- product50 7y agoYes - you can do it now https://www.androidauthority.com/how-to-remap-bixby-button-975962/ https://www.androidauthority.com/how-to-remap-bixby-button-9...
- hbcondo714 7y agoThe "How to natively remap the Bixby button" mentioned on AndroidAuthority requires you have a Samsung / Bixby account which is annoying b/c I don't want to give my information for a function I don't want. I ended up installing the bxActions app but it requires multiple permissions.
- Mindwipe 7y agoIs there any phone manufacturer that doesn't require an account to access significant functionality? A Samsung account is required to use the very basics of the phone anyway, same as a Google one is and same as an Apple one is on iOS.
- Sphax 7y agoI've been using my S9 for over a year without having a Samsung account, and I don't intend to create one. What basic functionality requires an account?
- Mindwipe 7y agoBackup and updating the core applications.
- russdpale 7y agoS9 user here, never signed up and will never use a samsung account. Its definitely not needed for nearly any function of the phone.
- DennisAleynikov 7y agoYep! Just all of the cloud services, like bixby and the such. If you have no need for them then it is not required at all. Bixby unfortunately is setup such that to disable it the official way you need to sign in, but you can disable it the old way whenever you like and theres no need to create an account.
- steve19 7y agoThat method requires the bixby app. I don't think it works if the app is removed.
