Go to Galaxy Apps, search for Bixby Home and look at the Most Recent reviews. For the most part they're terrible. I'd recommend Google Assistant. I've been using it for a while since getting a smart speaker that also uses it. Does everything (?) Bixby is supposed to do and it's terrific. My married daughter (yeah I'm not young) also uses it. She said: "Hey Google add coffee to my shopping list." It did. She didn't even have a shopping list. It created one, and put coffee on it.

You can't install Bixby from Galaxy Apps. You must install it from internet by dowloading files and doing some long things. Maybe u installed a chinese version of Bixby.

I didn't say you could. I simply said that the reviews there are, for the most part, terrible.

I haven't even tried to install an English version, much less the Chinese one. Why would I when the reviews are, for the most part, terrible, and all I know about Chinese (Mandarin) is the words for beer and thank you (I got by on the essentials when I was there...).

You didn't catch what I was referring to with "chinese version". I was saying about non-original version of Bixby. Try Bixby witn a S8/S9/N8/N9 and you'll change your mind. Trust me.

Unless I'm much mistaken this forum is for the Galaxy A5 2017. That's what I'm using. I'm unlikely to buy an S8/S9/N8/N9 just to see whether all the people who give Bixby terrible reviews are wrong.
and you'll change your mind.

It's not my mind that needs to change. It's the minds of all the people who give it terrible reviews. As I say I haven't even tried to install it. I have Google Assistant on my phone and a smart speaker and it's terrific.

This is what Samsung say:
* Currently available with Galaxy Note9/S9/S9+/Note8/S8/S8+.​https://www.samsung.com/global/galaxy/apps/bixby/
So the answer is: No. It doesn't work on the A5.
There is a terrific ROM for the A5 2017 developed by Corsicanu which incorporates many features of the S8. This is what he says re Bixby Voice on A5 2017:
About bixby voice, samsung changed some things in Oreo, probably to be sure we can't use it anymore on non bixby devices, so it will never work properly for 2 reasons:
- this rom keeps the device props of A8, A8 doesn't have bixby voice so bixby voice doesn't show up at all;​https://forum.xda-developers.com/sa...srom-stock-t3779567/post77449715#post77449715

We're not told what these 'long things' are.
On the other hand you can simply install Google Assistant:
Hey Google: Add coffee to my shopping list
Hey Google: What's the weather forecast?
Hey Google: Remember that I parked on the first floor of the car park in space 345.
Hey Google: Where did I park my car?
You told me you parked on the first floor of the car park in space 345
Hey Google: What's two beers please in Mandarin?
Want that in writing? No problem:
请两瓶啤酒
Handles over 100 languages. Going abroad? Got data or wi-fi? Think about it...
Forget about 'dowloading files and doing some long things'. Google Assistant is terrific.

Yeah I know that Google Assistant is good. But I used bixby a lot on this phone and trust me, it can do a lot of things. Anyway If you want so choose bixby voice than use a supported phone. Now I'm switching to iPhone with Siri. So I don't care anymore about this Voice Assistant Battle Royale like Google Assistant, Bixby, Amazon echo etc...

Toshiba Voice Translation Software on TP2?

I was on CrunchGear a short while ago and I seen a video with the new Toshiba TG-01 running this cool software on there Windows Mobile phone that I hope can be ported b/c it's a very good app that can be useful in so many ways!! It's a voice translation software and I know I've seen mentions of this software wanted plenty of times on XDA!!
Here's the Link to it in action:
http://www.crunchgear.com (Under the video it's the 7 video to the right)
Hope someone with the phone can port it and cab it up for all of us to use!!!
WOW no ones interested in this at all??? very surprised!!!
I thought for sure people would jump on this... cause in all actuality we all can use this app in one form or another!! I really hope it gets ported!!!

Dude !!! I'm with you.....I'd give my left arm to get this app on the TP2........and I'm left-handed !!!!!!
wow! really? lol why not use the google translation software? the difference is that you type....
I would love to have this on my Tilt 2, if you're traveling on another country, no one is going to wait for you to type in google then translate and them figure out how to pronouce the translation!
I cant find the video you speak of. I went to Videos of CES, and the 7th one is about a motorola. Where the hell is this video?
EDIT- here is a link to some videos and its called "Toshiba Dynapocket". http://www.wmexperts.com/meet-toshiba-dynapocket-x02t-cameo-quentin-tarantino
http://www.toshiba-ad.jp/dynapocket/x02t/ <-- look here
I would assume that since its built off the Toshiba platform, that if we can somehow get a ROM from Japan, someone can extract it?
There are some other programs that do the same thing. Don't know how good any of them are.
Speereo Voice Translator
ECTACO Voice Translator
Avatar28
The latter one is discontinued.
Speereo Voice Translator is actually 16-language phrasebook with approx. 4000 phrases and idioms in each language. You can't just press the button and say a phrase though, you should pick the proper category first (like, "City", "Taxi").
SVT is bundled with several useful utilities, including size&measure converter, currency calculator, weather app, flight status app, e.t.c. to be all-in-1 solution for travelers.
I am very interested in this app for Tilt2.
Thank you
I'm glad to see this getting some attention finally!!! I think if we can get our hands on this software it could prove to be very useful and helpful!! I wish we knew someone who could get there hands on the rom at least... IDK but I hope this software lands here on xda for all of us to use!!!
c'mon guys this XDA how come we've yet to get this app?? and xda even has the phone on the site!!! this apps so cool!!
-MRFERRARI23
Hey man I checked all the japanese websites about the TG01 and X02T. TG01A has dictionaries but not voice translation...
There is no mention of the toshiba voice software in their data-sheet or roms.
I think you will be disappoint to know that software was only demoed during ces2009.

