Bixby button
- /e/ version: 0.19-20211027142973
- Device model(s): SM-N960U
- Device rooted: yes
Summary
The Bixby button doesn't do anything when I press it. I tried to configure it in options under "Search button" but it seems like it's not it.
Then I downloaded Key Mapper to see if I could use that method, but it failed to identify the Bixby button. So it's just there, doing nothing.
The problem
Steps to reproduce
- Make sure the phone is unlocked.
- Press the Bixby button.
What is the current behavior?
Nothing.
What is the expected correct behavior?
Do whatever action is defined under "Search button" setting in Settings > System > Buttons.
Technical informations
Not sure what kind of information to include.
Solutions
Possible fixes
Make the /e/OS recognize Bixby button as a search button so that it would be possible to use it and define actions in the settings.
Also should be possible to edit it with third party programs like Button Mapper (probably with root privileges). Currently none of the peograms pick it up, which makes it useless.
