queenslight,

Greetings to all new and returning followers here among #Mastodon & #equestria !

Yes, I have been over on #FireFish these days (see profile for link if ya wish to follow me there), but life's been okay I guess.

Nothing too exciting honestly to share (not even in 500 characters), but hopefully more as the fall progresses.

The only thing exciting right now (as of this post), is me going to Starbucks at around lunchtime to get their last 'buy one get one' deal on their Fall pumpkin drinks.

queenslight,

The only other news to share honestly, is that I'm also still sending feedback on 1UI 6 (now on beta 5), and that Custom Bixby voice feature (which honestly sounds better to me over Apple's Personal Voice (in which ya have to record 150 sentences vs 10 with Bixby), just sounds more natural to my ears. Oh, and ya can have more than one voice variant. Yeah, most US folks won't use Bixby worth fish sticks (never seeing Google Assistant natively letting you customize your voice anytime soon either).

@queenslight I can't even use Bixby. My phone won't let me set it up.

@Brynify

Strange. What phone do you have? And the easiest way to set it up is to hold down the side button then the interface should pop up. Also, thanks to Bixby Routines (AKA Modes And Routines), I have the 'Ask Alexa' button mapped to a double-press of the power side key.

You can also start bixby via the Settings app on your phone by searching for it.

BTW...
Thanks to the Routines Plus module via the Goodlock app in the Galaxy Store, that's how I got that Alexa trick to work.

@queenslight Yep, I have the S23 plus, and I tried the hold the button thing and it opens but won't let me click continue

queenslight,

@Brynify

that is an odd one. you definitely may want to give the samsung team a call. or text to 1-800-samsung on your phone if you do not wish to call.

do let me know if you want the samsung accessibility phone number and email address also.

@Brynify

as a samsung galaxy s23 plus user myself, though the color is purple, i have had luck getting bixby to work by simply clearing its data/cash via the device care or app settings screen.

Brynify,
@Brynify@dragonscave.space avatar

@queenslight Tried that.

queenslight,

@Brynify

which software of the 1UI are you running? definitely give samsung feedback in the members app if you haven't already called them.

Brynify,
@Brynify@dragonscave.space avatar

@queenslight The latest.

@queenslight I can't get 6 beta yet

queenslight,

@Brynify

if you're a verizon customer particularly, they are very bad with beta updates when it comes to the stuff.

Brynify,
@Brynify@dragonscave.space avatar

@queenslight I am not.

queenslight,

@Brynify

well, that's a relief.

@Brynify

If ya want to remap the button to the Google Assistant instead, grab the Registar Goodlock Moduel (which also let's ya use the BackTap feature.
(Bixby Not required for that one).
