I am going to say a lot about Bixby in this video to prevent your phone from turning off continuously every time I say just say this command here hello Bixby, turn off the voice alarm clock and then you will finish watching the video just press and hold the power button and say turn on the alarm clock by voice. We'll start this off with some quick, simple but

incredibly

useful

features, then let's dive into a ridiculously powerful hidden feature. The first feature I use almost every night when I go downstairs is the ability to quickly turn on the flashlight because I don't have a light switch to turn on the lights. down from the top of the stairs I have to go all the way down and then fumble in the dark to get to a light switch, but with Bixby I can hold down the power button and say flashlight and the flashlight comes on when I do not do it.

I don't need it, I just keep it off again and the flashlight goes out that quickly and very quickly. If you hold down the power button and no great speed appears, then all you have to do is hold down the power button and turn down the volume. for a few seconds this menu will appear here tap on the side key settings and holding down can't turn on Bixby which is what I have it set to now or it might be in the power off menu for you so if you do I have it set there and I hold the button it will jump straight to the shutdown menu so if I now change it to wait at high speed to follow another command that I use at least a few times a week is the quick reminder command. so if I'm walking out the door and my wife asks me to pick up something on the way home, I'll just go ahead and pull out my phone, hold down the power button, and tell her to remind me to grab milk on the way home at 5 :00 pm. and just like that at 5:00 p.m.

I'll get a reminder to drink milk on the way home, as you can see, saving reminders is incredibly fast, noticing is incredibly fast, saving appointments to the calendar, all I have to do is hold down the power button and say something like schedule a dentist appointment on September 30 at 2:00 p.m. then it gives me the opportunity to make any changes I want, so if I set the date wrong I can say just change the time to September 27th and it will change the date. If I want to add a location I can say change the location to Boston Massachusetts and it adds the location, then when I'm done I can tap save or hold down the button and say save and that will save the event for me if I later forget when my appointment is with the dentist, I can hold down the button. button and say when is my dentist appointment and it will show it right away and by the way, if ever Bixby doesn't understand what you're saying or gets something wrong and you get to a screen like this, all you have to do is do what What you need to do is swipe down, then you can tap what you understood and then fix anything that went wrong and then you'll tap this Go Here button and that helps teach Bixby your voice and if you searched in the wrong app for what you were trying to do.

Click like, as you can see here, it went to the reminder app and set a reminder, but if that was wrong for some reason, you can just tap the capsule button and choose a different app you want it to act on , one more fun fact. On this screen, if you swipe in, you will get a keyboard and if you tap on that keyboard, you can type a command for Bixby, then tap this Go button and that will make Bixby run the command as well whenever your keyboard is open, already Whether it's a YouTube search or a text message or something, you can quickly dictate the text instead of typing it by holding down the Bigsby button and saying what you want to type, for example if I hold down the big C. button in a youtube search can i say best Galaxy Note Tenex arees then just tap search and quickly get my results if dictation is disabled on your phone all you have to do is hold down the power button and say activate dictation, the Next is pretty simple but it's really useful when you go on vacation, let's say you took the rest of the week off and you don't want your alarms to wake you up in the morning anymore, you can go ahead, hold down the power button and just say turn off all my alarms and that will go ahead and turn off all your alarms now.

If you just want to change the alarm time, you could say something like change my alarm from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. m. at 6:20 a.m. m. and he will do it. Change only the alarm time to see the super powerful hidden feature. This is a feature that you won't find in the Bixby app or Bixby settings, and you also can't ask Bixby to take you to this feature the only way. To access it is through phones in settings, so go ahead and turn down the notification shade, tap on the Settings gear, then tap on the search bar, then search for bigsby routines and tap on the first result.

Now, from here you can turn the big screen routines on and off. but to see the full power of this, you need to tap a little further to the left to enter the Big Street Routines settings. What Bixby Routines does is change any number of settings or parameters or open different applications based on different input conditions. If you are familiar with systems of this and that type, then this should make a lot of sense to you. The best way to describe this is to suggest setting up a new routine, so if you tap this plus icon in the corner, you can create a new routine. and now we have an if trigger, so if I go ahead and press this plus button here I can set a bunch of conditions for when this routine will run, so in this top section you can see that I can run it when I wake up.

I wake up in the morning when I get to work when I get home before I go to sleep while I sleep when I drive or when I travel abroad if I scroll down a little further I can make the routine run for a certain amount of time if I tap that too I can choose specific days for that routine to run and I can have a start time and end time so that it only runs for a certain period of time. I can also run the routine based on a location now this is not where I live.

