Bixby button Animation - Samsung Galaxy S9 Questions & Answers

Hey... Before I disabled Bixby using package disabler and using bxActions to remap the Bixby button, I noticed a cool animation of smoke coming out of the Bixby button when I pressed it. I kind of loved that animation. After restoring all the apps and the button, that animation seems to be missing. I checked all the settings but can't seem to find the problem. How do I restore that smoke animationThanks.

I only used Bixby maybe one or two times but I don't remember seeing that animation.

hmmm... That's a shame. I looked as if a genie was coming out of the button. Sigh...

Well I just enabled 100% of Bixby, rebooted the phone, checked through every single setting possible and there was still no smoke animation either pressing or holding the bixby button
I never saw one when I got the phone either, so either it was in an earlier firmware version, or earlier bixby version, or you are mistaken

toke less Bixby less,:silly:

Lumia 900 Camera Button not waking phone

I'm not new to windows phone, but the Camera Button is not waking up the device on my new Lumia 900. I double checked and have the exact same settings set up on my HTC Surround, which is working correctly.
Anyone else have this problem or solution?
Thanks,
Mine doesn't do it either. I just assumed it was designed that way.

It should most definitely. How long do you hold down the camera button for?

No, it is not. Microsoft is very pround of the fact that press the camera button can wake up any WP7 phone in any state (other than shutdown) and launch camera app automatically. Try hold the camera button for a few seconds.

this worked for me, i think people are just stoping halfway when they hit the focus click
EDIT: mine only works sometimes
I've tried holding it down for a few seconds, longer than my Surround. I think it's a hardware issue. However, it does work with the lock screen in place. Just not at full sleep.

You got a point. Holding the camera button down does not work for me. Press, release and press again does. I wonder if theres a setting for that
I can also confirm that it does not work every time. I have to unlock and re-lock, shut off for it to work again. Hope this is fixable in a firmware update.

If the phone has been asleep for a while, it does not work. No matter how many times I depress the camera button and no matter how long it's depressed, it does not work.
It only works if the phone has recently gone to sleep and even then I have to hit it twice sometimes. IDGAF really, doesn't matter to me....

confirmed
Ok tried rebooting, changing camera button settings and it still doesn't work. Plus with others having the same issue I'm pretty sure it's a defect. Just giving up on the issue isn't a solution so I'll contact Nokia (God knows ATT won't help) and get back here with the results.
Keep in mind this was a selling point - "Smoked by Windows"
Guys... try pressing the button all the way in with some force. It should work. Seems they designed it so it will not accidently get turned on by mistake.

Ummmm... I feel like "EPIC FAIL!!!", but that worked . Just wasn't use to that with my Surround.
I figured it out
If you press, release, press, release, then press and hold for 2-3 seconds, the camera will start up from a fully closed state.
Mine works every time. No matter how long its been asleep.
I don't have one lol

trick with that camera button wake up: push it fast and hard.
from playing with two wp phones i've owned, i think it's because of the difference between focus press (no wake) and shutter press (wake). problem is they are two stages of the same button. the phone tells the user intent apart by measuring the time from passing first stage of button press (focus) to arriving at bottom of the press (shutter). if it's shorter than a particular value, it wakes the phone. that means you have to press it firm enough to get to the bottom of the press, and fast enough to beat that timer.
if you just press it lightly, it either doesn't get to the shutter stage at all, or doesn't get there fast enough.
it's a bit dumb, because you kinda have to slam that button hard. on the other hand, you don't want to accidentally wake the phone.
Quick press seems to work. Hopefully they fix the timing so it's easier. The Samsung Focus timing was good, and worked every time.

Getting to recovery

I thought booting when holding VolDown along with Power key would take me to Recovery/Bootloader screen, but no, my HTC One just bots up the phone normally.

Yes I was, but I never saw three droids anywhere.
Anyhow, I just tried again for about the twentieth time in the last three says, and succeeded. Thanks!

[Q] S6 Edge refuses to power on.

