Pretty much that the title says. I attempt to go to set double clicking the power button to open Samsung pay, and i do not see the app as an option anymore. I used to have it set on my s21 ultra. I have a fresh install so i didn't transfer any of my settings to my s22 Ultra. Anyone else having this issue? Any work arounds?
I already have my Samsung pay set up and I've been using it. I attempted to uninstall and reinstall Samsung pay and that didn't help.
You could use the quick access settings from samsung pay. I have mine to activate is i swipe up on screen off or on lock. I leave the swipe on home screen off to avoid issues with gestures.

Look for Side Key in System Settings, not in Samsung Pay. You can set Double press for Samsung Pay.

That's exactly what I'm doing. I went to the system settings and selected side key. But like i said, Samsung pay is not an option on the list of apps to set as a side key double press.

This is frustrating this. I'm going to start using the side actions app to remap it for now..
BUMPING this post. I got the March update but still no option to select Samsung pay as a side key option. I'm using a third party app but it's ideal because it opens up bixby for a split second and then it opens up Samsung pay but on the wrong screen.
Anyone know of any fixes short of factory resetting my phone?

Just open the Samsung Pay app, Accept the permissions if required, Install the update if required too.
After all that, go to your side key settings and it'll show up.
I don't even use it tbf, but i saw your message and realised mine didn't show it either (Already updated too). So i was curious...

I have all permissions accepted and the most up to date app.
Did you not have it as an option at first? And after following your steps then you got it to show?
Hmm Interesting... I didn't have the option to start off with either
When i went to Samsung pay, it asked me to change settings to allow 2 of the permissions. Then it asked me to install it. After installing i headed straight into side keys and the option turned up like that.
Thought i would test my theory out another way.
Uninstalled it, Then reinstalled it
*Note* - I don't have any cards attached to mine. I don't know if you'll have to fill all yours out again ♂

Nothing. I uninstalled it reinstalled it. Cleared cache, cleared data, cleared cache in recovery, repaired apps in recovery. I have no idea what else to do. I have gpay i wonder if that's causing issues.
I'm in the US on TMo, have Samsung Pay working with normal method and March update. Samsung Pay is not an option in the side key double press applications.
I have T-Mobile and no Samsung Pay option for the side key despite having Samsung Pay set up. Although I do not intend to use it, I would like to understand why the option does not appear for all owners

Installing Nine email for Exchange and removing the Exchange account from the phone makes Smart Lock start working again.
I do have exchange but do not have a pin lock requirement. When home, I often set lock screen to none, and use a pattern lock when I go out as a matter of habit. With pin lock requirement turned on, I would not be able to use pattern lock or set lock screen to none.

Yep. You're right. That wouldn't cause an issue.
I have also heard of folks who had to set 3 or 4 trusted places around their home for it to work. Say, your house, neighbor on the left, neighbor on the right...etc.
Hmmm... today at work, it actually worked. Once. it took me a while to figure out why and perhaps why it doesn't work most of the time.
If I let my phone time out, or use the power button to turn off the screen, it appears to work..
But if I use the button (app called screen off) that turns off the screen immediately and locks the phone it doesn't then work when I turn the phone back on.
I use the screen off button all the time as it is much easier than reaching around for the power button and I like to turn off the screen before I put it in my pocket or even put it down since it is less difficult to mess something or activate something when handling the device.
Now that I know what is going on... I can possibly talk to the developer about it to see if there is a "fix". Or just hitting the power button instead.
Note I typically hold the phone in my left hand and my fingers are lower on the device to balance it better.
Damn. I forgot Greenify does the same thing. Glad you finally figured it out.
When it worked the first time I wasn't sure what was happening as I had never seen it work before. It wasn't until I got a desk phone call and it timed out on it own and did it again, that I made the connection. I actually forgot it was still setup.

Ah! So that's why it's not working most of the time! Did you ever get a fix or workaround for the screen off app? I have the screen off button on the bottom left of all my home screens because it's so much more convenient than the power button, but I'm tired of doing the damn fingerprint all the time at trusted locations.
Retain your factory warranty and Samsung pay with this guide. I assure you your phone will FLY after you do these mods. As an Added benefit your battery life will be increased as well. Here we go:

-Install the app and run it.
-When you open the app it will look like this:
-I can sit here all day and go through the hundreds of entries. Or you can just import the .xml that I made. I researched every single package that I disabled individually and then tested for weeks to make sure there were no glitches or missing features. **WARNING** disabling certain services or apps can cause you to have to wipe out your phone and restore the firmware. The ones in my .xml will not harm your phone. If you want to experiment beyond what is in my .xml just be sure to research before disabling anything. Also I may have disabled apps that you use so you may want to scroll through what is disabled to make sure I didn't turn anything off you want.
-In the top right click the three dots
-Click "Import from xml" (this is for the T-mobile variant, but will work for all Note 5's)
-Select my xml ("disabledSAFE.xml") and click import (it's attached to this post as a .zip file)
Speed up all animations.
-Go to settings>about device
-click build number 7 times to enable developer options

