Bixby Routines | Automate your Samsung Galaxy device! Z Fold 4, Tab S8 Ultra, S22 Ultra and more!

[@Electroniczdoodz]

I’m disabled, and Bixby Routines helps me be more independent. I created a routine to create a portable light switch on my phone. To set that up: If “Button Press” = “Volume Up Long Press”, Then: Control SmartThings: Light On. Then to turn the light off, I did the same steps as mentioned earlier, but this time I used the “volume down” button, then it turns my light off. The great thing about this routine is that you can activate it without turning on your phones screen. I do have more routine ideas, which I need to test out first, then I’ll share them at a later time.

[@RADERTECH]

That's a really great routine, thanks for sharing and for stopping by and watching!

I was blown away by the Protect battery routine. Fantastic explanation!

[@RADERTECH]

Awesome, I'm glad it was useful. Thanks for watching!

[@ArquelCudia_xAMTCx]

I've been using Bixby routines for a long time and it's getting so much better!!! I also like Bixby assistant because it can do more than other assistant!!!

[@RADERTECH]

Hi, thanks for watching! It really has come a long ways, same with the assistant like you mentioned. I saw an Assistant comparison video a while back on LTT's channel, and the Bixby Assistant held up very well against the competition. I was surprised at how well it did, it's definitely improved a lot the past couple of years.

[@johnroekoek12345]

Bixby. I used or made all features already with Tasker for 10 years. Thanks for the video

[@RADERTECH]

Tasker is awesome! I plan on doing a comprehensive video on it in the near future. It really is the way to go if you want to granular with your routines. Thanks for stopping by!

[@johnroekoek12345]

@@RADERTECH Great. Tasker can be used for beginners (Bixby possibilities) to very advanced (Programmers), or make your own app. I suggest to start with the beginners. An NFC tag on your nightstand, shake for music etc.

[@richardmyracle6198]

Best explanation of Bixby Routines I have seen. I have watched 8 to 10 and learned new routines to implement. Thank you

[@RADERTECH]

Thank you so much, I really do appreciate your kindness! Thanks for stopping by and watching.

Thank you so much, your comment put a huge smile on my face! Helps keep me very motivated to put out more and more videos! I hope you're having a great weekend!

Just got an S22 Ultra and this video provided some great ideas for routines to set up. Good Lock - Routines+ is a must-have as now I can use the Touch Macro capability to play Amazon Music UHD Playlist when I leave work and launch my favorite morning Radio Station that is only available using the Audacy App when I head into work each morning automatically when phone connects to my cars Bluetooth

[@RADERTECH]

HI, thanks for stopping by! That's a great use case, thanks for sharing. They sure are helpful, I love automating stuff too, just helps make life easier for day to day stuff.

[@AqepbxVondx]

Does routines work to control app if phone is locked?

[@Hikingwithgrandmaandgrandpa]

Great video. Please help with this. IF Camera app is open and IF Hiking is being recorded (Samsung Health) THEN Audio Guide (Samsung Health) is muted. When we're recording a video while hiking the audio guide will announce "1.5 miles complete" or "Workout Paused" or "Workout Resumed". Very annoying when recording a video. Can you help?

[@RADERTECH]

Hi, thanks for watching and for the great question. I'm starting a new Q&A video series, and this question being featured in the first one. It's about to go live now, within a few minutes, and you'll notice "Weekly Q&A" in the title. Also, if that doesn't help you, let me know and help you whip up a Bixby routine for it.

[@bharatarun1720]

Hi regarding the auto wifi off shown at 0750. In the reverse action shoulnt it be wifi off? Also can u post a routine for bluetooth automatically off

[@RADERTECH]

Hi, thanks for watching! Yes, you are correct. I should have had the toggle set to the off position in the second part of the routine - great catch, thank you! For turning off bluetooth, there's 2 quick routines that come to mind. One would be IF Bluetooth Device (disconnected from device ABC) THEN turn Bluetooth Off. The second would be to use a location based routine, like the wifi one in this video. IF leaving location THEN Bluetooth off, then reverse these actions when routine ends. I'll probably do a more comprehensive guide in the near future.

[@bharatarun1720]

@@RADERTECH Hi thank a tonn for the reply. Although as I found if in the reverse option we turnoff wifi "the automatically turn off option " doesnt work (wonder why?) . I also have a few clarifications regarding the bluetooth routine with the connect to ABC device(bluetooth earbuds). I've already done initial part as under (thank to the wonderful tutorial u had done it was easy) - if - connected device turns on ( prior to this I manually. switch on my phone bluetooth) - Then - spotify open - Reverse bluetooth on (similar to what u did on the wifi thing But my doubt is regarding 2 issues - - What should be the reverse order - both on ( i.e. the on. button on and the bluetooth also on?) - Also for this routine to work I have to physically switch on the bluetooth on my phone. Is there a way that the phone automatically switches on the bluetooth moment my device ( my bluetooth buds) turn on?

