Bixby routines Is a great and future of automated tasks I really loved and use it on the everyday lifestyle it makes sense rather commanding to Bixby for the automated tasks

[@EverydayRandom]

thanks thao for making this a good thing, actually this is the main reason why i went back to the note 10+ after using a reno 10x zoom. previously was using s10+ and have all these good things (routines) then shifted out as i usually change phones ( habit ^_^ ), then after shifting to an oppo i was trying to look for another app that can cover this app (bixby routines) unfortunately there is non, so now im back to a note 10+ (upgrade again ) to use the routines again thanks

[@everythingrewind3762]

It's actually been 2 years.

[@charlesxavier1904]

I love these deep dive into features. Too many reviewers crap in bixby but probably only used it for finding how to get somewhere and calling it a day. Keep it up Thao.

[@zerospecs2331]

Charles Xavier I actually liked it. I didn't use it ALL the time but the fact I could basically control essentially my entire phone without having to touch it (looking at you Siri) was pretty cool and useful. I never really understood the hate towards it 🤷🏽‍♀️

[@charlesxavier1904]

@@zerospecs2331 sometimes I feel it's just the reviewers. Nothing against them because it's a competitive market but, I think in order to look like the top reviewers you have to copy them a little bit and do what they do. So when someone didn't like bixby everyone jumped on it.

[@fexking6367]

You're absolutely right. I don't understand the hate on Bixby. I mean these routines are even more functional to me that the voice commands which can be a hit or miss sometimes even on Google. I rarely use voice commands even and it seems unnatural to me. I hope Samsung improves Bixby more.

[@tryzf3bz666]

I've told this for long time,, some reviewers don't even used Galaxy Phone for longtime.. Bravo Bixby!!

[@tryzf3bz666]

I like this channel so much. She truly know about her smartphone

[@Five5ths]

I've been using routines for almost a year. I set mine up to trigger based on my location by address, time of day, wifi connections, specific apps being open and/or if I have connected to Bluetooth in my car. I love walking into somewhere and never having to change anything because Bixby already has my phone the way I like. It even opens the apps that I need depending on where I am, what time it is and the day of the week. I enjoy Bixby.

[@bassplayrguy1]

Could you share some of your routines?

[@mariannesuesli5680]

yes please

[@bullcityreader6039]

I had no idea about routines until this video. Would love to hear some of your routines.

[@Five5ths]

I set a routine for going to work. The trigger is when I get it of range of my wifi. My Bluetooth turns on, Google Play Music launches and my phone switches to vibrate. At 8am when people start arriving at work another routine begins. What I need is always running, or connected and my ringer is never on when it shouldn't be or off when I want to hear it.

[@Five5ths]

@@bassplayrguy1 Routines use an IFTTT protocol. I use weak wifi Monday to Friday between 630am and 9am to turn on Bluetooth, launch apps, change lock screen shortcuts, adjust my ringer and turn off wifi. For other routines I use location to trigger on specific days of the week or connection to my car via Bluetooth. The options are great and your phone is always how you want it.

[@yairmohr]

Great video! I have a few interesting routines to share: 1. My driving mode doesn't include the read aloud part, since it doesn't work in my language, but it does open the navigation app and music app like yours. The difference is I use Bluetooth to make it trigger itself - not that I have a Bluetooth system in my car (since I don't have a car, I mainly rent). Instead I have a little gadget I plug into any car's cigar lighter socket and connects to my phone via Bluetooth (which is the trigger for Bixby to activate car mode), transmitting the audio to the car's radio through FM waves. 2. I use my WiFi connection to turn off the smart lights in one part of my house when I move to the other part, by utilizing the trigger "if WiFi power is lower than 75%, then (lights off)". 3. To avoid notifications interfering when I use the camera, I have a routine that silences them whenever I open the camera app, of the DJI Mimo app (which, in itself, is triggered every time the Osmo Mobile connects to the phone).

[@Fahad.Alabdan]

I only use two routines when I'm using youtube it turns on auto rotation and when I'm at work it set the screen brightness to 60% and turn on wi-fi and I got to say it really made the phone much easier to daily usage

[@kindofanmol]

Bixby Routines is literally LIFE CHANGING. It has endless possibilities!