-Scroll down until you see "window animation scale".
-You are going to change "window animation scale" and the 2 entries following it, for a total of 3 changes.
-Change all 3 to "0.5x"

Battery life
I took it upon myself to do some battery life testing. I calibrated my battery by running the phone until it shut itself off. I then plugged it in and didn't take it off the charger until it was at 100%. That night I took the phone off the charger, it was at 100%, I did not turn the screen on. I just let it sit for 8 hours while I slept. I had google now and location totally disabled. By morning I had lost 4% battery. The next night I did the same thing but with location services enabled. I lost 5% that night. The next night I enabled google now. That night I also lost 5%.
Something to note. The battery discharges faster from 100% than it would at, say 60%. If the phone were at about 60% when I ran my test, I would probably see a loss of 2%.
These findings are interesting becuase I have done extensive testing in the past regarding location services, using better battery stats, wake lock detector, and GSAM battery monitor. In the past, on previous phones, I always had significantly more drain when anything location related was allowed to run. I noticed when I got the Note 5 it slept really well out of the box. So maybe they figured it out with this phone, I don't know. The battery is smaller than my Note 4 was, but certainly lasts longer.
Anyway, try out this setup and tell me what you think!
T-Mobile Wifi Calling
I added a new .xml called WifiCallEnabled.xml for T-mobile users. This is the same as the original zip, only with Wifi Calling enabled.

Hi seh 6183,
Thank you for this guide.
Maybe a stupid question but everything works as before when we use your xml?
I do not want to loose any functionality on my note 5. I know you stated that in the OP but maybe there are some things we loose but you don't care about these. Like S Pen, location,......
A second question: how much batterie life did you win after using this? Just curious.

Everything is working using my .xml minus a few things I never use such as WiFi Calling and s-pen keeper. I have uploaded a second .xml for WiFi Calling in the OP and if you want to re-enable s-pen keeper, just open PDP and scroll down to s-pen keeper and uncheck the box. While you're in there look through the others to see if you see anything else you may use such as the T-Mobile account app.
I've actually never done battery testing with and without packages disabled. I will do that tonight and update the OP tomorrow.

Well boys I'm off to greener pastures. I rooted my phone yesterday and installed a rom and a kernel. I hated giving up my warranty and Samsung pay, but I hated more the lag and bad ram management. I particularly hated the keyboard lag and auto correct issues. When I read the features of the arter kernel I was blown away and had to try it. I had to do something because I kept looking at nexus 6ps every day and was probably going to make the switch, so I would have lost Samsung pay anyway.
The note 5 truly is the best phone overall, but some things just need to be ironed out and that unfortunately can't be don't without root.

So far there is zero lag. None while typing or scrolling. I'm using the darthstalker rom and arter kernel. Converted the storage to f2s using arter and everything flies. Apps stay in memory way longer too. Will test battery over the next couple days and see if any lag comes back.
Well Korea got another firmware update this morning. The update never gave details but here is what I've found so far:
In the settings under Device, there is now an "Auto open apps" option. Basically when you scroll through your apps list, whatever app you stop on will automatically open.
Also in the settings under "connections" there's an alert option now to be notified via vibration when disconnected from your phone.
Under the display setting there's now a screen timeout option. 15 secs, 30 secs, 1 min, or 5 minutes.
Also some bloatware was added. Apps added were a world clock, starbucks, a korean navigation app, and the flipboard news briefing app. There's also a few watchfaces added, nothing new, same ones shown at the initial unveiling. All of them can be uninstalled thankfully.
There's a notification indicator option now also in display. It will make a little orange circle appear on your watchface until you've viewed the notification. Only works if you don't have notifications set to automatically turn on your screen in the Gear Android app.
When reading the text of a notification, it will make the font larger if you double tap the screen.
Cosmetic differences:
now says "add widget" under the + symbol when you scroll all the way right.
On a notification, when you swipe up to dismiss, it now shows a trash can.
For a notification reply, the emoji symbol has been replaced with a more traditional circle happy face.
When you scroll right on the watchfaces menu there's an option to "Add template" now. It then lets you choose from the watchfaces that can be stylized and make a new face from them.

I can't believe they didn't map the top button to toggle most recent app... it's so annoying having to go back to the app screen to get to your music app while running... the button is basically wasted without a double click or long press option.
I glad they brought back the vibrate when disconnected function.

