Just upgraded my Note 9 to an S22 Ultra last week and... I really miss the stupid Bixby button.
I mapped it to be a "back" (or "home") button and now that I don't have it, I realize that I used it *all* the time.
No workaround for this, I would imagine, right? No 3rd party software hack...?
you can set the side key as bixby wake up button. search for it inside setting.
Update: I found a 3rd party (paid) app called sideActions that appears to allow the user to remap the power and volume buttons. This might work.
You don't need a 3rd party app, it's in the phone Settings.
Go to Settings > Advanced Features > Side Key

Has anyone tested a long press on the Bixby button? I'm wondering if it launches Music. There is some interesting settings in the system flags that might make it easy to set a press and long press on the Bixby button to do whatever you want.
This is the setting in the preferences file I was referring to. This came from a device on display at Verizon. I have no idea what button or element the long press refers to.

Edit: Doesn't work. The Bixby button only seems to launch Bixby out of the box. No long press, no double press on it.
You get the option at the top to turn off the Bixby key, seemingly only the first time you open Bixby after updating
I turned it off and it still comes on by pressing the key so...
Bixby update is available in Galaxy App store
I got the update as well i do like the fact you can turn off the Bixby button because sometimes press it by mistake.

Thanks for the heads up! I disabled it, restarted and the bixby button doesn't do anything now! Perfect!
Package disable all bixby stuff. Disabling the button will continue having bixpy running in the background and using ram
Hope the developers of bxactions etc get the button remap to work with bixby button work boxy off, still like to have access to my camera through the button.

I've completely disabled bixby (single press & long press). The only way I can remind myself of this horrendous voice assistant is by resetting my default home launcher (it is Nova atm) and getting to bixby through the TouchWiz launcher.
Seems most people can only disable single press. What you have to do is go into bixby, hit settings, and disable bixby voice first. THEN disable bixby home launcher. Voila, your bixby button does nothing at all now.
Hope someone finds a way to make use of this button that is literally doing nothing now.
EDIT: ENABLE FLAWLESS GOOGLE ASSISTANT
After disabling bixby voice and bixby home, download bxactions and follow the steps in-app to enable "Control Mode". You'll need a PC to run a command, but the steps are super easy. Google assistant is flawless when pressing bixby button now. Couldn't be happier.
How are you guys turning off Bixby?? Is it done inside the app or grin settings?? I got it updated

Thanks I got it figured out. You've got to go thru the Bixby setup and it'll be up at the top. I've since got bx actions going in control mode and have that button mapped for Google assistant

I think it only works for Google assistant if I disable bixby voice (control mode) and try use bixby button for Camera I get a pop up saying I need to enable Bixby voice... hope developers can tweak things so all bixby functions can be disabled but the button can still be used for a range of actions (like camera).
Guess I need control mode... Because after disabling the button, nothing works
Cool, now i can turn this bixby thing off. Its annoying when accidentally pressed
Hello!
Recently, I was able to disable the Bixby button simply by clicking on the Bixby button, going to settings, and selecting the disable button option. That option appears to have vanished and I don't know how else to disable it now.
If anyone has seen this issue please let me know!
I can't help you with your problem but I use the Bixby remapper app and i changed it to open Google assistant. Pretty simple.
Watched the same thing today, searched tho whole internet but nobody seems to have the same problem?
I use BK Disabler. Try it, works really well!
I use bxActions from the Play store. Works great, even on the new Oreo builds.
You could just open the phone, cut the ribbon to that button....:cyclops:
Long press on any open home screen. Swipe right until getting you to Bixby home. Then turn off. You can also turn off her voice in settings on that page. And pressing button does nothing
Also there is apps in the play store to remap the button (no root) to do something else. Now my button for Bixby takes a SS.
Do it in the Bixby app. I disabled my button today in Bixby settings

Yes but very limited, with bxActions you can remap single, double, long press and more and also launch actions from lockscreen.
Like toggle flashlight when the screen is off with a double tap..
Had a great experience on it with my Note 9 so I immediately installed it on my SGS10+. It's working great.
Thanks for the feedback, working also fine here on S10
Is there no option to map bixby on long press? I am using Google Assistant on tap but I'd like to be able to use bixby on long press.
Bixby starts on long press by default, or what do you mean?

Awesome i will install when i get my s10 plus thanks!
Screenshot its buddy. It will go back once before taking the screen
That can happen on some apps if you use standard remapping on single press. You could take screenshot on long press, or unlock remapping over a PC and that problem will be solved.
Is it also possible to set Google assistant to it? This is not possible in stock remapping settings

Which bixby system apps can I safely remove without losing bxActions
Is there a way to have the physical button press launch one app- say the camera for example and then when on the home screen and you swipe to the bixby home panel- have that be something different such as Google Now?
Bought the paid version and did the PC unlock. This could be very useful for testing and executing scripts on the fly. Love the app!
