Ok as ppl might know they are getting updates for a fully working Bixby. Question is... If I am in France or U.K for that.. and I of course speak 'Merican' English , Is it possbile to install this update via apk. Or for that matter can I flash a US varient in Odin and get this update. If so on that, if I do flash a US csc will my sim card still be fully functional?
And it still does nothing more then it did a moth ago for me. I got the updates today. It loaded a whole crap ton of new bixby apps. I press the button, and... I get the same set of cards, with no voice options at all. In settings, Nothing about voice either. I cleared data for bixby, and it setup again, but nothing new at all that way either.
Not interested in Bixby one little bit. Have disabled all of it with Package Disabler Pro.

I read some where that these are all the updates needed for bixby but we need to wait for Samsung to turn Bixby on, on the server side.

I have a exynos version in the US but I can get the download packages any help?

heard a tonne of people having problem with it, as well as few who used it, say its awesome.
The new update, or rather the second new update (I got one on the 18th, then another on the 19th) makes Bixby voice work. It does what it's supposed to, and it seems very fine tuned and fast.
It's a little embarassing it took so long, but it actually works now, and does have some innovation thrown in, like the dedicated button, and the difference between short and long press. It's been so long on Android that I've had a Siri-like voice assistant, I've forgotten when to use it....
But the thing I find myself always doing, is pressing the darn home button and saying "set a time for X-number of minutes". And it swirls, and does nothing. But Bixby immediately set the timer and gave me experience points.
So far, I'm happy..... is anybody else with me?
Its not quite as polished as "ok google" but the foundation for a great assistant has been laid. Especially turning on your phone without touching it, having it open and read mail.
Don't want it, won't use it....
How can others outside of US get it??

Hello everyone!
I seem to have a big problem with my phone that I cannot figure out. I'm fairly good with phones and very good with PC, but this problem eludes me.
My Huawei H866C was working just fine yesterday until boom, system freeze. This happened numerous times and most of the time, all I was doing was looking around in the settings etc. My first gut reaction was to factory reset it.
So I did.
When it was done, the phone rebooted like it should, and there I found the "tutorial" screen.
I tap the green android and it proceeds to the next screen which has only one button labeled "Begin"
When I press begin, it immediately throws this error; The application SetupWizardEx (process com.huawei.setupwizardex) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.
Well, needless to say, I've many dozens of times with no success.
I recall a similar incident with my sisters motorola droid bionic, in which after a reset the phone wanted some carrier info before it would load the home screen and let you use the phone. With that incident, I was able to bypass it by touching all 4 corners of the touchscreen. I can't find anything like that to bypass this tutorial nonsense.
I know that the phone isn't bricked, because I never rooted it. Furthermore, I can still bring up swype keyboard settings by holding the menu softkey. From there, I can click a web link in swype help and open the browser with no wifi connectivity. I can go through browser settings, and swype settings. When I first turn the phone back on, I can even use the slide-down menu briefly before it takes away my access.
I was really starting to like this phone until now.
Is there any way to bypass this annoying tutorial so I can use the phone? Otherwise, I'm afraid my money was wasted.
I have included some fairly low quality pictures to try and illustrate my problem.
ANY help at all would be greatly appreciated.

Well admins, you may as well delete this thread. It's helped no one, including myself. I'm just going to return the phone and get my money back..

And that's exactly what I did. My best advice? STAY AWAY FROM TRACFONE/NET10/Straight Talk at ALL costs! Sure, they give you cheap unlimited everything, but the phones are pure garbage. :good:

As long as you don't select the option to allow Google to unlock your phone with your voice, this isn't an issue, nor is it's LG's problem.

Thanks for that. Maybe LG should hire you as calling them they said there was no fix and I don't remember ever turning that option on.... Going to have to test if someone elses voice can unlock it.

Exactly. This is a google issue.
This thread is so misleading, and so is the video. This can be done on all phones with the Google app on it. The setting has been there for a while. OP should at least make an edit to topic/post and/or switch the video into a PSA of sorts. Advice people on how the setting works and to give best practices like training their voice.

no doubt, trust zones keep my phone unlocked when at my home. keeps it unlock when it detects it is still on my person and hasn't changed hands, and many other trusted things you can set. turn these off and I bet he has a harder time unlocking
lol a joke.. without trusted voice my phone tells me it cannot be completed while device is locked..
ppl just never learn lol not a bypass at all
So if there's any confusion, it only works with what Google detects as your voice. I tested with multiple family members, and only one got it.
But he's my identical twin and our voices are almost the same.
Can someone else try having their SO or a buddy try to get in? Pretty sure they won't.
I contacted samsung today to see if see when the Bixby voice beta was going to be released. With no definitive answers I did hear it should be out today, June 21st. The Official release as confirmed by Samsung is to be by the end of this month, June. I was even told a specific date of June 28th. I know a lot of people do not like Bixby and the button and we already have Google Assistant and whatever, but from everything I have seen, Bixby voice is supposed to do the most and be the best. I do believe that it should be out by then. If you dont believe me, call Samsung Support or contact then via text chat. All give the same answer. Here is a screen shot of my chat I had.

