Bixby routines suggestions and how to block calls?

[Adi0]

Please add more Bixby routine options. It's kinda limited. For example I want to block all calls while playing a game without sending a refusing message, I want to Bluetooth to turn of automatically or after 5 minutes since I've disconnected a Bluetooth device such as Samsung Buds.

Also how to block calls on S10+? I can't find an option.

Block only calls or calls and texts? Is it not possible just to airplane mode?

Also have you played around with Bixby Routines + yet? You can get it as an option if you have downloaded Samsung's Good Lock customisation app. You basically record a sequence of actions/touches as if you were doing a screen recording of what you would do without a Bixby routine to accomplish the action. It then saves that screen recording and replicates the actions you performed but much quicker.

There are now a much broader range of possibilities due to this, I've not had the time to experiment fully but I've done a few cool ones to realise it's got heaps of potential. But the pages you pass through or actions you conduct are based on touches on specific areas in the screen so if say a sequence of button presses or clicks to the end destination are not always located in the exact same place on the screen for whatever reason, it won't work. I found this out when trying to get a specific playlist to play when I enter my car but the playlist changes if you add extra playlists over time. Not much of an issue but I had another example that was better but it has eluded me.

Hope that makes a lick of sense.

How to activate DND?

Issue is that one call freezes the game while I'm playing it through mobile data.

To turn on DND follow this step

• Navigate: 

  Settings    

  Notifications .
• Tap 

  Do not disturb .
• Tap the 

  Do not disturb switch to turn on   or off  .
• Tap the 

  switch to the right of the preferred schedule(s) to turn on or off.

   

  To edit a schedule tap the existing schedule name (e.g., Sleeping) then perform the following:

   

  To create a new schedule, tap 

  Add schedule .
• Enter or edit the schedule name.
• Select the preferred day(s).

   

  Selected when circle is present.
• Tap 

  Start time to set the schedule start time then tap 

  Done .
• Tap 

  End time to set the schedule end time then tap 

  Done .
• Tap Save.
• From the 'Exceptions' section, tap 

  Calls, messages, and conversations .
• Tap 

  Calls then select the preferred option (e.g., All, Contacts only, etc.).
• Tap the 

  Repeat callers switch to turn on. When on, allows calls received from the same number more than once within 15 minutes.
• Tap 

  Messages then select the preferred option (e.g., All, Contacts only, etc.).
• Tap the

• Tap 

  Alarms and Sounds .
• Tap any of the following to turn on or off:

• Calendar events
• Reminders
  and even in new, there is the game mode it which it automatically block calls and messages. but they allow a call if it is multiply calling because it can be emergency.

Thabk you i didn't realise that DND is do not disturb 🤦🏻‍♂️. I'm using that. I meant how to disable all calls while playing games kn mobile data so they don't crush my games while someokne is calling me, that's why I can't cutrn on the airplane mode. @wayneoo @JosephPOP @RXM @JAMES4578 

[kevibruy]

lol, @Adi0  it is very funny to know that you don't know dnd is done not disturb. :). btw did you able to do turn on dnd and what is your review on s10+ I was thinking to buy it.

[Adi0]

Of course. I've gone through all setting son my phone, I'm an advanced user. 

S10+? First of all, flagship from 2019 top notch but the last software update is this years Android 12. That should be the biggest judgment. Awesome camera, screen, front camera is too big in that pill shape now that I've used A52 5G with a small punch hole.