[@Tech-With-Dom]

Thanks for sharing! Very useful! I’ve purchased a few NFC tags cheap on Amazon ( I think it cost my £6 for like 15 of them) and when I scan one NFC tag as I leave the bedroom when I wake up, it will turn all my devices off > Tell me the weather > Open my ToDo List. I also have one stuck to my bedside table that will turn off my main light, turn the nightlight on and put the TV on

[@awsomef2004]

One simple one ive used is to set an alarm if ive over slept in the morning 😅 super useful. (For those wondering all u have to do is to check of charging -assuming u charge over night- connected to home wifi and past 8 o clock- or whatever time u need- and then have it run a bixby quick command that switches on an alarm or setting a short timer since that might also work)

[@Gemstar_70]

Before encountering this video, I never even considered using Bixby due to all of the negative reviews I've heard/read upon. However, after learning the variety of helpful features & true functionality that Bixby offers, I opted to experiment as well as follow this video's tutorial. Now, I finally know how to use some of Bixby's routines. I also know why Samsung created Bixby in the first place & further know Samsung's main purpose, albeit Bixby isn't prefect! But at least I can now finally use all of my Samsung devices simultaneously from its complete functionality right down to its fullest capacity! Lastly, I'd like to take this opportunity to express how proud & happy I am knowing that you're a fellow Torontonian & thankfully still based in the there! Most Canadians have moved to the United States to either increase or maintain their KZbin Channel. I emphasize this proudly because, through no fault of our USA neighbours (no disrespect), but Canadian KZbinrs can sometimes get tossed aside & overlooked comparatively to American-based KZbinrs. Undoubtedly, the competitiveness can corral a challenge & sometimes viewership can dwindle because, no offense, the majority of viewers tend to favour on the side of American-based KZbinrs, who usually transcends come upon attracting viewership amongst KZbinrs from other countries. Thus, proudly I support your Channel, howbeit your video contents & creations are off-the-chart fascinating; neither diffident or boring! So thanks Thao for this awesome review & informative tutorial, exceptionally aplomb!

[@cedricesser7680]

That's so huge! As a life time Apple guy, switched to the Samung eco system this year, this is... pew... more that mega huge! LOVE.IT. Thank you so much for this deep dive 🙌🏼

[@annreinbeau]

I love Bixby routines. I use them to silence my phone when I'm at work or at massage, and then to manage power and notifications at night. They work well! You've got a couple here in going to explore. Since the Android 10 update I keep having to enter my pin despite having trusted devices on (Active 2) or being at a trusted location. Maybe Bixby can help until they fix it.....

[@tanmaywho]

It's been a while since I watched video with this much info. Thanks it helped a lot and now I am gonna make some routines.

[@King-zo4vv]

I love Bixby routines fr, that thing saves me from my teachers who hate phones ringing in class, anytime “my school routine” is running, it’s just awesome, I don’t need to start doing stuffs myself, IT JUST WORKS

[@barleyhops6851]

I love Bixby Routines, it's definitely my favorite Bixby feature. I had a few set up, but this video gave me some ideas to expand upon that - the routine for headphones/earphones being connected is genius! Great video as always!

[@teamglockworx]

I really like Bixby for the"quick commands" which is basically routines but you trigger them using your specified voice commands. Using the Bixby button saves having to save you from having to say a activation phrase. I can open the garage and disarm security stuff by saying "Open Sesame", or any number of routines using phrases I think are clever or badass.Using IFTTT, macrodroid, Tasker, and Unified you can build some really interesting routines then triggered by Bixby quick commands, hand gestures at camera, geo fences has some using the force type novelty Then tie things down with constraints that will make it a level more difficult for athe unauthorized to spoof. Bixby on the latest Samsung phones is pretty cool as a universal remote, and trigger to make your al the other stuff like devices and apps more fun and work better. For my less tech proficient parents who I got to transition to Bixby I sprinkle some voice commands that are easy for them to remember and make stuff easier to use. everything from consolidating text, voice, email, calendar to audio briefings and senior proofing the phone. They don't have to worry about settings, how to find and do things in apps. ust ht the bixbybutton and tell the phone what yo want the TV, phone, computer, or whatever to do. Even have routines to automate trouble shooting steps like closing down programs, restarting or otherwise doing the stuff they might call me for help for.

[@katalystkatapatheticalyssa5987]

You can do other things like location-based actions, have the phone do specific things when you unlock it (if you have multiple prints registered). Right Thumb = Unlock Left Thumb = Unlock phone and start Morning Routine Etc...

[@darkvader125]

my favorite one is read out notifications and charging edge lightning and calls the edge lightning

I can never forget the "Gassy butts" video but girl your videos are great. Quality is good. Effort is good. Doesn't hurt to see a beautiful face to a tech video.. You got yourself a subscriber.. 🙂

my favourite feature on my S10+ is Bixby routines: change sound mode, wifi and mobile data settings when im at home or at work, unlock device at home, or blue light filter+DND when open my reading app, etc...

[@uniquevictor5316]

Routines is able to Start an App(in specified time/conditions). But it DOES NOT Stop/Close Apps. There are conditions for Starting apps but No conditions to Stop/Close them. That Sucks 😐😭

[@adegbenroagoro5180]

Great video Thao . I truly enjoy watching your clips. You've motivated me to finally take a serious look at Bixby 🙂. You were my 2019 Tech KZbinr Of the Year 🙂

[@thatdude5104]

I have a Galaxy Note 9, but dont use an Samsung account, so every Bixbybutton click opens it up. I now have disabled Bixby completely, so pressing the button does nothing. For these easy functions and shortcuts I use IFTTT (If this then that), which can also be used on other Android devices. It has similar functionality.

