Home screen notifications minimizing

[WJC]

I turned on the Swipe Anywhere Down on the Home Screen settings and shortly thereafter my navigation apps (Google maps and Waze) are minimizing and the phone is going to sleep after a few minutes. Could this option be responsible?

Did you try turning it off to see if the Google Maps and Waze are still minimizing?

[WJC]

Not yet. That's my next step. Could you try turning it on and see what hsppens?

Mine is always on and I don't have any problems with Google Maps however, I cannot comment on Waze as I do not use it.

I just tried navigating with Google maps with the swipe option off and again, after a few minutes, Google maps minimized. Because it also reacts the same way with Waze, I'm guessing it's an Android problem and not a app issue.
