Please bring back Media in Notification Bar

[userPVgbv3xyWq]

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.

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.

This happens every year, can't make everyone happy. Some things I have complained about for years has been addressed in One Ui7.
Media player being in the notification panel.
Not being able to move Wifi and Bluetooth to where I can reach with my thumb.

Maybe in Ui8 they will finally move the settings and power button to the bottom where it belongs.

In the end I'm sure Good Lock will allow for what are nothing more than personal preferences and most of those are subjective things.

Making suggestions seems to work most times when devs/official creators read them. When Good Lock first came around, it made a huge difference to adjusting features, controls, themes etc. No device maker can do that of its own making, it is too much

What one person wants, another doesn't care about having that feature. Considering what can cosmetically be done on the personal preferences of the Galaxy S series phones that I know of no other doing remotely close to that, imagine the frustration if having used an S25 then go to Apple the following year.

Oh, the horrors of even thinking about that.
