Why am I not able to change sound mode on locked screen with Android 5.0.1 update on Note 4?

Not able to change sound mode on locked screen with android 5.0.1 update on Note 4

I had android 4.4.4 on my Samsung Galaxy Note 4. With this OS, whenever I pressed and held the power button on locked live (display on) screen, I used to get options to change the sound profile to mute, sound or vibrate. But after updating the OS to android 5.0.1, I don't see that option any more! Is there a setting from where I can re-enable this option? It was a really handy feature because you could change the sound profile while the screen was locked. Now I have to go through the hassle of unlocking my phone, and using either the volume buttons to change the sound profile or going to the sound profile settings to change the sound profile. Any inputs will be greatly appreciated.

Sorry that is not possible at this time. It's not a Sammy thing, it's a Google thing after lolippop, as the Nexus line has the same issue. Maybe the 5.1.0 update or the M will bring it back.

You still can it just requires an extra step.

Press and hold the power key

When the options screens appears , while it's still showing press the volume rocker up or down.

You have to move quickly before the options screens disappears
