Media Player in quick panel

[KyonxHaruhi2]

I upgraded to the s25 ultra from the z flip 5 and I had no idea the music player was in the quick panel and not notifications. It's so incredibly tedious and obnoxious having to pause music now etc 

Another issue I have is that you can no longer organize apps by alphabetical order without it making you scroll up and down when that's not how I prefer it. I prefer left and right so I spent 3 hours organizing my apps in alphabetical order because of this overall I just hate one ui7 it's so inconvenient and not user friendly

Why did Samsung think that this was ok??? I almost wanna return the phone and keep my flip 5 🙃

Hi, I probably not know how to do it, but I was wondering if any one within this community knows how to make Spotify to show in the notification bar when the phone is unlocked. I can see timers showing in the notification bar but I just can't get Spotify to show. I've tried many things and nothing. Any thought?? Thanks

As of right now, it only appears in the Now Bar on the lockscreen, AOD, and Quick Panel. It can't be seen in the notification shade or status barl.
I think it will come to the notification shade and status bar in a future update.
It has been added to those areas in Beta 5 on the S24, Fold, and Flip 6 series of phones.
It was a frequent complaint in the Beta, so it was added.

Thanks for the reply and yes I saw it on S24 beta 5 as you mentioned. Hope that it can be added in future updates.

Please bring back the ability to have my currently playing media in the notification bar if I have Notifications and quick panel selected as "Together". I now need multiple swipes just to change a song or rewind/fast forward. The Now button is bad enough being tiny and on the bottom of the screen. Isnt the whole point of Android that we arent stuck without options like iOS users?

You can expand the card by tapping on it and get full access.
You can even on your AOD using double tap, stop, previous track and next track.

I understand but its still extra buttons to push. The new ui has basically forced those who use their phones to listen to media to now click extra buttons for access to the media. The Lock screen is far less bothersome to me than the notification panel as the lockscreen atleast still has an option available to allow me to atleast pause/play the media.

Samsung is never going to make everyone happy. Personally I hated the media player on my notification panel, too distracting. I just want to see my notifications.

For me it is where it is supposed to be.

[userPVgbv3xyWq]

Sure, but once again.... options. If they can set it up to click a button to merge the notification bar and the quick panel, they can add an option in notifications settings to allow media to be displayed.

I'm here because I too despise the new setup. It's bad enough that Im tempted to return the s25 so i can have the s24 back. I tinker with the media player all the time while listening to stuff and now it's a pain to find

I use the separate setting to get the full quick panel in one gesture. I get people don't like it, but for now one can choose separate. I use it and swiping down the left side for notifications and the right side for the full quick panel both in one gesture works for me

Even in my one gesture my media button always shows play last song. I click twice to bring it back. And whenever a tune is playing, the one gesture full quick panel shows what's playing. Also, whatever side is showing, using left or right gestures while panel is down moves between the two. Anyway, this what I get, one showing play last song, then that song.
