iPhone beta version 3.0.99.17 - official feedback

If you are in the beta group and have the Test Flight profile installed, you can get the latest iPhone beta installed by pasting the full link in the first post of this thread into Safari on your iPhone.

I didn't get any email notification either. But that didn't stop me from getting the latest beta installed.

No email was sent that I am aware of. I just opened Test Flight from the springboard.

I used the Link in Perlin's post to install.

More crashes again this morning, mostly they seem to occur when switching apps. Debug mode logs uploaded.

The bug where music stays at the lower (semi muted) level after taking a call on Bluetooth is back. Not seen that since the release of v3.0, presumably it's linked to the changes made to Bluetooth for this release? You have to quit Waze to get music back at the same level as the navigation directions.

The function for always play sound to speaker works much better. However, if audio is streaming in the background, it still ducks the audio and I don't think it should if the audio is playing over bluetooth.

Another user mentioned that Navigon has modes for streaming or Music (iPod) playback: streaming will get ducked and iPod will get paused. That would be a nice feature to mimic.

In general, though, if Waze has the ability to detect if another app is playing music over bluetooth, and my selection is for "always play sound to speaker" then the audio playing over bluetooth should not be changed if that is possible.

As has been requested previously, if Waze could open a "phone" type of connection to bluetooth, then if my phone is connect to the car stereo, it will be allowed to interrupt whatever music is playing to make the Waze announcements just as if a phone call is coming in. That would also be a nice feature option to be able to give to users.

This morning I tried to set a route to work via the Voice control. Sorry, I didn't have debug mode on...

* I was stopped and the car was turned off - the environment was quiet.
* Pressed the iPhone screen with 3 fingers.
* Waited for the voice prompt, said 'Drive to Work'.
* Waze confirmed 'Drive to Work, OK'.
* The voice control icon stayed on the screen.
* I was never routed to Work.
* I tried another time, same results.

I ended up setting a route to work via the regular touch controls. I am not using the voice control feature regularly, but the few times I have tried it have not worked out well.

Another audio bug: when "always send audio to speaker" is selected, and Waze is running in the background, no audio prompts play at all. In my case this morning, the foreground app was the camera app.

Verified that back grounding Waze stops audio prompts.

If it looks strange, or I used bad grammar or misspelled anything, it's my phone's fault.

Probably this was in previous 3.x versions as well:
Checking in with foursquare takes the client out of 'follow'-mode, and leaves the map centered on the current location (seems to be okay for other 'report' options).