EDIT: Bixby voice early access has started to roll out to the 10,000 people that have signed up. This is a server side update so don't expect any APKs. No emails have gone out explaining it. It just showed up in Bixby Home. From my time using it so far it actually seems really good. It has been getting better as I use it. It is, in my opinion, better than Siri. Expect the official US English release very soon. The english release is ONLY FOR THE US!!! Do not expect this in any other country yet. They are trying quickly to get this rolled out to as many countries with as many languages as possible.
I actually have the bixby voice icon on bixby today. I have not tested it yet but it was definitely not there yesterday.
Bixby voice beta is activated for me as of like an hour ago. Check out the app and hit the voice icon.
Tbh I'm not sure I'll use it ever/much as these voice things are a bit too much of a novelty for me, but it does seem to work quite well so far (although I'm in a relatively quiet office).
It's up! It's fairly polished for a beta
I'm going to whip up a quick app to bypass Bixby Voice and launch Google voice search instead (can't launch Assistant from third-party apps without root, sorry). Anyone with Bixby Voice want to test for me? Message me on hangouts at [email protected].
Check the "Device Assistance App" settings under Default Apps.

not there. They left it open for google assistant
To be honest, I was sceptical about bixby, but the bixby screen turned out more useful to me than Google Assistant, so I'm keeping it for now.
After seeing first reviews of bixby voice the fact Samsung has full system access to the phone makes a huge difference in what it can do. It looks rather useful.
Only problem: not here in Germany :crying: it'd be great if Samsung allowed other countries with the caviat that it's English only. I'd be fine with that... If any other release is anything to go by, we'll get it in 3 years when we've all moved on to new phones.

you need to wait for the official release. It is officially out unless you signed up for the beta. If you signed up for the beta you can sign open Bixby home and click the Bixby icon next to the Bixby vision icon.
Its pretty unusable at the moment in my experience - you have to word your phrases pretty exactly, and it's recognition takes at least twice as long as that of google. I've no doubt it will get better, but I even remember my Moto X being more functional and quicker to recognize my commands.
I am in the Bixby Beta and after that my camera no longer has the shutter sound option in which it should for being in the US. My wife who also has the S8+ and same camera version 7.0.75 does have the camera shutter sound option. Why do I want to silence shutter sound you ask? Well my dog is a complete weirdo and when I use the camera and he hears it he goes nuts for awhile barking. I could get rid of the dog but getting the option back seems much easier.
In another thread about the camera, a user said he was in the beta and had the option and nothing beyond that. Support in Bixby said there is no getting out of the Beta like google and said I might be able to delete my Samsung account and make a new one fixing the issue. I don't really want to do this as I am embarrassed to say, I have paid for some Samsung themes (Yes I know) and I would lose them if I re-create a Samsung account.
Has anyone reverted away from the Bixby beta successfully and if so how? Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks!

Wanted to add my wife is not in the Beta for Bixby and has the shutter option at the bottom of camera settings.
I have the option and I am on Bixby beta. I didn't do anything and I believe it has nothing to do with Bixby beta. I am on the same Camera version as your wife. Have you tried clearing your cameras data?

I reset my whole phone and no longer have the issue. While I believe it was caused by the beta, I am no longer having the issue on the beta.
Thanks for the feedback.

On new update 12.1.1.0: Android Auto is not working. Just a black screen. I tried re-installing the app. Android Auto was previously working for me (but would never launch apps like Spotify and TuneIn radio, had to start on my phone screen)
How to turn off the chat bubbles? I am using Textra SMS app.

I have the same issues with Android Auto. Tried everything I can think of including playing with permissions, Usb debugging and even hard resetting the phone post update to 12.1.1...however nothing works. I hope Xiaomi will push an update otherwise might have to get another phone.
Ah, I started a new thread on another subforum, I should have followed up with this one, do any of you get this strange popup too?

No I'm not getting that popup. First time using AA too it asks if I wanted to use this USB device for AA, I press yes, but still doesn't work.
Decided to sell the 10 Ultra and get a Fold 2 instead. Lesson learned.

Right? I'm probably selling for OnePlus 9 pro. It especially sucks that no native Chinese/Global phones get good 4G or 5G in USA due to no support for band carrier aggregation.
