Is there a setting to make the lights in the menu and return buttons off while watching videos like Netflix and you tube?
Also is there a txt app that will read out the txt in the notification bar like the face book app does?
My vivid did that and I sure miss it on the one in this phone it just says new message.
The capacitive buttons have a few options in the display settings.
Settings > My Device > Display > Touch Key Light Duration.
The default should be to light up for 6 seconds then turn off. You can change it to 1.5 seconds, always on, or always off.
As far as the text messages, there is a setting in the messaging app. Don't know why they default it to off.
Messaging > Settings > Notification Settings > Preview Message.

Found em thank you sir.
As the title says, I'm having this issue where when I play music from an application, I expect the player to pop up both on the notification dropdown and lock screen, but they appear on neither. This happens on both Google Play and PowerAmp, so I can imagine that other apps would have this issue. I traded in my other S7 Edge, as it had another audio-related issue, and I know it had this feature, but this new one does not. Is there any way I can enable it? It's a pain having to go back into the app every time just to pause it, as I like to close my apps when I'm done with them. The music still persists even after I close the app itself. I've also tried restarting. Any ideas?
All feedback is highly appreciated. Thanks!

Mine shows up in both spots using the Samsung Music player. Confirmed working with Poweramp too on both notification tray and lock screen.

I would think that it works with nearly everyone else. I was asking why it wouldn't work for myself.
I had the same issue. Look at your notifications, when I turned it on for music player, it now shows up.
It only works with the Samsung music app. Other apps will play music but no pulldown. So u can play music but if you leave the app u will need to make a couple clicks to skip or pause a track. Sucks.
They're basically forcing their app on u. Luckily for them it's not half bad
One year later, when now I just saw this post,,,,,, The same thing may seem to appear in the new Samsung Galaxy C7 Pro, that the music player with music being played does not show up in the Notification Panel & Lock Screen. However, thanks for csjg3525 above whose post about S7 inspired me to look into something similar in Galaxy C7 Pro. It works not only for the Samsung music app! There's a trick:
Open "Settings" > Choose "Notifications" > Select "Google Play Music" AND then also go to the "Advanced" button at the top right hand corner on the same page > Click into "Google Play Music" > Click to "Allow notifications" and then two more options appear to let you choose - I selected "Set as priority" & "Previews in pop-ups", then all I wanted did show finally.
When you see only the name of the song being played on the lock screen, don't be disappointed. You just double-click the song name and then the 3 symbols of backward, pause & forward (next song) will appear for your control.
Hope the above helps for Samsung Galaxy C7 Pro users.

I tried to use quick launch (settings, utilities, quick launch) but when I select it either settings stops working out it just kicks me back to the settings page. I've tried with default launcher and I have fingerprint unlock enabled, any ideas how I can fix it or is it not working yet?
Make sure play music and movies is enabled. Set up quick launch then you can disable them again
I had the same problem but a reboot solved it.
Was to do with disabling Google play movies and music, weird that this affects it but solved now.
Hi fellows
Maybe I'm just dumb, but I can't find a way to torn off "game mode" (don't know the exact name, the thing that happens when you launch a game and a notification comes up saying that battery optimizations are now off and that you have to double tap on the navbar to use the buttons).
I'm not interested in such "optimization", how do I disable it?
Find the app "security". When it opens scroll down and an icon with a joystick shape in blue named game speed booster. Click that and you can change the settings or just take your game off it.
Does anybody know how I can get rid of this marks on display. They don't disappear automatically as they should. They go away only if I press x. This is very annoying
Go to the accessibility menu in settings, and turn off control phone via large menu and control device with switches.

I did it and unfortunately nothing happens
Update: I disabled the live transcribe accessibility setting and it did the job