This is what makes S Voice special

So many people/blogs all keep saying its just a copy of Siri or that voice command is useless. But what's new is that this is active all the time. E.g. You can answer a call, snooze alarm etc with just voice and no need to start an app.
AFAIK this is a first. So many things can be done and it will only get better.
Is it really completely handsfree???
Thats what I also thought when samsung described the S-voice.
But then after watching all the videos, I reckon its not completely handsfree.
For example for the lock screen, you need to first press the power button or home button to get the screen on, and then say the command to unlock it.
Correct me if I am wrong.

i was wondering this and they made it sound like its completely hands free but that would be too good to be true probably unless it affects battery...

Not any longer...starting today, Vlingo servers are denying requests from the S-Voice app not installed on an SGS3. It was fun while it lasted... fortunaltely, flipboard isn't doing the same.

fair enough. but this is funny because reminds me a bit of apple - and how they said siri will only be on the 4S because the artificial intelligence algorithm requires at least a dual-core processor and what not. next thing you know it gets hacked and runs flawlessly on an iphone 2g
i would say, it's good, that the device has a lock-screen mode too, because when i have it in my pocket, i'm not interrested in starting programs or calls
but the S Voice will be for sure an awesome feature - i hope it will work for all languages fine
and about using it on different devices - i would imagine, that it could end in a developer <-> producer ping-pong same like siri?!

This would also explain why it Says something about network and not doing anything on the wifes Nexus, as I was sure it was working before
Has anyone tried to change their build prop to mirror GSIII ? and see if it works then, I would but the wife would have fit if I messed with her's
it is a shame it doesn't work anymore on my One X, but I don't blame Samsung for disabling it. I'm about to throw down $700 on this phone so I want it to keep its exclusives as much as possible haha.
Other than that, I would feel bad for all those people that worked together to integrated it only for it to get pirated.

Bixby voice uk

Hi people just thought i would see how you are getting on with Bixby voice.
I'm liking it so far but there are a few hick ups like when i say call mum it spells it as mom no matter how many times i try and say it so it can't find the contact.
It's terrible for me on my 8+ no mater what I do to try and get it to wake up using "Hi Bixby" it doesn't, it doesn't even hear me now when I try to rerecord my voice [emoji19] and I can't get it to wake up from locked using bixby without pressing the bixby button so at the moment for me it's useless [emoji19]

Yeah i have that trouble as well takes me 3 or 4 tries to get Bixby up i think when it UK English comes it be better

Bixby voice is the single most terrible voice control app I've ever had the misfortune to use. You would think it would equal google voice at least. But no, it's utter ****e.

How to enable Bixby Voice Full on non-rooted Samsung S7 Edge?

I have seen many videos on youtube enabling them to use audio commands in Bixby. Does anyone know of this possibility, if so please share , thank you!
Anyone?
**crickets **
Do you want to post links to the videos you mention? That would help people see what you're trying to achieve. AFAIK Bixby is a feature built into the new Touchwiz roms post S8, I'm running the latest official Nougat on my S7E and it's not present.

Try contacting the person who posted the video. Bixby isn't really a feature people want on XDA, most of us much prefer Assistant so you won't have much luck here especially without root.
that video post by Tamirda. one of the xda member here. and his phone is rooted. So nothing you can do on your non-rooted phone.
but who knows if this video might help you out...

Bixby Voice TURMOIL
It will be great if XDA reviews Samsung's Bixby Voice services, as they are the most annoying and started to make me sick. It is in the market for more than a year now, but Samsung doesn't know itself who has and who does not have. So far the Russian standard phones did not have this service, but recently I bought for my daughter SG S10+ Russian standard, and LO it had it, mine is SG S9+ and so far it does not have it. How to you explain this issue? I wrote to Samsung Members twice and did not get any clarifications from them. It drives me mad that with all the fame and glory Samsung has, this is a shameful issue for the company. Since SG S4 I am a faithful Samsung fan, but should I be anymore? It will be great to grill them for this.

Googless ROM

Ive tried searching, but cannot find if there is a ROM for the S5 that blocks all google back ground services from reporting on you, whatever info it may be. Ive seen the rumor of the company selling their refurb phones with a custom ROM on it, but at ludicrous prices, and cant even find them at all. Im going to be getting an S5 from a friend soon and want to start stripping it of the fluff and google services if at all possible.
I don't know of any custom ROMs that include Google services by default. Just don't install GApps.
OK, thanks.

Pardon the stupid questions, im a Windows user and having to investigate the possibility of being forced to move if they dont fix Cortana's voice command (she only does searches when you give her a command) and Interests have been turned off for a while with no warning or reason, but there is a message on a 8.1 phone as to why.
Anywho, how do you load apps if you dont have Gapps/google services? Can you side load them, but where do you get up to date ones if not from the Play store? Is it worth using a free S5 or plunking for a One Plus 6T or 7 or Nokia 8?
