Samsung I am getting very frustrated with your new S8 Plus and Bixby. When the Bixyby Voice first rolled out it was working great then the Bixby Voice activation stopped working after an update ( Bixby would not wake up using my voice would only work when manually pressing the designated Bixby button).  I tried clearing cache, deleting data on Bixby Voice, and Bixby Home. After doing this Bixby voice would would say when trying to train my voice Bixby Can Not Hear You no matter what I tried with the distance of the phone or how loud I spoke.

I also deleted the Cache Partition but it didn't work.  After numerous days Samsung Support contacted me via Facebook messaging and suggested that I uninstall updates to Bixby Voice and Bixby Home.  I was able to retrain my voice and I was Happy.  The next day the Bixby Voice Activation stopped working again.  

Samsung, when will this be fixed.  This is the first time I have thought about getting rid of Samsung and I have been with you since the S3 and and all Televisions are Samsung.

Please provide me with an answer to a workaround or when will the update fixing this problem be out?  You have known for weeks that others have the same problem!

 

I have attached a screen shot when you try to train my voice when starting Bixby.

 

Thank you

Doug

 

Processes already tried but Have Not Resolved Issue:

The Bixby Voice App was the current app when it stopped working 3 weeks ago

I uninstalled updates on Bixby voice when suggested by Samsung FB support (it worked then stopped again the next day.)

Was wondering of you found solution? Ever since purchase of S9+ the "Hi Bixby" command just pops up twice in notification panel and never works. Only way to use Bixby is with the long press of the Bixby key. S8+ never had this issue, even after Oreo update.

I am also having issues with Bixby voice wake-up not working. The Bixby Key seems to work fine.

Did you get any help on this? I just bought the galaxy s9 today and bixby voice isn't working. Bixby works on my phone only if you push and hold the button.

Have you tried adjusting the sensitivity settings? Bixby button > MenuSettings > Voice wake-up 

 

This and rebooting works for me.

I've tried this, but it still don't work. I go into setting and it only let me choose the card and apps I want to show on bixby. It doesn't let me adjust or change anything.
