That'd be great, it really would. But they're outperforming expectations.
Your message app is probably not supported yet. It seems like Stock messages and Whatsapp is only supported at the moment, based on the list under My Bixby Voice apps and services.
Now that the Note 8 unveiling is official for late August, just curious, has there been any reports of exploding s8's?
I feel like I haven't seen or read about a single one...?

My Bixby voice volume is really low, even though the volume is 100% on all levels. Anyone know why this might be?? I can just barely hear it.
Here you go, straight from sammy community forums.
Click the Bixby button on the side of phone then once it pulls up on the upper righr corner your gonna wanna click on the Bixby B then once you done that look on that upper right corner and click the speaker to adjust volume
Oh I wasn't aware they would offer support to other messaging apps. Thats pretty great.
I've had Bixby for about 3 days and thus far I think it's competitive. All the main tasks I would also perform on Siri, Alexa and Google assistant get done without issue.
It also now sheds light on the need of a independent hardware button. From a user experience perspective it makes Bixby easy to find and activate, and also doesn't interfere with the home button being dedicated to Google Assistant so I have an actual choice depending on what I need done.
The Bixby button surprisingly feels good to use. Something about holding it down and talking to it makes it feel very natural; sort of like a walkie talkie. The more I use it, the more I like it.
Walkie talkie sounds cool. Keep on posting your experiences with Bixby. I'm hanging back from using it but I enjoy living vicariously through you all.
My fps wasn't working at all today. I tried rebooting. I tried cleaning it with a soft cloth. Finally I added another print profile and it works about 50/50. Sigh. My guess is that I have been swimming almost every day and got an extra wrinkle or two on my print. Otherwise I can't think why this would be happening.

I think things like remembering where the car is parked is useful (I don't have GPS in my car) also I lien the idea of being able to unlock my phone with a voice password. Those were the ones that stood out to me but it seems to be quite responsive overall.
That was what I was about to say, it could be your index fingers are hard to read. Did you try testing another person's fingers on your device?
I get almost zero failure rate.
Setting up the FPS was a nightmare as it took a while to register my finger enough to put on the system. After registered though I never seem to have any issues unlocking with it. I've also got quite comfortable with its position the more I've used it
Anyone use Google Drive on their S8? When creating a new Google Docs file on the iPhone I would be prompted to name the file before starting. But on the S8 I'm not asked to name the file, nor can I name it at any point while creating it. The only way to name it is to save the file, then search for "unnamed document" then rename that file (which is a serious pain in the butt to go through). Anyone know why this is happening? Why can't I name a new document in Google Drive on the S8?
I'll test with my husband's print when he gets back from his business trip. I was getting almost perfect results for a long time, then the sensor started going wonky so I registered my print all over again with multiple records of the same print and it again worked fine for a fairly long spell before this most recent flakeout.
I have gone and deleted all the old records and made new ones and it's working well again but not as flawlessly as before. I guess I am one of those people who will need to refresh my print profiles from time to time. That used to be the case with all my iPhones until my 7 Plus.
I got rid of most of the lagging I was seeing in apps with a plain old reboot. But the camera is still pokey.
One more observation: on my iPhone the "autofill" feature (like adding my name or phone number or email address) would work everywhere, regardless of the app I was in. On the S8 I've noticed that the autofill feature only works sometimes, in certain apps. I'm not loving that, it was a very convenient feature on the iPhone.
That's very tempting. I'm waiting to see what the Pixel brings to the table. If I knew for sure the rumors were true about minimal changes to the smaller one, I'd purchase the S8 tomorrow.

Have you found yourself using both?
Those prices are crazy. The cheapest deal in the UK is around £620 (around $805). Do those prices include taxes?
