Bixby Button as Mute? - Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers

Hi Guys,
I was wondering if the Bixby Button can be used as Mute button during the call. Remember the Mute button on the blackberries? Very handy.

bxActions app (Play Store) should be able to do it / configure the Bixby button for this function.
See screenshots for some use /options
Don't know if this option is available in free version.
I'm using the Pro version.
Good luck

I'm guessing OP means to mute the mic during a phone call, I'm not sure if bxActions can do that.

You can try using the Button Mapper app from the Play Store and assigning the "Mute Microphone" action to the Bixby Button. You need to run the suggested ADB command first before you can do it though.

I would LOVE to be able to make this goofy bixby button toggle mic mute during calls. I have to do a ton of conference calls for work and really miss having a button for this from BB days.

Finally got back to this. Installed and enabled it. However when on call doesn't mute the call. When not on call i press the button toast message shows up "mic muted"

BxActions + Tasker should do the job *not tested.

is there a solution?
Has anyone found a solution? Seems there area alot of "may work" but nothing has been confirmed?

Camera Button: Can I change what it does?

Hi, is it possible to change what happens when I press the camera button on my Xperia T? I would like it to start recording audio, so I can quickly and effortlessly start recording, rather then having to turn the screen on, navigate to the app, open, then press record.
Thanks
Yes,with a Xposed module called Xposed Additions.

I installed it but there's something wrong, when I run the app it says "Missing System Service: The service is not enabled. If you have just updated the module please reboot. Otherwise make sure xposedbridge is installed and that this module is enabled."
I do have a rooted phone.
You are new in this read something about xposed framework thats the only way to do that easier
OK I sorted out that problem, the app works fine now.
Does anyone know how to use this app? How do I set it to record audio on pressing the camera button?

You can't set it to record audio directly, as far as I know (never saw that in the options), but theoretically you should be able to set it to be able to open an app when pressing the camera button. You need to set conditions (while screen off or on), and then reasign the button to the function you want. It's not a complicated app.

I've been trying to find a tutorial or guide for this app but I can't. Either I'm stupid or it's not as easy as it seems.
Could someone help me out? I just want my audio recording app to launch when I press the camera button.

It's not that hard, you just need to press the "Buttons" (Configure button re-map settings), and set profiles for when the screen is on/off. As far as I know, you can't set it to open an app while the screen is off, you'd need the screen to be on first. Aside from that, you could also try reading the button labels/descriptions, which might help. Also, there aren't that many buttons either, so just start pressing buttons and see what they do.

All I can do for a button is add conditions. I can add conditions fine, but I can't see how to launch an app under those conditions.
Edit: Actually I figured it out but the program doesn't work.

I tested it out a few days ago, and it worked for me (used it to open a different camera app than the default one). Maybe it's the ROM you're on.

Make the headset play button take pictures?

Are there any modules that work like that? Is that even possible?

I would look whether xposed additins can remap the headset button to start an app. If so then you can start zhe app "Shoot it" to take a picture (the app works silently without any notification).
That's cool. I was wondering if there is a way to make the headset play button work with the camera when the app is open, instead of tapping the capture button on the app. I think this already exists on some devices. See the video below.

Remap Bixby button

Hi,
I already have a Note 9 (got it right after launch), but with the default apps and procedures, i'm unable to remap the bixby button.
Anyone here already succeeded with this?

How you thinking you would remap it with default apps and procedures?... There is no such thing.
It was rumored to have remapable Bixby but it turned out to be false. You need to use a remapper app.

I understand. But for the S9 and S9+ there is an app in the PlayStore that handles remapping, the app seems to be working fine, except for the fact that the remapping doesn't work haha.
have you followed all the steps to activate and to run required ADB commands?

You have a link to a thread/article for the ADB Commands/procedure,or,just post it yourself.
I've been away from Samsung devices for about six months,would be nice to have the info,especially if the apps in the Google Play Store aren't working.
THX! :good:

Thisis what i originally did on my Note 8 ( and then later Note 9.)
to get my car radio to launch Google Assistant as Bixby kept popping up.
I also have bxActions installed on my phone, but what i originally did, regarding my car radio (Google voice commands) is..
Device /Settings /Advanced settings /Device Assistant app/set to Google and next to Google press settings cog icon
and set voice.... Google Assistant.
So if i press and long press /hold my car phone button
Google Assistant answers.
(Same as home button on device (function) for me)
So take a look and see if it works for you.?

Cheers. Slightly off topic how does one turn it off completely? I don't think it's possible.

Not sure, as i always had it preferred.
However , if you tap on the last setting page you can either enable or disable?

Bixby button not working as remapable button anymore

Hey folks, I had reddit on my remapable button for Bixby for single press and double press is Bixby, but something happened yesterday out of the blue and it is not working anymore and it launches Bixby on single press and its frozen. Tried to re do the whole process nothing got fixed, restarted the phone, nothing, I do not have any new software, I sont use games I dont use almost anything except Google stuff like calendar and keep, some things like viber, Skype, WhatsApp, a bibble, or scanner and reddit... so the idea is I should not have anything to break my phone in my eyes, but I just also remembered there were Samsung updates yesterday in the Samsung store, for the apps and Bixby was one of them, has any one had similar issues, and do you know a fix?
Nobody?
I got the update for Bixby & related applications. At first, the single click of bixby button did launch the bixby assistant. Then I went to settings & disabled>enabled it & it worked good again.

If you totally remove bixby can you still remap the button?
For example I disabled bixby using package disabler pro and seem to be having issues remapping...
Yes, I use bxActions for that.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...-bxactions-remap-bixby-button-single-t3832301
For me it works great. Action Shortpress is Display off and lang press Google Assistant.
After updating, I had to go through the Bixby setup the first time I hit the button but after that I'm back to normal on a single press.