In SHealth I'm able to swipe/twist to the right and get to the music controller, which then returns to SHealth when I press the back button.
Coming from Pebble I expected apps to be persistent and not just to have the watch exit home to the watchface everytime the display times out. It's really nice to have a persistent app for a music player. I could adjust the track or volume without looking at my wrist. And it's also greatly needed for the stopwatch. A settings option for persistent apps would be great.
My Gear app updated this morning, I see no change in the watch. The app on the phone has a whole new layout, but nothing has changed on the watch. Still shows the same J3 software version.

display time out
So I got the update on my classic watch, there is 5 new watchfaces.
There is also a new option on the display settings so now you can choose the time from 15 sec up to 5 min.
If i set the display timeout on 5 min it's nothing change...
So I do not understand what the problem is or the new options mean???
Could anyone help me?

You guys are lucky.

I think it will be soon fixed and then you can get this update.

I agree there should be a long press top button feature. The way I deal with this problem is I set long press home to the music player. Then to access apps you press home then press home again.

So I have the Nexus 5X, aka phone is encrypted.
My watch is from Korea and the app does have an update, but I get the error message that it cannot install because phone is encrypted. Any solutions?
My Gear Fit, which isn't actually Tizen, but resembles it a bit, has an option for what you want to do after timeout - return to watch face, or remain on last app. Very handy, and Samsung could certainly add this option, since they already know how it works.

A better way to interact with your phone - Samsung Galaxy S8 (with T-Mobile/Sprint patch).
This app requires a Samsung Galaxy S8 / S8+ and will not work on any other device. Custom Bixby Button works with the T-Mobile/Sprint June security patch.
Custom Bixby Button teaches Bixby a lesson.
Custom Bixby Button makes your phone more helpful – assisting in completing tasks with for example Google Assistant, you are telling your S8 what it should be looking at.
Just push the Custom Bixby Button.
Custom Bixby Button understands more
With Custom Bixby Button, getting things done has never been so full of choices.
Custom Bixby Button interacts with your phone’s apps and shortcuts.
Plus, you can talk with Google Assistant because Custom Bixby Button understands you better.

Custom Bixby Button can be downloaded from XDA Labs or Google Play.
Permissions
Bind Accessibility Service: This permission is required for the Accessibility Service. This is required to listen when the Bixby application comes to the foreground and to execute some actions. This app will not do anything without an enabled Accessibility Service. Please disable any other Bixby button applications' Accessibility Services before using Custom Bixby Button.
Do not disturb: This permission is required to change the ringer mode. This is an optional permission and the app will ask for it when required.
Notes
Custom Bixby Button was developed to work with the April update. It requires no root.
If Bixby button doesn't open when you press the button, press the button very quickly. This is probably an issue in the firmware and is not related to Custom Bixby Button.
Remember to disable other Bixby button apps before using Custom Bixby Button
This app uses an Accessibility Service to detect when the Bixby app comes to the foreground. This method should not have lag when you scroll because the service is limited to the Bixby app only. If you still have lag it is probably caused by another Accessibility Service.

Expanded desktop would be nice.
App seems to work great. Thank you. My only complaint is that it forces you to disable secure startup if you are using it. I would prefer to use secure startup but I'm willing to give it up to remap the Bixby button.
Just tried, it does work but on my phone I see Bixby starting and then after half a second it moves to the selected command from the app. Still better than Bixby
Thanks op!

You can re-enable secure startup again after you enabled the Accessibility Service. I'll put this in the help section in a future update.

I'm posting this to all of the Bixby remappers
These are the packages you can disable and still run this app. At minimum it needs Bixby and Hello Bixby enabled.

It says that custom Bixby will be turned off when I try to reenable secure startup.
It only works if I don't disable bixby. So bixby pops up first then voice assistant. Tmobile s8 with april update.

Yes, Custom Bixby Button will not work until you enter your pin/password. Just ignore the dialogue, it will work after you enter your pin/password to decrypt.

What do you mean with "disable bixby"?
Custom Bixby Button just got an update in the beta channel. This update improves the speed and Bixby is no longer visible. Also there is a new "dialer" action. Feedback is appreciated!

Works perfectly even after re-enabling the secure startup.
Thanks.
Thanks for your work !
I use your app to turn my phone quickly into silent mode. But it doesn't work well when the phone is locked. Bixby launch and the screen stay awake on the bixby page. :/
Is there a solution ?

Currently have not found a way yet to get it working correctly when the screen is locked. I will look into it.

