Most annoying samsung- thing is back...Screen dims automatically when using Google maps.As soon as you use GM, screen dims down automatically right away to a point, where i cant see anything anymore, almost got into an accident because i had my nose right up to the screen because i couldnt read the street name.
All the settings in the world didnt help to solve the issue, have to go back to Xiaomis Flagship Mi 11 , as i need this app every day. Last time to buy a samsung phone, the previous Note had the same issue, so it is not a glitch.
Luckily, i still have time to return the phone, so i will. Xiaomi, you guys are my favorite !!!!

So, you change the screen timeout to 2min, open maps and it dims in few seconds rather than minutes

If you click start navigation does it still happen? It shouldn't. It has to do with android and not Samsung.

I have the same issue on a Galaxy S21. Super annoying. This will be my last Samsung phone because I need to use Google Maps outside and now I can't. The only solution is using Google Maps Go, but the app has limited features. I'm thinking of buying a Xiami too...

Time to stop using Google maps. If ANYONE should have high quality apps, it would be Google. But alas, no...guess it's back to Waze. That really bums me out.
