Just purchased A8 star, really disappointed with the Bixby key. I cannot even customise it and it does not work at all.
How can Samsung force this on us esp when the Bixby is half baked. 

Least they could do is to allow us to customise this. 

My last Samsung ever.

What's the point of physically disabling the Bixby button, I can do it in the app. But the point is why force a button that is not customisable. I am disappointed and will never buy a Samsung again.

ZombieHRN you buy an android phone and would like to customise to your liking. They have removed the touch buttons at bottom to have a bigger display and then add a useless physical button

Thank you for reaching out to the Samsung community! We regret to inform you that Bixby key cannot be customized for other purpose. On the Bixby page tap on gear icon to enable and disable. When you press and hold the Bixby key, Bixby Voice will launch and start listening.
