Way before Bixby debuted on the Samsung Galaxy S8, it had another voice assistant called S Voice that debuted on the Samsung Galaxy S III. It wasn’t a replacement for Google’s voice commands, but it was able to do things like call contacts, set reminders, launch apps, and perform Google searches. It didn’t really have any personality or tell any jokes. As per a report from Sam Mobile, Samsung’s S Voice will cease to operate as of June 1, 2020. If you try to use S Voice after June 1, 2020, you’ll only receive a response from S Voice that says “I’m unable to process your request. Try again later”. We’re sure there aren’t too many of you who are still using S Voice. Models still using S Voice include the Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, and A9, the Galaxy Note II, III, 4, 5, and FE, the Galaxy S III, S4, S5, and S6, as well as the Galaxy Note Pro 12.2, Galaxy W, Galaxy Tab 4, and Galaxy Tab S (1st gen). S Voice wasn’t particularly groundbreaking or amazing in any way and as a result, not many folks used it. It would eventually gain voice-activation with the phrase “Hi Galaxy” or any custom phrase. It also found its way into Samsung smartwatches like the Samsung Gear and Gear S lineup as the only way to process voice-to-text replies. These days, all Samsung devices including the Galaxy Watch lineup, and most Samsung Galaxy smartphones are using Bixby. . . . . #techies_page #techies #tech #technology #svoice #samsung #galaxya3 #galaxya5 #galaxya7 #galaxya8 #galaxya9 #galaxynote2 #galaxynote3 #galaxynote4 #galaxynote5 #galaxynotefe #galaxys3 #galaxys4 #galaxys5 #galaxys6 #galaxynotepro12 #galaxytab4 #galaxytabs #bixby #galaxywatch #galaxywatchactive #usa #uk #unitedstatesofamerica #unitedkingdom https://www.instagram.com/p/B-3ar4fAYRg/?igshid=1hbxekl5rnt8c

Nokia 6, Week 1

I took it out on Wednesday morning to film an Instagram story. It was Hurricane Hato day. Nothing special there, although the hurricane was quite something. They said the last Category 10 typhoon was in 2012. I was here too in Hong Kong, but right after the typhoon I think.

Using It to Call

So far I have only used it:

Skype video call style (see Skype section below for details)

Using earphones to take a WhatsApp call from my boss - I am not a big fan of sticking slabs on my ear, and I would like to continue with that tradition. So far nothing to report here. All went on as usual.

Skype

My wife keeps complaining about its sound quality compared to Galaxy Note 2. I guess you cannot compare it to a high-end phone, even though an old and past one. I guess with the amount of cash I am paying I really cannot expect everything I want in a phone.

On the brighter side, the Skype now uses an all-new look and all-new sound effects (of course retaining some legacy notes). Not that it really matters.

WhatsApp Web

No issues with WhatsApp and its web counterpart. I do notice that the WhatsApp Web drops out much less often now. So I think the phone has something to do with it.

The Google App and The Home Button

I find that the built-in Google app:

Takes up quite some CPU and battery power.

Is way too integrated into the OS now, more than what I am comfortable with. It has that... iOS... feel to it now.

I occasionally set alarm using the screen. It is amazingly simple to set alarm this way, but it leaves a trail of unset alarm data in the clock app. I am also not going to start saying ‘Ok Google’ and expect my phone to finish my work for me, although it is clear that this is the way future devices will work, nice and simple, no meddling with complicated UI’s.

I decided to disable it. Bye-bye left screen and long-press home button.

Now... I wanted to see if I can change the long-press home button action to open up email instead, but there is no way I could change that in the settings. Boo.

Google Wallpaper

I found this built-in app and was immediately hooked with it. It puts daily great wallpapers on an otherwise boring phone. I have had it for almost one week without changing the starry-night default wallpaper.

Of course data connection is required to download those wallpapers. You can’t have everything.

Playing Music

There is only Google Play Music app available, as opposed to Samsung Music. I suppose it is alright, but the buttons on the lock screen could be larger. There is no way I will be able to fiddle with it when I am driving now.

Colour Scheme

Actually not a big fan of the unknown-bright-blue colour scheme, but there seems to be nothing I can do about it for now. It is Nokia colour.

Sleep Time

I find the default 30 seconds sleep time is way too fast. I would change it to 1 or 2 minutes, otherwise I will be unlocking it many times more than I should. Unlocking it is a breeze with the fingerprint scanner, but even sometimes it fails to recognize my fingerprint and asks for PIN.

The Fingerprint Scanner

This is my first phone with fingerprint scanner, and I am quite amazed that the lock screen does not even activate without the correct finger. I can still bypass it by pressing the power button. Pattern/PIN/password is still a must.

Yahoo! Weather

I was looking for a multi-timezone clock app and then thought, why not do the weather too. I tried a few, almost found a good one called ‘Today Weather’ here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mobi.lockdown.weather , but it has a bug... all the widgets display local time even after the cities are switched. I emailed the developer but have not received a reply so far. I guess the guy is too busy. Too bad.

I end up using Yahoo! Weather. It is beautiful and I can control the data usage, but I think its widgets take up too much space. They should have a 1-row widget option.

The Biggest Duds and Thumbs-Ups So Far

Here is the big list of my wish list that did not get fulfilled with this phone:

The big no. 1 is still the NFC. I wish they have done a better job at letting me know that there is no NFC for the ones they sell in this region. I did not even know there were variants!

Sound quality is mediocre when using Skype

I could not configure what I want to do when I press the buttons. The Home button defaults to Google app which I decided to disable.

The default Google Play Music app leaves much to be desired compared to Samsung’s

The blue colour scheme is OK, I do not mind it so much, but I just wish I could change it.

There could be others but I cannot remember now.

On the other hand:

Battery life continues to impress. At end of day, still on 15%, after 2 Skype sessions each 1 hour long.

Fingerprint scanner works great

That is all for today!