I just picked a random place in California so I can show you how this works, but as you can see, there is a radius drawn around this little dot and every time I go inside this radius, the routine is going to run and I can increase or decrease the size of that radius by dragging this bar here to make it a smaller radius, I can drag it and make it even bigger up to 2000 meters and if I only want the routine to run when I am outside this radius, I just toggle the switch down here for when you come out, going back to the conditions, you can see that I can also run a routine when I plug in wired headphones based on the charging status, whether it's charging or not based on the battery level with whatever percentage I want.

I can run something when I connect to a specific Wi-Fi network or I can run something based on the strength of my Wi-Fi signal. This is particularly useful if there are certain places where you know you have very low Wi-Fi power and notice that it takes you forever to do things on the Internet. When you have that power low, you can use a great screw routine to automatically switch to your regular mobile network whenever your Wi-Fi power is low. falls below a certain percentage, you can also run a routine every time you connect to a specific Bluetooth device or when an app opens, so if I tap this and choose some random app here and tap Done, you can see that this routine is working. to run when I open Adobe Scan, but if I tap on this I can also add other apps, so this AR plan 3d let's go ahead and tap on that, so now every time Adobe Scan or AR Plan 3D open this routine will run, you can also execute it. a routine when you receive an incoming call now this is not an incoming call from a specific contact, it is any incoming call and this last option is to be able to execute the routine by pressing a button once you have selected all the conditions for the routine to execute you can also change the name of the routine by tapping up here it will also change the icon of the routine by tapping the icon in the corner you can change the color and the icon once set you can tap below and I'll see all the different things you can do when it runs the grind and this is where the power is so if I tap on this plus icon here you can see there's a bunch of different things you can do and I'm not going to go.

Through all of these, there are only a few that I want to point out and at any time you can pause the video and read the rest, but I just want to highlight the most interesting ones for you, so all of this. The top section is just for enabling or disabling all of these different features, the next section down controls all the sounds and vibrations so you can do things like enable or disable Dolby Atmos change the sound mode change the media volume on your speaker phone, but the most useful thing in this section is this separate app sound option, so if I tap on this, you can see that I have the option to make the sound of a specific app only come through the phone or through the Bluetooth connection, which is exceptionally useful if you use a Bluetooth speaker. at home to stream music, but you want your phone calls to always be private and go only to your phone, all you have to do is set up a routine that runs every time you connect to the speaker that has audio, go through your phone just for the phone app, so I just tap on the phone app, tap Done now, I don't have to worry about any of my calls playing through the speaker.

Turn on the edge lighting, it's great if you just want to be notified that the routine is running, you can set it. any type of custom border lighting, you can change the color, transparency, you can change the width of the border and change to a different type of effect and also change the duration of the effect and whenever the routine runs, this effect will plan your screen for a moment to let you know that the routine was enabled the font size is useful if you wear reading glasses, you can have the font size increase automatically at night when you are getting ready for bed and you don't normally have your glasses on and then reverting back to a normal size when you wake up in the morning and having your glasses in the screen orientation is incredibly useful for anyone who uses their phone in bed at night before going to sleep if you're one of those people.

I'm sure you've had many occasions where you try to read something on your internet browser and suddenly the phone goes into landscape mode and then you have to go to your settings and turn off auto-rotate so it stops working fine, This feature allows you to turn auto rotation on or off. I have already created a routine to demonstrate this to you. You could really see what I'm talking about here, so right now on my home screen I have Auto Rotate on, but if I open Samsung Browser, Auto Rotate will automatically turn off and then if I switch to an app like YouTube, all rotations will be automatically re-enabled and resetting another routine screen resolution is another very valuable option.

I have a routine set up so that every time I open a navigation app it automatically reduces my screen resolution and what it does is increase my phone's battery life when using something like Google Maps during a long trip. As soon as I exit the Google Maps app, my resolution automatically reverts to wqhd and changing lock screen shortcuts is one of my favorites. This allows you to change the left and right shortcuts on the lock screen according to the conditions you want. My favorite conditions are having my email and work calendar when I'm at work, YouTube and a messaging app when I'm at home, and maps on a camera when I'm not in any of those locations, if you just use Big Spew on your At home, you can go ahead and have the voice alarm clock only work when you're home.

