iOS beta 3.4.99.29 feedback thread

Also, there is no way to reply to private messages that come up in the inbox. I got one yesterday from someone who isn't on my friends list, and it didn't pop up on the screen, I assume because I had already shut it down, and there is no reply button or any other option.

If you open a message and click on the users real name (not sure if yo get this for non "Friends") it will try and connect to Facebook to message them. The problem is it's asking me to sign into Facebook again ... so much for single sign on!

If you sign in to this screen it takes me to my OWN Facebook page.

In this case, it actually showed the URL to the user's facebook page, which was a clickable link, but wouldn't load.

I can verify these are fixed:
1. Minimal voice guidance can be selected (not stuck on full)
2. Night to day mode. (At least, it worked for me this morning at 7:47. Posted sunrise was 7:54 today. Good enough for me.)

The 2nd splash screen isn't sized for the iPhone 5. When Waze is launched, the first splash screen is replaced by another which looks just the same except the image is the wrong height, so the Wazer gets stretched vertically.

EDIT: While adding these, I see sketch added them below, too.

For a new install startup, when choosing how to log in, the "Other" button is not properly named. What it really means is "Waze Account" or "Waze Login."

Suggestion: rename the button to "Waze Login" or something similar, so that users who do not want to use Facebook, understand that's the way to go.

I received four popups this morning with this: "Warning Login problem. This is likely to happen if you login multiple devices with single username."

This could have been due to the multiple crashes while connected to the car stereo, but the popups happened after I re-freshly installed (yes, I installed the beta twice) the beta, logged in with my Waze account and started driving. The first popup didn't appear for at least 8-10 minutes from starting Waze.

Logs which include this were either uploaded a little after 3PM GMT or just now at 4:05PM GMT.

This dialogue text should be changed: "It appears you are using a single user account with multiple devices at the same time. This will cause unpredictable Waze behavior and may not properly capture your driven routes." (Or something just as helpful, but change the wording to match the actual possible problems.)

Came here to post just this.


Here are the correct (left) and stretched (right) splash screens:

As posted in the 3.5 thread, and I didn't ask during original beta: why has the data compression option been removed? Is it on all the time by default? I have noticed that it appears Waze is using more data than v3.2 for the same commute distance.

The close buttons (X) are generally too small and are much harder to tap to close alerts and dialog boxes than the previously-used Close button.

The change of the Thumbs-Up to "Thanks" doesn't help in this regard. Thumbs-up is only a bad sign in one country that I know of, and is almost globally recognized as a symbol of "good" or "thanks" or "nice job" and I don't think anyone was confused before.

Installed the iOS upgrade to 6.0.1 and don't see any difference.

Cupholder mode still doesn't work. The shutdown bug is still there.

(I'm not having any crashing issues.)

Just as an FYI, when I went to install the beta this morning, I deleted the Waze app first, as directed. Then I downloaded the app (over wifi) and launched it. I had it plugged into the car, and as before, it crashed a lot.

Then I noticed other odd things related to sound:
1. In the General Settings, the Navigation guidance item was missing
2. Under sound, there Device volume bar was gone, as if it thought I was docked, which I wasn't at the time.
3. Navigation guidance was set to full, even though I had to ability to choose Samantha or Tom because that missing in the General Settings.

To fix this, I deleted Waze and rebooted and reinstalled.
