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 🙃

As far as placing the music player in the notification area this can be done. Swipe down twice to get the full notification screen, the click on the pen icon, then choose the "Panel settings" on the top left. You can play around with the two settings "Separate" and "Together" to get the feel you prefer. Anyway, click on the "Edit top quick settings" and arrange the icon you want in the first pull down menu (depends on how many icons you have set to view initially) and go from there

Edit: As for the above, if this is not what you mean, then I apologize.

As far as organizing the apps alphabetically, swipe up from the bottom to get the apps tray, you will see a search bar with three dots on the right. Click on those three dots, choose sort then alphabetical order.

I don't know if you have Ui7, but, it no longer works that way. There are 2 choices, vertical is in alphabetical order, sort is pages with no ability to put in alphabetical order at a press of a button. It has to be sorted manually.

That is what I said, just not like that. Swiping up on the home screen brings up the app tray, the search bar at bottom with three vertical dots upon clicking them there are two choices under sort, customize or alphabetical order. The other choice when clicking 3 dots is settings. I have had the S25U since Jan 30 (I pre-ordered it).

Samsung please please please 🙏 give us the music pill in the notification area on the S25 Ultra. Pretty please.

It has been added to S24U in Beta 5. I think it will eventually be added to the S25 series too, based on customer feedback.

[07thking]

Thanks mate. I just love it on the ZFold 6 its a must have 🙏

[Tom6068]

For that feature to be added to the S25 "eventually" as it already has the UI 7, would be a serious issue, or for any aspect of UI 7 having fewer featuress for S25 until later dates.

Besides the few issues needing to be addressed by at least when the final release is updated for the limited few previously released device series, nothing added to those devices should take precedence over the latest Samsung model.

I don't think Samsung realized the amount of pushback they would get by having media player only on the Quick Panel. When I was on the Ui7 Beta on my S24U, the complaints were loud, and many. When Samsung released the Beta for the Fold 7 not only was the media player added to the notification shade, but it was also added to the status bar along with Google Scores, you are able to toggle between the 2. This came to the S24U in Beta 5. It is probably why it took so long for Beta 5 to be released.
I was on Beta 4 on my S24u back in January before I withdrew from the Beta to rollback before my trade-in.

Personally, I don't want it on my notification panel to distracting, I just want notifications. A double swipe gets me to the media player if I need to use it. I usually access it from my Now Bar on my Lockscreen or AOD.
I don't even want it on my Status Bar, I have most things turned off on my status bar.

I don't think Samsung realized a whole bunch of things with their grand redesign of One UI.
