I won't even bother posting this on another riding forum because of the BW:BS ratio. I'm hoping that some experienced high-milers will have run into this.
To start, I use a Garmin Zumo 396 LMT-S as my navigator of choice. But every once in a while, I want to consult Google Maps on My Samsung Galaxy S20FE for something, and I have this recurring, nagging problem.
No matter what I do to try to stop it, Google Maps insists on dimming the screen after about 20 seconds. If I turn on the master Auto Brightness controls for the phone, Google Maps still auto-dims. If I turn off the master Auto Brightness and manually set to maximum, Google Maps still wants to auto-dim.
It's only Google Maps. My other commonly used apps (email, photo gallery, podcasts) will run at whatever brightness I set and stay there. Only Google Maps insists on auto-dimming no matter what I do. It does it whether it's 100+ degrees outside, or 40 degrees.
It's driving me nuts, as GMaps will dim so much that the app becomes essentially useless. I can't figure out for the life of me how to stop it.
Anyone else run into this? Is there some Secret Squirrel setting I'm missing? I don't want to use the Dark theme if I can avoid it.
