Newbie Alert

I think Waze is awesome. Community power at work!
I searched and found previous threads about map updates and routes driven not being updated. Those threads have been closed, with references to the Status page. But the Status page indicated it should all be OK about a week after 10 July.
Are there still problems?
I am in South Africa. My iPhone seems to be updating some info to the server sometimes, but when using iPad my routes, paving and other stats do not update. Both have the same account configured. I have some map updates I want to confirm, but in Live Map / Edit Map it tells me I have driven 0 km.
