Bixby Voice not working

[Sparky27]

Can anyone tell me when the Bixby voice will be working in the U.K.

Hi @Sparky27

Indeed a question many here and On other forums along with several tech blog sites are all asking. 

Samsung wouldn't typically comment on timeframes. 

I suspect eventually we'll be hit with a sudden firmware update out of the blue to provide the feature.

My loyalty goes elsewhere from now on , still no bixby voice in Uk.  Samsung are mocking us . False advertisement at it's very very worst

I'd like Bixby Voice too but to be honest it's not a deal breaker as I have Google Assistant and it's not a must have feature in comparison to what these Samsung Galaxy phones achieve. 

Would you rather they released a half baked product and then send out updates which they'd get slated for, or wait for a fully operational service ? I'm up for the latter.

I'd rather have Bixby at least in American English. However, Samsung believes that we can wait indefinitely :smileymad:

It's the  typical treat UK customers the worst policy from Samsung.....delay Bixby....give no information....dont offer leads with the wireless charger and don't give a free VR with the S8.....love the phone but really dislike Samsung customer service UK policy........

The new Bixby updates have just arrived via Galaxy Apps including Bixby voice, Global Action, Voice input, Service and Wake-up.

Bixby voice still doesn't work. But the main problem is that I cannot open Lock screen and security settings after these updates. 'Settings has stopped. Restart app.' 

Can Samsung team provide any explanations?

Hey @Pin255.

Try clearing the cache of the Settings app. Go to Settings > Apps > find the 'Settings' app > Storage > Clear cache.

Let us know if this resolves the issue.

Does this update mean Bixby Voice now works in the UK....because it's still not working for me

[Pin255]

This didn't solve the problem. The only way to solve this problem is to remove Bixby voice updates.
