Now brief - so useless!!!

[London2tim]

why make something so useless - then brag about it - and then never do anything with it
at least in the UK - with all the features ticked on - i only get weather, calendar and some watch insights - 
like who even uses this feature and for what?
thought this new S/U would improve it but neah!!!

I personally don't have much use for it yet. But I imagine as time goes on, it will become more useful. I know a few have managed to get it to work somehow for live sport results.

Currently, I see weather, calendar, and recommended songs from Spotify.

It may be worth going to the Samsung Members app, support/feedback.

There was hype from the community, which made many think the update was for the brief—it wasn't. Hopefully, they add more soon.

Samsung 'Never do anything with it'.

The phone and software came out a month ago. You are right that it is lacking some integration with other phone functions just now... but it will be improved.

I do get sports updates... mainly because you need to go into google sports and enable who you are following.

A little patience with a phone and software in its first month would not go amiss.

You can disable it for the meantime if you prefer. Some have done this.

a) is not normal to brag about a feature so much - and then one month AFTER the phone is out - still has no real life usage - this trend of phone manufacturers launching products with features that WILL WORK at some point is getting a big silly - either is ready at launch or not - then don't talk about it 

b) i follow tons of football teams - and never got any live notifications (also i think you're confusing now brief with now live activities but i can understand why - both are useless in many ways)

c) now bar - live activities - sure i get samsung timer, maps, recording, phone, but not live score or live anything

d) now brief - which is completely different only get weather, calendar, watch insights and very rare - maybe spotify/youtube music and/or photo collage - when you check and see 20+ options ticked on but only get the same 3-4 updates is really silly - also they need to make them more useful 

it tells me i have a meeting today at 4pm in central london - okay so? tell me how to get there, give me traffic updates, tfl line status - like actual info that is useful and saves me time from going into each app to check

as for holidays/travel - havent had one mention of them like flight status, hotel reservation etc

there is a HUGE potential here but totally missed - also notification summary would  be nice - was that abandoned? 

i have been with samsung for 10_years and one thing i noticed is they often hype about stuff at launch and then it just fizzles out and ends up dying in a year or two....

sending reports to samsung - ditto - all i get is will look into if we think is worth looking into it

i really have to say a lot of the reason why i bought s25 was this NEW ASSISTANT - so far - a total waste - so false advertisement samsung??

[smiley]

Fair enough... I do understand some of your points. I still think you are expecting everything very soon after the new release, and actually most s25 users are still aware of some bugs with oneui7... this of course still in Beta at the moment the all the other phones. Yes samsung released the s25 with a released version of oneui7... but with a few bugs.

You bought a new phone primarily for a new assistant ? Really ?

Anyhow... like you I am hoping to see some improvement over the next month or two with some of these functions.

Didn't buy it for that reason alone but it was an appealing proposition but so far that's all it is

Now brief is designed to be personal to you and will only get better over time as more third party apps hop on to it.

I guess I'm the only one who likes it and actually gets more stuff on it then others .😊

Also it kinda changes what it shows throughout the day.

Now brief and aod and lift to wake all disabled for me

[London2tim]

Maybe you're one of the lucky few for whom Samsung enabled this 😂

[GoanGeek]

Maybe ❤..

I would actually recommend people to leave it ON.

As if it is really based on AI it would need to learn your habits to give you the brief. Turning it OFF will only hinder the process.