Running a quick command is themost powerful feature here and I'll get to this one in a minute. A beep and vibration are good to alert you. When a routine starts running, turning on the flashlight is really useful if you use it for phone calls, so whenever you have an incoming call you can make the flashlight turn on to get your attention and then it will turn off automatically when you answer or reject . the call using a routine to open an app is something I use every morning. Now I travel to work. The really cool thing about this is that it now also includes app shortcuts if you don't already know if you long-press on an app. you get a bunch of shortcuts that are specific to the app.

This is a feature that just came to Android and it's not available for all apps, but for the ones that have shortcuts like this, you can access them here, so for me every time I log into my car in the morning, my routine automatically opens my Bible app and goes directly to the plan I'm reading for that day and the best thing about the YouVersion Bible app is that many of the plans can be read as an audiobook. which works great for my morning commutes reading notifications out loud is great when you're driving sending a quick rejection message is great if you're ever in a meeting at work or in class at school, that will allow you to respond automatically to any incoming call with a custom text that says something like I can't talk right now I'm in class or in a meeting I'll call you later and if you combine it with the home button tap condition you'll have the option to add a widget to your home screen that will turn auto-response on or off when you touch it, as you can see.

Now I have the switch on my home screen and I just tap it to enable the message and tap it again to disable it. Medium power saving allows you to activate it. enable or disable medium power saving mode, this is extremely useful if you want to turn it on automatically when the battery is below a certain percentage and you can make medium power saving mode turn off automatically when you are charging your device and exceed a certain percentage or if you are someone who often forgets to plug in your phone at night or charge it at night and you can have the medium power saving mode activate automatically if you go to sleep without plugging in your phone in the widget of the board.

Really cool feature that allows you to take any widget that you have installed on your phone and have it appear on your lock screen and your notification screen whenever one of your routines is running and you can choose different widgets for different routines as well I demonstrate this here. I'm on my lock screen, all I have to do is swipe left on the time and then tap on the dashboard widgets and I can see all the widgets that I have enabled for this particular routine and you can have a bunch of widgets too . What I have to do is scroll down to see the rest of them and since these are widgets, they're interactive, so I can go ahead and tap on one of them and it says reminder completed.

I can also get back to them by simply pulling down my notification screen. From any screen, tap Big C Routines and then tap the text in the Dashboard widgets, if at any time you want to stop a routine from running, simply pull down the notifications screen, tap Still View Routines, and then tap stop once you have set up your routines, they will all start. to appear on this main page of three base routines, but let's say you're going on vacation and you don't want some of them to run but you do want others to run, all you have to do is uncheck these boxes and you can turn them off. or enable any of the routines you want if you don't see the action you want for the routine you are trying to execute in this list, that's what this command fast execution feature allows you to execute any command at great speed and chain a bunch of Bixby

commands

as you can see here.

I made a list of 31 different commands with Bixby and if I touch this, what will happen is that every time this routine is executed all 31 commands will be executed, which is totally convenient. You never want to run that many commands at once, but the point is that you can do it to use the quick commands you need to configure some of them, so I'll show you how to do it right. Now all you have to do is hold down the power button and say show quick commands. As you can see here are the four quick commands that I set up, if we want to set up a new one I just tap on this plus icon, this top bar is what I want to tell BIC speaks to run the command and this bottom section allows me to choose any bigsby command I want to be able to tap select a command and select any of these apps here and then tap a command from the list or I can say a command like play my travel playlist on Spotify and if I don't want to do either of those, I can type the command manually.

If I want to change the order of the commands, I just tap Edit and drag these little arrows up. and down and when I put in what I want to tell Bixby and what it does after I say that command, I just hit save and it creates the new quick command for me. Here are two that I set up previously that really highlight how powerful this is, if I hold down the big C button and say roadtrip, it will play my roadtrip playlist on Spotify, I'll turn on medium power saving mode, turn off my Wi-Fi and I'll open Google Maps so I can start navigation and it will do everything. that without me touching the device, this good night command will automatically turn off all the lights in my house and if I say I'm going to work, it will turn on my bluetooth so I can connect to my car, start navigation so it works and turn off my Wi -Fi because I obviously won't need it while driving if you ever use Wi-Fi in public places like airports, cafes or hotels or if you frequently travel abroad to countries that block streaming services like YouTube or Netflix or you ever buy tickets then you'll want a quick command like the following.

Hey Bixby go ghost these are my quick commands to open today's sponsor app Surf Shark this is a VPN service that allows you to securely log in to sensitive accounts like. your bank while using public Wi-Fi by encrypting data being sent over the network if you weren't using a VPN, anyone with a little computer knowledge and a couple of free hacking apps can easily see all your sensitive data.
