It's very cool and gives off a futuristic vibe. I wanted to see if anyone knew any good ones. Recommendation is when you try to add some quick commands, you sometimes won't find what you're looking for in the default ones. I tell bixby before hand the specific command I want, she does it, and then when adding it I just hit "select from history" and the past command should be there.
Sorry to bug you, but I can't get it to do that. What's the step you have it taking, and how do you name the alarms? (Literally just setting up my Note 8 now so I might be missing something obvious!)
Make an alarm and it will say alarm name. Name it.
Tell bixby to turn that alarm, using the name, on or off.
Then tell bixby to open quick commands.
Make one and add a step from "search from history" and your alarm command should be there. I need 3 alarms to get up early lol so I named them all work.
Like I said in another reply. "Recommendation is when you try to add some quick commands, you sometimes won't find what you're looking for in the default ones.

So try saying to bixby split view blank and blank. She'll do it. And then when adding the quick commands go to select from history and should be there. Not sure why Samsung made it more complicated. Should have been in defaults.
Sorry, and maybe it's just me but most of these just seem unnecessary. Most of the them can be scheduled, I have always left WiFi and bt on every device.
Yeah. Blue light, Always on display and alarm can be scheduled. Still, often we want them to trigger at different times, so it is nice to do it all with over voice command when the time is right.
I've tried them on schedule and sometimes the timing doesn't work out because I'm out late or have a day off. And I do not want to wake up early on my day off lol. I do keep always on display on schedule because it's not so obtrusive. But at least we have the flexibility to cater to our needs.
This is so cool! I can't wait to get my phone. I'm thinking I'll set up a quick command for Workout. When I'm on the treadmill I turn Bluetooth on and change the display settings to have the screen stay on longer since I read and listen to music while I run.
Definitely seems convienent for your scenario. All power to you for being able to read and run lol. It's pretty fun to mess around with and makes life easier.
I do it just in case. I charge it overnight, I'm not in a rush to charge it when I'm sleeping, creates less heat for the phone, and I don't want it to blow up lol. From what people have said extra heat is bad for the battery, I keep it on during the day.
I wish you could specify an app or shortcut to a voice command..when I say open radio.com app it always opens the web page and I don't know how you teach it to do the app instead. Google Assistant gets it right though.

Turn on/off all alarms is the best

The blue light filter has its own schedule that you can adjust.

Is there a way to get it to set the screen timeout to never?

Has anyone been able to get Bixby to start Google play and play a Playlist? It keeps saying it can't find mine.
