  How do you turn off your phone then?

    On Samsung phones, you can turn off your phone via the notification bar drop down.

    That being said, I still prefer to have my power button bound to…well…power options lol.

      Yeah I remember rebinding my grandparents butrons on samaung phones back to power. Fucking updates changed it to the stupid assistant and they had no idea how to turn off their phone.

      I don’t use the features you listed that much, so I switched it back to powering off my phone. On my Samsung device, there was a link titled how do I turn off my phone. One of the options suggested was saying, “Bixby, turn off my phone.” Nope.

    At the top of the quick settings panel there is a power button.

    Only S25U you just hold down the down volume button and the power button at the same time. That’s how it came for me stick our of the box, have not touched it. I did set my power button to be one long press for my wallet app instead of Gemini tho

      Does that actually bring up a menu, or just outright shut it down?

      The two button shortcut has historically been for forcing an immediate shutdown in the event of like, a full system freeze. It’s the same as ripping the power cord from a running desktop PC, and isn’t the intended graceful shutdown that these devices are supposed to get.

      Unless they’ve changed things, that’s been the standard since the first smart phones and PDAs.

    I don’t know what everyone’s on about. I’m pretty sure this is explained in the first launch tutorial. You press power and volume up at the same time.

      I don’t remember the first launch tutorial because 2 reasons.

      1. It was 2 years ago.
      2. I know how to use a fucking phone. The cunts changing a function that literally every phone up to that point had implemented the same way is not my damn fault.

  If only they could break the bastard Bixby button instead.

    I loved how at first, I was able to rebind that stupid button to anything I wanted. Then that stopped and it became only Bixby. Horrible decision - Having a button that can launch any app you want is a beautiful thing that more phones need to get behind.

    Current gen of samsung phones has removed it entirely, fwiw.

      Which is a loss. I liked the extra button, just not for an assistant.