Hello, I've been using the T Mobile S6 Edge since the day it came out not had a single issue with it. Well today I unplugged it and used it for about two hours straight (browsing reddit in bed). I then turned the screen off and went to make a coffee, pulled the phone out to dial a number and nothing. Pressed home, pressed power, pressed and held home and power and power and volume up. Nothing. Just put it in the charger and no response. The heck is going on? Any help would be appreciated, Thanks.
Go to a tmobile store and exchange it. Same thing happened to a friend of mine.

OK I took the phone to tmobile after troubling shooting and as soon as I handed it to the guy he presses power and it booted right up... Like wut. I'm still puzzled as to how it happened and he didn't even have an answer for me I just hope it doesn't thappen again.

Next time, hopefully there won't be a next time, this happens, try putting the phone in the download mode. Turn off the phone and press volume down, home, and power. Then press volume down not up to restart your phone.

OK I'll try that since that may have been the only button combination I didn't try. Thanks for the tip.
This happened to me also...Couldn't do anything with phone...Couldn't put in download mode or anything. .
Went to tmobile and needed my receipt so headed back home and then it turned on without doing anything

Yeah, what you're describing happened to me the other day. At first, I thought my battery died or something but ruled that out. Holding the power button didn't work so I figured I would put it in the download mode and restart that way. I've had this happen to me on rare occasions with other Android devices I've owned so I don't think it's unique to this particular device. It's just weird and kinda scary.
Cheers for the tip Vanessaem :good: My S6 refused to switch on & on my old phone S2 I used to just remove & re~instore the battery & switch it back on, but obviously we can't do that with the S6 so I was confused So I tried your button combination :victory:
For future reference, Vol Down and power for about 10sec will force a power down.

Change Home/Fingerprint button behavior

I just got a HTC10 to upgrade from the M9 I had, and so far, I'm liking it, even with the stock ROM (but rooted with Sprint bloatware frozen), but one thing I haven't been able to figure out is the home/fingerprint button behavior. If I'm at the home screen and I press it, I don't have a huge issue with it bringing up all the screens for me to pick which one I want (but long press for it would be better), but I find it annoying that when I am in an app and press it, it takes be to the screen where I have to select which page I want, rather than to the last one I was on. Is there a way that I am overlooking to change this behavior?

I think you mean the multitask button rather than the home button, and if you double press it it switches back to the previous app.

I think you are correct... but why why should I have to press the button once to get where I need a few more presses to get where I want or press it once plus still need few more presses to get where I want? Is there any way to change this misbehavior?
I guess you could say my annoyance with this (mis)behavior is related to muscle memory... Every other Android phone I've had would take you to your last 'home' page when you pressed the similar button.. This one is (mis)behaving differently from every other phone I've had... It woudl be really nice to change it.
FWIW, I was finally able to change the behavior of the home/multi-function/fingerprint button - by ditching the HTC ROM for LinageOS 14.1. Better battery life, no sprint junk, seems to run better overall and I can actually assign different ringtones or sounds to different contacts. For whatever reason, that option seemed to be absent on the HTC ROM.
I still don't get what behavior you mean? Or do you mean that when you press the home button you are taken to the standard home screen, instead of for example the app drawer or another home screen page? Quite confusing what you mean

Question Power Button Issue

I cannot find any remedy to the issue I am having, so starting a new thread. I just updated my phone to OOS 11.2.8.8. When I used to short press my power button, it would just put my screen to sleep like normal and when I would long press, it would bring up the power screen to power off, reboot, etc. Now after the update, when I short press the power button it brings me to that power screen. Long pressing and short pressing almost seem to be consolidated into one action.
Anyone else have this issue or every have this issue happen before? I cannot for the life of me figure out a solution. Have tried rebooting, wiping cache, re-installing the recent update, changing the press and hold power button option over to voice assistant and back. Any ideas?
Thanks!
It's a combination of modules in magisk causing the issue. I've seen other people in the tpd thread talk about it. Not sure which ones though

Yup, that's exactly what it was. Removed the app throttling module and all is working normally. Thank you!!