Hello,
Thanks, it will be a great feature.
Otherwise, it is possible to have an option to toggle ringer mode only between vibrate and normal ? (no silent)
Some other bixby applications offer this option but I prefer yours (more fast).
Thanks a lot
Beautiful app, judging by the screenshots in the OP. I definitely appreciate the detail/tidiness in the GUI. Could you perhaps add a Fullscreen app mode/Immersive mode option like in BxActions. If this indeed is possible in a future iteration id install this in a heartbeat.
Regards,
The latest update for T-Mobile and Sprint broke all Bixby remapping apps. Currently searching for another workaround. If you have this new update, and would like to help, please let me know.
EDIT:
Almost done with a new version. New version will be released within a few hours.
Introducing Custom Bixby Button (2.0): Custom Bixby Button teaches Bixby another lesson.
• T-Mobile / Sprint (US) June security patch compatibility (select "Polling method" in settings);
• Choose from multiple options to say good-bye to Bixby - Custom Bixby will handle the rest.
• Custom Bixby Button has smooth scrolling (no lag) - Really;
• Premium option if you happen to dislike ads;
• Available in Arabic, Dutch, English, German, Hebrew, Russian and will expand to more languages over time.
Any idea how start normaly app bixby when once push button, but when push twice or long press togle do not disturb mode .
On the lock screen a full screen ad appears within 3 seconds. I hate it. Is this normal?
I've tried disabling a bunch of stuff,changing permissions, notification options, etc, nothing seems to get rid of it. Anyone else had this issue, and found out what causes it or find a way to fix it?
Not normal. At least it wasn't for me (U11 Unlocked)
On other phones, this was usually due to either ES File Explorer or any of the GO apps like GOSMS, etc. Try uninstalling those if you have them.
News Republic is known to serve ads too. you mind showing the ad on your lockscreen? Some of them contains hints of which app is serving them.
Also include a list of apps so maybe we can identify which is the culprit if any of us tried it before.

I think I found what the problem is while looking on the Play store at the Sense Home app. Different ad, but same thing.

I could be wrong because I'm not very smart, but I think this means its baked into the launcher, with no option to actually stop it. Tried clearing all app data, cache etc in airplane mode so it can't get more ads fed to it, but it's still there. Even tried to switch to a standard google launcher but even that didn't get rid of it.
I'm still hopeful that I'm missing something simple here, but also worried that HTC are being giant a-holes forcing ads and not allowing options to remove. Anyone have any other ideas?
By any chance do you have the Yelp App? LOL
also you could try
Settins/Sound ¬ifications/On the lock screen/
Don't show notifications at all
or go to Blinkfeed. Click the + sign and uncheck Mealtime recommendations.
Could just be sense home. Have you tried to disable ads in the launcher? If it still happens, then it's a third party app causing the lockscreen ads.
In order to get rid of notification apps that pop up in the upper left corner, all you have to do is swipe down to show the ads, then longpress on the particular app thats really pissing you off, and a menu will show and then select "never show again". That news republic used to piss me off all the time when it pops up and there was no other way to get rid of it. Its gone now,,,,lol. Anyway, try that method.

Thanks. I don't have yelp, and have tried that setting. Don't have meal recommendations on either.
OK I think I fixed it now. Pretty annoying.
It's counter-intuitive, but I had to actually enable mealtime recommendations in blinkfeed so that all the other stuff I turned off could override it, for some stupid reason.
Scratch that. It somehow un-fixed itself. This is driving me insane!!
Something to do with HTC and Yelp being in bed with each other, as I don't have yelp or anything on my phone. It still shows up whether I have mealtime recommendations or ads allow or disallowed or any combination of the above.
Be good if they would provide a simple/transparent way of blocking this s#!t. I really can't think of anything else to try.....
It's not news republic? That's the only thing I've seen do that

Yeah i got that the one time i signed into HTC account and turned on location for it. It started giving me lunch time recommendations etc. I dont normally use HTC account, just google, but thought i would try it on 11. Quickly did new setup and didn't sign in to HTC.

Thanks for that. Worked. I had to go though sense companion setup again to remove the account, but it worked. Took a bit of time afterwards for the ad to disappear, but it hasn't come back since.
Flashlight
I have an HTC U11 that started showing full screen ads (after about 3 seconds viewing the lockscreen, an ad appears suggesting a nearby restaurant) on the lockscreen. After trying everything I found online, I finally took someone's advice and disabled the Flashlight app. Yes, the Flashlight app that's installed when you get the phone. I didn't think it would work, but it did. Give it a try.
I have flashlight installed and use it multiple times a day via the squeeze function... I'd be very surprised if it's that.
Op, post a screenshot of all your installed apps if this problem still persists.
It sounds like you may have already figured it out. But this is likely the Sense Companion app. Which you can disable under settings - apps.
To my knowledge, the Sense Companion is what causes the lock screen suggestion that is pictured in the OP's screenshot.
Edit: Didn't realize that I repeated the post from the person above me.
