Bixby no longer functioning after Oreo update?

[DrNipz]

After flashing Oreo into my S8+ (SM-G955FD) Via Odin, I've noticed that my Bixby wake-up command has completely killed itself, I've also received the new update that was rolled out a day or two ago, which is what I was waiting for before posting regarding it here; I know that many do not really care about Bixby but it happened to be quite useful to me, especially because I have to set Google Assistant as my "Default Assistant App" in order for its voice commands to work unlike Bixby but that's for my own personal preference, so I've tried to clear data on every Bixby applications and re-doing all of the voice training, it didn't do the job however there is something I've noticed when I attempt to get Bixby by voice command, in the notification tray there is a notification of Bixby indicating that it's supposedly waking up (Screenshot is included.)

So that's all I have, if anyone can assist me on how this can be resolved, I'd really appreciate.. Nobody else has complained about this issue and I don't know if that's whether if people don't care or perhaps this is ONLY ME, which worries me so please, thank you in advance.

Whoops.

Seems like I cannot post images yet, but It's practically the new Oreo functionability which shows any applications that "display over screen".

Bumppp

SO DONE.

I guess nobody really cares about this but I am as desperate as ever but I guess I'll have to go on without Bixby until they give another update which I don't know how long it might take, I've talked to several Samsung support agents and all I've got from them is stupid normie solutions that'll make you question how they got the job for that position, the "turning it off and on" meme is real and so annoying because they do not understand and will not even try to understand the issue and go on with their automated solutions that probably only help old white people trying to understand technology and apparently the support fails to tell them apart, I am absolutely livid after this horrible experience with Samsung, after hours of trying to make them understand, one understood and understood it so much that he realized he cannot help me at all and said that this is so technical that I'll have to either wait for an update which may or may not fix this or literally throw away my phone aka go get it replaced under warranty which is totally absurd.

I have the same problem, bixby just wont wake up, the icon pops on notification bar then disappears. Still cant find a solution
Edit: wirdly enough i just called it and it responded everything is working well, i dont know if its because of the CRB7 update. It just worked on its own

I have done enough research on my own phone and the only moment Bixby voice has worked for me is when I reboot and keep saying "Hi Bixby" and it will suddenly work for at least 5-10minutes depending on what triggers it to not work, and I can't seem to figure what does that, because this has to do with some other software interrupting Bixby to show over screen because it's obviously reacting to you when you say Hi Bixby in the notification bar, so please let me know if it's working fine for you now regardless?

Update : Bixby Voice just received a new update 1.0.19.10, and yet it has not fixed the issue for me and I have also realized that Bixby works perfectly when in Safe mode so it could be a third-party app interfering as well.

Could be, try messing with overlay permitions and administrator.

I have fixed as it seems so far.. I started to uninstall unwanted apps to any suspicious apps, and I do not know which one but if you have any shady apps such as WPS testing app or anything related to such uninstall, anyways here is what I did; SafeMode>Settings>Device Assistant > Select none > then boot into normal > wait for Bixby to work > go into device assistant> pick Google back as assistant. That's all I did.

Okay, I was wrong after almost 24hours of using my phone with Bixby working it has suddenly again stopped working after I updated some apps on the PlaysStore, this issue seems very complex with no logic behind it, it's quite annoying..

I honestly think your in a better situation than most.
I do not know of any one who likes BIXBY.

 

[LiquidT]

I do like bixby.
I'm don't seem to have any real problems with bixby on Oreo. I problem I have is try to create quick commands.
If I say "Hi Bixby" it will open,
Then I can say Open "xda" and it will open.
Now say I want to go to the subscribed threads in the app.
with the app opened, I say "Hi Bixby" go to subscribed threads. It will not do it, but with the app opened I can press the bixby key and say subscribed threads and it will go to the threads. why?

Question, did you flash all the files included in the update?
Reson i asked is because i had the same issue, i got in touch with samsung, but after getting into my phone and not fixing the issue, i remembered i had omited one of the files in the update, (i think i missunderstood a post or something), i reflashed ALL the files in the update, aparently it did not work, but then i went into apps 3 dots show system apps, from the list of apps i located ALL the Bixby apps i counted 6, got into Storage and cleared the data from all 6, i restarted, bixby and it worked.

 

[Matt__BB]

No clue I disabled it

 

[TalonJH]

I finally received the Sprint Oreo update I'm having the same problem so it's probably not a problem with you flashing it. I usually use a combination of Bixby and Google Assistant.

Edit: If you wipe cache partition, it will work again but then stop.

 

[tnbx]

I have the same exact problem

I have the same exact problem

I have figured out how to resolve this without factory reset, please look for my thread on r/GalaxyS8, my username is the same as here.

Turning off microphone permissions on some apps did the trick ??????

Just wanna share a way to remap the Bixby button without "calling" the Bixby app , it just needs adb permissions with a command no root needed ???
