The Members app kept stating server error when attempting to post my full feedback post, so I had to split the post into 3 pieces (P.O.S. Members app).
This is part 2 of 3. I am sharing my feedback with Samsung and the community, but primarily, my hopes are Samsung and their dev team will use this directly.
Pulldown Shade Missing Battery Percentage: When choosing to not have the battery percentage on the icon itself, one would expect to see the percentage number next to the battery icon when pulldown the notification shade. But it's not there, so I have no idea what my percentage is - that's a huge disappointment when battery reaches less than 20 and the user desires to monitor the situation and know when a charger is required and not just optional (5%).
Improve Dynamic Now Chip: The Dynamic Now Chip should include a simple algorithm which watches for live notifications from other apps, not just Samsung apps + media. For example, I use the Google Clock, a couple of 3rd party time tracking apps, and a sleep tracking app. They all use timers and live notifications to show when a timer countdown or count up (elapsed) is on going. The dynamic now Chip should pick up this ongoing live notifications just as it does for Samsung and Media, and use the notification action buttons. It would be dead easy, **bleep** I could even write the code for it. Samsung makes it seem like all of the stuff that we ask for is so hard, it's not, hopefully you will start listening to your users more and implementing our suggestions.
Early April Security Patch: This is a positive. I have to throw this thought in there, I would be a very happy customer if the security patches were released on time every month, no excuses, no Korea or other countries first, then the US. No, all phones should receive the monthly patch by the 3rd. No exceptions. This month it's early, clearly then it's possible for you to do this every month. So thank you, and I hope this will continue, but I'm not holding my breath.
Thank you for continuing to share your detailed observations in Part 2—your input is highly valued, and we appreciate your dedication in working through even the platform limitations to deliver your full feedback.
Battery Percentage in Quick Panel: You've brought up a valid usability concern, especially for those who disable the percentage in the status bar but still expect to see it upon expanding the panel. We'll share this request with the UX team for further review—this could help bridge accessibility and preference flexibility for a range of users.
Dynamic Now Chip (Live Notification Support): Excellent insight regarding the need for third-party app integration. Expanding the current logic to support live activities beyond Samsung and media apps—especially for timer-based and productivity tools—would indeed improve functionality and user experience. We'll make sure this suggestion is shared with the development team for feasibility review.
Security Patch Timing: Thank you for acknowledging the early April patch—it’s always encouraging for our teams to know when things land positively. While release timings can vary due to regional testing and carrier validation, your point about aiming for consistency across markets is well taken. We’ll share this with the appropriate teams.
We’re looking forward to your Part 3, and we thank you again for your thoughtful and constructive feedback across all parts. Users like you are instrumental in shaping a better One UI experience.