[@mistermajesty9239]

You deserve 1 million subs❤❤👏👏

[@emptyunicorn384]

I second that

[@MegasXLR]

I'm using Tasker since early 2013 when I had my furst Android phone - the S3 Mini. As I don't plan to root my Note9 when I get it Bixby Routines (or Routines from GoodLock if Bixby's aren't added to Android 10 for the Note9) is perfect! That's a feature every single phone should have built-in.

[@Zerotwostudio]

Instead of button toggles, I use location, wi-fi, bluetooth connection or time instead. So the routines will on/off automagically. Very convenient! For screen on time I just say 'set the screen on for XX minutes/seconds'. Those who don't use Bixby are missing a lot. Bixby + Google Assistant made Samsung phones WAY superior than iPhone in terms of assisting your day.

[@Hades69777]

I love that mechanical keyboard, but I can't afford it know 😂😭 maybe in a couple weeks, I really love it the way it looks like a old school keyboard

What "IF" you don't have any schedule's? As retired? Or up till early hours and no bedtime hours? I do have pre Routines setup on my Bixby button for driving, ie navigation, bt on for car, brightness ect.

[@diamondrose3242]

My favorite widgets I've made are for when I leave the house and when I return home. Leaving the house, my media volume is automatically set to 0%, and my sound profile is set to vibrate. I hate going into public (doctors, work, attempting to connect my BT...) and forgetting that my sound is on. My wifi is also auto-set to off unless I'm in a known place. When I return home, everything above is undone. Voila!

[@Systolic120mmHg]

How do you get these routines on the edge screen?!?!?!?!?!?!

[@carl_oak]

I basically don't switch on and off data, WiFi, rotate, Bluetooth etc just because of Bixby routines. I remember when I use to use tasker to automate the smartphone and it wasn't even close of what Bixby can do. Thanks for the video! You showed a really interesting way of using Bixby routines in apps edge!

[@m.d.reynolds4022]

Until I viewed this video, I had not planned on using Bixby. You've opened my eyes to what I was going to miss out. Thank you.

[@livealldaydrew]

@thao how did you add it to the edge panel? I have the note 10 + can't figure it out

[@BC-2020LT]

I use Bixby routines! One for when my bluetooth connects to my car, it automatically turns media volume all the way up. I also have one for when I arrive at my office, it turns phone to mute and office wifi on. I have one for when Maps or Waze is open to turn location on and have location off otherwise

[@JuniorCodi]

I'm looking for a way to make my notifications silent ONLY when there's audio playing (from any source, be it youtube, podcasts, etc). I'm using the APP OPENED condition, but I don't want them to be silent while the app is OPEN, I just want it for when they're actually playing something.

[@dervishancetinkaya8294]

Hi thao thx about your videos. They are wery helpfull 👍🏻👍🏻 I have question. How can i add to bixby routines at he edge panel?

[@charliecharliewhiskey9403]

I remember a few years ago having to write RFID chips and stick them all over the place to get anywhere near this kind of functionality to be consistent. It was annoying though because I couldn't easily get out of "Car mode" if I was at someone else's house, and so ended up having to carry an RFID on a chain just to switch back when needed. RFID is cool but you're limited by having physical stuff all over the place, or carrying a keyring of labelled pads.

I used it for a while and noticed that it consumes alot battery, Also have you tried any routines on location based instead of manual toggle

What I'm wondering is if these routines drain battery, since for example if you set up a location routine, doesn't it constantly check where you are, which should drain more battery?

[@shubhamjohri290]

The separate sound routine is useful when you are listening to music or watching content on OTT using a Bluetooth device, so that you don't get unnecessary notification beeps in Bluetooth audio. But at present, you can only separate the sound of one app when in reality there are a couple of OTT and music apps that people use daily...this needs to expand

[@JSmith73]

I'm impressed with your ideas. I've just started using them on my S21 Ultra, combined with Android 12 I've eg got Fast charging on until 50% then normal to the new 85% cap - this really helps with battery life. Also just added one to turn 5G off at home. The Routines side bar and eg disable screen timeout is great, will be adding this myself.

Hi! I'm planning to get an S10+ or Note 10 in a couple of months (as my trusty LG G4 is about to get retired after 4.5 years of use), and this video was really informative for me about the routines. But there is one thing I wasn't able to test out at the store and didn't find any info about: can I make Bixby to process chain commands? The particular case in my mind is: for example when I'm driving, I don't want to fiddle with the phone if someone calling me. I'd like to say something like "hey bixby, answer the phone and put it on the speaker!". That would be useful. But can bixby do this? Or is there a routine setup, that makes the phonecalls automaticly on the loudpseaker?

[@digididog2661]

Yes you can do it. You could also set up quick command for routing.like if you say:battery low or good night or whatever word you want to use you can choose what actions start to take in place in the routing whenever you say the word that you choose
