Android beta 3.2.0.995 feedback thread

[Suik]

2 days since installation. Installation itself was fine, all restored. Yesterday, waze lost data connection and could not connect back, however 3G was working with other apps, today waze rebooted my phone while navigating. Reporting side seems to work OK.

I installed the beta during a longer drive (620 km) yesterday. Most parts worked fine, but only a third of the drive shows up in the archive. I had some freezes then the client started to work again w/o restart. Logs sent.

I haven't uploaded logs yet, but haven't gotten to explore every niche of it yet. When I was driving, I was getting a candy and before the candy appeared, the moving map stopped, my car virtually stopped, the speedometer showed 0 mph, and then when the candy appeared, everything resumed. I don't remember previous versions doing that.

And one bug more. Why the Waze client always dies when on background for a minute or more? I see the icon on the top status line, I see it also in the Android notifications page but when re-opened the application is started from scratch and reports a crash. I run other applications like IMO which have no problem to stay in background, so what's up with Waze?
Seen on my Samsung Galaxy S2 with 2.3.5 stock ROM but on other phones of my friends too.

I run into the same problem when I switch apps. I haven't had too many when I put the screen to sleep to go into the building, or not yet anyways. It is almost always related to switching to different app while Waze runs in the background. I forgot about that, and thanks for reminding me, that is a problem I experience as well.

Overall, the client experience has improved greatly over recent betas/releases. Well done.

Some points:
1. To re-iterate my previous post on this, the TTS gets behind when a number of nav instructions are close together, but TTS still insists on speaking all instructions, even though you've already driven past the location for the nav instruction.

2. Haven't seen any routing failures for a while, however occasionally see the message "Unable to locate end point" when a route re-calculation occurs. It's not a very clear error message, and I'm not really sure what it means, or why it occurs.

3. Do the search Categories get localisation? In the UK, "Mall" would be called "Shopping Centre".

3. Why is there no "Supermarket" Category.

4. I've never felt the need to search for the nearest "Beauty Salon"

5. Scoreboard. When switching between the Weekly/All Times/State/All listing, there is no visual feedback that it's doing something (i.e. downloading data).

6. A couple of cars in "My car" under "My Profile" still have file names.

7. Switching between miles/KMs still isn't immediately reflected in the "Events Radius" options.

8. Units should read "Miles" and "Kilometers", not "Mile" "Km".

9. Speed cameras aren't always being displayed on the map.

10. The mute button needs to be a bit bigger.

11. TTS still has some weird pronunciations, what's the process for this?

I got empty warning just before end of navigation. I can't describe more deeply because I don't know what reason for this warning was.

Perlin, neighborhood should be neighbourhood anyway, were the UK translations not added? Also can you guys make UK English the default for the UK instead of having to choose it manually?
Stuffhappens, make sure you're using UK English.

Try accelerating to 88 mph. Works for me

I'm in the UK so I don't know, but is there auto placement of the "."?

Any need for this thread now the new version is up, or is there no difference?
