bixby. I believe there's one more bixby app that doesn't have the name in it. You'll have to find that one too.
To disable:
adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.package.example
(replace com.package.example with the results from the first command. one by one, not all at once :) )
Done! :)
To enable back:
adb shell pm enable --user 0 com.package.example
Just use your brain people!
But you can not select Google Assistant. It is hidden in the app selection screen.
Cool! Kudos to Samsung! Unlike Apple, everything has to be done by the way Tim Cooks wants you to.
is this rolled out to a certain country or no?
Shanti Dope, 28 Feb 2019Oh goodness thank God! I kept on pressing the Bixby button on my S6 Edge all the time -_-Yeay.. But unfortunately I already disable it before the update arrived.. All you need to do is thrown your s6 edge to the brick wall as hard as you can.. It will definitely disable it forever.
I hope Google and his partner do the same thing. A music / video key or camera button, BB Hub button are more useful than dedicated google assistance anyways.
KenPH, 01 Mar 2019There is no Bixby button on the Galaxy s6 edgeThat was the joke genius.
Shanti Dope, 28 Feb 2019Oh goodness thank God! I kept on pressing the Bixby button on my S6 Edge all the time -_-There is no Bixby button on the Galaxy s6 edge
They gave you remap into another bixby choice, but not freedom choice *sigh shamesung

If you go in settings, apps and then open all bixby apps, find memory and selecet clear data + clear cache. It will reset bixby like its new device, after that only long press turns bixby.

If this can be mapped to turn on the flashlight without waking up the phone, I'll be stoked.
