Missing Google Maps and Navigation Icons

[1Bigdawg]

I was able to relocate my blue Navigator arrow icon after uninstalling the Google Maps update.  When you pull up your apps (after uninstalling the Maps update), use the settings (three vertical dots on my phone) button to select Sort By: and choose alphabetical.  Look for Navigation.  That's where my blue arrow showed up so I could put it back on my screen.  It didn't show until I selected to alphabetize, though, so that may be why you can't find it. Hope this helps.  This is how it worked on my LG Spectrum II.

I just had it happen to me. I finally got it back by, (my phone is Thunderstorm HTC) restarting phone, going to all apps, remove apps, click on Maps, uninstall updates, restart phone and boom the blue triangle was back in all apps.good luck

I have a Samsung s4 and the Google  maps keeps dimming and turning off how can I fix that.

[drew22]

not sure, mine was dimming, opened app, goto settings, uncheck dimming.

9965 go to settings>display>screen timeout and change the time interval.

9965 forgot to mention turn on smart stay in the notification panel drop down icons. Scroll to the right to find it.  What this does, the front facing camera detects that you are looking at the screen and the phone will keep the screen on until you look away.
