I've created 80+ quick commands. Now I can't use any of them

[EllisKai]

I just found out this morning when I tried to use one command, so I summoned Bixby to check on my list. Here's what it said: 

Usually, when I say "battery", Bixby would say the battery level of the device. But now, it asked me to unlock the phone so it can show me the battery monitoring page. So I said "quick commands" it said that's not supported. I really use it extensively. I've got a lot of quick commands and some of my routines are tied to them.

I thought maybe this time, Bixby is smarter. So I asked Bixby why quick commands isn't supported. Guess what it said: 

This is so disappointing. I thought maybe Samsung replaced quick commands with something else - perhaps a new feature in routines, but no, they just removed it and that's it. I use it to connect to Bluetooth device, adjust volume, brightness, activate DND, autoreject calls etc what the h.. Samsung...

Now the Bixby pop-up is worse than Google Assistant - it just won't go away unless I tap the screen. 

What's this for?

It's either not working as intended, or perhaps i was expecting it to work differently. 

When I say "dismiss yourself" to Google Assistant, it just shuts up and goes away. 

Oh please please please tell me they're just working on compatibility etc and quick commands will come back - or they're working on something better. Like a voice control that they have in the camera app or the clock that doesn't depend on Bixby or the internet. 

Proof I've used this feature:

At least they've added this feature I mentioned about 2 years ago:

It just needs some polishing.

As a new Galaxy phone and watch user, Bixby has been my first disappointment.

I built a bunch of routines and modes. Some activate automatically, but some I plan to control with my voice. I want to simply shorten the command and say "Bixby, Workout Watch", not "Bixby, run routine Workout Watch"

I thought Quick Commands would be my solution here, but after trying to troubleshoot why I couldn't for 2 hours, I finally learned they recently removed this feature. Why would they do such a thing?

[EllisKai]

You can trigger the manual routine by saying it's name. But as of today, routines don't allow multiple Bixby requests as the quick commands was made for in the first place. And the maximum of 50 routines isn't enough for me.

Back then with quick commands, i would just say "connect" then Bixby would turn on Bluetooth, search and connect to earbuds. Or "wake me up" for Bixby to turn on the wake up alarm, and edit it's time. Or "netflix connect" for Bixby to open Netflix app, turn on Bluetooth, connect to earbuds.
Now, without quick commands, i have to say each task individually.

Just found out that Quick Commands are no more with the "improved" Bixby. We're now supposed to use Modes & Routines. Very limited as to custom actions, very convoluted and a number of steps backward to the beginning of Bixby. Or speak the entire command rather than a one word command that worked with Quick Commands. Seriously? Why do companies refuse to leave well enough alone? Going to try Google's Assistant <sigh>

I just rolled back the Bixby Update that pooched Bixby and all my Quick Commands are back!

1. Open the Settings app on your Android device.
2. Scroll down and tap on the Apps.
3. Pick the app you want to roll back to an older version on the list of apps.
4. On the App info page, tap on the three dots shown in the screenshot below.
5. Select Uninstall updates.

We can do that.

But i might have to give that up if i want to keep the conversational Bixby. I think this new version can learn my voice better too.

I think i would just have to move on and hope they can implement voice commands that don't have to use Bixby and access the web.

This is also very disappointing 😞.  I use quick commands every single day but now it's gone and I'm mad about it. Why is samsung doing this to their customers? Why bring the feature just to kill it later even tho some people use it.....

[Tenems]

 quick commands is actually gone and they haven't announced working on something better either... i will just keep using the old version for now

I absolutely hate this new update, and has taken away all my quick commands, and I had them perfect and now there is no way to remake them again, bring back quick commands

Shame on Samsung! Quick Commands are a great feature
