I know I'm not really giving Bixby a chance here. Who knows, maybe I'll like it (probably not). With that said, I just saw this today. You can remap the Bixby Button Here.
yea i saw the youtube video. I know it would only be a matter of time. Now to see what i will map it to.
Oh, thank gods. I never use these "assistants". Honestly, I feel very stupid talking AT my device. I can just as happily type and not have the entire world know I'm an incredible nerd who thinks it's cool to order diapers in public.

Ha. Fantastic. Its an infinite loop.
The all in one gestures app disabled the quick camera launch on my s7 by double pressing the home button, seems like it doesn't have a double tap action, wonder if it'll do the same on the s8.

I used to be the same way, but now I use it daily while driving. Android auto reading and able to speak reply to my messages it pretty amazing.
Someone Released one that works only to remap the bixby. So there's 2 options to remap.

Plus from the video, it supposed to be faster.

Then don't update the phone, either way this remap only works with the screen on. With the screen off nothing happens.

I'm unrooted...I have a question. During the day in the office, my TB screen is clear and bright, however when I walk outdoors...(smoke break), the screen tends to get much darker and almost unreadable. Is there a setting somewhere to solve this?

I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not. If you're not, my apologies. Its just the LCD screen. Take any device out in direct sunlight and viewing the screen is difficult. There aren't any fixes or settings. Sorry.

Linux USB tethering?
Ok, this is my first post, but I have been lurking for a while (eris, now TB).
Has anyone been able to get the HTC built-in "internet connection mode" tethering to work on Linux? Using Ubuntu 10.04, Network Manager recognizes the phone as a modem, but can't connect to anything. Nothing in the browser, can't even ping by IP. I know there is a driver/HTC sync software it uses on windows - is there any way to make this work in Linux? Perhaps using ndiswrapper?
I've googled my fingers off and can't find anything related.

No, not yet at least. Give everyone time after the bootloader's properly unlocked and CM and others' work will most likely open this option for you.
I'm unaware of any apps that would do this for you.
As far as I know the dev of this app:
https://market.android.com/details?...51bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5wb2tlNjQ3MzgudXNiam95Il0.
is working on something like that. In his forum he wrote that its already working, but he needs to finish up the interface to configure it and it needs some more testing. That was last week.

Best phone EVER. Nothing to complain about. Solid build quality, awesome screen, speaker is excellent. Love the ripple unlock. S Voice is a little hit and miss and is missing the cheekiness of the iPhone. But overall solid!
Quality phone and I think if Sammy hadn't been brave and recalled pebble blue before release this thread could have been busy but that's the beauty

no that was a TW option and only found in GB based roms. ICS has yet to have this option and idk if it ever will unless a dev can add it back in some how
ok so I'll brave it... I am a little disappointed.
S-Voice seems to love working when I'm by myself, but nooooo when someone else is around, it refuses to come to life.
But apart from that, this phone is a beauty.
One thing that's bothered me about samsung phones is the 1+ second lag between pressing home and power for screenshot.
I'm kind of ashamed of this because my brother's old iphone4s instantaneously takes screenshots.
Is there some manual way to change the amount of seconds it takes for it to register a screenshot? Or a mod?
Thanks!?

You'd have to adapt this method a little due to having a newer version of android, obviously, but:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s2/general/fix-decrease-ics-screenshot-action-delay-t1630469
is the only thing I could find on short notice.
Seems like a PITA. I'd be more inclined to use a 3rd party screenshot app that lets you choose different methods to enable the screenshot that are instant or that allow changing of the delay if it's that big of a deal.

Sorry man. Never thought of it as an issue before. Other than editing the stuff like mentioned from the thread I linked to, I guess you'll just have to live with it and take solace in the fact that your phone is 10 times better than the iPhone in most every other useful way.

nope just clarifying video lockscreen has been around, and sooner or later, there will be an agreement.
I can at least confirm that the video backgrounds in the Galaxy Apps store only appeared after the June update. Never saw them before that on my Note 8.
Looking further, it appears there are three different types of "moving pictures" wallpaper:
- Animated (Still image with some moving objects)
- Motion (Appearance changes when you tilt the phone left & right)
- Video (Plays up to 15 seconds of video on the lock screen).
We've had the Animated and Motion wallpapers since launch (or at least well before now), but the 15 second video wallpapers IS new, and that's the feature that was first seen on the S9.
So, before you "ASSume" the writers of the article didn't know what they were talking about with this feature being new to the Note 8, maybe you might want to try being more polite in your choice of words when you're confused about something; lest it leave you with egg on your face.

Once you have the June update you're good to go. Either search for video wallpapers in the Samsung Theme store, or find a video in your gallery, tap the 3-dot menu, then select "Set As Wallpaper" I believe.
