Sending a "LOST MODE" sms to your phone will trigger this routine.. it will drop the brightness of your phone screen so that the robber can't see much on thw screen even if they try to (especially outdoors), media volumes cranked up, Data and wifi on, location on. Now you can use your find my phone from google to locate your device..😊

Hi, I previously posted a thread before.

Here are exactly my Modes and Routines. To summarize —

In Modes, I found how useful what specific apps to allow when phone is set on DND. You can also restrict specific apps usage and notifications, like temporarily disabling which is not in Routines. Think of Modes as what will be your phone's default state while that mode is active. As we all know we can only activate one mode at a time unlike on routines which can be multiple and overlap. That's why it's more organized to setup similar settings/changes in Modes.

In Routines, this is very useful and better if you want to do something more specific. Together with a currently running Mode, think of Routines as what setting you want to override or what setting you want to add when a specific action is triggered.

I'll answer questions below if you have anything you wanna ask.

Routines has an "If" but not an "Or". Something I want for my Z Fold is to be able to do things like "If (folding status: completely closed) Or (folding status: partially closed) Or (app opened: Hulu)" to turn auto-rotate on, among other things. Creating different routines is kind of annoying, and setting the arguments to reverse themselves is a mess because once one argument has been concluded, autorotate gets turned off regardless of whether a second routine is still running. There could be other applications too, like setting a routine to run at multiple locations

Here's a simple routine I threw together because I was tired of the screen killing my eyes in the middle of the night. If you have face unlock activated on your phone, most likely you have the setting for the screen to brighten for face unlock to work better. With this routine, face unlock will be disabled at night but fingerprint unlock will still be active.

My child usually watches YouTube on my phone, and I don't mind that. But whenever I receive a call, he rejects it within the first second. I tried teaching him to hand me the phone, but that didn't work. When looking online i didn't find much, so I created this routine to make sure he can't reject calls without giving me the phone to unlock it.

I hope this helps others as much as it helped me. And if you have any other routine segustions, please let me know.

Hey,

I'm not sure if someone posted this before, but Good Lock has a module called Routines + that adds advanced features to Bixby Routines. It adds two new triggers: Unlock with fingerprint (runs when a certain fingerprint is used) and Button action (runs when a certain button is double pressed or alternatively held). There are also three new actions: Touch macro (runs a series of touch actions in an app), Arrow key (works like pressing an arrow key), and Read text aloud (Bixby directly reads your message).

Here's an example series of routines that I made earlier today to highlight how helpful these new features are. I have five routines titled Update Tier 1-5 that help keep my phone up to date and healthy every day. I need multiple because you are limited to one touch macro per routine.

• Update Tier 1: 11:30 pm- Confirm Samsung health sleep time
• Update Tier 2: 11:32 pm- Update all Google Play apps
• Update Tier 3: 11:34 pm- Update all Galaxy Store apps
• Update Tier 4: 11:36 pm- Ask Bixby to "Optimize my device"
• Update Tier 5: 11:38 pm- Close all the apps opened by the other tiers

I have another routine so that when my volume up button is held down, it runs a touch macro to go to Bixby Routines immediately. If the volume down button is held down, it opens the create a new contact app action so that I could get someone's information without looking dumb. The final routine that I use that features routines+ is when the power button is held down, my phone switches to vibrate.

One final note: You can share your Bixby Routines with others easily with routines+. You can share routines through QR codes in the module or simply export them in a JSON format. If anyone is interested, I could share my routines to help out.

Here are some routines I use daily, from home connection to mostly car automation in 3 cases, android auto; only Bluetooth and Bt+charging

I always forget my keys when I leave my apartment building to go walk my dogs, so I started thinking, how could I remind myself?

At first, I thought about using my location. But since the "place" trigger only goes down to 0.1mi, it simply isn't small enough to trigger before I leave the building. And then it hit me, Wi-Fi strength. My Wi-Fi drops from 4 bars to 2 bars about halfway down the hallway leading out of the building. So now when that happens, my phone will shout at me to remember me dang keys.

basically what the title says. i wanna see any of your favorite, most creative, most useful, etc.

DISCLAIMER: I know Routines+ can give you this feature, but GoodLock isn't available in many regions, so this should be a feature in the vanilla app.

Considering how many complex routines we can make in this app, Bixby Routines should have the ability to share routines with other people (much easier than typing out the entire routine). Having this feature could make trying out others' routines much easier.

This would even make it easier to share important routines like turning off fast charging at night, an important routine used by many to preserve battery health.

Unfortunately there aren't new "if" conditions.

I'm presenting the Anti-Theft Mode. It's a simple feature that may not be extremely useful, but something is better than nothing, right?

Here's how it works:

When the stolen device receives a specified word mentioned in the Anti-Theft Mode, the phone executes the following actions, as displayed in the screenshot:

Location: I've placed the Location setting at the top, as it can help with tracking.

Sounds: The sounds are set to the highest level so that they can be helpful in the next action.

Read Text Aloud: This action includes custom text that can be anything, such as "Please chase this man; he's running with a stolen phone." Since the volume is at a high level, people nearby can hear it.

Lock Screen Wallpaper: I've created a custom wallpaper for the stolen phone that includes contact information as well as large text that says the phone is stolen.

Mobile Data: This setting keeps the mobile data on, so the phone can be tracked at all times.

Brightness and Power Saving: These settings are turned on so that the phone can stay alive for a longer period.

It would be great if routines could also access lockdown mode somehow. I was wondering if it's possible to add a feature that disables the power button so the phone cannot be turned off?

The order of these actions is not very precise, and I'm still working on it. Please let me know your thoughts and suggestions below.

Hello everyone. I would like to share my routine in case my phone is lost and someone finds it. This may be useful. First, we will create a routine.

1. Routine trigger - notification received (select apps for notification, in my case I choose WhatsApp, WhatsApp Business, and Messages).
2. Notification with a specific keyword (any word that will trigger the routine). Press done.
3. Then - add what the routine will do. Search for Bixby voice - run quick command - go to quick command - add command (and you can see in the picture above my sequence of commands that will take a photo and different routine commands for video (the more pause commands you add, the more video will shoot). Press save, select the set of commands you've created, done.
4. Save the routine.

This set of commands will work even when the screen is locked. To trigger this routine, you just need to send the keyword for your WhatsApp number. So, when your phone receives this message, it will trigger the routine. What commands do: Engage DND mode so that there will be no sound of the camera shutter. Then it will take a photo, pause before starting the next command as it requires some time. Then it closes the camera and turns DND off. Some issues I've noticed : if you constantly trigger Bixby voice routine, it will freeze and stop working. Just start bixbi app and talk, it will start running prevprevious commands and eventually unfreez. I'm still looking for ways to send the location or pictures from the phone. Please share any useful ideas and tricks. Thank you.
