My screen times out if I watch a video in Chrome browser. If I start watching a woodworking video on a website it only plays for 30 sec then the screen turns off. Is there a setting someplace I can fix that?. It's fine on YouTube and Streaming but times out in Chrome. JC

I'm not getting my notifications when I'm logged out on my homescreen or at the top. When I do get them they are a few hours or even days old. Anyone else having this issue? JC

Using an S8+ using Oreo and it's mounted to my motorcycle so having the map open all the time is crucial. I have it plugged in while on the bike too. Not using the turn by turn option. JC

I use it on the bike alot and hate to have keep waking the screen up. I'll try Waze and see how that it. A bit idiotic that Google Maps doesn't have an actual option to keep the screen on seeing as how it's supposed to be a navigation tool.

Found the battery saver for that app.. disabled it but didn't make any difference,still times out after 30sec.

No "battery saver" option on my S8 or in the maps app itself.

Is there a way to keep Google Maps open while driving? My screen always times out as I have it set for 30 sec but I don't see a setting in maps to override that. JC

I used to be able to see the notifications on my phone without opening Facebook and there would be a little icon to tell me how many I have but that no longer shows up. I have everything set to Push and SMS but still nothing. Anyone else having this issue? JC

Excellent! Thanks very much! JC

Thanks for the link but that app doesn't allow me to make a folder for files..just manage what's already on the phone. Hard to believe I can't just create a simple folder for quick access to files.

I found a few apps 2ith that same name do you have a link to the one your thinking about? Thanks for the reply. JC

That makes a folder for apps not files..then when you remove the apps the folder disappears...I just want an empty folder to drop files in for quick access. JC

How do I create a simple empty folder on the home screen or multiple folders. I want quick access to a few files and just want them in a simple folder but can't find any way to do that. Everything I've read says create a folder for apps but nothing for creating a simple empty folder. Any help...

Updated mine today and no issues. JC

I did get this to work.. thanks for the help! JC
