I had the update come through 2 days ago here in Australia. I expected it to have voice but no voice yet.

Me too. Nothing new. Although it says Bixby voice, Bixby talks. But nope, it doesn't speak.

Same to u ,I think B voice will be available in the next bixby home update

I personally think just after launch
of Note 8 (next week, 23 August ? ) or somewhere close to that,
Note 8 will also have Bixby on board.
Will also be a great "selling point" for Note 8.
A fully working Bixby on board. ?...... like with us.. S8 /S8+

Remember the US had the update. Nothing worked until they turned on the servers in the region. So just was til they actually flip the switch and activate it.

You can get it working if you install the USA sodtware but i cant be bothered so i guess ill wait, kind of dumb of samsung revealing bixby voice with the s8 considering it wasnt even working

Got a software update, but nothing new on bixby no updates its same as it is before updating

One hardware switch for bixby & waiting from the months, ?

i dint get any like plm, wakeup, dictation etc
even after a software update

You have to wait until they say its available in your country, right now they are still trying to get it to understand English (Australian). Kind of stupid because its just english

Assistant

Hey, did anyone achieved google assistant on your galaxy s7? Can't get it. Beta version of google play services also does not work.
I believe we need to accept an ota for that apparently from what I've been reading.

My understanding is that it's a server side switch, no update required. I think they may have jumped the gun with the announcement last week since I've heard very few reports of assistant becoming available not only on the S7/S7 Edge, but even other marshmallow/nougat devices as of yet.
Does the region of your phone affect on receiving an update? Or only the interface language?
You can get Google Assistant by downloading Lucky Patcher and patching the Google App to have Google Assistant enabled. Fully functioning thank you to the patch modder. Give it a go! It worked for me, but I prefer Google Now as the screen search is so handy and I've become fixed to it.
Good luck and let me know if you have troubles with the app!

I tried without root. Unsuccessful. "Pattern not found! or patch is already applied?!"
Maybe because i have signed up to a beta testing of google application? Its v.6.14.14.21.arm64 now.
I'm sorry for assuming you guys had root. I believe so that it requires root to modify the odex

No need to root anymore to get assistant!
I got assistant yesterday on my stock S7!

It's not related to the version, It's server side.

Sent from my Samsung SM-G930F using XDA Labs
It's server side, per Google themselves. Reports today are that the rollout has been accelerated, but still nothing for me though there are lots more reports of folks who have gotten it last night/today.
Finally i got it.
After an update of google app XD.
Thank you.

I have it on my stock (not rooted) Verizon Wireless S7. It came over with the Nougat update, or shortly thereafter. So far I don't like it. But that is probably more about unfamiliarity than anything.

Same tbh. I also didn't like that you can no longer screen search as freely. Google Now still doing wonders for me
Sent from my SM-G930F using XDA Labs
Updated Google app and running the correct Google services framework, but no Assistant
I tried it with Google Allo and didn't like it there so not really fussed, but wonder why it hasn't activated for me
EDIT -Changed primary system language to US and it worked
Also assistant cant identify songs yet.
Thats strange. Why google can not just copy program code from google now?
Sent from my Samsung SM-G930F using XDA Labs
Yeah, i had assistant on my s7 edge but after samsung replace motherboard which obviously factory reset my phone i can't get it any more.... Beta tester for both play services and Google app....
Cleared data of both apps as well, long press invokes screen search and no assistant settings in google app....

ATT Software Update 4/21 (Breaks Bixby button remap)

Aww crap, I got the phone yesterday and got a software update pushed to my phone just now... (Build NRD90M.G950USQU1AQD9)
Bixby remap via All in one gestures worked right before the update. Now, notsomuch.
Update at your own peril.
Same for t-mobile variants as well.

It makes facial recognition much worse. Sounds like they changed it to make out harder to unlock with a picture but the end result is unlocking it with your face doesn't work as often and takes longer to unlock when it does work.
They also reorganized the full-screen apps settings page, that's all I've noticed. I'm on the +
It also makes battery drain. Fyi gotta activate once with att to get updates.. use provided sim to activate as gophone account(free) then connect to wifi and set date 3 days later and check for update

Check out "BixBye"

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=you.in.spark.bixbye
I updated my s8+ with the most recent update and I was able to remap the xda developers app to the Bixby button.
Sent from my SM-G955U using XDA-Developers Legacy app
It only works temporarily for me. It worked great the first few hours I set it up, but after that it just stops working, and Bixby comes up as normal. I've tried disabling and re-enabling the service and clearing the cache, but nothing works short of a fresh re-install.
It's still working on mine and I installed it when I put up this link.

Still works on mine. I remapped it so "Real Calculator" comes up when I hit the button.

This works great for me!! I did a video to spread the word on this cool app.
It's here if anyone is interested

Anyone get a new security update? I just went from VS9872A to VS9872AA tonight.
Me too, seems OK so far.

I'm done update from vs98727A to vs98728B with uppercut LG up, now i have an hotspot and everythings seems ok so far..
New update, December 27th, 2017. Seems harmless so far, supposedly added something new but I don't see it, maybe because I run Nova launcher?
So where is Oreo? Probably not this quarter and never for me since new phone arrives in two days.

Keys cafè problem

I was trying kets cafè, but if I go to "style your own keybord"-"effects" I don't have any effect.
Why? Any suggests?
I have problem too. I only manage to set theme but animation and key replacement not working
Same problem
Same here! Anyone figured it out yet?
I guess a future update would help.
I think this is the region problem. Maybe change csc solve the problem
Ok, so it isn't a problem of my note
Same here, HK model
Mine too is HK

I guess it is a problem of the keyboard being like this, I have the Taiwan version and my keyboard is the same..I wanted to use Keys Café to edit it lol guess it is a problem with our model..too bad!
Too hard to use the symbols with this bizarre configuration.
