Is anyone else missing the SmartThings Audio Output persistent notification?

Used to be right where the arrow is pointing.

I added a pic I found via Google of the menu when expanded.

What do you have for quick panel set up below ?

 

[waqqas31]

Similar to yours

I have to check later on and mess with the settings.

Well, this is certainly disheartening. After the (long-awaited) update today to Smart Things 1.7.83.21, the "Audio Output" notification category in completely missing.

This feature worked perfectly well both before and after Android 12 on both my Note 20 Ultra and S10+. I'm pretty disappointed that it's not available on Samsung's top-of-the-line flagship.

This was a true killer-feature.

I have more notification categories on S22U. Not sure why you don't see them.

I have mine set to show always if you dont you have to fully expand the notification panel

Would you mind checking your SmartThings version for me?

Also, which variant of the S22 do you have?

The version of SmartThings is 1.7.83.21. Was updated few days ago. I have S22 Ultra unlocked on AT&T.

Thanks!

More importantly, though, do you see the SmartThings Audio Output in your silent notifications (like in the second screenshot in the first post)?

No. I don't.

 

[waqqas31]

No. I don't.

Thanks for the quick response, albeit, it's not the news I was hoping for

so i wanna bump this i know i have s20 plus umm so last night when i did a smart view turn on bluetooth cast something phone to tv

despite that i did had audio output notification set to on it never came up i click on smart things app exit but it didn't come up either so instead like restart phone or perhaps toggle on and off audio output notification did a mistake i clear data smart things i waited a few mins then restart

now in past before they remove that smart thing control panel thing i would clear data if i couldn't see it and restart wait it would come up

i have no clue how to make it appear now it doing what form member did just showing smart things notifications and general notifications

i read on reddit 4 days ago somebody saying

Has anyone noticed that after the updated to 4.1 these are gone? The ones I am referring to are the persistent notifications when a Bluetooth audio device is connected. There used to be the option from the notification panel to select the audio output for an app when a Bluetooth audio device is connected. Sadly it is gone now.

another person That is what I thought also, but that notification category is no longer there.

however i went into 4.1 last friday and it was still there

smart things folks did email me actually think i should uninstall and reinstall back however i never done that before plus little nervous about 2 folks reddit say 4 days ago

i gave them screenshot under notifications they wanted log in but didn't want to do that did i mess up and is it true that there's no way i can get audio output notification come up in others notification category in 4.1?

i don't set up the smart things all i do is cast something to phone to tv sometimes if i don't see audio output come up on phone i usually like click on smart things exit out then it will appear

yes the sound defaults to do tv but i would like to see it underneath if want to change audio output to tv or sound on phone but yet it's gone because i clear data i didn't know that was bad and doesn't exist 4.1 after upgrading

i'll sure as heck screwed up i can maybe try to find an old smart thing apk that might have old smart thing notification panel so i can maybe get to it turn on but not sure will work or not

So your not getting the toggles for smart things?

 

[mustang7757]

Also if you go to settings>apps>smart things tap>notifications tap>notifications categories tap

yes that is what i'm talking about it was there yesterday and was turn on

however despite that when i connect ddp app turn on bluetooth did smart view that didn't come up on phone

so i at 1st open smart view app<-which i i normal do and then exit usually audio output notifications will appear drop down on phone but didn't

now i should had either try to restart click on smart things see come up while on bluetooth or toggle ff and on since i did still had notification category however i made a dumb mistake i kindof clear data on smart things

which i did in past now usually when that happens while on bluetooth i go into the an app aka ddp yoga app then i click on smart things app notifications categories general and smart things notifications category will be there and i would restart or wait few mins later then audio output notification will appear

however it seems it don't exist at all 4.1 and i went into it last friday and it was still there i kindof wished i never clear data i didn't know that after i did it would never gotten it back

so now all i got those 2 notifications categories under smart things smart things notifications general notifications instead of 3 category which was audio output notification category , i know it's not a big deal because when was there the sound default to tv sound however there was option phone sound if wanted to

i really want to get notification come back up so i can see it but again it seems gone in 4.1 and i don't know rather or not good idea to uninstall and reinstall smart things app to make it appear again

do you think it will come up if i uninstall and reinstall app or do you think it doesn't exist on 4.1 which was still there after i went into 4.1 last friday and i made it go away after clear data smart things just because despite notification was on it didn't come up on phone when i turn on bluetooth last night

My post with screenshot above yours with audio notifications

 

[y2jman]

yeah mine disappar after i kindof clear data smart things umm i had restarted my phone i had went into ddp yoga app after turn on bluetooth i got those 2 other categories come up but sadly that audio output notification is gone meaning i can't even turn it on or off at all if i can since category doesn't exist

so am not sure if it supposed to still exit in 4.1 or is it gone meaning i don't know if uninstall and reinstall app will make it appear or not ya thoughts

You went to phone settings>apps>smart things?

 

[y2jman]

since the drop down audio output didn't come up on my phone after i connect bluetooth last night even after i open smart things app and exit which usually does instead me tootle on and off that notification to see might appear drop down on phone

i kindof went into storage and clear data making no notifications however when i went back to ddp app while bluetooth was on the other 2 came up and again usually i wait few mins audio output will come up or after i restart phone and wait but apprently not coming back up not sure why

so now i'm in a limbo and from what waqqas said about when he went into ui 4.1 it disappear on him but i still had it after went into 4.1 i don't know if even i uninstall and reinstall app if that audio output notification will actually come back up or doesn't exist 4.1
