Tablet Talk can't pick up calls

Dear friends,
I've bought the app Tablet Talk because I need an app to pick up incoming phone calls to my phone by pressing a button on the tablet, which is what this app does.
The weird thing is, only the hang down button actually does something, the mute and pick up buttons, if pressed, do absolutely nothing!
Have I wasted 4 bucks on a bugged app, or someone else had this issue and was able to solve it?
Thank you,
TD
Bump!!
Has any one else had this problem? I have the same issue and like to use this app. Any one have a fix for this?
Cheers
Sadly I still havent heard back from Tablet Talk, they wrote me in december saying that they were aware of the issue, but since then they have disappeared...

That Stipid Bixby button

It doesn't seem to do anything since an update i got yesterday on ATT. Anyone else have the same issue ?
Before the update, Bixby button was working fine. After the update, button didn't work initially. I tried enabling swipe on homescreen to activate bixby and then tried button ( I had to double click instead of single click). after that, it worked but launching bixby with button became very slow. I'm still using double click to launch and I wish they push out a new update soon.
I'm also on AT&T
I too have this problem. In my case, even two quick presses in succession fails more often than it succeeds.

Are you on AT&T as well ? I have the same problem too. Swipe on home screen works well for now. It takes about a second to load but using button IF I successfully launch bixby, it takes about 4-5 seconds to launch. Before the update, it was instantaneous.
One thing I noticed is if I disable breifing in Bixby cards, performance improved. Try and see if it works
Edit: I can confirm that after disabling breifing, bixby works well.

I am not--T-Mobile here.
Agreed: disabling the 3 cards I had running gets the double press to work reliably. However, doesn't that defeat the purpose of Bixby (what little there is right now)?
Double tab does the trick.Is new after the latest update.

oh yeah I agree. It's just a temp fix till they push update. They introduced this bug after update...so they should fix it soon
I'm also on T-Mobile and having this issue (just got my S8+ yesterday). I was going to return the phone to T-Mobile for are placement until I found this post. Now I know that I have to wait for an update to fix it as a new phone would exhibit the same problem after I did the update.
New update was push out to stop people from remapping bixiby button and stop accidental pressing of it.
So its now a double click.
Best thing is to have online chats with samsung and complain about this. If enough people do it, they will oush out an update to fix it.
Verizon here. I have noticed mine works with double clicking Bixby about 60% of the time, and 30% of the time it works with a single click. Remaining 10% being me left holding the phone staring at the home screen waiting.
The annoying bit is that it's inconsistent, so when a single click decides to work it opens and then immediately closes if I double clicked it.
Double press and wait a second or two before it decides to actually show up ?
What does Stipid mean?
Can get Bixby Remapper from Playstore. It allows remapping even after the update. It's free too.

Uh which one? I see like 4. I'm going to try this on my wife's s8. She wants it to open camera. I disabled all the Bixby crap on my s8+ and I like it that way. Samsung is as bad as the government these days with their cramming stuff down people's throats. Great phones though

The actual one named "Bixby Remapper".
utter waste of time. If this is so far off being ready they should have excluded it and added it to the note 8 or allow it to be mapped to something usable in the meantime.
Worked fine for me in the UK before the update. Now its a double tap with varying degrees of content.
yesterday I got an update on AT&T( mifhr be rhe red tint fix). Post update, bixby button is working fine
What does Bixby even do? Why use it. Google assistant is far better

A quick access to my calander, imp email, uber, S health.
Things bixby does better than google:
Good integration with work email and events from work calender, twitter also flipboard feed
Things google does better than bixby:
Google on tap and stories related to my previous search. I absolutely love google on tap, especially when tracking packages and good integration with my gmail accounts.
I don't wanna pick one over other. I like and use both of them
I click the Bixby and it takes a few seconds each time to load and refresh, no Google integration (Keep, Waze, etc...) another half baked Samsung idea they will insist on tormenting us with.

my bixby is fully functionable except for bixby voice... cant get it to work. ive seen some tutorials on youtube how to get it working with the bixby voice but honestly i couldnt be asked to do whats on the video hahaha. im using s7 edge rooted with khongloi s8 port ROM, bixby vision is also working.
Also, using the QuickShortCutMaker app I can see there is Bixby Voice activity and i can go into its settings, turn it on and that, but it doesnt wanna work on with the wake up voice command, and i havent got the bixby key so yeah. gotta live without it for now.
I'm using batman rom 1.1 with button mapper bixby voice to volume down twice.

Sorry yesterday I just move on to note 7 fe rom with non working bixby voice. So I can't really tell you which version of bixby voice. But 2 days ago I just updated it through samsung galaxy apps(really just update the whole bixby apps), means it's the newest bixby voice.
Here the link of button mapper

thanks for the button mapper, but still it says to update but there isnt any update, so i did research about this problem and im not the only having the issue. so i guess we will have to wait for some kind of update for bixby to fix it

As far as Bixby goes, none of the developers here in xda have
found a way yet to get Bixby to wake up using your voice on the
S7/S7 Edge phones.
It's very far from being anything even close to perfect.
It might be fun for the first 5 minutes but after that you
will see it was a total waste of time setting it up.
The way it works right now is by swiping the home screen to
the right side and clicking on the tiny Bixby icon or you need
to get a button re-mapper which can be set to use a long press
of the volume down of the phone and then you need to click the
Bixby icon to talk to Bixby.
It works like a very poorly designed push-to-talk walkie talkie
and it's super slow and or very laggy..
Nothing like Google Assistant. Not worth messing around with.
Please note, this is only my personal opinion which usually is
not worth very much! LOL
Good luck, Have a great day!
Bixby is working fine with me. Everything works fine except sometimes Hi Bixby is not recognized.