[@CK90]

@@RADERTECH But, in all fairness, after watching your video, I finally discovered the setting to allow Google Assistant to do the same thing. LOL

[@firdauskusuma]

for wifi routine, you can use wifi intelligent,.. open wifi setting-3 dot on top right corner- turn on " turn wi-fi on/off automatically", no need to set routine and it more advance, it will turn on when your at home or place you already had connection before like office, or cafe, and automatic turn off when your not in that place,

[@RADERTECH]

That's a great tip, thanks for sharing!

[@bmshlomi]

I like Tasker, but Bixby Routines was all I really needed when I found it. Fantastic video as usual.

[@RADERTECH]

Howdy Chad. Bixby routines are great indeed, but Tasker really is a beast. Way too complex to explain in a short video, lol. I hope you're doing great!

[@lhmhn62]

[@sxgaston]

Did they remove it. I can't find Bixby routines under advanced features. I searched for it to and it's not there.

[@RADERTECH]

Hi, thanks for watching! If you're on One UI 5, it's moved to a new Settings panel called "Routines and Modes". It's all the same stuff, they just moved it around.

[@sxgaston]

@RADERTECH Thank you. Sadly clicking on that freezes my settings app. Just another bug on this phone. I just got this last week and its full of bugs. I'm thinking I just got a bad one and am exchanging it tonight.

[@RADERTECH]

@@sxgaston Oh wow, that certainly doesn't sound right. Which model do you have?

[@endorkugo]

Wow I just didn't even bother with bixby until this video. I didn't realise it can do that lol

[@RADERTECH]

Hi, thanks for watching! Yes, Bixby Routines are amazing. I plan on doing a more advanced tutorial in the future, this video just touched on the basic functionality. There's a lot you can accomplish with them.

I have a routine to toggle on auto rotate whenever youtube is open so that i can easily watch videos in full screen but not have it be auto rotate elsewhere

[@Gonenivitty]

Can Bixby routines be installed on low budget phones like Samsung A03?

[@RADERTECH]

Hi, thanks for watching!! Unfortunately, Bixby Routines can't be installed, they're 'baked' into your device. Only the Good Lock Routines+ helper app can be installed separately. If you're not seeing Bixby Routines when searching Settings for Bixby, it's likely a case of your phone not supporting them.

[@Gonenivitty]

Does Lock Routines + have the same functionality as Bixby Routines?

[@RADERTECH]

@@Gonenivitty No, it doesn't. I just adds some a few additional features that regular Bixby Routines doesn't have. Such as speaking out alerts and creating routine macros.

[@loumartin8851]

I used to be able to have a routine that every night at 11:30pm bixby would close all recent apps, and clear the memory. The new routines doesn't allow that. No matter where I look, there's no command to close recent apps or clear memory. If I speak those commands it works, so bixby can do it but I can no longer create a routine to do so automatically. 😢

[@RADERTECH]

Hi, thank you so much for watching! Have you tried setting up a couple Bixby Voice commands for the IF condition? I think you should be able to say and save those commands, than then execute them in the order you want. Not sure if you've tried, so throwing it out there.

Why 97% stop filling battery level vs 95% or 90%?

[@RADERTECH]

Ha ha, that's a great question! It's an inside joke thing. My fiance's favorite number is 7, so I threw in the 97% instead of using a normal rounded off number just for her. She caught it right away too. I don't know why, but dinner was extra good that night, just saying :)

You can just set a weekly alarm for that, it would be much fater. Thanks for watching!

[@hadmos855]

I don't think stopping at 97% would protect your battery at all. If that was enoguh samsung wouldn't have chosen as low as 85% by default.

[@RADERTECH]

I think it would help some, and a little bit lower would help even more, but I totally get where you're coming from. Thanks for stopping by!

[@sergebureau2225]

I am totally distracted by the ugly screen of your phone ! Clearly having reflexion from th 2 half, get a tablet and forget this ridiculous phone.

[@RADERTECH]

Ha ha ha, you're seeing reflections because there's 3 1,500 lumens youtube lights shining on it from overhead from multiple angles! I have the tab s8 Ulta and an iPad Pro - I prefer the z fold 4 over both of them. Thanks for watching!

[@sergebureau2225]

​@@RADERTECH Explain why the reflection stops in the middle of your phone even when you move it ? Go look at your video. Very good video to have people stay away from this fold gimmick. I am sorry you got tricked onto buying this greatly overpriced phone. The S22 is a much better buy.

[@RADERTECH]

@@sergebureau2225 It's not a gimmick, it doesn't show up at all in person. If it did, nobody would buy this thing, and sales are well into the millions. I can use whatever device I want, money is not an object, and I still prefer using the fold 4 over any tablet on a day to day basis. Don't get me wrong, you will see reflections if you you're not looking at it straight-on, but that's rarely the case for me personally. Try it in person before casting judgement, that's always good advice.

@@RADERTECH Try to be objective, it does not appear in your others videos. 1+ 1 =2

@@sergebureau2225 Lol. I'm getting the s23 ultra in a few months, does that make me more objective? You should use whatever device makes you happy, the s22 Ultra is a great device, no hate from this dude. Objectively, the Fold4 is actually just as good any option out there if it's right for you. It doesn't sound like it's right for you, and that's totally fine. We have options 👍