Bixby no longer functioning after Oreo update?

After flashing Oreo into my S8+ (SM-G955FD) Via Odin, I've noticed that my Bixby wake-up command has completely killed itself, I've also received the new update that was rolled out a day or two ago, which is what I was waiting for before posting regarding it here; I know that many do not really care about Bixby but it happened to be quite useful to me, especially because I have to set Google Assistant as my "Default Assistant App" in order for its voice commands to work unlike Bixby but that's for my own personal preference, so I've tried to clear data on every Bixby applications and re-doing all of the voice training, it didn't do the job however there is something I've noticed when I attempt to get Bixby by voice command, in the notification tray there is a notification of Bixby indicating that it's supposedly waking up (Screenshot is included.)

Whoops.
Seems like I cannot post images yet, but It's practically the new Oreo functionability which shows any applications that "display over screen".

SO DONE.
I guess nobody really cares about this but I am as desperate as ever but I guess I'll have to go on without Bixby until they give another update which I don't know how long it might take, I've talked to several Samsung support agents and all I've got from them is stupid normie solutions that'll make you question how they got the job for that position, the "turning it off and on" meme is real and so annoying because they do not understand and will not even try to understand the issue and go on with their automated solutions that probably only help old white people trying to understand technology and apparently the support fails to tell them apart, I am absolutely livid after this horrible experience with Samsung, after hours of trying to make them understand, one understood and understood it so much that he realized he cannot help me at all and said that this is so technical that I'll have to either wait for an update which may or may not fix this or literally throw away my phone aka go get it replaced under warranty which is totally absurd.
I have the same problem, bixby just wont wake up, the icon pops on notification bar then disappears. Still cant find a solution
Edit: wirdly enough i just called it and it responded everything is working well, i dont know if its because of the CRB7 update. It just worked on its own

I have done enough research on my own phone and the only moment Bixby voice has worked for me is when I reboot and keep saying "Hi Bixby" and it will suddenly work for at least 5-10minutes depending on what triggers it to not work, and I can't seem to figure what does that, because this has to do with some other software interrupting Bixby to show over screen because it's obviously reacting to you when you say Hi Bixby in the notification bar, so please let me know if it's working fine for you now regardless?
Update : Bixby Voice just received a new update 1.0.19.10, and yet it has not fixed the issue for me and I have also realized that Bixby works perfectly when in Safe mode so it could be a third-party app interfering as well.

I have fixed as it seems so far.. I started to uninstall unwanted apps to any suspicious apps, and I do not know which one but if you have any shady apps such as WPS testing app or anything related to such uninstall, anyways here is what I did; SafeMode>Settings>Device Assistant > Select none > then boot into normal > wait for Bixby to work > go into device assistant> pick Google back as assistant. That's all I did.
Okay, I was wrong after almost 24hours of using my phone with Bixby working it has suddenly again stopped working after I updated some apps on the PlaysStore, this issue seems very complex with no logic behind it, it's quite annoying..
Hi .. i have the same pb with my note 8 .. it had appeared after installed the android 8
Lets switch S8's

I honestly think your in a better situation than most.
I do not know of any one who likes BIXBY.
I do like bixby.
I'm don't seem to have any real problems with bixby on Oreo. I problem I have is try to create quick commands.
If I say "Hi Bixby" it will open,
Then I can say Open "xda" and it will open.
Now say I want to go to the subscribed threads in the app.
with the app opened, I say "Hi Bixby" go to subscribed threads. It will not do it, but with the app opened I can press the bixby key and say subscribed threads and it will go to the threads. why?

Question, did you flash all the files included in the update?
Reson i asked is because i had the same issue, i got in touch with samsung, but after getting into my phone and not fixing the issue, i remembered i had omited one of the files in the update, (i think i missunderstood a post or something), i reflashed ALL the files in the update, aparently it did not work, but then i went into apps 3 dots show system apps, from the list of apps i located ALL the Bixby apps i counted 6, got into Storage and cleared the data from all 6, i restarted, bixby and it worked.
No clue I disabled it
I finally received the Sprint Oreo update I'm having the same problem so it's probably not a problem with you flashing it. I usually use a combination of Bixby and Google Assistant.
Edit: If you wipe cache partition, it will work again but then stop.
I have the same exact problem

Google Pay Issue

Anybody else had Google Pay 'disappear' off the watch? I've noticed it launch a couple without doing so myself and then the next thing I know is that it's not there when I wanna use it.
This is rectified with a restart but it's happened twice in two weeks.
Google Pay is mapped to the customisable button and when it goes missing the button opens workouts...
I DON'T WAMMA WORK OUT, I WANNA PAY! ?

Get the Pay Enabler app off the Play Store on your watch and set that as the customisable button. Not perfect but better.
Hi guys, pay enabler doesnt fix it these days anymore. So for this my fix was to set another account for the watch, on which I ve set the first pay method to Germany. You new kind of a new account which did not have any payment method set until then. And then suddenly I could enable Google pay on the watch. Have fun!
